RECOGNIZE WEEKLY PAPER ROLE HE VITAL ROLE of the Can'adii�an weekly newspaper ..LL in the life of the community and the nation will get recognition on ,the motion picture screen. A film, still un- titled and currently in the stage of being edited, is to be produced by the National Fil'¢n Board depicting the im- portant position hel din each conwnunaty by its weekly -aper. . When released, the film will be •available to film councils and film libraries and is being considered for re- lease to ,theatres. It will also get nation-wide screening on the NFB's extensive system of rural 'circuits. Eventually, it will be given international distribution through the Board's foreign offices, Canada's embassies, legations and trade commissioners' offices. In this it wall probably be produced in a number of foreign languages and may go to .as many as 70 countries other than Canada end the United Stattes. NFB's film on the weekly newspapers of Canada will 'not be a mere screen document of the aneehanilcs of pub- ' • ldsshiing a paper. Of necessity, it will show the operations of publication bolt the pri'n'cipal aim of the production will be to emp'h'asize how vitally the paper and its editor and . staff enter into connmunity life and activities, how they serve the area covered by the paper and how the activities in that area affect the paper and its contents and services. Rather than leap from one place to another and 'try to c'over'all of the hundreds of weekly newspapers in the Dominion: •a process that would result in confusion and ,defeat the purpose of the film—the production Will center, :around a single publication and use it to tell the story of :all weeklies. Morten Parker, NFB director and his produc- tion crew spent several weeks filming the community and .neibg'Inb'ouring countryside at Vernon, B.C., concentrating on the Vernon News. The News, well-known to all weekly publishers anal editors, was selected as representative of all Canadian weeklies. Release dates for the film have not been set. © © 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today—A pat on the back develops character if admin'stered young enough, often enough. and low enough.
