SPORTSMAN GUEST
AT FORUM SUNDAY
Victor COty to Offer Illus
trated Lecture at Con-
gregationaf Church

Victor Coty, sportsman. natural
list, explorer, and photographer, will
be the speaker at the Forum at the
Second Congregational Church Sun
day evening, March I, at 1880 p. m.
His illustrated lecture, Figure
Skating which he will present at
the Forum was five years In the
making and Is the only compre-
hcnsive Figure Skating program
ever produced.
1t Is full Of beauty, grace, rhythm
and speed and all the international
stars Of the past five years are
featured, including Sonia Henie,
Roy Shipstad, Vivi-Anne Hutton,
Evelyn Chandler, Audrey Peppe and
Prick and Track, the famous comic
pair, as well as many groups and
ballots. Slow motion, whereve.' help
full, bring out miracles Of dexterity,
strength and grace.
Victor Coty has ranged far and
wide over America since graduation
from Princeton University in 1926
He Is recognized as our foremost
natural color photographer Of the
outdoors. His unique lectures. full
OF the Joy and beauty of outdoor
life, are illustrated with color motion
pictures which have been likened TO
a succession Of exquisite oil paint
ings, and described as a beauty
bath" Victor Coty lies awake
nights wondering what he can do
to make his shows better. Having
developed the art Of making natural
color movies to the point Of perfec-
ton. having made pictures OF prac-
tically all the high spots In the
world outdoors, he was about at a
standstill.
Then a new idea came to him.
Add music. From the Amplificr
Company of America he ordered a
specially built double turntable rec
ord player. 1t Is amazing how a
Waldteufel waltz or Il bit OF Strauss,
puts new zip, new life into skating
and skiing pictures. Victor Coty
brings 10 the sportsman and to the
city dweller lectures that re-charge
urban man with q zest that only
the Great Outdoors can instill.

production of guns. bullets, tanks
and all the other items which 20
up to make up the equipment Of
an army.
The method Of achieving the in
creased production is that OF using
factories and plants for purposes
which were not dreamed of when
they were originally built and
fooled, and, using sub-contractorS
and even sub sub-contractors.
Take the standard shell fuse, for
instance. 1t has AZ parts to 1t. This
small assembly Is made in this city
with the assistance of q sub-con-
tractors, according to Lieutenant
Colonel d. N. Houseman, chief Of
ficer Of this ordnance district.
In the case Of the burial vault
manufacturer, his plant had the
fundamental heavy cranes, Welding
units and large space necessary tor
the work on the tanks. The tank
parts are welded in the plant and
in this case, no re-tooling or
change in the physical setup Of the
concern was necessary for the new
work.
The case of the vault manufac-
turer, bathtub plant and mouse
trap factory have been repeated
many times over In a wide variety
of fields.
A baking machine company pro-
duces trench mortarS and shells,
while an automobile frame COM
pany Is making gun mounts. An
ice machine firm Is manufacturing
machine tools. and a safe and lock
factory Is making shells.
GARAGE LATHE
MAKES TANK PART
Sub-contracting in itself is vast
and complicated arrangement.
There is a large manufacturer here
who uses oil principal sub-con-
tractors, and they In turn are as
sisted by 1856 sub-sub contractors.
In addition to these men there are
those who sell the raw materials.
How minute the sub-sub-con-
tracing can become can be gagged
from n sub-Srb contractor IN an
maintenance garage;
there the lathe vt the garage is
used to turn out a small rod that
props open the door OF pistol
portfolio IN tank.
Naturally, the business Of chang
Ing peace-time plants into fac
tories producing wartime materials
is not anywhere near completion.
Keeping in mind this method OF
improvisation, out Of 1000 plants
surveyed In this district, Colonel
Houseman estimates that about $50
can be used to participate In The
arms program.

Any such fear has been hand
