AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 5-12-2026

[sighs] >> Hello everybody. I'm Skip Elshiemer. I'm back in Raleigh and we watch old 16 mm films on the AV Geeks Lunchtime Stream. And we do that in spite of YouTube throwing hurdles at us all the time. So today it just wasn't working right. So Here we go. Let's learn about Turkey. Enjoy. >> [music] [music] [music] >> The Middle East, romantic, colorful, but ever since the beginning of history, one of the Earth's most turbulent spots. But astride this uneasy crossroads of the ages, one nation stands firmly, determined to make its full contribution to a free and democratic [music] world. That nation is Turkey. August 30th, Turkish Independence Day, a day all the people mark well on their calendars. A day of parades throughout the nation. A day when a whole country rededicates itself to self-respecting friendship with all other nations of the earth. In the heartland of Turkey stands its new, ever-expanding capital city, Ankara. A generation ago, only a dot on the map, a tiny crossroads on the caravan route to Mid-Asia. Then, a man with a burning cause called a free parliament there. A revolution was won. That man was Kemal Atatürk, the father of the Republic. On a hill above the city stands the great mausoleum [music] the people built in his memory. With reverence and gratitude, they visit the magnificent shrine to pay homage to the leader who gave them a new way of life. A long, tree-shaded walk is an avenue of meditation as you approach the tomb itself. Completed in 1953, [music] this tremendous building honors not only the memory of Atatürk, but it stands as a symbol of Turkish progress through the ages. For centuries, the crossroads of the world by land and sea, today's Turkey is an equally important aerial intersection. Istanbul's International Airport is an entering point for modern pilgrims of commerce and pleasure travel from all over the globe. Istanbul, city of many conquests and many names. Byzantium, Constantinople, Stamboul. Its Galata Bridge still spans the Golden Horn where the galleys of the whole medieval world once rode at anchor. Today, where conquerors thundered and the city walls fell before their sieges, a proud people walk in peace. The corner policeman on Independence Avenue keeps traffic briskly on the move. Just like his uniform brothers in Denver, Davenport, or Dubuque. Taksim Square, what Piccadilly Circus is to London or Times Square to New York, with its own great Atatürk Memorial. The ancient mosques of Istanbul, >> [music] >> with their domes and minarets, masterpieces in marble of Turkish religious architecture. In their shadow, the sherbet vendor sells his wares to coeds of Istanbul University. Coeds who look exactly like the ones at any university in the Western world. Istanbul, where east and west meet every day. Beyond the cities lie the unchanging plains and hills, where countless herds of long-haired goats graze and produce the only Angora wool in the world. You may be wearing some now in your sweater or dress. Only you call it Angora. Turkish wool, twisted into yarn and dyed with all the colors of the rainbow, goes into the weaving of Turkey. Which is more beautiful, the rugs or the weavers? It matters not. Beauty creates beauty, say the Turks. This thousand-mile-long backbone of Turkish mountains produces more than wool. This is one of the world's richest areas in mineral deposits. Some of its mines, like this copper load at Maden, have been producing steadily for more than 1,500 years. Chrome, oil. These are a few more of the mineral riches from Turkish earth. Turkish cement, manufactured from Turkish limestone, goes into the building of Turkish roads. And young men whose fathers rode on donkey back handle multi-powered cats and graders with consummate ease and skill. Crisscrossing the landscape of the nation with a speedy network of new highways, tunnels, and dams. This is the Sariyar Dam, typical of the huge construction projects that are beginning to harness every river in the country. Four years in planning and building, it is already supplying water and hydroelectric power to a region as big as Nebraska. The water flows steadily into the good Turkish soil. Crops flourish and increase. Rice, grapes that make raisins and wine, cotton, now becoming a major crop, sugar beets. These are only a few of them. Modern farming techniques [music] are taught on model farms in every province. Here on the Golden Valley farm near Konya, in the heart of the wheat belt, young Turks study the newest methods of mechanized farming so that they can turn the country into one of the world's biggest breadbaskets. Countless products of Turkey's mushrooming export trade pour into the holds of waiting merchant ships that carry the rich cargoes overseas. >> A short flight [music] to the southwest from Istanbul lies Izmir, once known as Smyrna. Once a year, most of Turkey and much of the world comes here for the 30 days beginning August 20th for the annual international fair. A magnetic attraction to farmers, businessmen, industrialists, and tourists. >> [music] >> Flags of all nations decorate the entrance to the midway with its permanent pavilions, parks, fountains, and pools. And everywhere you see tangible evidence of Turkish progress and change. Like this gayly painted farmers cart. To the Turks themselves, it's only another picturesque antique. At Izmir, farmers talk of diesel fuel instead of oats these days. And symbolic to a Turkey, crossroads of the ages, are these dance teams from every corner OF THE NATION. THEIR MUSIC AND COSTUMES SING OF the ancient folkways, rich in color and cultural tradition. But their strong bodies, eager