Turners of Springville, judging from the number of honors and awards garnered thusfar. The most recent honor came this w-eek with announcement from the Ama- ; teur Cinema League that the movie. "Caineville" filmed in southeast south-east Utah, had been selected as one of the ten best amateur films ! of 1953. This is the fourth time in five years that Mr. Turner's movies have placed among the ten best films in the nation. Two different times, his work has been judged first to receive the Hiram Percy Maxim award. A documentary film covering the history of Caineville, Mr. Turner's most recent movie tells the story of a town settled because of the . fine water supply and this same water eventually took the town away. It runs approximately 15 minutes min-utes and in it is heard the actual voices of some of the old timers of the little settlement. Also taking part are two Springville felows, Rell Francis and Mark Larsen and Mr. Turner's son Douglas. Dr. Leon Dallin of the BYU wrote the musical score for the movie as he has done for three previous Turner movies, and Harriet Har-riet Hamblin, music student at the "Y", plays organ music. The film is now in New York, where it will be duplicated and distributed to amateur clubs throughout the United States. Shows Films in Calif.
