Caption from metadata: "Dan Pederson takes a closer look at some of the 3,000 pins in his collection, at the Pacific Pin Club's first public show and sale at the Capitol Hill Community Centre. Pederson says he started collecting pins in 1984, at the Los Angeles Olympics and he's travelled to various competitions like the Commonwealth, Pan Am and Canada Games to amass his collection. "I like to trade with the actual athletes," he says. "Every pin has a story." The Pin Club has about 44 members from Vancouver Island to Alberta. It started when collectors, who started accumulating pins during Expo 86, started getting together to compare and trade their finds. The club meets monthly."

Scope and Content
Recording is of John Burton discussing the history of the weekly newspaper and of the types of printing presses that have been used in Canada, as well as exactly how their parts function. John appears to be describing printing presses that are in the room with him.
Biographical Notes
John Burton was born in 1912 in New Westminster. He went to Second Street School, then Edmonds, then Saint Anne's Convent, and St. Louis College and Connaught before graduating from Burnaby South School in 1930. While at High School, John worked at Cowan's Music Store at 716 Columbia Street in New Westminster on Saturdays and after school. John Burton's grandfather John Foley was the founder of the Orangeville Sun newspaper in Orangeville, Ontario, established in 1861. He ran the paper until his death in 1882, when his son, John Foley Jr. took over as editor and publisher at the age of sixteen. Two of his daughters were involved in the newspaper; Margaret Foley was a regular contributor to the paper, and John Burton's mother was a typesetter. When John Burton was a teenager, he went to Orangeville to learn the trade from his uncle. Unfortunately, he was only there eighteen months when his uncle died December 21, 1932. The family was unable to hold on to the business and the paper amalgamated with the Orangeville Banner newspaper in 1933.
