III I fr By TINA MARSH Staff Writer When Corning Glass Works officials in Bradford, began looking for the company's night watchman a week ago, they also found something else missing (220,000 worth of platinum.

The 11,000 grams about 24 pounds of the precious metal was discovered missing Sept. 15 when officials began reviewing videotapes from the McKean County plant's security cameras as part of the investigation into the missing security guard, according to Bradford-based state police criminal investigator Max Bizzak. The price of one ounce of platinum is approximately $594, according to recent trades on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The amount stolen 11,000 grams is equal to 385 ounces. Alone in the plant, the security guard was seen talking to a masked man on the videotapes from the early morning hours of Sept.

13, Bizzak said. In later tapes, the masked man was filmed entering the kiln where the platinum tubing was removed. The security guard, last seen by co-workers when he came to work Sept. 12, was identified as Dale E. Kerstetter, 50, of Lewis Run, Pa.

A long-time employee of the plant, Bizzak said Kerstetter is not a suspect in the theft. Officially, Pennsylvania state police are looking for Kerstetter as a missing person. The platinum is in the form of tubing, Bizzak said, noting the metal is used in CGW's glass-making process because of its purity. The policeman said he does not know how a thief would cash in on the platinum, but noted he talked to Ohio investigators who reported three platinum burglaries. The maintenance man, who also served as a weekend security guard, was last seen when he reported to work at 11 p.m.

Sept. 12. By the next day, Kerstetter had disappeared, leaving behind his keys to the plant, his car and his lunch box, Bizzak said. Bizzak said they videotapes have been sent to Washington, D.C., where he hopes the FBI can clarify the film for a better description of the masked man.

By TOM PAGE Staff Writer Imagine the movie "Gone With the Wind" with Clark Gable saying, "Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a darn." Ridiculous, right? That's what Hal Roach and others who worked in the film industry thought 50 years ago. But they liked the line and try as they might, they couldn't come up with a non-profane final word. "So we decided to go with the word Roach told some 50 students and adults at a seminar at Elmira College Friday afternoon.

He explained that the Hays Code of Ethics instituted for films in 1921 prohibited even the word "damn," although an exception could be requested. The code folks made an exception and the famous line went in, shocking moviegoers of those days. That's laughable today, except to the 95-year-old film pioneer who's back hi Elmira for the second annual Hal Roach Festival. "I never made a dirty picture," Roach said. "There was no nudity or profanity.

You don't have to put that in to have a good picture." When asked what he thought of the way the movie industry was going today, he said, "There's certain principles producers are forgetting today. You go to a picture and hear a guy say he hates that man and he says, 'you s.o.b.' I'd have to act out that I hated that man. "You use all four-letter words and you don't have to act. A girl uses a four-letter word today, it hurts acting ability." He said an audience always loves great acting, even if the man or woman isn't handsome or beautiful. Roach said moviemakers don't understand today that "you want someone you can like and someone you can hate." He told how he would have handled an opening scene in one movie where the leading man is near two boys walking along railroad tracks.

The boys put pennies on the rail so the train will run over them. Roach said he would have had the hero give one of the boys a penny to put on the track, and when the boy tried to return the crushed penny the hero would have said, "No, you keep the penny. "Now he's the nice guy and when he gets in trouble the audience is on his side." Richard Bann, an author and Roach's biographer, said that when Roach went into World War II an actor named Ronald Reagan spent the war years at Hal Roach Studios. As part of a project to photograph women in the war effort, a Norma Jean Baker caught some eyes. In doing pioneer television work later, Roach directed a commercial with this young woman, later known as Marilyn Monroe.