faces, and nimble feet dramatize in the dance the story of a new and vital nation, the Republic of Turkey. >> [music] >> Well, that was abrupt. Okay. Um >> [clears throat] >> glaciers glaciers glaciers Enjoy. >> [music] [music] >> My home state of Alaska is sometimes called a paradise of glaciers. Huge masses of solid ice. They fascinated me ever since I was [music] a small boy. I guess that's why I became a glacier scientist. In other words, a glaciologist. I make my living studying glaciers, how they form, how they move, and how they affect the land and [music] the oceans. That's an important part of understanding our Earth. As a boy growing up in Alaska, the first glaciers I saw were the type called valley glaciers, one of two types. They're formed high up in the tallest mountains of the world. We have several valley glaciers in the mountains along the coast of Alaska. And valley glaciers are especially common in the Alps in Europe. This is where scientists first started to study glaciers, and that may be why this type is also called an alpine glacier. They're big, sometimes several hundred meters thick, a couple of kilometers wide, and several kilometers long. >> [music] >> I've studied these rivers of ice in several [music] parts of the world. They're also found in In high mountains of western Canada and the western United States and in the Andes mountains of South America. So you can visit an Alpine glacier without traveling to Europe. For example, there's Deming Glacier on Mount Baker in Washington state. It's a typical Alpine [music] or valley glacier, a huge river of ice formed in the valley of a high mountain and moving slowly down through the valley. [music] You may have guessed that glaciers can form in high mountains because of the [music] very cold temperatures here. It starts when a heavy winter snowfall builds up on the peaks and on the mountain sides. Summer is short and cool and not all of the snow can [music] melt. Next winter, more snow covering what's left from the winter before and packing it down into ice. Some of the new snow melts in the summer but each year more is left and packed down to become [music] ice. Eventually, the layer of ice becomes so heavy that its own weight begins [music] to push it down through the valley. The movement you're seeing here actually takes much longer in a real glacier. >> [music] >> The glacier rarely moves more than 2 m a day and often only a few centimeters a day. >> [music] >> As it moves over uneven ground, the ice may bend and crack. >> [music] >> The cracks are called crevasses and they may be more than 60 m deep. They're interesting to explore, >> [music] >> but dangerous. In warm weather, some of the ice on the glacier surface may melt and flow into a crevasse, forming a stream of water under the glacier. This meltwater can carve a cave in the ice. So, a glacier is constantly changing as it moves slowly down a valley. But, we know that a glacier will also cause some changes in the valley and the mountains themselves. [music] Even where a valley glacier has melted away, we can tell where it's been. Sometimes a mountain is carved by several valley glaciers into a rugged peak called a horn. This is the Matterhorn in Switzerland, probably the most famous mountain of its kind. You've probably heard of the fjords of Norway. A fjord is formed when a glacier moves all the way to the ocean and carves a valley into the shallow seabed. >> [music] >> I've seen fjords like this in several parts of the world. The glacier that carved [music] this fjord in Norway melted away long ago, but in the northernmost part of Alaska, some valley glaciers still flow down to the sea. And huge pieces [music] may break off to form icebergs. Of course, most of the world's icebergs come from Greenland, but we do have some off northern Alaska. [music] Most of an iceberg, about 5/6, floats underwater. So, icebergs are much larger than they look and dangerous to ships. The reason they float so low in the water is that glacial ice is much harder and heavier than ordinary ice. I remember the iceman I used to see when I was a boy in Alaska. They collected floating ice and sold it for use in homes and businesses. It was like regular ice, but better in one way. It melted much more slowly. But the largest icebergs don't come from valley glaciers. [music] They come from a second and more extensive type of glacier called a polar ice cap. There's one covering nearly all the land surrounding the South Pole. The continent of Antarctica. And in the north, ice caps cover Greenland and parts of several smaller islands. In some places, the solid ice goes down more than 3 km. Those rock formations are actually the tips of mountains in Greenland. A couple of years ago, I spent a few months near the South Pole at a scientific station in Antarctica. Quite an experience, >> [music] >> but not exactly comfortable. I'm glad there are other ways to learn about the ice cap. Here in Alaska, for example, we found evidence that the glacial ice once covered [music] much more land than it does today. These stones were rounded and polished by the action of the polar ice sheet. In central Canada, more evidence. Rock surfaces left behind when the ice sheet passed through like a bulldozer, carrying away most of the topsoil. Further south, the deep fertile soil of the corn belt developed from silt deposited mainly by meandering rivers that formed as the ice sheet melted. And the gravel hills in New England are another kind of deposit left by the ice sheet. The hills are made up of pebbles and coarse soil called glacial drift. Another type [music] of hill here called a drumlin formed when glacial drift piled up on a knob of