Phone 364-1816 T.V. violence draft code prepared OTTAWA (CP) — Violence may well be part of the real world but TV broadcasters are being asked to take special care about how that reality is portrayed in the news, especially when it involves terrorism or criminal events. A draft code on television violence, prepared by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters with its members and outside groups, advises broadcasters to consider the effects on viewers of news reports involving violence. aggression and destruction The draft code calls for extreme care and discretion in covering domestic terrorism or other criminal events such as hostage takings “to ensure news covereage does not impinge on the safety ot those involved or become a factor in influencing actions of participants in the incident.” The code, expected to come into effect early in the year, would be a voluntary guide to member TV stations and broadcast companies. TV journalists are asked, where warranted, to be prepared to advise viewers, especially during late afternoon news broadcasts, of violent scenes which might disturb or offend children and other viewers. “While care should be taken not to exaggerate conditions of conflict or confrontation, equal care should be taken not to sanitize the reality of the human condition.” ROLE OF MEDIA The role of the media generally in local terrorist and hostage incidents has been underscored in two events in Ottawa within the last 18 months. Earlier this year, the vice-consul at the Bahamian high commission was held hostage by a man who talked to reporters by telephone during the first hour of the event During the trial, it was learned he was monitoring radio news reports throughout the 14-hour incident An Ottawa police official had testified that the hostage taker became agitated by a report on an Ottawa radio station about police preparing to storm the building. The vice-consul was later released unharmed and the hostage taker was sentenced to five years in prison. : Trenchcoats in _— GUEST PASTOR . . . Dave Ruis, co-pastor of the N.

Sixty-one attended the function held recently at the Sandman Inn FILM LEGEND Award winning Wyler By INA WARREN The Canadian Press He was known on the Hollywood lots as “90-take” Wyler, but his perfectionism earned him three Academy Awards and a place in film legend William Wyler’s movies include such classics as Mrs. Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives, The Heiress, Ben Hur and Funny Girl. But by the 1960s his reputation had declined and a new breed of critics accused him of lacing an “auteur” style, or identifiable signature as a director. Wyler retired in 1970 and, despite pressure from such longtime collaborators as Lillian Hellman and Bette Davis, never made another film Luckily, today’s movie buffs will have a chance to evaluate and enjoy Wyler, the man and his pictures, in an engaging portrait called Directed By William Wyler and made by Canadian film-maker A Slesin.

Three days after Slesin saw him in 1981 at his Beverly Hills home, the 79-year-old director died Along with scenes from his 37 feature films, there are candid and amusing anecdotes from Audrey Hepburn, Barbra Streisand, Sir Laurence Olivier, Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston and many more cinema personalities. Did anyone refuse to be interviewed about Wyler? “No, they all liked Willy”, Or as Bette Davis says in the movie: recalls Slesin. “If Willy Wyler would have asked me to jump in the Hudson River, I would have done so.” AIM PERFECTION Wyler directed Davis in some of her greatest roles, among them Jezebel (1938), the tale of a scandalous southern belle that launched Davis to stardom, and The Little Foxes (1941). Yet they clashed incessantly Her lips pursed, Davis recalls: takes in front of 250 extras.” “He once made me do 48 Golden Child weekend hit HOLLYWOOD (AP) The Golden Child starring Eddie Murphy kept its glow at the box office last week end, pulling in $7.9 million and proving it doesn't have lead feet despite unfavorable reviews.

