Unlike those villains, the man behind the show's music got away. After three years of scor- ing the show, Hammer has stepped down from handling the weekly music chores for Miami Vice. And he's re- leased a new album, aptly titled Escape From Tele. vision “It was very autobiogra- phical when the name was coined,” Hammer said re- cently in an interview at his manager's Manhattan office. “We went through many different titles, and then I came up with Escape From Television, because I was definitely leaving the show.” The decision to leave, Hammer said, was not too difficult to make. “There's other things I want to do like living without this sword handing over your head,” said Ham- mer, 39, who scored the first Dixielce WIT et TS, coronn SAVE $400 CHICKEN DINNER OR FISH Each dinner consists of chicken and / or Fish.

But he has few regrets about Miami Vice, which produced Hammer's lone No. 1 single with the TV show's theme song. Now, Hammer says, he’s ready to return to his solo career and continue his collaborative efforts with Jeff Beck, once of the Yard birds and one of rock's leading guitarists. Hammer's initial collab. orations with Beck followed the 1973 break-up of his ac claimed fusion band, Mahiv ishnu Orchestra, with gui. tarist Jon McLaughlin. HAVING A FLING . . .

BEACH SHOW AIMED AT TEEN AUDIENCE By DAVID LANG Press VANCOUVER — Here's a totally awesome idea for teen-oriented telewajon — a show designed to appeal to young people that doesn’t gross out on car crashes, sex and drugs. The working title is At the Beach and a pilot episode is scheduled to go before the cameras this spring near Vancouver. “We're not doing that over-dramatic, climactic, unrealistic stuff,” says Gail Murray, who created At the Beach with her husband, Graeme. “It's just a more honest, more realistic approach, but with an overlay of fantasy, humor and good music.” She says'the show will explore the lives of seven “somewhat rebellious” young people on the fringes of the school system. Last year the Murrays’ Vancouver company, Black Rose Film Productions, shot an 18-minute mini-pilot, called a promo, in the nearby waterfront community of White Rock. The promo was shown to the Disney pay TV network in the United States, which liked the look of White Rock beaches and streets. The pilot, budgeted at $1.5 million US, will be written and directed by Graeme Murray, who has worked on several film and TV projects in British Columbia, including the CBC's Beachcombers and the movie Never Cry. Wolf. If the pilot leads to a series, it will initially be shown on the Disney pay service. But Gail Murray says the CBC has expressed interest and there are also discussions about selling the show in Europe. “It’s one of those things where everything works out {and) you know it must be good — there's something keeping it going,” she said of the gathering energy behind At the Beach. While Disney may want to have an American star for the show, the rest of the production is entirely Canadian. The existing cast is made up of seven White Rock high-school students — four boys and three girls. Most have little or no previous acting experience, but are full of enthusiasm and a fresh look that Disney seems to want. “Doing that show (the promo) was the best time I ever had in my life,” said Wesley Darcey, 19, one of the seven actors. “It was so much fun. It was like being at camp or something.” Darcey, who was among dozens of young people who applied for the roles in the promo, says acting is “all I want to do now.” In addition to the local cast, the film and production crew are also Canadian, and the show will use B.C. bands to provide an up-tempo music score. Gail Murray says one reason At the Beach has gotten So far is the support of the B.C. film industry. “We wouldn't have been able to do any of this without the money, the time, the patience, the encouragement of the film industry people. “The talent is here. Everyone has learned without having to go to a school. They've learned on-set, practical experience with the Americans,” Murray said, referring to the recent proliferation of U.S. movie and TV productions in British Columbia. “It’s time to do it ourselves.” Arbitrator wanted for Bethune film MONTREAL (CP) — Screenwriter Ted Allan wants an independent arbi: trator to decide the fate of Bethune: The Making of a dicted would “create total Hero, the $16-million film and chaos.” television mini-series on hold “I propose that either because of financial difficult.

Principal photography on the film based on Allan's script, was completed in China last summer but the project came to a standstill recently because of a lack of funds. Filmline is asking Telefilm Canada, the federal funding agency, for an addi tional $2 million to resume work. Allan was a friend and bio- grapher of Norman Bethune, the Canadian doctor who became a hero of the Chinese Revolution. Allan has ac- cused Sutherland of being “egomaniacal” and of trying to “trivialize” his film script. Bethune is a co-production involving Canada, China and France. of the Mall.

