First, he had never come out of the sky as he said, to attend a meeting before.

He felt it was unique to find a place in Saskatchewan although spelled differently by the name of Carlyle, and Czechoslovak entry Inspiration." In I960 the Golden Sheaf was awarded to the National Film Board for the film Universe. The purpose of the international documentary film festival is to extend public interest In films; to place documentaries on a higher level and give to the public a better knowledge of film usage. Students of St. Josephs college, Sacred Heart Academy, Yorkton collegiate and the Yorkton composite high will be special guests of the film council at the Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon sessions. A special selection of films of particular interest to the students and to the general public has been made for these two afternoon sessions.

To people in the film world in Europe, Asia, Australia and South Africa the city of Yorkton is not connected with wheat, with politics or industry, it is the site of the Canadian international documentary film festival. Film festivals bring to mind Vienna, Edinburgh and Cannes, but Yorkton film council has, with a mixture of audacity, imagination and sheer hard work, made the city of Yorkton the centre where the best of world documentaries are screened. On Oct. 15, 16 and 17 the seventh biennial documentary film festival will take place. producer in the United States.

Films from the United Kingdom, Netherlands, India, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, New Zealand and other countries made possible a two-day festival. An audio-visual workshop was held in conjunction with this festival. Regularly since then, every two years the festival has been held with more exhibitors and better films being shown. The festival has attracted many personalities from the foreign embassies such as a press secretary from the German embassy; two secretaries from the Russian embassy and a representative from the United Kingdom Information Office. Members of the film council National Film Board officials 'isar I't'Jtfr' Contract let ior building A contract for the construction of a new dial telephone building at Strasbourg has been awarded to Hahn Construction of Fort QuAppelle, Hon C.

C. Williams, minister of telephones, has announced. The community dial office, to be located just north of the present exchange, will house new automatic switching equipment for Strasbourg town and rural telephones. The new one-storey building will be of concrete block and brick construction and, will rest on a concrete slab floor. Construction is to be completed this fall.

The telephone office now provides manual switching for 278 local and 255 rural telephones. press and radio representatives and other exhibitors have attended the past festivals. THREE JUDGES Each year three judges are brought in to judge the films for the various awards. Some of the past judges have been Gordon Hawkins and Frank Morris, formerly of Winnipeg Free Press; Gordon Campbell of Regina, former director of adult education; Prof. A.

Wirick, University of Saskatchewan, and Mrs. Lawrence Cherry of Regina. In 1958, to mark the fifth fes-tival and the 75th anniversary of the city of Yorkton, the film council designed a trophy known as the Golden Sheaf to be awarded to the best film, all categories. In that year the Gol den Sheaf was awarded to the HOMEMADE AIRCRAFT: Known as the Stits Skycoupe, this aircraft is the fourth machine to be built by Cecil Goddard of Alida. It is 19 feet in length, has a wing span of more than 27 feet and a cruising speed of about 120 miles an hour.

Building aircraft Alida mans hobby did not have the public behind them as the doctors were supported by the people of Saskatchewan in the recent medicare dispute. English doctors had not been in favor of the British medical plan but when they had eventually surrendered to it, the government felt it had won a great victory. Since it has been In operation it has been found that it is not satisfactory to either doctors or patients, Dr. Johnson said. The doctor-patient situation is growing worse as time goes on.

The result has been that approximately one-third of the young doctors trained in Britain are leaving the country. The gaps are being filled by doctors from other countries of the Commonwealth, doctors with less experience and different teaching causing a lowering of hospital care. Doctors in England are classified in three sections: general practitioners, consultants and specialists. General practioners are being denied the right of entering hospitals to look after their patients so must send them to a consultant which runs into more expense and often means delayed attention. Dr.

Johnson said the people of England didnt rise up against this injustice as the people of Saskatchewan had done, because they are more conservative and they are most reluctant to admit they have made a mistake. VOLUNTARY SERVICE He said there is an increasing number of people who are paying into a voluntary service so that they may have a good doctor when they feel they need or want one. What they need is KOD (Keep Our Doctors) committees in England and he is going to advocate that they form them upon his return to England, Dr. Johnson said. He urged Saskatchewan doctors to stay in Saskatchewn and work while they make their fight for their rights.

They have the people behind them, he said. The whole world is watching Saskatchewan medicare. While he feels the situation has not been properly publicized in England or er countries, their fight will still leave its imprints on the world. Russell Stockton, a member of the Carlyle KOD committee, thanked Dr. Johnson and presented him with a gift memento of Carlyle.

Herb Padwick of Regina spoke on behalf of the provincial KOD organization saying the mam concern of the KOD group is to keep the doctors in the rovince. THE ONLY WAY "The only way we can do this is to ensure that patients have the right to choose who they want to treat them and that the doctors have the right to work in their own way, he said. To be able to do this, we as citizens must have a voice in what is done. For every responsibility we are relieved of, we lose certain rights as free citizens. Lloyd Lewis expressed the thanks of the people to Dr.

E. Harvey of Carlyle and Dr. E. L. Plaster of Areola for their faithfulness and loyalty.

Chairman of the meeting was E. J. Brady. have had nightly sessions of previewing. The bleary-eyed on Yorktons streets the past few weeks are not the drinking crowd, they are merely members of the Yorkton film council who have almost worn out their eyes previewing more than 92 films, from 38 producers from such widely separated countries as India, France, Japan, Hungary, China, as well as other European, South African, American and Canadian producers.

