THAT'S SHOWBIZ: Last
month’s taping of the Tom
Jones TV shows by Catalena
Productions at West Van's
Panorama Studios may turn
out to be a goldmine. of
sensational proportions for .
their worldwide | ‘distributor
EPI Ltd. ~ thanks to the
US. writers ‘and directors
guilds. The former has
announced a strike and the
latter is expected to follow
suit when its contract expires
June 30, The two groups are —
protesting the use of writers’
material and directors’ skills
on the pay-TV and home
video markets.

The stoppages could be
much more serious for the
TV industry than the actors’
strike last year, All the
actors had to do when they
returned was learn their
lines. But the pre-production
stages of a show, involving
writers and directors, take
three to four months. So if
the worst happens, there
might be virtually no new
Hollywood shows at all to
open the 1981-82 season,
come September, And that
means, of course, that the:
Tom Jones series -~- made
right here on the slopes of
Hollyburn ~~ has an excellent
chance of being snapped up
at a premium price by

Hoat families in North Van
are needed for 300 Mexican
and Japanese students
visiting here for three to six
weks in July and August,
reports Pat Heany, North
Shore coordinator for the
cultural exchange program.
Plenty of outside activities
are organized for them by

with a local family is a very

important part of the visit. If
