MITCHELL
EXPLAINS RULES
FOR REGISTRATION

Calling attention to the fact
that failure to register is a viola
ton of the law and makes the de-
linquent liable to penalty, Briga-
der General S. H. Mitchell, Mon
tana State Director of Selective
Service, has outlined registration
requirements under the Selective
Service act of 1913, which he be-
lieved were not thoroughly under
stood by all of the general public.
"The obligation to register"
General Mitchell said, "is a con-
tinuing obligation and must be
fulfilled regardless of whether men
are being indicted into the armed
forces under the selective service
act. The obligation to register is
imposed by the act on every male
citizen or resident in the United
States between the ages of Is and
26, with the general exception of
members of the armed forces on
active duty and certain aliens.
The young man of Yellowstone
county who becomes Is is required
to register within five days of the
date of his eighteenth birthday,

the local board at Billings, General
Mitchell explained, but if he hap
pens to be away from home he
need not return; he may register

Gadgets? These supplementary
bits Of equipment seem to hold a
fascination for all photographers,
young and old, amateur and pro-
fessional. Under this heading we
can include anything and every
thing that helps the cameraman
click. Most important, we think,
are the tripod and exposure meter.
The former will hold the camera
steady and help the photographer
to improve his compositions and
make indoor photography pos
sible. The exposure meter is al
most essential for calculating ex-
posures.
Other gadgets include the set OF
filters that make it possible to re-
cord beautiful cloud formations,
snow, ice and other difficult
scenery; the range finder which
is boon to the person who has
difficulty in correctly estimating
footage; the f1ash-gun that makes
it possible to shoot pictures OF &C
ton where other lighting is in
adequate; the lens shade or hood
that will enable the photographer
to shoot pictures into the sun and
with side lighting; fioodlights for
indoor portraiture and other pur-
poses; camera carrying cases and
many other items too numerous to
list here. Just take trip through
the camera stores and you will
find enough gadgets to keep the
most rabid fan busy for years to
come.

Camera Angles
Camera Fan Makes Yule Gift Selection Easy
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

II you are having trouble with
your Christmas shopping list this
year we suggest that you look over
some of the countless items OF
Photographic equipment that are
rolling off the assembly, lines-this
time at prices that you and can
afford to meet. Almost any one IN
your family big enough to walk
will be happy to receive a camera
or one or more Photographic &C
cessories.
A camera is still the most priced
gift of them all but, even though
all on your list may have cam
era, they will undoubtedly need
some items that go hand in hand
with making pictures. Look over
the family camera. It may we'll
be worn from constant use over
the years or it may be that the
photographers in your family have
outgrown the old box camera and
are ready to go ahead with more
advanced equipment. -.
If the camera situation Is well
in hand, you may decide to pre-
sent the family with complete
darkroom set. There are few
gifts that will appeal to a whole
family as will a darkroom that
will provide each member OF the
group with an opportunity for ex-
pressing his own ideas and talents.
A darkroom that is already under
way can be rounded out with &C
cessories that will make the work
easier and more fun.
Consider Experience.
Before selecting a camera or
other Photographic equipment for
a gift, it will be well to consider
the experience or lack Of expert
ence of the person to receive the
item. If your present will go to
a child or some one who has not
had previous experience with
cameras, we suggest that you Sc
lect one in the low or medium
price group. A multiple-gadget
camera in the hands of the mex
perienced is worse than none.
A box camera or folding camera
will be an ideal gift for the be-
ginner. The very simplicity will
make it possible for the neophyte
to commence taking pictures at
once. But a person who has mas
tered these basic cameras will be
ready to graduate to the more
expensive and more capable in
struments.
Supplementary lenses are al
ways a welcome gift to the more
advanced amateur. With the nor
NAL lens that he already has. a
wide-angle and telephoto lens are
usually enough. Few amateurs
will have use for more than these
three. The exception is usually
in the field Of motion picture
photography where the photog-
rapher has specialized in some
sort of camera activity that calls

tographers are supplies such al
film and coloring sets. II you plan
on film as your gift. be sure to dis.
cover in advance just what kind
Of filn your cameraman is using,
II he uses super Xxx, be sure to buy
that or whatever other type he
may favor. But don't buy just
any film that is on the shelf as
many photographers have become
used to a certain film and are
sometimes confused when using q
strange brand of a different speed.
Also be sure that you select the
right size film. Oil coloring sets
will help your photographer
brighten up his work if he uses
black and white film. But do not
overlook buying a few rolls or
boxes Of color film. since this Is a
high-ranking favorite with all
cameramen.
Things for the Movie Fan.
Still another item of interest, to
users of the 35-mm. camera, Is the
slide views and the slide protector.
The former allows magnification
of slides and the protector, Of
course, throws the image up to
large size on screen or wall.
Until recently, darkroom.
even for the amateur, was an ex-
pensive proposition-and it can be
yet if color head enlargers and
color-processing equipment Is In
cluded. But one of the larger pho
tographic manufacturing houses
has for sale at the very low price
of S7.56 a complete photo-lab out
fit. This set contains everything
needed for developing and print
ling and includes a metal printing
box, darkroom lamp. trays, chem
icals, stirring rod, graduate. ther-
mometer, paper, film clips ana
even an instruction book. Prices
like this put the darkroom within
reach Of virtually every photog-
rapher who cares to do his own
processing-and nearly all do.
The set described is designed
for snapshot prints or slightly
larger but with photo enlargers at
the low prices of today. even .
much more advanced darkroom
may be equipped at moderate cost.
The individual items listed are
also welcome additions to already
established home darkrooms as
are other aids such as printing
frames for contact work. texture
screens for pictorial effects, timers.
etc.
If you would like to give notion
picture equipment head your list
with an 8-mm. or 16-mm. camera
and include such other accessories
as the tripod. light meter, Aim
(both monochrome and COLOR.
protector, screen and Aim editing
equipment.
Books on the subject and SUBJ
scriptions to the Photographic
magazines are always welcomed
by the amateur camera fan-and
conclude our list of suggestions.
