Former Salt Laker John God-dard, God-dard, one of three men who made the 4200-mile trip down the Nile river, entirely by water, is being brought here to narrate the film film through the efforts of two Sugar House impressarios, Donald Don-ald B.

Six times the group faced dangerous danger-ous cataracts and rapids in addition addi-tion to the ever-present dangers of crocodiles and wild animals. Early in the trip the kayak containing con-taining most of the equipment overturned, leaving the trio with only a .22 rifle with a bent sight to protect them from jungle and river animals. Parts for a new-kayak new-kayak had to be flown to Africa from Paris, where the first three boats had been constructed. Biography of young Goddard, who is the youngest member ever to belong to the Los Angeles Ex-i Ex-i j plorers club, read much like a 1 1 Halliburton story. JOHN GODDARD, American explorer, is shown with two newly captured Rhions which are the most dangerous and fearless beasts in the world. While Goddard was in Egypt and Africa to shoot his all color motion adventure film, "KAYAKS DOWN THE NILE," he won a five pound wager from an Englishman who bet him he couldn't could-n't get the two Rhinos together then stand between them. Goddard's first adventure came unexpectedly while he was diving for lobsters in the Pacific. Attacked by a shark, the young man had to fight for his life armed with only a knife. John Goddard helped hs father discover a buried city in Centra! America. He explored the escape tunnel of Emperor Tiberius on the Isle of Capri; Okefenokee Swamp and Lower Everglades. Twenty-six-year-old Goddard has climbed Mt. Popocatpetl, the Matterhorn. He scaled Mt. Vesuvius and explored the interior of its crater. The renowned Stanley and Liv ingstone ambition to be the first men m recorded history to accomplish ac-complish a water voyage down the 4200 miles of the Nile from source to mouth was unfulfilled. Goddard God-dard and his two French companions, com-panions, Jean LaPorte and Andrew Davy now hold that distinction. Repository In London, doctors relieved a patient's persistent pains after removing re-moving from his stomach: a razor blade, a piece of porcelain, a steel file, a lady's hair clip, a double-six domino, a key, a knife handle, a pin, a pen, two stones, two nails, two broken knife blades, three matches and four pennies. |