The Historical Com- mittee, under the chairman- ship of Michael Heard, will collect, catalogue and display wartime memorabilia. The goal of this committee is to have a display area where medals, documents, ration books, log books, let- ters, and other memorabilia will be professionally dis- played in a secure and at- tractive manner by a licensed archivist. It is proposed to solicit donations of these items from the Legion membership and the public. For those who would rather retain owner ship but would like to have their items displayed the committee is developing a system whereby the items would be held in trust by the branch and adequately in. sured and protected from dampness or other deter. ioration. “It is felt that this archival display will be an asset to the branch, older members will have their memories warmed up and younger members will gain an insight into what life was like during wartime,” said spokesman Janice Kel- ley. “How many people have seen the pages of a bomber pilot's log book or a ration book? “It has been argued that a society which ignores its his- tory is doomed to repeat the errors of the past.” If you have any material that may be of interest, contact Michael at 365-2946 or leave a message at the branch. Pulpit & Pew By Pastor ED NEUFELD TRUE CONTENTMENT I wonder if you could be quite honest with yourself for ‘a few_minutes. Do you con- sider yourself to be content? What I mean is, do you really have everything you could possibly want from life? Most of us are far from iNew Life A being content. Some of us stage a concert day Musical group here The Continental's, an in ternationally-recognized Ch- ristian musical group, will present a concert of inspira tional and traditional Christ- ian music on Monday at the New Life Pentecostal As. sembly. Featuring 24 vocalists and a 10-piece orchestra, the Continental's two-part pro- gram will focus on themes of devotion, inspiration and worship, integrating a var. iety of popular Christian songs, hymn medleys and gospel music arrangements. Cam Floria, Continentals’ president and producer of the program, promises that it is a concert that will appeal to Syringa burning planned As part of an ongoing wildlife enhancement pro gram, the Ministry of En vironment and Parks, wild life branch, will be conduc. ting prescribed burns south of Syringa Creek in the near future.

We want to encourage adults to stay in the race, hang in there, see it to the finish. While to young people, we want to say, ‘Run for Jesus and run to win’.” Floria notes that the in- spiration for this part came from the books of I Corin- thians and Hebrews in the Bible. The message there, Floria says, is appropriate now more than ever. “Christians need to be de- termined to work together, to be unified in our ‘race.’ We must persevere together against all opposition and odds.” The second part of the Continentals’ program will concentrate on the worship of God. “We need, as individuals and as churches, a renewed sense of worship,” Floria believes. “We must renew Annual General Meeting Kootenay Columbia Cooperative Society Sun., March 27 p.m. Ootischenia Hall JAZZ COUSPIRACY Tuesday through Saturday March 22 to March 26 SPOKANE'S BEST DANCE BAND!

Take the example of the Apostle Paul who gave him- self totally to establishing the Church during the First Cen- tury AD. The Apostle Paut writes: “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation” (Philippians 4:12). Incredible words for our materialistic society. True contentment is not to be found in wealth and pos- sessions. Everything we could possible possess in our life here on this earth wastes away in time. For even when we die, we cannot take one red cent worth of anything with us. So what point is there in basing our content- ment on material objects that have such temporary value? True contentment, as the Apostle Paul revealed to us, is a state of soul and mind that can accept any outward circumstance. The focus of such contentment is on the salvation from our sin and the guarantee of eternal life the Jesus can bring to a person. These spiritual trea. sures that Jesus gives to us last forever. You can possess these spiritual treasures by merely acknowledging that you are a sinner, turning from your sin, and putting your faith in Jesus Christ. Then you too will discover what true con- tentment is. Therefore, you could lose everything you now possess, yet that would not disturb your sense of contentment. For if you are a Christian, you still possess the greatest treasure in the universe; faith in Jesus and all the ac- companying spiritual bene- fits. If you desire such true contentment, come to Jesus today and experience for yourself the difference He can make in your life. + Graciously restored @ hotel in the grand tradition. * Deluxe rooms, some with steam bath + Stately lou +Food discounts for all guests at the Garden Cate. + Super saver and bonus book coupons welcome. 4 rene YOU Pay FROM VALID UNTIL APRIL 30, 1968 700 YATES STREET VICTOMA B.C VOW ILE TOLL FREE 1-000-469-4101 or 384-4198
