We were killing time one day and so we asked her to stick it on for us to see. It was incredible. The beekeeper was articulate.

Early Bird Bonanza 7:15 Cards 5 for SI 0 By Denise Ball of The Leader-Post Yorkton La Route des Etoiles, one in a series of six half-hour television shows about a group of Quebec children, captured the Golden Sheaf Award for best production at the 20th Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival on Saturday. The charming film directed by Andre Melancon of Montreal also walked away with craft awards for best script and best direction and took the best under-30-minute drama production category. The best script award was accompanied by a $1,000 cash prize presented by Superchannel. La Route des Etoiles The Road of the Stars was viewed by a largely un-ilingual English audience Friday as part of the festivals public screening. Although few viewing the film understood the dialogue, the warmth of the simply told story of children and friendship held their attention.

The six-part series has been purchased by the CBC and will be seen on the network in a dubbed English version early in the new year. Wall to Wall, a documentary about prison inmates working with a group of mentally retarded men, was another multiple-prize winner at the festival. It took awards for best documentary production under 30 minutes and best sound editing. Alex The Splendour of Order, a look at the Canadian artists life and work, received awards for best documentary over 30 minutes and best cinematography. The festival also awarded prizes to films which have already received international recognition.

Flamenco at 5: 15, an Academy Award winner, won in the best fine arts production category, and Narcissus, Norman Mclarens last film, took the best experimental production award. Only one Saskatchewan entry An-hangar by Clark Henderson of Saskatoon in the experimental category ad-vanced to the finals. But while Hendersons film did not win, Saskatchewan work was not completely neglected. The jury gave one of three special awards to Bee Farming in Saskatchewan directed by Gerry Peppier of Yorkton. Juror Dave Billington said the film, one of more than 100 festival entries that did not make it to the final round, came to the panels attention by accident.

The wife of the beekeeper featured in the film was our projectionist, Billington said. One night she started explaining to us about beekeeping and casually mentioned that someone had made a working in television stations from coast to coast who never get encourage-ment." The jury also awarded a certificate of merit to Kangeiko, a seven-minute film by two recent graduates of the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. The film by Mark David Stewart and Walter Shepherd made a hit with jurors and audiences for its imaginative look at two Kendo fighters meeting in a winter garden. A four-member pre-selection jury viewed all 165 entries and advanced 62 for final adjudication. A.

second five-member panel picked the winners. The final adjudicators decided not to select winners in two categories best drama production over 30 minutes and best sportrecreation production. Billington said the jurys decision was made to maintain the festivals high standards. I take the standards here very seriously. he said.

I wouldn't want to fel I had to give an award for the sake of giving one. Talk around the tables at the awards ceremonies centred on the future of the festival and maintaining its national and even international prestige. Several delegates remarked on the noticeable lack of interest shown by Saskatchewan filmmakers in this years festival. Most delegates attending workshops and panel discussions represented the juries or government agencies such as the National Film Board or Telefilm Canada. And while there was a ful house for public screenings Friday night, organizers were disappointed by the turnout earlier in the week.

Several delegates said the festival needs to attract people actively involved in the industry, from national distributors to Saskatchewan technicians. Otherwise, the festival is in danger of becoming little more than an adjudication service. But organizers are looking to the future. Golden Sheaf award winners will be sent out this week for the start of a national tour that will carry the festival name from Toronto to Vancouver. And the festival hopes, to have a computerized catalogue in place for 1985.

The system will provide a full list of festival award winners organized by subject index along with distribution contacts. Sheila Harris, the festivals executive secretary, said she hopes groups looking for material for conferences or training programs or organizations in the market for drama or childrens films and videos will make use of the list.

You could not watch more than a few minutes of last summers pics coverage without listening to commercials promoting the new series about an air force pilot, played by Craig T. Nelson, and his family. It is set in the 1960s. Call To Glory made its debut in August in a two-hour movie that ran the Monday night after the Olym--pics ended and all the ballyhoo paid off. The show was first in the ratings that week.

Then it began to slip, particularly when it faced non-rerun competition on CBS and NBC. But ABC is sticking by Call To Glory. The network has ordered nine more shows for the full-season commitment of 22 and it would be a shame to see it fall by the wayside. It is an honest and well-made show and one of the few on ABC that is not fuelled on glitz. ABC has voiced total confidence in the show and they believe that in January, when the football season ends, the ratings will come up.

And historically, they have, said Steve Tisch, co-executive producer with Jon Avnet. He added that no changes would be made to hype the ratings. Call To Glory has several strikes against it, not the least of which is Monday Night Football. The show is seen before the game in the East and after the game in the West. Secondly, the show is perceived as male-oriented because of the air force setting.

Any show needs a good share of the female audience to be a ratings winner. This is the first series for Tisch and Avnet. They made the well-regarded television movies The Burning Bed and Silence of the Heart and the feature film Risky Business. "Its been Steves goal and mine to do only quality work, said Avnet. "And if that means we only reach, 20 million people instead of 25 million people, well continue to do it.

They point out that NBCs Hill Street Blues started far down in the ratings and then began its climb when it swept the Emmys for the first time. They now have a very desirable audience from the standpoint of demographics," said Avnet. "I think we're getting that same kind of audience. The idea for the show came when an agent on the producers softball TOTAL PRIZES COULD BE 7-10 p.m. ALL NIGHT BINGO FRIDAYS Doors Open 5 p.m..

(AP) Bob Hope donned the red-and-black colors of the University of Georgia as he punctuated a non-stop barrage of political and social satire with references to Bulldogs football at the schools homecoming rally. Delivering a series of often bawdy observations on a variety of topics, including sex and age, Hope closed the show to a standing ovation with his familiar signature tune, Thanks for the Memories. "Age doesnt mean a thing, the 81-year-old comedian said. Its not how old you feel, its how often.

Hope said he occasionally gets together with fellow octagenarian George Burns and some older fellows to clasp hands and try to contact the living.
