That's why appeal is so
important. Without it, a
photo that is technically per-
feet will leave the judges
cold; with it, a picture that
falls considerably short of
perfection may cause them to
reach for their checkbookS.
The question is: What is
appeal? Cute babies and
pretty girls, it is generally
recognized, have more appeal
than any other subjects. But
this isn't to say that any
photo Of any cute baby or
pretty girl is a certain prize
winner. Pictures that catch
and hold the judges interest
whether they be of babies,
girls or any other subjects
usually tell simple, easily
understood stories.
The top winner in last
years national awards, for
example, was a snapshot of a
little girl and her pet kitten
asleep side-by-sid in a big
armchair. The story sug-
gested was that the two had
Evening star., 1952-05-25

played together until they
both got so sleepy they
couldn't hold their eyes open.
The previous years big win
ner showed a father blowing
smoke-rings for his baby
while the baby reached hope
fully for the smoke. And the
year before, the top award
was won by a photo of a
couple of mischievous kittens
playing with a pair of dice.
A mistake that many anna
teur snapshooters make is to
pose their subjects doing
nothing more interesting than
staring at the camera. This
sort of pose may be all right
for the family album. but it
doesn't stand the slightest
chance in the contest. Get
your subjects to do something
address a postcard, read a
letter, sing a song, bait a fish,
hook; anything, just so it is
interesting and suggestive of
a story.
That's where the alertness,
imaginativeness and patience
Evening star., 1952-05-25

NOU, TOO, can win a cash
Il prize in The Stars 1852
Amateur Snapshot Contest
if you are reasonably alert,
imaginative and patient and
will observe a few simple rules.
With a bit of luck, you may
even get into the 14th annual
Newspaper National Snapshot
Awards, in which you'll have
a chance to win one of $50
cash prizes ranging from $25
all the way up to $1,000.
First, study the photographs
accompanying this article.
All possess three qualities in
common: (D Photographic
excellence, (2) broad general
appeal, and 90 simplicity.
To achieve quality No. /,
you need not be an expert
photographer. Some of the
best pictures entered in the
contest in the past have been
made by persons with only
average knowledge of pho
Biography. Nor do you need a
high-priced camera and fancy
equipment. Many winning
photos have been produced by
inexpensive box cameras.
Evening star., 1952-05-25

come in. Keep your camera
handy and be alert for
picture possibilities. Use your
imagination to think up
storytelling situations which
you can snap. And have the
patience to take the picture
over and over, from every
conceivable angle, if neces-
sary, until you get precisely
what you want.
A man who has been COM
peting. in The Stars contest
for years and who has won
many prizes, carries his
camera nearly everywhere he
goes. Year before last, while
he was umpiring a baseball
game on the Ellipse, a ball
was hit over the White House
fence. One of the players
retrieved it by reaching a bat
through the iron pickets. The
umpire snapped several pic
lures, but none turned out
satisfactorily.
He persuaded the player to
re-enact the scene in slow
motion while he photographed
Evening star., 1952-05-25

it again from all angles. One
OF the resulting pictures won
prizes totaling $35 in The
Stars contest and went on to
capture a $500 prize in the
national awards!
AS important as anything
else Is observing the rules of
the contest. Many potential
prize winners fail to get any
where simply because the per-
sons submitting them have
neglected to >familiarize them
selves with the rules. For
example, prints larger than
10 inches in their longer
dimension are barred; yet
every year dozens of 11xl4-
inch prints are sent in.
The rules will be found on
today's camera page. Save
them for future reference. In
the meantime, study the pic
lures reproduced herewith
and try to follow the sugges-
tionS offered in this article.
Do all these things, and
you, too, may win a cash prize
in The Stars conteSt-and
may even share In the
$4,000 national awards.

Farmers Are Entitled
10 q Foir. Full Share

The foundation for a healthy
agriculture in this country is
not more partisan Washington
farm programs. 1t is not more
Brannan plans. What we need
is to start from here and
build a better program based
on more farmer participa-
ton and more Federal, State
farmers Of America are entitled
to their fair. full share Of the
national income.
And under your new admins
tration they will get it.
But farmers and particularly
Southern farmers know how
closely their prosperity is tied
to foreign trade. Much of what
Southern farmers produce goes
into foreign markets.
I believe that while we talk
about economic interdependence
within America, we must never
lose sight of the fact that essen
tial economic interdependence
increases year by year as our
need for raw materials grows, as
science increases our agricul-
tural yield, and as the looming
menace of Russian Communist
Imperialism makes 1t impera-
tive that we should have not
weak, but healthy and strong

Will Always Resist
Federal Encroochment

Here are my reasons:
First. I deplore and I will al.
ways resist Federal encroach-
ment upon rights and affairs Of
the States.
Second. I am gravely con-
cerned over the threat to the
States inherent in the growth of
this power hungry movement.
Third, the resources of these
submerged areas. though still
owned by the States, will be
available for Americas defense
in time Of national emergency.
Fourth, the orderly develop
ment of these resources under
the States need not interfere
with any valid Federal function.
Fifth. I believe the law twice
passed by Congress which would
recognize these State titles is
in keeping with basic principles
OF honest dealing and fair play.
These things are important
they are vital, in government
as well as private dealings.
This problem like many 9TH
ers, Is too important for strictly
partisan handling. The bipar-
tisan approach to American well
fare has been most clear in our
bipartisan foreign policy but it
has also been at work in other
less conspicuous ways. And in
one particular instance, it was
at work for the direct benefit of
the farmers of Louisiana. I am
referring to the sugar act of
1948, a bipartisan act of Con-
gress.
BY law, the Secretary of Agri-
culture is responsible for the
fair administration of this act,
How fairly has he protected the
welfare of your sugar farmers
and farm workers? While the
price of the sugar they work so
hard to grow and process has
fallen the cost of everything
they have had to buy had risen
fantastically. They, like all the
rest Of us, have been caught in
this squeeze,
