reaction to q slide set that Is
built up with q few human inter-
est shots to break the monotony
Iof the straight approach. If you
look hard enough you are bound
to find some interesting shots Of
Ichildren, animals, and amusing
situations. Flowers, native to the
countryside through which you
pass on your journey will also
serve as a welcome diversion on
the screen.
Notes Should BE Kept.
AS you take your pictures be
sure to take notes so that you will
be able to identify each picture to
be included in your slide set.
These notes will come in handy
later on when you prepare a COM
Imentary to 60 with the slides.
The commentary will be a neces-
|sity because you will have to
identify the pictures as they are
screened and explain them to your
audience.
The best way to plan your mar
ration is TO write it out in the
form of an illustrated story. Do
not attempt to read or refer to
copious notes during the showing
but instead get your story down
pat so that you can tell 1t easily
as you go along. On the other
hand. have a member of your
family act as a guinea pig. Go
over your script or story as the
slides are shown and repeat this
procedure until you no longer
need to refer to it. If necessary
you can have set Of prompting
cards with a key word or so to jog
your memory to be used in con-
junction with the slides during a
showing. However, the more you
can commit to memory the better,
for your showing will take on a
more professional air at once If
your audience realizes that you
know your subject.
There is no reason why show
ing of slides can't be handled in
the same manner as a motion pic
ture. In the first place you should
edit the slides as you would scenes
to be incorporated in q movie.
cutting out the bad or doubtful
scenes and fitting the remainder
together into an interesting story.
You can also start your show OF
with a title slide. This can be
hand-lettered or picture Of
sign that will identify your locale.
Movie titles can be used as an
other variation and your imagina-
ton will undoubtedly suggest
others.
But whatever else you do. fol-
low our initial suggestion; keep 1t
short. keep 1t interesting. keep it
good, and keep 1t safe.

The Monthly
Print tClinic

Analysis by Harry B. Shaw OF
the Society: Mr.. Gichner mads
this shot with a Speed Graphic
with lens setting at FS and an
exposure of 1850 second. In such
a scene there Is no time to set up
a tripod.
This picture represents one OF
many opportunities afforded BY
Washington's numerous political
and military street parades to OBJ
tain candid camera shots full OF
human interest.
Mr.. Gichner has the eye OF an
experienced news photographer
and a keen sense Of humor which
enable him to recognize pictorial
possibilities Of waySide incidents
and to seize them promptly.
The point Of view yielded an ex-
cellent triangular composition OF
youngsters seated along the curb
in absolutely unstudied poses and
the absence Of self-consciousness.
Consequently the expressions ara
as varied as the ternperaments Of
the lads and lasses depicted. How
ever, their interest is divided.
Those in the foreground had
spotted the photographer in the
act and plainly showed their
amused interest and curiosity
but note their varied expressions.
The gaze Of the girls in the back
ground was not diverted from the
center Of interest in the street.
Again the expressions are strongly
diversified.
The light was very favorable
for such picture-obviously .
bright diffused light prevailed
directional but not harsh-pro-
/ ducing excellent modelling and
freedom from opaque shadows.
The film was developed with
rather too much contrast and the
print should have been made Oh
q softer grade of paper.

anything but exceptionally good
slides. The woods are full of the
other kind and even our best
friends hate to spend an hour
looking at mediocre pictures that
are made worse by bad color
photography. Secondly, be pre-
pared before your audience ar
rives SO that the showing moves
along smoothly. Have the projec-
tor and screen set up and in good
working order. Let the first slide
be in the 'ojector and in sharp
focus so that you can get of to a
good start. Wrap the light cord
around the leg of the table it is
to rest on so that 1t cannot be
dragged of accidentally. And run
the cord along the wall so that
no one will trip over it. Have
enough chairs ready to seat the
audience you expect and so situ-
ate them that they will not be
in the way Of the protector beam.
Leave the lights on until every
one is seated safely. Then of
with the lights and on with the
show.
Keep 1t Short.
Be prepared to give, without
hesitation or reference to volu-
minous notes, . lecture that will
be both ineligible and interest
ing to your audience. Keep the
show short-no longer than an
hour at the most, for no matter
how good the pictures nor how
lively your commentary. people
will tire OF tina affair after the
first hour. One hundred to 125
slides will be ample for an eve
ning's entertainment.
The basis for good set of
color slides is good camera tech
nique plus a plan. We will leave
color photography out of this dis
cussion for We haven't the space
for it. But a careful plan for a
set of slides having a smooth flow
of continuity is a prime requisite.
A haphazard collection of color
shots is worth less than nothing.
II you make a trip through a
foreign country shoot plenty Of
transparencies but try to have
each one At into a pattern or
story. Don't be afraid to shoot
extra shots on important scenes.
The reason for this will become
more readily apparent when you
find that a number of your pic
lures do not come UP to expecta-
tions.
Don't count too heavily on
scenic shots although these may
well be the basis of your slide
travelogue. No matter how beau
tiful the scenes may be you will
find a more favorable audience

Camera Angles
How to Make and Show Color Slides Effectively
~ Alexander ]. Wedderburn
curofor Of Photography
The Smithsonian institution

