11 The Leader-Post Regina, Saskatchewan Monday, November 10, 1980 Neville hopes to get new theatre provincial government money and public assistance. Neville, the driving force behind Edmonton's Citadel Theatre before he came here, has just sighed a new three-year contract with Neptune. "The main reason for me having a new agreement is that we are building a new theatre," he said in a recent HALIFAX (CP) John Neville, largely credited with taking Neptune Theatre from near bankruptcy to capacity audiences, hopes It can move into a new home within three years that might cost $12 million in public funds. Neville said the target of a two-theatre facility and associated art gallery would require substantial federal and interview. He said the new facility should open during the life of his new contract, "if we move along pretty smartly now." It would replace quarters in a converted old movie house that he describes as "the slums." Neville acknowledged there are no financial commitments at the moment for the new facility, "but i feel confident that we shall be supported by our provincial government." "But I think we're all waiting for a commitment from the federal government.

That has to be the order of things." He describes the $12-million cost estimate as an "umbrella figure" which is "terribly cheap, although it sounds like a lot of money." A new Neptune Theatre would comprise a main stage and a studio theatre with a main auditorium of 650 seats and another area that would accommodate 250 people. Neville said Neptune "almost certainly" will stage a premiere in 1981-82 of a Nova Scotian play but he responded with restraint to criticism among Canadian playwrights that the theatre is not staging enough Canadian, particularly Nova Scotian, plays. M. Is another requirement- It has has to be good. The two things don't always coincide.

And 10 years after that it want all its radio broadcasting to be on frequency modulation bands. To achieve this long-term goal, some FM frequencies must be set aside for exclusive CBC use, the plan outline says. The plan also envisages the corporation ending its affiliation with private stations, eventually providing all its radio services on stations it owns and operates. The CBC is switching its French and English AM services to FM because of a shortage of AM channels, technical distortion especially at night on the crowded AM band, and to fulfil its objective of reaching every corner of the country It notes that FM frequencies, largely immune to noise, are available and says the clear technical superiority of FM in contrast to the declining effectiveness of AM, justifies the long-term objective of Battle lost? MISSISSAUGA, Ont.

(CP) The Mississauga condominium owner who started a national campaign against rising mortgage rates has been told by the sheriff to vacate his home by Sunday night or be evicted. Viv Woolford, who has made no second-mortgage payments since February, said Thursday he has no intention of moving his wife and four children out of their three-bedroom home. He said he is being evicted as leader of the mortgage revolt, because 10 neighbors who have also refused to make second-mortgage payments since February have not been served writs of Tonight's the night to get out and enjoy a great meal and feed the kids for less than a buck.

Prior to the awards, the adjudicators suggested ways to improve city involvement in the festival.

Despite its status among film festivals across Canada, Cloutier estimated only about one per cent of the city's population attended the festival this year. Cloutier and Klady suggested the various factions from the city pre-screen the films prior to the adjudication process. It would mean children pre-screening all entries in the children's film category and city sports group participants pre-screening all entries in the sports film category- In the future, when the city gets cable television, the pair suggesteed city-wide screening on community channels with voting to take place later on. Klady said: "It would give the festival an unique feature, unlike any festival in the world."
