The festival is the closing project in what has been a lengthy of birthday celebrations throughout the summer. A special feature of the 1958 festival will be the awarding of a special trophy "The Golden Sheaf." It was designed purposely for the coming festival.

The new districts are interesting, but I found it somewhat difficult to find my way around." Dr. Alty, who was professor of physics at the University here for 10 years, left at the time that President W. Murray retired, and took up a position at the University Of Glasgow. From Glasgow he went directly to Grahamstown. He revisited Saskatoon for the two days of the stay of the group of the Association of Universities of the British Commonwealth which chose Saskatoon for part of its tour.

"The University here has also grown tremendously," he added, "and I thought that the new library, and the other new buildings, were very fine. The improvement in the grounds is also remarkable. It was surely a pleasure to meet so many 1 friends. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here." Rhodes University, he said, had been founded and endowed by the trustees of the estate of Cecil Rhodes, but was now a state-supported insitution. With an enrol- ment of the Union, he said, had announced its attention of disaffiliating this college and placing it directly under the department FREE ESTIMATES TOP SOIL -CRUSHED ROCK FULL YARDAGE GUARANTEED of native affairs.

The large entry is well over the 1956 figure and indicative of the wide and growing interest in this outstanding event sponsored by the Yorkton Film Council. The festivals have been held In Yorkton biannually since 1950. They have continued to grow In both world-wide interest and recognition.

Similar festivals are held in large centres such as London and Vienna. At least on two occasions foreign embassies have sent representatives to make personal observations and reports. Two came from tbe Russian embassy In 1956 when that country entered films for the first time. New exhibitors in 1958 are Israel and Czechoslavakia. Norway, an exhibitor in 1952, has again sent entries.

The film council's preview committee Is already busy and has a heavy schedule in the next few weeks to select the best films for screening at the festival. Not all films entered are necessarily shown. One country lipped the seven films requested to 12. All, of course, will be viewed by the preview committee.

His topic, "The Province of Saskatchewan" consisted of a birdseye view of the province's geography, history, and economic resources. Prof. Britnell said the province's economy was still based on wheat growing, and that the world market for wheat had declined since its big expansion in the years immediately after the war.
