DALE'S WORLD
BY Frank Dale
Hi There! Its good to be back
another issue and a pleasure to be
able to talk to you - even if its only
a one way conversation. But as
I’ve said; it need hot be WRITE! k
IF I HAD THE WINGS OF AN
ANGEL
Before I get into the lighter
side of this column, let me lay
some heavy matters on you.
BARS, but not the kind you
cruise or get a hang-over from.
I’m speaking or the kind of bars
behind which live (if that is really
an appropriate term) many lonely
brothers and sisters, both straight
and gay. In many cases they exist
like .animals locked in cages, but
for the grace of God, or what ever
vo'u believe in, go many of us! I
personally was just a hairs breath
away once from the same fate,,
just for being what I am. Believe
me that one night I spent in jail
was pure hell and I hope that I
never will be subjected to it
again. I do not say that all of the
people in our prisons are innocent
or do not deserve it, but they are
paying their debt for wrongs
against society - while there are
many others who should be there
as well but are not. But the main
point I wish to bring out is that
they are lonely and like to hear
from people on the outside, they
often need this to keep their own
sanity. They are hungry for
someone to talk to, they are not
1 prejudiced to who you are, what
you are, etc. If you’ re interested,
and I hope you will be, in writing
to a prisoners, check with your
local Matachine Society or Gay
society, they usually keep lists of
prisoners who are interested in
corresponding with others. If you
can not obtain such a list, I will
gladly send you a list from my
own personal files.
What do yon do on a rainy night 1
InRie?
Here is something I bet you
didn’t know. That weather affects
human nature and since sex is
part of that nature, its logical to
assume it is affected as well. In
fact Gordon Barnes, meterologist
for CBS Radio has stated that,
“the incidence of sexual
relationship goes up, when the
barometer is 29.90 or lower .Those
bad days could really be your
good days - take heed!
DRIP - DRIP If the movie,
NIGHT AT THE BATHS, plays
near you, let it, but I wouldn’t
recommend it unless you have
nothing better to do. This one was
written, directed and produced by
Jim Buckley’s (ex-big wig or
SCREW) little brother, David.
Little I^g#i*$tmust have felt like
the bifrlfbilynie and decided to
tackle this movie Goliath, but in
his case he lost. Filmed at the
famous Continental Baths in New
York, which is only a shadow of
what it once was, it tells the story
of a fellows latent homosexuality
come to the surface. Personally I
don’t think that this film should
have come to the surface.
WORLD’S OLDEST
On the heels of the paris
prositutes looking for bettering
their profession (they want to pay
taxes, social security etc., and
receive benefits) in New York City
the girls are looking to legalize
their profession. If they should
get what they want, will this also
include all the Drags who work
the streets? Many of the girls
resent these fellows who work
their territory - says one lady of
the night, “its just not fair,
business is bad enough without''
this added competition.” I know
one fellow who works the truck
areas in his city, and he used to
get a lot of bad static from the
girls - and he's not a drag! -
BUY LINES
One of the most unusal of the
“do it” books to come along is in
my estimation JANUS’ “DO
YOUR SELF’’ or “autofellatio is
possible.”. Its not really a book,
its lessons! plus photos of young
men who }“do it” and sells for
$5.00 Or you can get information
and photd of “how its done” for
$2-00 - Biit I would consider the
$5.00 a much better bargin, since
you get lessons and photos for
that pricel JANUs is located at
1»0 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY
100011.
If. you’re into the Leather Scene
or just dig leather wear, such as
jeeks, briefs etc., one of the very
best I’ve ,come across is, JAMES
of San Francisco, Ltd., 839 Larkin
St., San. Faran., Cal. 94109
While leather prices are high and
going up, JAMES, offers good
material at reason albe prices and
often has such sales as his, “pot
luck” where you could have
gotten beautiful leather jocks for
only $5.00,'some even in suede.

BUYER BEWARE
In this time of tight money,
you should beware of those “do it
at home” businesses, which offer
you quick money for “home
work,” but first you must for’
over “registration fee,”
“material fee” or some such
thing. What you usually end up
with “is a lot of material and no
where to sell it - think not twice,
but thrice before answering any
of those ads, Please I love you too
much to see you taken or ripped
