Tracks on the Oregon Trail
In the 1840s covered wagons carried 30,000 Americans west to find a ' Better Life'. They found it in Oregon, in the beautiful and fertile valleys of the Pacific north west. They learnt to care for their new paradise and passed on that concern to sons and grandsons.
In the 1970s new trails were blazed in Oregon; legislation has made it the most environmentally protected spot in the western world. Modern Oregon was first to clean up its polluted rivers; first to introduce a 55mph speed limit; first to require refunds not only on bottles, but on cans too; first to ban the rip-off can cap; first to give fare-free rides on city buses; first to ban poisonous herbicides. Horizon visits the state that's become the symbol for a new America. Could it be a blue-print for the rest of us? Or will the pioneers' paradise give way to the pressures of the 1980s?

Narrated by Fritz Spiegl
While competitors are limbering up for this month's viola competition on the Isle of Man, we take a nostalgic look back at the extraordinary event that marked the island's first venture into the music competition field - the 1978 International Double-Bass Competition and Workshops: Featuring the breathtaking virtuosity of Gary Karr , the film shows what happened to the little holiday resort of Port Erin when 200 bass players dropped in. With RODNEY SLATFORD , JOHN BETHELL , NASH ENSEMBLE, WURZ-BURG DOUBLE-BASS ENSEMBLE, and SCOTTISH CHAMBER ORCHESTRA, conducted by KENNETH MONTGOMERY
It was left to the special crankiness of the English to restore some semblance of originality and gaiety.... a gem
