Not So Bad,' Boy
Says of Operation
Prise Contribution
By Albert Mister, 10

Mount Vernon Elementary School
A hospital trip really Is not
10 bad. I've just been discharged
from Doctors Hospital.
First, we went to the admitting
office, where we answered a lot
Of questions. Then a nurse took
me up to my room. A doctor
checked my heart. lungs and gen.
eral condition, and a technician
checked my blood.
The next morning. nurse gave
me q hypodermic' needle to make
me drowsy. A shipping tag was
tied on my wrist so I would be
taken to the right operating room
for the right surgeon and then
back to my bed. I was strapped
on q stretcher and taken to the
operating room. I liked the way
my anesthetic was given-with a
hypodermic.
The next thing I knew. was
back In my bed eating ice. In
Q few days. I was home.
So If you have to 60 to the
hospital. don't be afraid; and re-
member. the more you cooperate
the sooner you will be home again

Land Camera Users
Learn a Lot in
Week of Tryouts

Introduction Of the Polaroid
Land camera here this past week
started snapshooters on . new
round OF experimental shooting
with varied results and reactions,
Most frequently voiced was the
admission that the familiar mega
tive was missing and duplicates
could not be made. and further
more. some of the fun OF antic-
ipating what might come from =

The Land camera. designed for
speed and simplification. turns out
a finished picture. but the paper

time. Prints can be duplicated by
copying with orthodox methods. or
Polaroid will make copies, A
copying device Is TO be on the
market soon. In the meantime.
the camera owner can. in posed
pictures. make as many exposures
OF his subject as time will permit
and have them on the spot.
The camera does eliminate the
walt and the dash to the photo
finishers to find out how the pic
lures came out. 1t substitutes
almost instant results. from which
the amateur can judge whether or
not his exposure was correct and
make corrections Immediately. II

Its combined shutter and aper-
ture settings are calculated on the
light factor alone. This sim
plicity Of operation. for instance
sacrifices the chance to narrow
down the aperture and obtain
depth Of field at fast shutter
speeds. The camera Is equipped
with . mount for an exposure
meter by which the settings can
be accurately determined.
Advanced amateurs who are In
the habit Of requiring fexibiiity
in camera operation and print
controls find themselves. baked.

cents per exposure Ia not deemed
excessive.
Land camera users have learned
. few cautions. One Is not TO
Jerk the paper through the
rollers which start the printing
operation. Another Is not to

Summer vacation days are here
With this In mind you will dis
cover that II is time TO get that
movie camera into top notch work
ing condition. II you don't own q
movie camera. now is the time to
get hold of . good one. Vacations
come and 90 and II you haven't
your movie camera along you may.
before long. forget some OF the
best times OF your life. This can't
happen II you put IL on film. We
can't think OF . better way to
while away . winters afternoon
than with that reel Of fiim ahot
during vacation days.
If your movie camera has been
put away since last summer. take
1t out, blow of the dust and give
it q thorough going over. We do
not mean to suggest by this that
you disassemble the entire camera.
This Is q job that only an expert
camera repair man should tackle.
But there are q number of main
tenance checks that you can per-
form First. get rid Of the dust
and CRIME that may have accumu-
lated on the body Of the camera.
Include the surface Of the lens in
this operation. using camel hair
brush or soft cloth. Then polish
the lens with q sheet Of lens tissue.
II your lens has not been coated
we suggest that you have this done.
The coating Is particularly valu-
able around water and other places
where there may be q danger Of
excess reflected light. Your movies
at the beach will be much better
If the lens Is coated. A camera
shop will send 1t to the factory
for q coating job. ri
Next press the release button.
II you have left tension on the
drive spring for several months.
you may find 1t necessary to have
a repairman put 1t in order for
you. If you have become accus-
toned to shooting at q constant
rate of speed you will soon note
any change in the operation OF
your spring drive. II you notice
that people move about more
quickly on the screen than be-
fore (at the same speed setting)
1t may be an indication that the
spring tension Is not accurate.
A slowing up of action may indi-
cate q like trouble. To get the
best from your camera. all tension
should be taken of the spring