You can make friends or drive
them away with your collection
of color slides. It all depends on
the character Of your collection
and how effective your method Of
presentation. II the pictures are
well made and effectively pre-
|sented you may be assured that
they will be accepted as welcome
means OF entertainment. If not
people will be bored to tears.
Few things can be as annoying
as the slide show" as put on by
someone who doesn't know his
stun. Let's take a typical example ;.
You arrive at the home of your
camera pal for what you expect
to be a perfectly harmless visit
but. alas, he. beaming with en-
thusiasm. announces that he Is
prepared to show you his collec-
ton Of color slides.
Dismayed but undaunted you
agree (for what else can you do?)
and are led away to the darkened|
room which is all ready and wait
ing. and, as you enter.-promptly
fall on your face. Tripped by the
projectors light cord. which has
been carelessly stretched across
the floor, you lie there for the full
count of ten and do q "slow burn.
In the meantime your profusely
apologetic buddy lifts the sham
bles of the protector from your
PROSTATE form. But the show must
go on. So. after barking your
shins on a couple of chairs that
have been lurking In the semi
gloom, you finally get settled down
to see the show.
Everything Can Go Wrong.
Then the fun really begins.
You have been expecting things
to 60 wrong and they do. First,
the protector light won't 60 on.
After several minutes delay while
switches are thrown. fuses in
spected and projection bulbs
changed, some one remembers
your mishap and 1t is discovered
that the plug was pulled out of
the wall. With light restored to
the protector, your friend dis
covers that he must focus the
machine and that the screen must
be moved up a foot or so. Then,
with all in readiness, you are
told the slide set will illustrate q
trip. made by this acquaintance
of yours, through the Rockies.
The first slide on the screen shows
two coolies carrying an empty |
sedan chair. Halfway through |
his description Of a mountain
scene the person discovers his
whizzes the picture of
the screen and starts paving
through the slides to find the |
right one.
Finally. after looking at a I
jumbled mess of off-color slides,
made the more confusing by q
cropping. uncertain lecture. you
stalk out of the house of your
to return.
Be Prepared. /
Any or all Of these things can |
happen to the people who are
enough to witness a slide |
by a photographer who |
is actually not prepared. Sounds /
a bit dangerous for what should |
be a quiet evenings entertain
ment, but it represents an actual
which I, personally, /
witnessed and have seen happen |
at other times with slight varia- /
tions.
Our advice, then is: Don't show

FIRING WARNING

O. A. Alderman, chief of the
Ohio Division of Forestry, wishes
to remind Ohio citizens that the
fall forest fire season is now in
full swing, and that extreme care
should be exercised to prevent
damage to Ohio's forests and
wildlife from this destructive
source.
The extremely dry summer
months have increased the haZ.

utmost care when smoking in the
woods and fields.
Rural residents in organized
forest fire protection districts are
reminded that burning permits
are required for outdoor fires
during October and November.
Some 38 counties, largely in
southern and eastern Ohio, are

Steer Club Plans
Membership Drive

A campaign drive to enlarge
membership in the Ottawa Coun-
ty All Steer Club has been an
nounced by Joan Lohr, Elmore,
president of the club.
Miss Lohr says All steer pro-
jects are year round enjoyment
and prove very educational. In
addition the projects do make
money which is important to
young people wanting to start
farming.
According to rules of the club
the steers must be on feed by
January 1, 1852. They must not
weigh more than 500 pounds at
that date. Meetings are held
once each month throughout the
year for study on feeding, etc.
AS a part of the membership
drive all banks and credit agen-
cies have been contacted about
loaning money to All members
to purchase steers. Several banks
have agreed to loan money pro-
viding parents sign the notes.
These organizations include the
Oak Harbor State Bank, Oak Har-
Dor; American Bank, Port Clin.
ton; Black Swamp Production
Credit, Genoa.
Anyone desiring to join the OF.
tawa County All Steer Club
should contact the president or
County Agent, Fred 7. Grimm.

Quick Tricks
For Baking

All of us like to "swap" re-
cipes and try new things. Many
of you have tried Mrs. Croll's
graham cracker dessert or Mrs.
Peters cherry pudding in recent
weeks. It's fun to try new meth
ods of doing things too, so l
hope to share a few quick tricks
with you.
The making of holiday cookies
will be starting before you know
it. Use salt shaker to sprinkle
colored sugar on for that final
festive touch.
Keep recipe cards clean by
spreading a thin coat of shellac
on each card. The result is a
smooth surface which you can
wipe with a damp cloth.
When sitting dry ingredients
for baking use square of wax
paper rather than a bowl. This
saves washing that extra bowl.
If your recipe calls for melted
fat use your baking pan to melt
it. This is another dish washing
saver.
Packing cake is usually a
problem. Sprinkle wax paper
with powdered sugar before wrap
ping the cake. This helps to keep
the frosting on the cake not the
paper.

Reading Wonen's
Minds Not Long
Suit Of Gra11qers

Did you ever try to read a
Woman's mind? Don't try-it is
an impossible task. Harry Shid-

dali, Jack Jensen, Emery Rice,
Gerald Blatt, Lloyd Peters and
Charles Taylor tried this at the
Pomona Grange meeting held at
Locust Point, Saturday evening,
Oct. 13 and only succeeded in
exposing some of their own
shortcomings. To say that their
efforts in recalling what they are
nagged or heckled most abol.t
were amusing to the audience
would be putting it mildly.
First winner of Duroc Jersey
was Bob Randall when he was the
first of the group to recall that
one of his wife's favorite T. V.
programs is the James Melton
show.
Emery Rice rated highest on
correct answers-in fact it could
be said that he "stole the show
as clues are unnecessary for a
man who apparently uses mir
ror to read his better half's
thoughts.
Frank Kardatzke won the third
pig for recalling that his culinary
artists Roast Chicken and Dress
