How to Proceed With Titles


Now to review some Of the
ways by which the home movie
fan can make his titles with a
minimum of fuss and bother.
There are a number of ways
to go about titling your
films-some simple and others
a bit more complicated. There
is the commercial titling out
fit. complete with letters and
assembly board. Then there
are hand-lettered titles, print
ed card titles and signboards
or billboards on location that
can be used for this purpose.
Even such things as ami
mated titles. moving scroll
titles. double-exposed titles
and special-effect titles en-
ploying the well-known modi-
f1cationS of dissolves, wipes
and fades are within easy
reach of most home movie
makers.
The commercial titler. which
can be purchased at any
camera store, is as easy as
pie to work With. You just
decide what wording you wish
to use. set up the letters on
the titling board and copy the
title with your movie camera.
Title board and camera
should be perfectly square with
one another. The floodlamps
should be placed on either side
of the title board so as to
provide an even illumination
and at the same time so di-
rected as to avoid reflections
into the camera lens. The
exposure should be exactly
determined by exposure me-
ter-never by guesswork. Also
be sure to avoid parallax
errors. Many finders are
marked so fine adjustments
can be made for parallax when
shooting closeups.
Now, if you are skillful with
a pen. you may decide to try
hand-lettered titles as a more
effective way of fitting. Words
of the title may be inscribed in
ink on a plain card or
meaningful still picture of
some scene in the film can
serve as the background for
your lettering. The more elab-
crate type title is most suitable
for the main or lead title while
the plain titles should be used
when needed between scenes.
Another simple way to title

SOMETHING FOR THE BIRDS

Editor, The Citizen:
Tread from time to time how fine folks write to
you dear editor about different subjects. Some of
great interest May also be permitted to write to you
item which may interest the family of readers of
our fine Key West Citizen.
would like to make suggestion to our lovely city
of Key West citizens. know they all very fond of
our lovely Key West much as am, and should all
be proud of lovely Key West with all its good features
and with all the beautiful things blessed with such
as natural and climate and natures gifts as
flowers plants trees and FORTH which many other
cities of this size do not possess. a.s
We are still lacking of Gods gifts to help enter
tain and beautfy humanity. This is Birds" Yes We do
have some Birds but not could have, more
singing birds and birds of different coors My idea
the for that is because birds do not get enough
sweet water to drink and battle in Birds like to battle
sweet water. Birds need to drink sweet water.
My suggestion, if may be permitted to suggest is
for property to install drinking basins with sweet
water in their yards and lawns with fresh drinking water
and change the water from time to time in the basins up
high where the cats can't get the birds and in this way
will invite lots birds to lovely city Let us
continue beautying out Gods gifted fine city Let's also
have brides
Thank you, dear editor.

The airlines would pay the Navy
for use of Boca Chica.
The county commissioners would
not be in a continuous agrument
with National Airlines.
The county commissioners
wouldn't be constantly dunning
dunning NAL for bills owned for
the use of the field.
And National could fly any piece
of equipment the company owns
into Boca Chica.
The field is lighted for night op.
erations and the runways are long
enough to take any commercial
plane.
National already has said it
would like to extend its New York
- Miami coach flight to Key West.
National could do this at Boca
Chica but not at Meacham.
NAL also has said it is selling
the present IA passenger planes
the line operates between Miami
and Key West.
The line wants to fly A passen-
ger Convairs here, including a
night flight.
That's impossible at Meacham
now.
In all the wrangling between
NAL and the county that l have
listened to, l never have heard a
commissioner suggest that the
county fold Meacham and get out
of the airport business.
Think it over, commissioners.
Maybe it is the best and quick
est way out of the airport mess.

The police department is begin
ming to show a semblance of or
ganization.
Their system of keeping records
has been revamped and greatly ex-
panded.
But the biggest advance they
made was when they decided to
institute a training program. First
step was to send Patrolman Her
man Conley to the Traffic Institute
conducted by Northwestern Univer.
sity in Evanston, Ill. The course
was set up to outline the role Of
the police in traffic supervision and
accident prevention. Subjects var
led from accident investigation
and directing traffic to records
systems and court cases.
Conley is back in Key West after
completing the three-week course
with a lot of information he is
passing on to his fellow officers.
Now, if the FBI could be pre-.
vailed on to resume their training
course for the entire department
we'd have a first rate corps oi
gendarmes.

than to guess, to understand
rather than to speculate.
If he is successful in that en-
deavor, he will then come to know
as a fact of experience" as our
friend Stephen would phrase it
that the only truly pathetic aspect
of the poem is the tragic fact that
there are so few in the world who
can say in truth, This man
knows, even as / know. 1t is true
for him as it is for me, just as it
is for all men who have sought God
and found Him"
Bill might also come to know an
end to wondering about the objec-
tive of Mysticism, for it is just
possible that by taking those steps
it may be revealed to him that the
objective he wondered about is an
Objective-the alteration and wor-
ship of which, in spirit and in
truth, is God Himself. And then
there is always the possibility that
clarified insights and an illumined
understanding might draw him ir-
restibly to recognition Of the fact
that his greatest need, the un-
quenchable but previously unrecog-
nized yearning in his breast, is
for God. If this came about he
might then find himself echoing
the words of St. Augustine-"Thou
hast made us for Thyself, and our
hearts are restless It'll they repose
in Thee"
1t would be ironic, but just, II
Bill then found, as many others
have, that in order to meet this
greatest need, to find that for
which his heart yearns, he had tc
place his feet upon that Path which
would make him too, a Mystic.
Sincerely,
DICK SPLAINE.

