Mothers Day Messages

attention the plight of Mrs. Rosa

The High Cost Of Principle

Another Lenten season is upon
us and the mind of Christendom
is turnsd once more towards Cal
vary's bloodstained heights, where
the Prince of Glory died, it is
useless for US to indulge in the
illogical speculation when the
lessons of the cross are still cry
ing for emphasis and chiefest OF
these lessons is that sacrifice is
still the price of salvation and SUI
fering still becomes the password
to great living.
Just as surely now as when
Jesus was hanged upon the cross,
we may say in truth that without
the shedding of blood there is no
remission of sins, and the man
who would stand by a principle
must be prepared to pay the price
The unsuccessful attempts OF en-
inent churchmen to devise a cross
less religion has colored the his
tory of the last two thousand
but to date the "some 9TH
err way" for which men have
yearned and which spacious think
ers have sought to "invent" has
been a sad disillusionment that
is becoming more disillusioning as
the centuries pass away. The
stark fact remains Jesus of Naza-
reth was lynched at Jerusalem,
because he dared to stand by a
principle. Had he elected to by
pass suffering and evade the head
on conflict with the higher ups
of his day, he most certainly would
have been spared the horrors of
Calvary. His major premise was
that if men would reign, some
body must agonize-somebody
must pay the price. The vacil-
lator and the moral shyster and
intellectual renegade may find an
easy way, but it is not the way of
human salvation.
The foregoing is inspired by the
congressional tribulations of Pres
ident Truman. Republicans and
democrats are ganging up on the
man in a game of revenge for the
courageous stand he took during
the last campaign and for the

amazing victory that he won. The
Dixiecrats of the south are being
abetted by the disgruntled Repub-
licans of the north and the net
result is a Congress that has yet
to justify the confidence of the
nation. It's the attempt to cru
city Truman and warn all others
forever hereafter" how danger
Gus it will be to break with psue-
do-Democrats and psuedo-C Christ
ians in their racial stand.
Congress is attempting to give
Truman a public spanking as a
warning to all others of broad
sentiments in racial matters. The
way some southern newspapers
are gloating over the embarrass-
ment that that Democratic Repub-
lican coalition is causing the adj
ministration borders on the trag-
lie. The real defeat is not the de-
feat of Truman but the defeat of
the forces of righteousness; and
all the things that are being done
in this spirit Of revenge must
some day be undone perhaps in
| the blood of the nations. When
| Wilkie envisioned his Zone World"
he had something in very truth.
Every defeat for Truman because
of his righteous stand, is a defeat
for righteousness, albeit the de-
feat is only temporary. Truman
is simply paying the price OF a
principle and may God give him
strength and courage to pay in
full measure. "Truth crushed to
earth will rise again. And the
cause of civil rights is a cause
with everlasting life.
Just this week the nation was
stunned to learn that the great
Frank P. Graham, famed presi-
dent of the University of North
Carolina had been appointed by
Cardinals governor as senator to
succeed the late Sen. Broughton.
1t takes no prophet or seer to
understand that pressure must
have been applied to this eminent
educator and humanitarian. Where
ever liberal thought and thinking
are known, there is known the
name of DR.. Frank P. Graham

A camera jaunt through the
countryside at harvest time will
reward even the casual photogra-
pher with pictures both pictorial
and eolorful. Orderly rows Of corn
shocks and yellowing fields Of
pumpkins against the blue Of an
autumn sky are well worth a drive
through nearby farmlands with
camera and tripod. And this is
the time of year when the weather
lends itself to any outdoor ac-
tivity.

Camera Angles
Harvest Season Provides Top Picture Material

lures in the country during har-
vest season, you will find no lack
of subject matter to attack with
your camera. Stroll out into a
nearby cornfield and take a few
shots of the shock rows. If pos
sible shoot from high angle and
take in a large part of the field.
A nearby knoll or hilltop will help
provide you with a pleasing cam
era angle.
Pictures of harvesting opera
tions. including closeups of men
at work in the fields, shucking
corn. loading farm wagons and
truck and corncribs, are only a
few Of the many possibilities.
Out on the farm you will also
find opportunity for some fine
character studies by natural light.
For closeups you can shoot against
the sky for a plain background
and natural farm surroundings,
machinery, ETC., can be used for
props to make interesting medium
shots and full-length outdoor por-
traits.
Lens Hood May Be Needed.
Pay particular attention to the
angle from which the light comes
from in all your pictures, regard
less of whether they be portraits
or pictorial scenes. Strong side
lighting will yield very pleasing
effects but care should be taken
to prevent the lights from reach
ing the lens. A lens hood will
take care of this situation. You
can make one easily by stretch
ing a strip TO black cloth over
a piece of coathanger wire which
is fastened to the camera. Back
lightings are even more striking
for outdoor pictorials, but even
greater care must be exercised to
prevent the sun from shining di-
rectly into the lens. Both these
types of lighting are preferable tc
an overhead lighting or one where
the sun is shining directly on the
subject from over your shoulder
Early morning and late evening
are the best times of day to
achieve these effects. Since the
modern farmer is up at dawn, you
won't have to wait around to get
started with your picture taking
If you are out bright and early.
Amateur movie makers can have
a real field day filming farming
activities at this time of year
especially if they load their cam
eras with color film. They will
have no difficulty finding plenty
of action on the farm just now
Crops are being harvested ano

