(From the Stratford
Be'acon-Herald. A former
Brussels boy, Gordon is the son of
Kitty and Hartley Rutledge of
of Brussels).
Need a Challenge?
What do you do if you like
games but can't find any that
offer enough challenge?
One local man has solved the
problem by inventing his own.
Gordon Rutledge, 26, of R.R.5,
Stratford, has devised three word
games arid three board games
over the last six months. A
shipper-receiver at ' Erie and
Huron Beverages, he was born in
Brussels, Ontario and has lived in
Stratford for the past eight years.
"I used to play a lot of,
Scrabble, but now I prefer my
own word games because I've
taken out the element of chance.
My own are strictly games of
skill," he says.
His three word games are
called Word Doubles,
Symmetricals and Make-A-Word
He'd li ke to have them
syndicated in daily neWspapers
the way crossword puzzles are.
Mr. Rutledge likes playing
chess and duplicate bridge but
thinks most games on the market
ane far too elementary.
"My own board games are,
fairly simple, too," he says; "bu.
I think they'd appeal to a lot of
people. The names I've dreamed
up for them are Intrigue, Specu-
lation and Goldrush '76."
Eventually, he'd like to
approach a game company with
his games but he's a little afraid
they might just take his ideas and
tell him to "buzz off" while they
reap the profits.
Besides making up games,
Mr. Rutledge also dabbles at
cartooning.
"I've done a few political
cartoons," he say's, "but I prefer
doing birds and animals. The
drawing is easy. The hard party is
finding captions."
He's never tried to sell hi
cartoons but every morning, th
women in,. the plant office fin
cheery samples of his work 0
their desks.,
With his creative interests,
seems a little odd that M
Rutledge has worked so long as
manual laborer.
"My problem is I don't know
what I'd really .like to dO,'',11
- explains. I went to Canada
Manpower and they gave fine L
interest-inventory and intell
genre tests.
"The result indicated I shoul
go into social work. The trotib
is, to do that, I'd need a master,
degree. I've completed two yea
towards a B.A. but I just can
afford to stop working and g
back to school. After all, I have
wife and son to think of. Even if
had the necessary peice of pape
I'd have no guarantee of finding
job."
