festival we understand that there is some possibility of the festi val eventually being dropped that would be a pity and it is to be hoped it does not happen apparently a small directorate is struggling to keep the festival going and if any of these left the iob and no replacements showed up it would be impossible for the directors to handle all the multi tude of work which a festival entails we know that there must be several who would help in future and we hope that they will offer their services in whatever capacity possible locally georgetown and glen williams have active home movies make a comeback g ving n ovies a boost the toro ito telegram recently editorialized on tie moves pointing out that televison instead of putt ng moves out of bus ess as first predicted has in fact provided a heal hy boost to the industry time was when people attended the mov es for a night out ard the picture was of secondary impor tance and time was when moviemakers knowing this public habit made lots of grade b and c and d features and not so many which appealed in them selves to discriminating moviegoers as television became more popular the quality of movies increased accordingly and today we find a constant process on of top moves n healthy coi school associations and it might be a proect which they could undertake appointing men and women to attend the annual meeting offer a bit of their time and advice and keep the yearly county festival going county growth has created three separate group ings and with continued population increase it is sensible to continue this way