rock or clay. When the glacier moved on, it rounded the hill into an almond shape. Lake Michigan and the other Great Lakes formed as glaciers gouged out river valleys and filled them with glacial meltwater. And smaller lakes formed in basins scooped out by the ice sheet. >> [music] >> Putting together all the clues from several parts of North America, we can get a good idea of what must have happened. More than 2 million years ago, as the climate turned colder, several glaciers were formed. The glaciers grew and joined, spreading southward [music] and covering about half of North America. Then, after many thousands of years, a warmer [music] climate began to melt the ice cap. This pattern was repeated at least four times. The ice cap has slowly been shrinking over the last few thousand years. And the valley glaciers have been shrinking, too. Sizing up the evidence, it looks like we're in a period between ice ages. But we have good reason to expect that the glaciers may start to grow again, and a new ice age might begin. Some think ice ages are triggered by unusually heavy snowfall over a period of time. Others say it has to do with periodic changes in the Earth's orbit. We're looking for more information to help us predict when a new ice age may begin and what effects it will have. That's one reason why knowing about glaciers is an important part of understanding our Earth. >> [music] [music] [music] >> It is unlikely I will see another ice age. Um I I don't think I want to live that long, to be honest. I'd like it I think it'll be take a long time. Um although I do like the cold. Do like the cold. All right. So, this is um >> [clears throat] >> from Canada. And this is uh we scan these on behalf of a collector we're working with. And uh this is fascinating. It's a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Training Film about arrests. And I just compare it to the films that I have that were made for American police officers. It's very different vibe. Here we go. Enjoy. >> [music] [music] >> A peace officer's duty, your duty, is to safeguard and to maintain the public peace. You have a limited extension of powers beyond that of the average citizen and a serious obligation to know and to understand your authority and limitations. One of the strongest measures a peace officer may employ in the discharge of his duty is the power of arrest. When making an arrest, the peace officer must realize that he is depriving a fellow citizen of his freedom. The person is taken out of his home and separated from his family. It may be that he will lose his job and in many instances will suffer loss of prestige in the community. His family also may be subjected to a certain amount of privation or at least embarrassment. So, before making an arrest, consider carefully. Does the nature of the offense warrant an arrest? Are the circumstances such that an arrest is necessary in order to stop the commission of the offense or to protect the public? If the person is a transient, it may be necessary to arrest in order to ensure his attendance in court. If a local citizen, perhaps a summons would suffice. In many cases, a justice of the peace or magistrate will issue a warrant for the arrest of a person in your community. It will be your duty to execute the warrant and bring the person before the court. In this case, the accused is a local farmer and the offense is relatively minor. Resistance is not anticipated, but then neither is the possibility ignored. Care must be taken on approaching all persons to be arrested as some may react violently to a restraining of their liberty. Mr. Thompson, I have a warrant for your arrest on the charge of common assault. Here's your copy of the warrant. That damn thing's come up again. >> The accused is given a copy of the warrant. This is required by law in a summary conviction offense and though not required in indictable offenses, it is practiced by many investigators. The original is retained by yourself. The accused is also warned whether or not to say anything. Anything you do say may be used as evidence at your trial. Now, do you understand that? >> Oh, yes. Yes, I I'm not saying anything at this time. I'll have to see my lawyer about this. A search should be made even in minor cases and if possible without unnecessary display. Raise your hands. All right, that's fine. No restraints, such as handcuffs, are needed and force is not required to affect this arrest. Arrangements for the care of the farm are made, but no undue delays or stalls are permitted. At other times, you must arrest without a warrant as in this case of a drunken driver. The actions of the violator are observed and a mental note made of them for use at a later date in court. Keys are easy now. Leave the up in here. Just lean against the car. That'll be fine. A search is made of the violator for any article which could become a weapon and of the car for any further evidence. You just stand there for a moment, will you please? Where have you been today? Home. Home. Have you? The man's car is looked after and in usual practice is towed away for safekeeping. No force is necessary other than assistance to the police car. Unnecessary violence could cause resistance or sudden retaliations. Patience and persuasion can usually avoid a fight. If there is any doubt as to the reason for the man's condition a request is made for a doctor to examine the prisoner to ensure there is no sickness or injury involved. Your authority for this arrest comes from section B of the criminal code which states in effect that you may arrest anyone whom you find committing a criminal offense. It isn't always that easy. You may receive a request for arrest