defined lines of the wayside weeds
in the foreground. with their cast
shadows. The upper contours of
the snowdrift are in startling con-
trast with the distant buildings
and trees; however, even that
contrast is saved from harsh
ness by the diffused render
ing of the distance. The almost
vertical lines of the weed stems
in the foreground are repeated by
the distant telephone poles. The
picture gives an impression of re-
pose and solitude. The blue tone
of the print and the relatively dark
rendering of the sky are rather
suggestive of a moonlight scene
however. the sharp-cast shadows
of the foreground weeds and of
the ridges of the snow contradict
that impressino.

Slides at Society's
Color Meeting

The first color meeting of the
National Photographic Society will
have Glenn r. Krause as speaker.
He will present a tour of the
Persian Gulf through the medium
Of color slides he made while a
civilian observer with the Navy.
The group will meet Wednesday, at
BIS pm. in the auditorium of
the Natural History Building of
the Smithsonian Institution, Tenth
street and Constitution avenue.
Starting from Norfolk, Va, the
slides include scenes in Gibraltar,
Naples. Capri. Athens, Izmir, the
SueZ Canal. the Indian Ocean, the
Persian Gulf and Dohar and the
Island Of Bahrain in Arabia. In
Izmir. a visit was made to one of
the ruins dating back to biblical
times-Ephesus. which was built
in the early 18th century BIC,
and ruined by an earthquake in
1926 AID.
In its heyday, Ephesus was con.
sidered one of the largest and
most beautiful seaports on the
Aegean Sea, but after the earth
quake it became a completely in
land city. Archeologists are just
commencing to excavate and re-
store the ruins. In Athens many
slides were made by Mr.. Krause
showing the famous buildings such
as the Parthenon.
In the monthly color competi-
ton, which. will also resume with
the Wednesday meeting, four
2x2-inch slides and/o four larger
transparencies may be entered by
members. The makers name must
be included on slides which must
also carry the usual spot in the
lower left corner. No entries will
be received after the meeting is

Winter: A snow composition by
Ralph E. Lawrence. fellow of the
National Photographic Society.
Analysis by Harry B. Shaw of
the society: In taking this picture,
Mr.. Lawrence used a National
Graf1ex camera. 21ax2l2, with
Eastman plus-X film. He obviously
used a filter to reduce the excessive
actinism of the sky; exposure cal
culated by meter. The print was
made on chlorobromide paper and
blue-toned with gold.
This is delightfully."- simple
composition. the point of view
being we'll chosen. The contours
and textures of the flocculent snow
are beautifully rendered by the
exquisitely soft gradation of the
tones, which are free from harsh
contrasts. The beauty of the snow
Is enhanced by the flowing rhyth-

week or so and add beautiful
scenics to your growing collection
of pictures. This will be one time
when you won't have to be. con-
cerned about the type Of camera
you own. A box camera will take
good scenic shots if used properly.
A tripod, exposure meter, one or
two filters and as much film as
you can afford will round out the
list of equipment and supplies
needed.
K-2 Filter Helps Cloud Effects.
A yellow K-2 filter will give you
that professional touch in most
instances. 1t will bring out the
clouds and make figures and OBJ
jeetives outlined against the sky
stand out in true perspective. The
orange G filter will go one step
further and tend to exaggerated
the cloud formations to some ex-
tent. But don't use either Of
these filters if your camera is
loaded with color film. If you do,
the film will take on the color Of
the filter used. It should be en-
phasized that these filters should
only be used with monochrome
film. There are color correcting
filters for use with color film but
they should only be used by an
expert. Clouds will show up on
color film without the use Of a
filter.
Since most of your scenic shots
will be given -leisurely exposure
you can use a panchromatic film
of medium speed. If you plan on
using color film be sure to buy
the outdoor type. As you prob
ably know, there are also color
films designed for use, under
artificial light that will not do for
use out of doors. AS far as black
and-white shooting goes your best
plan would be to use the type Aim
that you are accustomed to. If
you switch to a film of different
speed than the one you are most
experienced with you may forget
at the last moment. use the ac-
customed speed rating. and ruin
your shot through over or under
exposure.
You won't have to look very far
to find many scenes Of pictorial
beauty once you get out Of the
city few miles. There are many
large farms within the radius Of
a few miles of town and most of
them are busy with harvesting ac-
tfvities. And you will also find
that most farmers are co-opera-
tive with people taking pictures
of the local scenery.
Wise to Get Permission.
1t will be wise, however, as well
as polite to ask permission of the
farmer before wandering around
his property. There are good rea-
sons for this. Many city folk,
unwise in the ways of the farmer,
may leave a gate open. allowing
stock to wander out or, worse yet,
may even become involved with
bull or other farm animals.
