Graders Hold
Program on Schools
Prise Contribution
By Jeon Lundeen Dovis, II

Dolly Madison Junior High School
In November, our class decided
that although we went to school
for nine and a half months q
year, we didn't know much about
schools. except, Of course, Dolly
Madison.
For about two weeks after that,
when people wanted to know
where some Of the seventh graders
were, they were told to look in
the encyclopedias where we were
hunting for information on
schools. Our teacher also sent
away for material from different
State capitals.
Even after doing that we de-
cided we didn't know or couldn t
find some Of the information we
needed, SO we invited our prin-
cipal. the supervisor of junior high
schools, the assistant superin-
tendent, a member of the school
board and a member of the Par
ent - Teachers Association as
speakers for a special meeting. 1t
has been decided that the meet
ing should be about one hour and
40 minutes long.
We had children to introduce
welcome and thank the guests and
serve them refreshments. But,
the two main things accomplished
were that we gained a lot of in
formation. and it was done CO.
operatively by four classes.

then, depends chiefly upon the
opposing varied tone values of
richly Illuminated clouds and a
glowing sun just below the horizon
and the uniform shade into which
the foreground is thereby cast.
It is a diffuse mellow shade with
out cast shadows. With proper
handling, the negative is suscep-
tible of producing a beautiful tone
picture; the shaded foreground
merging, on the right, into the
distant and softly lighted hills.
Several methods are available
to obtain a more complete range
of the tones of the sky. In the
first place, an exceedingly soft and
dilute developer should have been
used, with shorter development
time. 1t would be risky to attempt
to reduce the sky in the negative.
but it would be practicable to
apply a dilute solution of new
coccine or a neutral dye to the
foreground on the reverse side of
the film. In this way, the fore
ground could be held back to any
desired extent to compensate for
the excessive density of the sky.
Even then 1t would still be desir-
able to print-in the sky in such
a manner as to graduate it up to
the horizon. Still another posi-
bility would be to print the fore
ground and combine with it a
suitable cloud negative.

lust Between
Ourselves .
BY Philip n. Love-

Almost any day now, I'm ex-
pecting to learn that shedding and
even camping out have become
indoor sports.
When I was boy, about the
only games one played indoors
were checkers. old maids, parchesl
and tiddly- -winks. Pool also was
an indoor game, but only wealthy
families had tables of their own
and, of course, mice" boys never
frequented public poolrooms.
Every other game or sport I can
think of offhand, from hopscotch
to wireball, was carried on out
doors.
There were no indoor rinks for
iceskating and rollerskating.
Ponds, lakes, streams and even
rivers were used for the former.
and sidewalks and streets for the
latter. In Washington, the Tidal
Basin, the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal, Rock Greek and, in ex-
tremely cold weather, the Potomac
were favorite ice skating places.
And nearly every neighborhood
had a block or two of smoothly
paved street which was used for
roller skating.
The automobile, which brought
smooth streets, made street. -skat-
ing possible-and then. in few
years. made 1t impossible. In the
neighborhood In which I lived be-
tween the ages Of II and Is, six
blocks of a newly-paved but little
travelled street were roped off for
skaters by the police nearly every
night. We raced, tried fancy
skating" as we called 1t, and
played hockey.
That was also the era of block
carnivals and street dances
which. for my money, had con-
siderable advantage over some of
the goings-on that pass for rec
reation nowadays.
Outdoor iceskating was, OF
course. a great deal more hazard
Gus than the indoor kind. I don't
recall a single winter that I didn't
fall in" at least once. Severe
colds were the invariable results,
and on one occasion I would have
drowned If an older boy hadn' I
"f1shed" me out with his hockey
stick.
There is little outdoor ice skat-
ing nowadays, and I haven't seen
an outdoor roller skater in years
Shedding is dying sport, and
even skiiers do much of Their
practicing ndoors-without any
thing remotely resembling snow
Camping out was camping out
when your dad was a boy-in 6
tent, not a snug cabin. And
hopscotch-well, what has become
of hopscotch, anyway? I haven't
seen a trace of that grand ole
sidewalk game in 20 years.
AS for wireball-remind me tx
tell you about 1t some time, will
voIlo.

sharpness in a picture. In other
words, if a camera Is focused on
any given point, the lens will pro-
duce a sharp picture of everything
at that point and for a certain
distance in front of and in back
of that point, depending upon the
focal length of the lens and the
lens aperture. The distance from
the nearest point that will be in
focus to the farthest point in To-
Gus is referred to as the depth

Cleaning Lenses.
@. How should I clean the lens
of my camera?
A. The very first step should be
to rid the lens surface of any Wis
ible grit or dust. This should be
done by blowing or lightly busting
with a very soft cotton cloth.
Then apply few drops of lens
cleaner on piece of lens cleaning
tissue and wipe the lens surface
gently. II no lens cleaning fluid
is available breathe on the lens
surface and wipe gently with lens
tissue or soft cloth. Do not pour
liquid lens cleaner directly on the
surface of the lens.
@. How soon should film be de-
veloped?
A. Always develop your films as
soon after exposure as possible for
the best results. This will help you
avoid mishaps that may other
wise occur. Once the film is de-
veloped 1t may be printed at leisure.
Prints made from a correctly pro-
cessed film will be just as good a
year after development as the
ones made at the time.
@. How much will it cost me to
buy a complete outfit for develop
ing and printing?
A. The cost will vary according
to your special requirements. If
you buy a ready packaged home
processing outfit without en-
larger) it will cost you less than
$40. From there on you will have
to decide for yourself just how
much you can afford to spend for
additional equipment.
@. I have just noticed bubbles
in my camera lens. Is this sign
Of poor quality?
A. Not at all. The fact Is that
bubbles in lens are usually the
mark Of a superior optical glass.
Some fine optical glasses cannot
be made without some bubbles
while still retaining all desired
optical properties. Bubbles in a
lens do not harm whatsoever un-
less they break the surface Of the
glass-in which case the lens
would have been rejected by the
maker.
@. How are slow motion movies
made?
A. BY operating the camera at
a speed Of 80 or 81 frames per
second instead Of the conventional
Is frames per second most often
used in amateur movie making.
But II you try this don't forget to
increase the size of your lens aper-
ture to compensate for the Short
ened exposure.
@. Now that winter Is here and
the sun Is obviously weaker, how
much should exposures be in
creased to compensate for this
difference in light intensity?
A. Do not worry about differ
ences In light intensity during the
middle Of the day. Ordinary snap
shot exposures will do at such
times. However, when picture
taking during the very early morn
ing hours or in late afternoon
when the sun is obviously weak,
give at least double the normal
exposure.
