body Of the machine.
Color Photography
The coming of color photog-
raphy is described and the
famed Hess-Ives color camera
and an early device for view
ing color stereographs Is part
Of the exhibition. It is seen that
color photography started out
on glass plates and worked its
way forward eventually to the
flexible film now In general
use.
4 1t will be seen that the mini
ature camera was the out
growth of a trend to make the
camera as small and .unob-
trusive as possible. Before
photography came into general
use the camera was a great
curiosity and a photographer
drew much unwanted atten-
ton when he set up his bulky
equipment. Recognizing this,
camera manufacturers began
TO conceal them in such 1nno-
cent appearing objects as
dummy books. opera glasses,
physicians bags. and the like.
This naturally required a
diminution Of the film size and
quite logically and naturally
these small instruments led to
the 35-mm. and smaller size
miniature cameras that are so
popular with the modern cam
era fan.

Early Controversy Oyer Exaet Christmas Bate

The origin of many of our Christmas customs can be traced back to prehistoric times, with some pagan customs being modi- fled to fit into the Christian ob- seryances.
 Even today, while December 25 IS almost universally celebrated as Christmas, some countries, such as Armenia, celebrate it on January 6, the Epiphany, or spir- itual birth of Jesus.
 There was considerable contro- versy in the early days of Chris tianity as to whether the physical birth or the spiritual birth should be celebrated. And those who be- lieved the spiritual birth should be celebrated even disagreed among themselves about the date, some holding that it took place on March 25, others that it oc- cured on December 25. .,
 The theologians finally agreed upon December 25 as the correct date and such has been celebrat- ed since the year 354.
 The first Christmas cards were mailed in 1846 by Henry Cole, an Englishman. The cards depict ed a Victorian family assembled at the festive board and bore the now-famous greeting: "A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you"
