Handling q Slide Protector

tFOuJLN OF DCTtGSJ
1t Is just as important to you
TO know the ms and outs of slide
projection as it Is to be able
to produce the slide or film plate.
A lack Of this understanding on
the part Of the slide projectionist
will often destroy the entire effect
Of his slides, no matter how much
effort has gone into their prep
aration.
There is much to know about
projectors, projection lenses, audi
erce arrangement. pre-screening
preparations, selection and place
ment Of the screen, etc. The very
simplicity Of the slide protector
is apt to lead the beginner into
pitfalls that will lead to his. en-
barrassment as well as the dis
comfture Of the audience, which.
after many years Of professional
screen entertainment, has come to
expect a smooth performance.
Before investing in a slide pro-
jector review your ultimate aims
and be guided when you make
selection. If you plan to limit
your slide shows to small audi
ences in the home, an inexpensive
machine will give you full sat
isfaction. If the room you will
use for the screening is small
you will need fairly wide angle
lens to get an image of desirable
size and without cramping your
audience. A 300-watt projection
lamp will probably be ample.
Room Governs Size.
But should your screening room
be long and narrow, you will need
o lens with q correspondingly
greater focal length and the watt
age Of the lamp needed to throw a
brilliant image will have to be
greater. Projectors not having
blowers to cool the machine can
not be operated with lamps of
great wattage without the danger
of fire.
The size of your slides will also
be an influencing factor. If you
make the 2x2 slides that most
amateurs prefer. a 2x2 protector
will take care Of your needs very
nicely. However, If you shoot
SAx4 slides, you should buy a
machine that will handle both.
IT you plan to show your slides to
large audiences in a large hall or
theater, a two-projector arrange
ment with dissolve control outfit
will give your screening the pro-
fessional touch. The dissolve con-
troll sadget will electrically fade
out one of the projectors as the
other machine is faded in. Still
another type Of protector for very
small audiences Is the table viewer
that has an image projected from
the rear to 4 screen about 71ax7h
inches.
Put Than All in Front.
Don't spend a lot of good money
fora fine slide protector and then
try to economic on the screen. I
have seen. slides projected on
everything from the wall of q room
to wrinkled sheet and the effects
were just about what you might
imagine. In q small room, q matte
screen can be quite effective for q |
small audience. but light from
other sources than the protector
is noticeable on this type screen.
The beaded screen, on the other
hand, is the best for the purpose.
All light striking on this screen is
reflected back directly toward its
source. Consequently. properly

"The development problem, "
Mr.. CASTOR said, "is a common
one throughout the world" He
said the greatest message we can
send to countries engaged in pro-

are engaged in the same task"
and that I'VE too have much to
do"

countless millions who daily are

Fifteen Miles OF County Road To Be Hard Surfaced This Year
Work Expected To Be
Finished BY Early Fall

More than fifteen miles of Dick
enson County road is being given
hard surface treatment. The work
beginning last week is expected
to continue through September.
The work represents in round
numbers 10000 gallons of as
phalt and $500 tons of stone.
A three-mile ection of Route
70, between Darwin and the
Wise County line was resurfaced
last week. The purpose of the
treatment was to smooth and
strengthen the road which had
become rough in places and was
beginning to show the wear of
truck traffic
During the present week, work
is beginning on hard surfacing
the Brush Creek road from the
Clintwood corporation line to the
Pound River bridge. This pro-
ject takes in little more than
two miles.
The newly constructed project
in the town OF Haysi will likely
be ready for hard surfacing with
in another two weeks. This is APP
proximately half mile in length.
Sections of Routes GA and GIT
at the lower end of Mullins Ridge
are being prepared for the same
treatment as the Brush Creek
road. This piece of work will ex-
tend the present surface of Route
6O7 for more than two miles.
Later a heavy seal treatment
will be given to the Caney Ridge
road from Bear Pen Gap to the
Rockhouse Gap beyond Omaha,
The purpose of this work is to re
inforce the present surface which
is showing signs of wear The pro
ject covers more than five miles
The highway department hopes
to apply a hard surface on two
miles of the road between FIRE.
