Plays wheel-chair-boundcoach ~

By JERRY BUCK

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Robert Conrad, best-known
for his macho roles, does an
about-face to play a wheel-
chair-bound veteran who
coaches a football team of
incorrigibles in a juvenile
correction facility.

The two-hour movie, set

for Sunday night on NBC, is °

called Coach of the Year,
That is, unless NBC changes
the title again.

Conrad said he sold
NBC's president, Fred Sil-
verman, on the idea of an
athlete who becomes a dis-
placed person after he is
wounded in, Vietnam,

“People. see only his
handicap, but he still has
everything,” the actor said,

He works with young people
“who can be rehabilitated.”
zi Conrad has starred in
seven’ TV series, the most
recent ‘of which was the
ill-fated A Man Called Sloane
for NBC. He had to quit a
much better series, The
Duke, for that: fourth-rate
>.James Bond show, and he
figures NBC owed him one.
ACTION RECIPROCAL
“T told-Silverman I had
. done Sloane for him and now
he could do this for me,” he
said. “I'm not at all humble
about asking for reciprocal
action.”

The movie is the first
from Conrad's A. Shane Co.,
and daughter Joan Conrad

It also stars Daphne Max-
well, David Hubbard, Red

West, Ricky Paul and Lou back together his dream of

“But then there have al-

Arts seen as way
to unite Canadians

HALIFAX (CP) — The

easiest and cheapest way to
glue Canada together is
through the arts, says Mayor
Moore, chairman of the Can-
ada Council.

If Canadians do not get

to know each other as people,
and the arts and communi-
cations are the best ways of
doing this, Moore says “we
can haggle about oil and
argue about constitutions un-
til kingdom come, but we
won't be able to live together
as people.”

Moore, a playwright, dir-

ector, producer and actor,
said in an interview that
Canada’s legislators must be
made to understand that the
arts can unify the country,
and it is up to “the members
of the arts community and
those ib

directed for Neptune in its
first season in 1963. ee
THINK NATIONALLY

He was asked if the
Canada Council was doing a
good job and if it had its
priorities right.

“I'm not sure what you
mean by ‘right’,” he said. “I
am not sure there is an
absolute. We on the council

At present, he said, no

Canada Council money goes
for new developments in the
arts, putting the Maritimes
and the West at a disad-
vantage.

“We are cutting off the

future because we don't have

future will depend,” - said

more subdued note.

The trio entered the

a family adventure, already

Circle Of Two, both big-
budget features with big-
name stars,

Now the company is
operating at a much lower
level because the three films
failed to meet expectations

the country,” he said. “We
always have this terrible
tension between trying to
keep at a high level those
organizations which have
reached that achievement,
and helping the disadvan-
taged areas — those who
need future development.
You need them both.”

Although he said the en-
tire Canadian arts budget is
less than it costs Canada to
buy a fighter aircraft, Moore
says there has been “phen-
omenal” growth in the arts in
this country in the last 25
years.

In that time, he said,
“the arts in Canada have
exploded in a way that prob-
ably has few parallels any-
where or anytime in history.”

It took a tremendous
effort to found Neptune here
in the early 1960s, he said,
and it was one of only a few
such efforts to succeed in
Canada in the years following
the Second World War.

Jesus Christ was born

to respect, to share, and to
live in peace with one an-