Producers from these countries have entered their best for screening in Yorktons festival. ONLY THE BEST From the viewpoint of excellence in content and photography as well as the time factor, only the best can be shown in the festival. The selection committee Jias laid down stringent rules and the films are ruthlessly weeded out leaving only the best. A feature of the festival is that all admissions are free. Everyone that wishes can attend all five sessions without any admission or subscription memberships of any kind.

The festival has no sponsoring body other than the film council, no "angels nor grants, the only source of revenue is from the sale of programs. Over the years service clubs, council members, friends, husbands, brothers and sisters of same have sold programs. The festival started out in a very small way in 1950 when Jim Lysyshyn, national film board representative, presented the idea of an international documentary film festival to tho wide awake, enthusiastic York-ton film council. At that time there was no similiar festival being held anywhere on the American continent and so the council went ahead with plans BEST FILM AWARD: The golden sheaf trophy, above, will be awarded to the producer of the 'best film shown at the international documentary film festival at Yorkton Oct. 15, 16 and 17.

First awarded in 1958 to mark the fifth biennial festival and the 75th anniversary of the city of Yorkton, the trophy was designed by the Yorkton film council. It has been awarded twice, once to a Czechoslovakian film producer and once to the National Film Board.

The temperature gauge, for example, is a transplant from a Case tractor. And so on. Recently Mr. Goddard made the initial flight in his homemade craft. It has been approved by the department of transport and can be flown within a 25 mile radius of its Alida base.

When we paid Mr, Goddard a visit to see his plane he was away on a Saturday afternoon jaunt in his Stits Skycoupe. A welder by trade, Mr. Goddard says he has always been interested in airplanes and flying. He learned to fly at Moose Jaw in 1931. During the Second World War he trained navigators for the RCAF at Winnipeg Beside the.

hangar in the Goddard yard, sits another accomplishment of Mr. Goddard, a gyrocopter. Little more than a seat on wheels with rotor blade above, the device is pulled by a motor vehicle until it becomes airborne, on the same principle as a kite, but with a man aboard. The blade, which can take the machine to an altitude of 75 feet on the end of a rope, also lets the gyrocopter down slowly to a safe landing. EXPENSIVE HOBBY Mr.

Goddard is as enthusiastic about airplanes as a Wilbur or Orville Wright, but not for the money he makes its an expensive hobby. Rather, it is the satisfaction he derives from creating something, seeing it work, improving and perfecting it. Perhaps the builders enthusiasm and zest for airplanes is infectious. Sons Kenneth and Donald seem to have a bit of it too. hotel.

The banquet was part of the program of the workshop and convention of the Swift Current school unit teachers which was held in Waldeck with sessions Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Mr. Turnbull said unless full understanding and co-operation by teachers, parents, school boards and the community in By PATRICK ARMSTRONG ALIDA (Special) Making his own aircraft and flying them is old hat to Cecil Goddard of Alida. It was during the early 1930s when he was a youth of 19 or 20 that Mr. Goddard built his first During August of this year he completed his fourth machine.

Known as the Stits Skycoupe, the latest Goddard model is a trim flying ship indeed. It is 19 feet in length and has a wing span of more than 27 feet. A two-seater, high wing craft, the fuselage is white in except for two red stripes Tuning along each side. The wings also are red in color. Powered by 125 horsepower Lycoming engine, the airplane has a cruising speed of about 120 miles an hour.

It is capable of climbing about 200 feet a minute. With a total weight of around 800 pounds, the plane has a fuel capacity of 16 gallons. Gasoline consumption varies with flying conditions but normally approximates six or seven gallons an hour. The frame of the craft is made of welded steel tubing and covered by a new, tough nylon fabric. The wings are of light weight wood and covered with the same nylon material as the body.

Cecil Goddard began building his present plane early last December and finished it around the end of August. During that time he says, I lived in the garage in my spare time. With him much of the time were his two sons Kenneth and Donald, who helped in the construction of the plane. They did a lot of the dirty work such as cleaning up the tubing used in the frame, says their dad. Parts for the aircraft came from all over the North American continent.

The engine is from the United States, the tubing from here and there the wood for the wings from somewhere else. On the instrument panel gadgets from many REGINA Alpha Construction Charlobois-Dotters Ltd. Clark Roofing (Sask.) Ltd. Modern Insulators Ltd. North Sask.

He said assessment must be made of school programs in the light of new developments today and new loads and pressures of academic teaching should also be examined. With the vast strides being made today there must be some kind of system which caters to all which gives equality of opportunity in education to all, Mr. Turnbull emphasized. He explained that schooling must be designed to aid those students with the most ability to get ahead by the fastest means possible. The only way this can be done is to have the understanding of the community.

Rutherford of Govan gave a biography of Mr. Fredenckso showing he was bom in Glen-boro, and first went to work as a clerk for the Northern Crown bank in Glenboro, later moving to Govan.

When the bank amalgamated with the Bank of Quebec Mr. Frederickson, rather then leave Govan, left the bank and set up an insurance business which he still operates. Mr. Frederickson has been active in community life ever since coming to Govan, Mr. Rutherford said.

Serving in the United Church, the board of trade, the town council and the IOOF lodge, He was mayor of Govan for five years.