The film earned $2.8 million its first weekend out. Australian import Croco. dile Dundee has turned a ‘gday” at the box office into 13 weeks of success. Though Wyler demanded perfection from his actors, he never articulated what he wanted. He just waited until they got it right and even then he never said it was good Heston recalls that early in the shooting of Ben Hur (1959), Wyler called him over and said: “You have to be better in this part.” The nervous young actor asked if he had some specific advice Wyler replied: “No. You just have to be better.” Heston and Wyler both won Oscars for Ben Hur. Olivier credits Wyler with making him a good screen actor by berating him “in a very rough, insulting way.” In the tragic love story Wuthering Heights, shot in England, Olivier was playing Heathcliff, with Merle Oberon as Cathy ‘I was overacting appallingly,” says Olivier, shaking his head BORN IN ALSACE Bette Davis recalls Wyler as “an amazingly inarticulate man,” which probably had a lot to do with the fact that he was born in Alsace and grew up speaking French and German. He didn’t start learning English until his 20s After studying the violin in Paris, Wyler had the good fortune to meet a distant relative, Carl Laemmle, the head of Universal Pictures, who brought him to New York After a brief stint in Universal's publicity office, Wyler was transferred to Hollywood where he made his debut in 1925 at the age of 23 In two years, he turned out 40 two-reel westerns and emerged as one of Hollywood's most prolific directors With the onset of the Second World War, Wyler, a European Jew, was determined to do his part to fight Hitler with a Hollywood-style propaganda GOT OSCAR Mrs. Miniver, a melodrama starring Greer Garson, about an Englishwoman’s bravery during the Blitz, brought Wyler his first Oscar Lillian Hellman recalls out of the screening-room in tears.

SUBMARINE BATTLES By DAN BEDELL The Canadian Press Sandwiched between biting commentaries on the decline of Canada’s navy since the Second World Wart, James Lamb fills his latest book with a fascinating, frank account of Canada’s life-and-death sea battle with German submarines. - The title, On The Triangle Run, refers to the area in which convoys of merchant ships were escorted by the Royal Canadian Navy from New York, Boston, ‘Halifax, Sydney, N.S., and St. John’s, Nfid., to mid-Atlantic ren. dezvous with British escorts. Drawing on his own experiences as a corvette commander and those of veterans who survived U-boat attacks, as well as from documents that remained classified until 30 years after the war, Lamb pieces together the horror, heroics, humor and mistakes — often fatal — of Canada’s naval war effort. OOK REVIEW Lamb, the former editor and publisher of the Orillia (Ont.) Daily Packet and Times, describes in riveting detail the loss of the frigate HMCS Valleyfield and 125 of its 163 crewmen. Some died from the torpedo blast — the rest fell victim to confusion and hesitation among other warships in the convoy What was thought to be the killer submarine was attacked with depth charges by one corvette. Its crew was soon sickened by the realization that they had blasted away at Valleyfield’s battered hulk below. In this book, as with his previous Canadian best seller, The Corvette Navy, Lamb proves that the harshness of war didn’t thwart occasional humor, in or out of the triangle run. As a lieutenant commanding HMCS Camrose, Lamb couldn't resist when the British signal station at Gilbraltar flashed its standard challenge: “What Ship?” The approaching corvette issued its own challenge to the landmark: “What Rock He tells of a lieutenant who ordered warning shots Canada during war fired at what was unmistakably a British Columbia ferry off Vancouver because it didn't identify itself. After the enraged ferry captain seized a bullhorn and hurled every imaginable curse at him, the officer silenced the guns with the sheepish message: “Ship is friendly.” PUSHES CANADIAN On The Triangle Run expresses frustration with the government for insisting during the war, as it often does now, that ships, weapons and equipment be made in Canada even if it means higher costs, slower delivery or poorer quality than if bought elsewhere. “Ottawa was with new construction — industrial expansion, jobs, profits, votes — and operations were of secondary concern,” Lamb writes. “From first to last, Canada’s naval war effort oattered from the r of the navy's d g in Ottawa from its operations at sea.” Still, it was an awesome effort, with Canada’s fleet of almost 400 major combat ships at the end of the war being more than 50 times larger than its handful of second-hand destroyers at the outset. The navy safely escorted 25,000 merchant ships, sank 23 U-boats and captured 24 others. SHIPS ‘BLAND’ Writing about Canada's current fleet of 20 des troyers and three submarines, all between 13 and 30 years old, Lamb describes the ships as bland and innocuous. Modern sailors, meanwhile, are “pallid people a race apart from the tough, sea-hardened crews of our primitive corvettes.” In Lamb's view, switching the navy to green uni forms from blue and dropping the name Royal Canadian Navy when the unified Canadian Armed Forces was established in the late 1960s was salt in the wounds of the dwindling fleet that was once proud, modern and versatile. Lamb closes with a plea for a new defence policy that restores navy capabilities and traditions he considers vital to good morale. New blue uniforms are now being issued and a defence policy is being developed. On The Triangle Run, by James B. Lamb.

