Special School Helps Contestants To
Cash in On Country's Many Contests
Philadelphia IP In
words or le.s, finish this sen
tence: "I love whatzies be
cause . .
Ever finish one of those sen
tences? Win the roundtrip to Pa
tagonia and the fur-lined deepfreeze?
Well, there's a man here who
topped entering contests 25
years ago and started advising
other people how to win them.
This year he gave his advice to
23.000 contest entrants. He has
built up a million-dollar business
on the theory that winning con
tests is "science, not luck."
Wilmer S. Shepherd Jr. won
so many contests himself in the
early 1930s that other contes
tants began writing to ask him
how he did it. So he pushed
aside the entry blanks and be
gan answering the letters.
Contest School Born
It wasn't long before he de
rided thpre was more cash in
that than winning refrigerators
ot toasters. And so the "Shep
herd Correspondence School of
Contest Technique" was born.
Today the business has two
suites in an office building with
a staff of nine. The 25.000 en
rol'&i in the course pay $36
5 I apiece. Eight thousand others
subscribe to his bi-monthly con
test bulletins.
Shepherd - trained contestants
now known as "Shepherdites"
have won more than $4 mil
lion. They have won 49 new cars
so far this year. A Shepherdite
recently won his 1,500th prize.
A half dozen of them are scat
tered over the world right now
on expense-paid tours.
Some firms around the coun
try write contest entries and
sell them, but each Shepherdite s
work is his own.
Stick To Creative Field
"We stick to the creative com
mercial field," said Shepherd, a
soft-spoken executive type in
his 50s. "Last lines, naming con
tests we're not in the puzzle
field at all. We can t handle TV
contests like 'The S64.000 Ques
tion.' They require specialized
knowledge and we can't provide
that."

Shepherdites consider them
selves amateurs, "Hobbyists,"
although some contest manag
ers feel they enter on a profes
sional basis and some are pretty
irritated about it. Shepherd in
sists that they are not pros. Most
of them, he says, are house
wives. His school is licensed by the
Pennsylvania Depar t m e n t of
Public Instruction. The lessons
go out in plain envelopes mark
ed " Shepherd School." The
school has a "library" of winning
contest entries 40,000 of them
by Shepherdites.
Shepherd has on file many
letters of appreciation. One
rends:
"I am, as they say in Dixie,
as happy as a dead pig in the
sunshine. However warm my
sentiments. I could never have
woven them into a winning
statement without the tech
niques you've taught me."

excuse to hit the outdoor trail.
As for Manitoba, Canada, this

virgin lakes, forests and streams.
As for the lake trout. They've

Manitoba, with 10-pounders al
most in the common class in
some lakes, and 15-pounders far
from unusual. Autumn provides
the most thrilling times then
you can use light casting or spin
ning tackle.
If great northern pike are your
dish, there are plenty of tackle
busters. As for size, a native
Manitoban wouldn't dream of
soiling hs hands on any pike
less than 10 pounds (it says
here).
"Any tima a northern pike

sure that nothing else is bit

lures, they'll take spinners,
plugs, live bait anything that
moves. Just be sure your line is
not too light unles you're a real
expert.
If vou're the kind of fisherman j
who shudders at the mere men
tion of anything but a dry fly,
there are brookies. no hatchery
orphans but real natives of the
north. They come in assorted
sizes running up to six and seven

fall for spoons, plugs or live bait.
Another one is the Arctic char
big brother of the brook trout,
caught in the Barren Lands of
Northern Canada. He doesn't
come in minnow sizes and he's
been taken in 20-pound weights.
No native in Manitoba, but a
good scrapper, is the small mouth
bass. Some anglers will tell you
that as far as fresh water fish go,
"inch for inch, pound for pound,
they are the fightingest fish that
lives . . ." And they will suc
cumb to a bucktail!
Rainbow trout, too. have been
introduced essentially, the rain
bow is a west-of-the-Rockies

will fall for wet flies and
small spinners. Dry flies too, par
ticularly in early mornings and
late evenings.
World's Finest Hunting

and duck hunting. When the
crowned heads of Europe and the

And there's deer, moose, cari

grouse. Spruce partridge, and
prairie chickcni lor pinnated

hunters have been asked to leave
