heated with obscene language and

always present until the former

When you've had to wait for the
corner drug store to receive sup
plies of film for your camera, per-
haps you've never supposed that
cotton linters play part in the
story. For one thing, cotton lint
ers have many essential war;
time uses, one of the most essen
tial being as an ingredient of ex-
plosives. But Photographic film
uses cotton linters, too, as its
celloluse base.
And here's another thought
when your snaphots are delayed
because of lack of film-army film
requirements have increased more
than 10 times since the war. Like
wise film footage is used in great
quantity for aerial photography,
medical X-ray, and industry which
uses much X-ray film. Even the
movie industry makes pictures
with Is percent less film.
These facts help you understand
why the nations camera enthus-
lasts have received so percent
cut in the amount of film available
for their hobby.