by wire, phone, or radio. These men wanted for robbery with violence, Cochrane General Store. Warrant held this point. Subjects believed heading north in a 1958 Pontiac sedan, blue. Ontario license 19793. These men armed and dangerous. Approach with caution. Arrest and advise. Signed O.C. Calgary subdivision. If you know the sender and believe that the request is genuine, you may arrest without warrant under authority of Criminal Code Section 435 Paragraph A, which states that you may arrest without warrant anyone who has committed an indictable offense. If the originator is unknown, the particulars should be confirmed or the warrant requested. No chances are taken in this situation. The suspects are not immediately approached. All right. Out of the car on the left-hand side. Hands on top of the car. Feet apart. Heads down. Don't get between them and your cover. Search thoroughly. >> do you want us for? You're under arrest for armed robbery. This is not a casual frisk. The whole body is covered meticulously. Flat objects, such as knives or razor blades, can be easily missed. The prisoners may be handcuffed together or separately. In handling prisoners such as these, the prevention of escape and the safety of the arresting officers is your first concern. However, this does not justify brutality or unnecessary force, but leaves no room for carelessness or inattention. There is no hard and fast rule for escorting by car. As in all police work, you must use your good judgment. Handcuffs may remain behind the back on short escorts or may be moved to the front and passed under a restraining belt for longer trips. At the cell block, a strip search is made as evidence or articles to aid in escape may be taped to the body. Another problem of arrest, which may not be as dangerous as armed thugs, but can be as difficult, is the arrest of a female. This occurs on some occasions before a matron can be obtained and you can be placed at a disadvantage. Your use of force, restraints, and the powers of search are greatly reduced. Three is company in this case. An immediate search of the person cannot be undertaken and in some cases appears unnecessary. But a handbag should be searched and the prisoner handed over to a competent matron for search at the earliest opportunity. Sometimes an arrest can become very difficult when the person to be arrested is determined not to be taken and is mentally prepared to use any method to avoid arrest. The search for the person can often be long and tiring and there is a danger of becoming careless as the hours or the days pass. Such an attitude could cost a life. Yours. When the subject has been found get assistance. Portable number three to car seven. Jerry, get the sergeant up here quick. No two situations are the same, but the rules are always there. Whatever your actions are, they must be without blame in the eyes of the courts, the public, your superiors, and your own conscience. A dangerous man run to ground is an unpleasant problem. An arrest is far from simple. He must be hemmed in to limit his movements and to block an escape. Gary, you bring the gas gun and the radio and follow me. Roger, you stay here. You must try to persuade him to surrender. Carson. Carson. This is the police. We have you surrounded. Throw that rifle down and come on out. You hear me? I HEAR YOU. GET AWAY FROM HERE. I'M NOT COMING OUT. I'VE ALREADY KILLED ONE PERSON. DON'T MAKE ME KILL ANYMORE. THERE IS always a delicate balance of choice between the safety of your men and the life of the subject. There is a temptation to use firearms to end it here and now before one of your men gets hurt. It is a problem that each man must decide on his own when faced with reality. But firearms are the last resort. They can easily become judge, jury, and executioner. You tear gas if possible to drive the man into the open. See if you can put one in that window. Then move fast and take him while he is blinded. In no other field of law enforcement does a peace officer stand so alone as in affecting an arrest. You and you alone are responsible for your actions. Police work is not the thrilling scene portrayed in fiction and on TV. When correctly done with a full realization of your responsibilities, it couldn't be that simple. It isn't easy. But then nothing worthwhile ever is. >> [music] >> Man, now I want to hunt down more uh Royal Canadian Mounted Police training films. That one was awesome. Very much like the how chill everything is and then it's like, "I've already killed a man. I'll kill another." All right. Um This film is The Game and it is not my favorite film, The Game. This is another film that was made around the same time with the same title, but this one was made in the United States. Enjoy. >> [music] [bell] >> I spy Mickey Mouse, I spy snatch a victim from the sky. Fly to the east, FLY TO THE WEST, CATCH THE VICTIM in his nest. >> [music] >> They will be. >> Can I play with you?

You can rail it. You can scoop it up and smell it. Then you can put it in a paper bag and go downtown and sell it. >> [music] [cheering] [music] [music] [singing] >> Well, I DIED LIKE THIS.

It's amazing how much you know about my life, >> [cough] >> how much I'm sharing [clears throat] about my life with you, but there you go. And I just got a box of Hold on. I'm sorry. Four boxes of foreign language films. So we're going to sprinkle those in. And maybe we'll learn another language. Uh this is not just uh entertainment, but it's also educational. Um thanks for watching today. Thanks everybody for donating. Uh thank you uh the person from Raleigh who, uh, lives near Niemann, which is a place we go to often. Um, we'll be back again tomorrow, 1:00.