LIMITED BACKGROUND

Editor, The Citizen:
AS one intimately associated
with Stephen ]. Constant, know
he was appalled, at the way your
columnist integrated a revealed
truth with Bill Gibbs views of
mysticism-views which reveal
all too clearly a limited and un-
enlightened spiritual background.
I believe l know this character
as we'll if not better than Bill
does, and I am equally convinced
that his hope for Bill is that
Light may come to dispel the
darkness Of his mind, and infinite
Wisdom to illuminate his under
standing. To state, as he did.
that the poem is "almost pathetic"
reveals an obviously limited un-
derstanding of metaphysics as
well as mysticism.
Granted that mysticism is
grossly misunderstood and ex-
tnemely difficult to define, one
fact invariably stands out with
remarkable clarity-the mystic is
above all a lover of God, one who
has attained, or who is on the
way to attaining, to spiritual
union-to oneness with God Sin
the heights within as well as the
fullness without" as Aldous Hux-
ley so ably phrased it in hi:
Perennial Philosophy.
For Bill Gibb to say, therefore
that the Poetic expression of ar
intuitive apprehension relative
to that unity, that oneness with
God, is almost pathetic" is, ir
actuality, a pathetic revelation oi
his own dimly perceived insights
I, for one, sincerely hope hat Bill
Gibb will take the steps necessary
to correct them-that he will
through prayer and meditation
cultivate the attitude Of right at
tention ,open-mindedness, humil
ity and that alert passivity which
will permit him to know rather

Let's give Meacham Field back
to the Indians, or whomever the
county bought it from.
The field has been nothing but a
headache and, since Jan. l, the
source of a continuing beef between
the county and National Airllnes.
With the field converted to a min
iature golf course, or at least clos
ed, commercial planes could land
and take off at Boca Chica Ma
val Air Station.
In other instances, where no cl-
william field is available, CONNER
cial airliners are permitted to use
military airportS.
AS it is, National Airlines has
been trying for a Navy okay 10
use Boca Chica.
Boca Chica is a first class field
with plenty of safety equipment
and control tower - none of which
can be said about Meacham.
With all commercial planes go
ing into Boca Chica, the Navy
would have all air traffic in this
area under the thumb of the Boca
Chica tower.
Under that set.up there would be
no chance of collision between MI
litary and civilian aircraft - a pos
sibility which now exists with Mea-
cham and Boca Chica operating so
near each other.
Moving civilian airliners to Bo-
ca Chica would do more to cure
county headaches than a plane
load of aspirin.
The county would be completely
out of the airport business.

Draft Board
HeadResiigns
InPrOtest

BIG SPRING, Tex. R-This west
Texas city's draft board chairman
has resigned because he does not
Ike the life prison sentence meted
out TO Cpl. Claude Bachelor.
Bachelor. p, of Kermit, Tex,
was convicted by a court-martial
at Fl. Sam Houston, Tex, last
week on charges of collaborating
with the enemy and informing on
fellow PoW's while a captive of
the Chinese Reds in Korea.
Draft Board Chairman H. w.
Wright said he did not condone
collaboration with the Communists
but that he thought "brainwash-
ing" and Bachelors youth should
have 'been considered"
Bachelor was one Of q ameri-
cans who chose to stay with the
Reds after the Korean armisties.
Later he and Cpl Edward Dicken-
son of Crackers Neck, Va.
changed their minds and returned
to United Nations control.
Dickinson was tried on charges
similar to those against Bachelor
and given 10 years in prison at
hard labor. He was a prosecu-
ton witness against the Texan.
Wright made public Tuesday a
letter of resignation he sent TO
service director, in Austin, Tex.
il said in part:
my conscience will not let me
be a part of drafting young men
who might later be subject to the
severe punishment that was rem.
dered Cpl. Claude Bachelor.
Although ! cannot tolerate any,
one who would collaborate with
Communists, | am still of the opin-
In that the court did not take in
to consideration that this boy was
only is years old when he enered
military service and that you and
| know that a large per cent Of
the older men could not stand up
under the severe punishment ard
brain washing that the COMMIT
nists are able to force upon their

Specialist Says You Can
Eat The Scales OF Fish

Carey said the taste may not
be so good, but a pound of fish
scales is about 20 per cent more
beneficial than a pound of steak.
He added the fish scales are so
high in food value they could
grow hair on a billiard ball"
He offered other alternatives:
burn the scales in an incinerator
with dry garbage, convert them
into fertilizer, bury them under
some faraway sand dune.

To cur way of thinking, one of
the most worthy charity programs
conducted in our city is the Lions
Club Blind Fund.
Do you realize that there are
eight million children in the United
States in need of eye care. Unless
they receive that care. they may
carry the burden of blindness
throughout their lives.
Some of those children live in
Key West. The Lions Club is pre-
pared to help them. It costs money.
The local club plans their third
annual charity football game De-
cerber 8. Tickets will 60 on sale
shortly and if you want to help
their program for the blind, buy
one.
