GIRLS WILL BE - BOYS!
"Pillow fighting used to be the prerogative of boys.

PILLOW FIGHTING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2005
The 40th Annual World Pillow Fighting Championships is still the best fun to have on the 4th of July. Every year grown men and women straddle the 'Slippery When Wet' pole and try to hang on for a title (mostly just hang on to the pole). The audience always has a great time watching contestants slowly slither their way along the pole to the starting position while trying to keep their balance and holding onto a wet feather pillow in one hand and nothing but air in the other. If you have never tried it, it is harder than it looks. Our Champions manage to make it look so easy that everyone wants to have a swing at it. If you have never been to the Kenwood Pillow Fights, you have to try it at least once. Unfortunately, 2005 was the last year this year took place in Kenwood.

43344 1930s HOME MOVIE OF IRELAND & SCOTLAND SHOT BY WARD HARRIS LOCH LOMOND BELFAST
One of two stunning 16mm home movies shot by Ward Harris in the 1930s, this color film shows scenes of the U.K. including Scotland as it appeared before WWII. Harris was an Edison Mimeograph dealer in San Francisco in the late 1920s and an avid collector of things related to Thomas Edison. His famous collection included phonographs, batteries, light bulbs and other electrical equipment including Edison toasters, etc. and was so large that at one point an inventory revealed it had 50,000 items. Unfortunately with his death in the 1950s the entire collection was dispersed. This film and its companion are the only ones of a series of films made by Harris that apparently survived. This is a silent film but we have reason to believe that Harris originally narrated the films, perhaps even using Edison mimeographs to record his narration.<p><p>The film begins with shots of the London-based ocean liner "The Duchess of Atholl" which was sunk by a U-boat in 1942. Four crew members were lost and two crew members and two passengers were injured. Harris' trip however, made before WWII was apparently uneventful, and after a bunch of shipboard antics (2;41) including a pillow fight contest on a beam, the ship arrives in Belfast, Ireland (3:53).<p><p>At around 17:10 the film starts coverage of Scotland.<p><p>At 26:34 a traverse of Loch Lomond is made by a paddle wheel vessel.<p><p>We could use the help of some UK folk to identify other sights in this film!<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting? Tell people what it is and what they can see by writing something for example like: "01:00:12:00 -- President Roosevelt is seen meeting with Winston Churchill at the Quebec Conference."<p><p>This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.
