HALIFAX (CP)—There’s been a lot of “doesy-dos” between the five-and - dime store in Boston years ago and Don. Messer’s pre- sent national television show.

Smiling Don, 50, is a little be- wildered by the success of his eight-member orchestra, the ‘“‘Is- landers.”’ It started on the CBC national television network last month as a summer replacement for Country Hoedown, for. - run of eight weeks. ,

Network officials said viewer response was “terrific,” and Don Messer’s Istanders now has a 52- week national TV contract.