With two other musicians, they've formed Southern Pacific, recently chosen best new country group by Bill board Magazine Alabama's commercial success blazed the trail for country bands early in the decade. Since then, such groups as Exile, Sawyer Brown, Restless Heart and now Southern Pacific have recorded country music They've forced Nashville music executives to rethink the long-held premise that solo vocalists are the van guard of the country sound Souther Pacific, an intri guing blend of former all-star rockers who've added a sur prising touch of country music to their playing, re cently released their second album, Killbilly Hill Since they started 1% years ago they've had four singles in the Top 20 of the country charts: Thing About You (featuring a guest vocal by Emmylou Harris), Perfect Stranger, Reno Bound and A Girl Like Emmylou. Hailed by critics as a po tential supergroup, the band acknowledges that Alabama paved the way. “The time was right,” said John McFee, who was with the Dobbies from 1978-82. “People liked the idea of a band and the camaraderie. Once they had a chance, they showed there was a market and that people liked their “i FREE DELIVERY FASHIONS HARMONY The band has fashioned a soaring, four-part harmony sound that's reminiscent of the Eagles, with McFee pro- viding most of the country licks by playing his fiddle, pedal steel guitar and dobro. “We play with a little more attack, an edge to country music,” McFee said. “We play on our records, an dmost others don't.” Said bass guitarist and vocalist Stu Cook, “it's hard to put excitement on record. Your sound has to take its place. We're trying to get the centre to move to us, not us to the centre. It wouldn't be good for us to sound like the others.” The band listened to more than 400 songs to get the right ones for Killbilly Hill. One of those selected was Bruce Springsteen's Pink Cadillac. Season's Greetings We re coming your way with thoughts of thanks to all our friends 7 DAYS A WEEK 365-6028 intertoinment Album a classic VANCOUVER (CP) Flutist Paul Horn finds it amusing that 20 years ago he was producing what now is being called “New Age” music. His innovative 1968 album Inside the Taj Mahal is often referred to as a classic. But it has only been in recent years, as members of the baby boom began grad uating from a diet of strict rock to a more balanced mu sical menu, that New Age material gained wider popu larity through recording la bels like Windham Hill. Its lyrical, loosely struc tured and contemplative na ture seems to strike a chord with people juggling careers, families and mortgages Horn, now 54 with a grey ing beard, longish hair and soft brown eyes, is pleased with the acceptance of New Age music. But he said it's not easy being on the leading edge of such work . “It's not always so good to be an innovator,” he said in an interview. “There isn't a market out there and you're blazing new trails and usually you're not going to get re warded financially for that It's a lot of work.” BOOSTS IMAGE In a career that spans three decades, Horn has had rewards, including more than two dozen albums, many his own group, a show on CTV in the 1970s, and exten sive concert touring. But the New Age wave provides a fresh boost “It's going to help my car eer again concerts are easier to get, your records sell more,” he said with the trace of an American drawl that betrays his New York origins He's been living in Vic toria since 1970 when he fell in love with the city at the end of a Canadian tour Horn's new album, Trave Ner, follows the New Age formula, blending different styles and even different periods, with one cut based on a 16th-century melody GETS SPIRITUAL The album, like much of Horn's work, also reflects the musician's spiritual side, his belief that there are greater powers at work than his own talents and that he is only an extension of his instrument “The music that I play really is coming through me and if I'm just sort of in nocent about it all and don't get involved with my ego then some pretty nice things happen.” He says nice things also happen to the cause of the relationship be listener be tween music and emotional well-being “Every tone and every sound is a vibration, and since we are vibrating as living organisms, there could be a relationship between certain tones and how they react on our nervous system. “In a general way we know that anyway because we put on music to suit our moods.” CAREER DIVERSE Mood and ambience have always been present in Horn's music.
