fan mail.
Good Business.
This is why Tim takes care Of
his own mail:
My fans are mostly kids who
aren't overburdened with dimes, so
I'd rather they used the dimes they
might send me to 60 to q movie.
mine or any others. I think that's
good business"
Fan mail costs Tim about $50
month, but he's been in only eight
Westerns. He notices his mail in
creases with each picture, but even
though the cost Is bound to 60 up,
Tim considers the investment good.

When Walter Brennan read the
script of Swamp Water" he found
he was supposed to fight an alli-
gator, wrestle deer and play in q
scene with a poisonous moccasin.
Right then he began hating writer's.
He didn't mind the alligator or the
deer but he detests snakes and pro-
tested loudly. The script said he
was to stretch out by pool and
drink, with the moccasion curled up
near him.

Brennan.
A mirror was fixed out of camera

State BOOST
Cooperate With Tourist Bureau
in Providing Information
About Vacation Land.

Newspapers and other publicity
agencies are showing a greater dis
position to cooperate in providing
tourist information about Minnesota,
the records of the state tourist bureau
show, according to Victor A. Johnston.
bureau director.
During the q months ending Dec. !.
newspapers printed a total of 3O9I
items of news, comment, pictures and
rotogravure layouts about Minnesota's
outdoors. This amounted to 36,77O
column inches of newspaper space,
equivalent to 209 pages of eight
columns % inches long.
In addition to this newspaper pub
licity, magazines of national scope.
sports and outdoor magazines, trade
publications, house organs, educational.
church, and other publicity media
made extensive use of pictures and
other material provided by the state
tourist bureau about Minnesota rec
reational features.
Illustrative of the vast amount of
good publicity the state is getting in
this way is the large 1941 art wall
calendar Of the Greyhound Bus lines,
which is being distributed throughout
the nation. 1t consists of four large
scenic photographs, in natural colors-
one each from Minnesota, California
Florida and New York City. The Min

cause it's focusing model. So, you
get larger images"
"That's good" said Jack, "be-
cause l got me a plus-three and a
plus-two today. They don't cost
much, and the clerk said they were
easy to use. What can l shoot with
them"
"Oh," said, "any small subject
nature subjects, flowers, tabletop
scenes" That was as far as
managed TO go. The tabletop idea
aroused his curiosity, and I didn't
finish the newspaper that evening.
Instead, we built snow scenes, with
an old carpet draped over some
boxes for hills, and ice-cream salt
for snow. To add life, we put in a
couple of toy skiers borrowed from
the nursery. Effective! The scenes
were perfect!
You'd enjoy tabletop shooting,
and here's all there is to it. Arrange
your scene, put the camera on
firm support at just the right dis
tance to suit the supplementary
lens you're using-and shoot. If
your camera has a fast lens, stop
it down to f/11, for better sharp
ness all through the scene. Ex-
posure?-it's just the same as for
any other shot under the same light
conditions. Indoors, use photo bulbs
and high speed film, as for regular
snapshots at night.
It's fun to plan these tabletop"
scenes-easv to shoot them-and
they do lend spice to your picture
album.

OUR house has suddenly become
" a workshop for tabletop pic
tures. For the past five or six eve
nings, Jack and Ann have been
busy with fascinating little set-ups,
and I've never seen anybody have
more fun with camera.
They're clever at 1t, too-think-
ing up tabletop" ideas, and finding
household materials for the scenes.
The nursery has been raided for
small toys, and almost all the statu-
cites in Grandma's whatnot have
been borrowed, to pose in pictures.
Pictures have also come out Of the
icebox and vegetable bin-quaint
animals and figures made Of car
rots, or potatoes, with toothpick
legs, and tufts of cotton for tails.
I've made my contribution to the
fun; I'm all out of pipe cleaners.
Take a few woolly, white pipe
cleaners, and you can twist them
into the most amazing little figures
Just perfect for use in tabletop
scenes.
Ouf table top activity started one
evening last week, right after din
ner, when Jack began popping
questions at me. "Uncle John," he
demanded, what does plus-three
mean on q lens?"
"Its just rating" 1 said. Put
a plus-three supplementary lens in
front Of your camera lens, and you
can have the camera only about
thirteen inches from subject.
Plus-two, about twenty inches;
plus-one, about forty inches. And
even closer with your camera, be.
