SIMPER. - ° r•• Program e e / nobler( la change GOD RICH ' Film festival, to bec�rneonr, It was nostalgia day in Wing - ham Saturday when collectors of all types and old movie buffs at- tended a special gathering at the town hall. Nelson Frank and John Shedler of Wingham arranged the Wing - ham Film and Nostalgia Festi- val, which included a continual screening of old movies upstairs and a number of collectors and their wares downstairs in the dealers' room. John Roy and Fred Cook travelled from Ridgetown and the state of Ohio respectively to show their collection of old maga- zines and books. They met six years ago at a convention of col- lectors and have remained good friends ever since. Each has a particular interest. Mr. Roy collects Edgar Rice Bur- roughs' books, especially "Tar- zan" and the ones on Mars. In fact, Mr. Roy has written his own book, a reference to the 11 books by Burroughs on Mars. He has drawn maps of Mars and located all the fictional places Burroughs talks about in his books. He has 200 hard cover books of Burroughs' and over 100 paper backs. He started collecting seriously in 1944 but read Bur- roughs extensively when he was a child. Mr. Roy was. with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for 34 years and since retirement has gone into his hobby and first love full-time now. Mr. Roy has alae drawn of Africa withall the fiet1!,t,11� places Tarzan visited and New York publishers, Ballantine Books, used the map bo make a poster size one to sell. The two friends explain that many of the books written in the 1930's had hereon. People didn't want to hear about hard Wiles and lack of food then, Mr.C,00k says. , People were also very particu- lar about what went into books. Tarzan was under heavy critk cixm because he wasn't married to Jane but Burroughs solved that by having them married in one book. Not many people know of. this marriage, the men say; there was little mention of it and the ceremony does not take very long in the space of the book's pages. Yet, in other ways, the pub- lishers of the times were daring in their methods. Mr. Cook re., publishes books for collectors, including those by Robert Howard called "Weird Tale'". These Magazines were not sell- ing well and publishers changed the covers to attract more atten- tion. A woman was hired to draw nude and half nude ladies on the covers of these ghost stories. Many that are found today have the front covers ripped off and, Mr. Cook explains, they were sold, "under the counter".

ILLUSTRATIONS BY DICK GIBSON CLIP AND SAVE 10 day vent lector's life takes very interest - Ing turns acid one for Mr. Cook was when he met the woman who thew these daring front covers. She had used her daughters as models. He also had the privilege of meeting Walter B. Gibson, who wrote "The Shadow" series of stories. He wrote 284 full length stories with the one character. Mr. Cook says the .author is a fascinating man who travelled with Houdini. Mr. Gibson, who is now 80 years old, holds seances hoping to get in touch with Ioudini. The great magician hacl said he would be in touch with Someone if there was a way. Mr. Gibson has not, to this date, been successful. The "Weird Tales" original magazines were 25 cents in the 1930's. They now level, for $40,. At a more local level, Wingham resident Dick Eskerod set up table with his beer bottle, opener and ashtray collection. He also collects pens. lighters. coasters, trays and anything else that has ,a brewery label on it. He has over 100 'bottles and cans; the oldest being a bottle with the label embossed in the glass. It was made by Reinhardt Co. who have not been in business for years. Mr. Eskerod says, the bottle is probably 50 years old at least. It is the only Canadian bottle with an embossed label, Mr. Eskerod says. Another old bottle he owns was made at a Formosa brewery which was closed and moved to Barrie eight years ago. It is now owned by the Molson's Company. Mr. Eskerod's interest started in university, when he had to clean up after a party. Several of the beer bottles and cans in- terested him and he kept them. He gets many of his bottles in this area, from people he knows, and he also goes to the odd sale. Mr. Frank showed silent clas- sics downstairs, including Chap- lin, Keaton and Laurel and Hardy. Some of the feature movies upstairs -included; "Mystery of the Hooded Horse- men", made m 1936 with Tex Rit- ter; "The Big Show", with Gene. Autrey; "The Stranger", made in 1946 with Orson Welles; "Rocket • - ship", a .feature version of Flash Gordon starring Buster Crabbe and many others. •The screening went until mid- night, withserial chapters froin the 1940's ending the film festival. The admission price for the day, including the films and the dealers' room, was $5. Although there was a relatively poor attendance, Mr. Frank com- mented that everyone who came was very enthusiastic. He says they plan to make the Wingham Film and Nostalgia Festival an annual event, Festival. Bowling WROXETER MIXED Reita Dan Enden and Ron Mc- Michael took the high single honors at last week's session, with 243 and 250 • respectively.

BELL OPTOMETRIST GODERICH The Square 524-7661 CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE PLAYERS' ASSOCIATION GAME PIAR IcICOPYRIGHT 1977 SUN SYNDICATE QUARTERBACKING by Ron Lancaster SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS FOOTWORK — AFTER RECEIVING SNAP — FOR A HANDOFF. 1. Two Types of Escapes! From Center For Han- doff. ( a Open Step --The Quarterback makes his first step to the side where the play is being run with the foot on that side. The opposite foot pushes to get maximum speed to reach the position for the handoff. Example sl — On dive play where Left Half- back is hitting very quickly into line on left side. First step is a short jab step with left foot and then a cross- over with right foot for hand-off. Example #2—On slant play where Fullback is hitting to left off - tackle hole between left tackle and left end. 2. Handing the Ball to Backs. (a) The Quarterback is responsible for placing the ball on the belt buckle. If a ' fumble occurs on an ex- change, IT IS THE QUARTERBACK'S MISTAKE, (b) Keep ball close to stomach and hold with two hands until just before handoff. (c) With two hands on the ball, reach towards the Back with eye on target area (belt buckle). (d) As Back moves by — remove inside hand and slide the ball into pocket made by the Back. (e) The Quarterback bends at KNEES not the waist (danger of hittipg the receiving Back with shoulder). L• (d) ILLUSTRATIONS by DICK GIBSON CLIP AND SAVE m. _-mL'S"SaaAO .... Vn0N.
