American Assistance to Norwegians
EQUALS Sum Of Yearly Morse Budget

Thirty of Norway's leading man.
ufacturers are currently partici-
pating in an Oslo exhibit showing
Norwegian-made consumers goods
produced through Marshall Plan
aid.
One of many newspaper editor
ials on the ECA exhibit appears in
the Norwegian Journal of Com
merce and Shipping. Emphasizing
that the display gives food for
thought by showing tangible bene-
fits of the American aid, the edi-
torial goes on to say:
Our national economy has
made good progress since the war.
But where would we have been
without the generous aid we have
received from the United States?
According to Commerce Minister
Brofoss this assistance amounts to
about $3.50 million kroner, equiv
alent to Norway's highest annual
budget. This money has been in
vested in new and old enterprises,
thus strengthening our production
and export position and creating
work for many hands"
1T is true that even without
Marshall aid there would have
been enough work for all. But

Peace Assured

The Norwegian Federation of
Labor and the Norwegian Employ

substantial majorifies of their
memberships had voted for accept
ance Of the proposed agreement on
wage compensations to offset cost
Of-living increases.
Of the 1891 union members
who voted on the proposal, 71.19eo
were in favor, and 28.81% against.
With this decisive vote, the
main settlement of proposed wage
adjustments has been brought to
successful conclusion, assuring
labor peace in Norway for anoth-
er year.
President Konrad Nordahl, of the
Norwegian Federation of Labor,
stressed that the wage boosts
would not fully compensate for the
reduction in the workers stand
ard of living resulting from price
rises during the past year. This
reduction in the standard of liv-

This critic would point out that
the nose follows the exact vertical
center line of the print and that
the face and shoulders lie in the
same plane, the effect being too
static. A slight turn Of the Shoul-

A Discussion of Popular Type Comeros

camera can be Gauged to some ex-
tent by its features. For example
the fixed focus lens camera is
naturally not as versatile as those
with variable focus. 1t usually is
fitted with a SLOW speed lens that
is in constant focus at distances
exceeding to feet. To take
pictures closer than this the
photographer has TO use supple
mentary lens attachment. These
fixed focus lenses are fine for the
average snapshot picture.
More expensive cameras will
either have a scale focusing device
or be equipped with range finder.
In scale focusing calibrated
scale on the camera will indicate
the correct setting provided you
are adept at guessing distances.
The range finder Is better II you
are not too accurate at footage
estimating. This gadget has either
a split or Superimposed image pair
that will come together and form
one image when you have the
camera IN focus,
One or more finders may be on
a particular camera. One type Is
the direct frame finder which
consists a slotted metal tab and a
wire frame. Lining up the slot
and the opening of the wire frame
indicates the field OF view. This
type is the best for following
action but is not too good for
close ups because OF parallax
considerations.
Tubular Optical Finder.
Another finder. which is held
at eye level is the tubular optical
finder. This produces clear,
brilliant image and on some
cameras there is an adjustment
that will correct for parallax on
close up shots. The box camera
will have what is known as a waist
level finder and a variation of
this is found on several folding
cameras. 1t is a ground glass that
Is set in the top of the finder for
viewing from above.
Lenses will vary with camera
quality. On box cameras and
some other inexpensive cameras
the meniscus single element lens
is found. A meniscus lens is only
accurate in its center portion thus
necesSitating a stop OF f:8 or fiji.
A better type is the achromatic
two element meniScuS lens having
two elements which are cemented
together and is capable of bring
ing all the colorS Of light than
reflect from the subject into focus
on the fllm. This type lens can
be used for color photography II
there is an abundance OF light
TO compensate for its slow speed.
In the high price field Is the
anastigmat lens which is made Of
several elements and is more
nearly capable OF full correction
than the others. This is the lens
