- Scope and Content
- One black and white photograph used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published February 20, 1978, with caption:
- "Delicate balance - Wayne Woloschuk of St. Thomas tries a balance practice routine on his motorcycle which is designed especially for 'trials' or slow-speed driving over obstacles. Wayne, 22, is ranked fourth in Canada in the expert category, and was the initial adherent of the sport locally, which now has about 20 enthusiasts." (20a)
- "Uneasy rider - Bob Wardle takes a rare spill while practising a climb over a log on his property at 178 St. George St., a popular practice spot for the 'trials' riders in St. Thomas. During a competition, the five points for a section are lost if the rider stops and puts his foot down." (20b)
- Article, St. Thomas Times-Journal, February 20, 1978, "World's oldest motorcycle competitions catching on following success of local riders". (R4_S6_Sh6_B2_F20)
