Larger unit sales of trailers, truck campers and motor coaches, he explains, make the concentrated New England market attractive.

Manufacturers and dealers flock to the big Prudential Center show like bear cubs to a honey tree. While it's true that tent sales hit an all-time high in 1966. wheeled rigs, it appears, are selling like marked-down dollar bills. In short, the SlOOO-and-up trailer is shoving the $100 tent into the background, at least on the basis of dollar volume. Out of fairness to tent campers, Williams huddled with Manny and Henry Sherman, operators of the N.E.

Sportsmen's Show. Together, they've convinced dealers to bring a greater-than-ever array of "roughing it" camping gear to the 1967 show. Br BILL RIVIERE Glob Campint Editor Campers who like to rough it will get special attention at the N. E. Campers' Show which opens Jan.

BILL RIVIERE "There'll still be more than an acre of the latest trailers and campers," Williams says, "but we'll have tents, sleeping bags, camp stoves, lanterns, cook kits, camp kitchens and gadgets Campers like to buy interesting gadgets at shows," All Skiers Will Find Mount Loon a Boon JjeisureTime 1 f. '-Si c-" Tutor Learned Karate as Cl fit feiii IM I fcvT Vi llus I fev2 By MIKE BEATRICE Outdoors Editor LINCOLN, N.H. Loon Mountain, newest of the big ski developments to cpen in the Rte.

93 region of the White Mountain National Forest, looks as if it were designed for the vast multitude of nonexpert skiers. "It makes the good skier look great; the great skier look better," says ski school director and assistant manager Jon Putnam. Located along the famed Kancamagus Highway, one of the most scenic in the East, and being plowed for the first time this season, Loon is the personal project of Sherman Adams, presidential aide in the Eisenhower administration. While Adams weathered some stormy days in the nation's Capitol, now at age 67 he's found on skis at the mountain practically every day. Loon's lift facilities include a 7000-foot-four-passenger gondola, longest aerial lift in New Hampshire, a 3200-foot double chair and an 1100-foot double chair.

These serve 12 trails and slopes, only one of which is labeled expert, or to use the new term most difficult. The gondola covers 1744 vertical feet from base to summit. It's a smooth, 11-rninute ride. A summit building, octagonal in shape as are the area's base buildings, provides a warm-up and snack facility. From the summit accomplished skiers may make their bid down the Flying Fox, a trail that appears close to being a schuss down the side of the mountain.

But an alternate descent, down the Bear Claw, offers the advanced novice a two-mile winding run to the bottom. This is Loon's longest trail and practically everyone can ski it. The third option is the Picked Rock, classified intermediate or "more difficult." The 3200-foot chair lift services several novice and intermediate runs. The novice descents are marked with green colored, square-shaped symbols that indicate "easier." The intermediates are indicated by gold triangles for "more difficult." The expert Flying Fox is identified as "most difficult" by a blue circle. These are the new safety symbols adopted by the industry a year ago.

The mountain was laid out by Sel Hannah's Sno-Engineering organization. Well done is Loon's beginner and ski school slopes. Early Run. a slope designed especially for the ski school, is serviced by the 1100-foot chair. The run has a Double turn 60 feet wide with a 15-percent grade.

Between the gentle curves of this slope are steeper places for learning and practicing advanced technique. Eager Beaver slope is not serviced by a lift and is designed for newcomers on skis for the first or second time. It's off by itself and has a climbing ramp to separate ascending and descending skiers. Putnam, who for eight years taught at Paul and Paula Valar's schools at Cannon and MittersilL directed the ski school at Mt. Ascutney, Windsor, last season, where he pioneered the video tape aid to instruction.

Now in use at Loon, the videotape allows skiers to see themselves on skis shortly after having taken a lesson. Weaknesses are clearly illustrated and the skier sees quickly what he's been doing wrong. Less than 2V2 hours driving time from Boston, Loon is among the easiest reached of the upcountry big mountains thanks to the extension of Interstate 93. From the end of 93 at Plymouth, the motorist continues on Rte. 3 to Lincoln.

The mountain is 2Vi miles off Rte. 3. A part of the new Ski 93 Loon shares in a five-day interchangeable ticket program with Cannon, MittersilL Water-ville Valley and Tenny Mountain. Loon also has adopted controlled ticket sales which means there's a limit on the number of tickets sold each day. The idea is to eliminate long lift lines.

By ROGER BIRTWELL Late one night in the Winter of 1964. a man medium height, rathpr slim, unobtrusive in appearance waj walking with his wife along Massachusetts av.

by Symphony Hall. Suddenly, out of the shadows of Symphony Hall, a stranger leaped at the wife. In a flickering instant, the attacker found himself standing on his feet in the gutter. He gaped in amazement then turned AND FLED. Another midnight molester had picked the wrong victim.

The man who so dramatically defended his wife recently recalled the incident. "It was instinctive. I hardly knew I did it. I simply leaped like this" he leaped toward rre on the floor of his office "and gave him a double palm-heel thrust." "Where," I asked, "did you learn it?" His answer took him brick to a winding, narrow, rutted road men pushing handcarts, little women with big bundles on their heads in the village of Futenma on the island of Okinawa. George Mattson, a farmer's boy from the wheatlandi of Hastings, and Scott, a Massachusetts manufacturer's son, were members of the Third Army Security Agency.

Mattson was staff sergeant, Scott a corporal, and a friend in the same outfit Andy Anderson was taking them to witness a native teacher give a lesson in karate. In a thatched hut on stilts the stilts for protection against rats, spiders and poisonous serpents, as well as the monsoon's rivers of mud the three Americans watched Tomoyse Sensei the second word means "leacher" giv karate instruction to a couple of Okin-awans. Mattson, after a year more in the Army, has been teaching karate ever since. "Karate." explained Mattson at his Academy of Karate at 303 Columbus "is a Japanese word meaning 'empty hands' or 'without There are several styles of karate. The style Mattson and Scott, who still is with him espouse and teac Mattson explains, "is the Uechi style, which stresses boih handwork and legwork." There are a lot of calisthenics.

A user of karate becomes flat-stomached and quick. He or she will leap at you, kick you in the jaw, and flick the foot back before you can grab it. Says Malison: "In in jitsu. you learn to break a grip en your throat. In karate, you react so quickly an opponent can't grab your throat." I'm no expert.

I hope jiu-jitsers agree. Mattson explains that karate had its origins in India about 30 centuries before Christ. Later, around 500 A.D. Bohi Dharma whose name usually is used as one word to avoid confusion with Ping Bodie. a center fielder introduced it in Southern China.

"In China," says Mattson, "monks had to learn karate. There was vicious enmity among various religions Buddhists. Taoists, Confucianists, and so on and the monks had to learn to protect themselves or perish. "Their religion didn't permit use of weapons. So tha monks learned under whatever name it then had the science of karate." He admits that, in those rather strenuous days, a few manks got killed learning it.

Graduation exercises sometimes were rough. Skirpin? to our own time and our own city, interest in karate rose considerably during the period when tha Boston stranp'cr was terrorizing this area. In addition to personal defense, it is used as a means cf conditioning. An East Boston attorney, Joseph Malgeri relates that, using Mattson's karate lessons as a means of losir. i weight, he has dropped 42 pounds getting down to 177 in the past six months.

Lawyers, businessmen, teachers, students folks from many walks of life and many age groups study karate. During our visit to the Mattson Academy, a Brockton schoolmarm, Miss Jewel Watson, was taking lessons.
