The Calgary Herald March 5, 1962
Image and short blurb in The Calgary Herald March 5, 1962 with title "Moon-Walker." - shows Allyn Hazard demonstrating a moon walking device model. Presumably this was a scene from "Man and the Moon" showing on March 8.

Transcript:

MOON-WALKER. This machine designed and built in California to walk on the moon and transmit pictures back to earth was brought to Toronto to star in a CBC program called "Man and the Moon" on March 8. The designers hope the machine will be shot to the moon on one of the shots now planned for next year (ed. probably the Ranger program). Allyn Hazard a representative of the manufacturer shows Ene Rilsna the camera part of the Moon-Walker.
