JULIAN GROWER, who will present his color movies to the Decatur people Saturday, is pictured here in a boat which he used on the Colorado river, as will be shown in the slide series, presented at the Decatur Community Center at 8 p. m. Saturday to those who hold Travelogue series tickets.

Shows Travelogue Saturday Evening At 8 p.m. sharp Saturday, Ralph Habegger will introduce the Decatur travelogue audience to Julian Gromer, w'ho will present his color movies of ’’Thrills on the Colorado” at the Decatur community center. Action for the movie begins as 15 beautiful Huskies are harnesssd to a dog sled and take to the trail in the snow-covered mountains near Aspen, Col. The movie follows the Colorado river from its source in Rocky Mountain national park to Grand Lake. Visits will be made to dude ranched, rodeos, health meccas, and gem-like lakes. The rubber raft journey begins at Hite. Utah, and the group will be thrilled as it rides the churning rapids. Started in 19.38 • Gromer is one of the first of the present generation of film lecturers, having begun his career in 1938. To date he has produced 18 subjects, and he estimates that he has addressed 3,000 audiences — many of them scores of times. In addition to his lecture films, he has produced several films for industry and a number of mission films in this country, Africa. and Europe, _.He has not been too interested in television, although he has appeared a number of times on Detroit TV stations. Bought A Camera After completing his education Gromer entered the printing business, and thought that this would become his life work. But he purchased a camera — and soon decided that photography was more to his liking — so he entered the then infant travelogue field. He has always been interested in sports, and years ago he built a racing boat that won 37 trophes for him! But, when photo-

graphy became his hobby he gave up boat racing and devoted all of his time and talents to the production of commercial and travel and adventure films. Three cinema clubs have conferred honorary memberships on him. and two of his films won Grand Awards from the Photographic Society of America. He has won top honors on the inter-nationally-known "World Travel Series” four consecutive times, and he has always appeared high in the popularity ratings on all courses where he has appeared. In World War II During World War II he served as an official Signal Corps photographer, and for the duration. Mrs. Gromer lectured with his films. They are both very active in church work, and have held many offices in their church. Being a “pioneer” in the travelogue field, and a meticulous workman, Gromer has a number of "firsts” to his credit. He devised a method, and built the equipment, for taking lapse-time movies which show flowers growing 20,000 times faster than normal! These are nearly always featured in his films, and command a lot of admiration. He was one of the first to use hi-fi-delity music and location-recprd-ed sound effects jn all of his productions. .Years of experience, top quality films of interesting subjects, perfectly synchronized music, and excellent, witty narration, have all combined ia making Julian Gromer one of the most popular artists in the travelogue field.

Deliberations, East said, would begin at 12 noon EST Saturday in the federal courthouse. The court also stated the jurors would be expected to work on Sunday, with time out to attend religious services of their choice. Defendants are: Barry Worthington Keenan,. 23, accused “mastermind” of the kidnap plot; Joseph Cyde Amsler, also 23, a onetime boxer and commercial diver, and John William Irwin, 42, a self-employed house painter. . There are six ounts in the federal grand jury indictment under which the three defendants were brought to trial.

Both Frank Jr., and his celebrated father, Frank Sr.„ testified as government witnesses and denied any publicity angle. Keenan did not choose to testify and his attorney, Charles L. Crouch Jr., called no witnesses.
