STAMPS TELL
A STORY

On March 26, in the midst
Of a parliamentary election
campaign, Ceylon issued a
stamp concentrating rs
years of public service by its
Prime Minister, Sir John Ko-
telawala.
Less than three weeks later
Sir John was an ex-Prime
Minister, continuing his pub
lie service as the leader Of a
badly beaten party holding
only eight Of 95 seats.
Did the stamp influence the
result? 1t is impossible to
say. Perhaps philatelic rec
ignition Of kind usually re-
served for kings and queens
was only a symptom. What
had happened. political OBJ
servers agreed. was that Sir
John and his party had lost
touch with the people.
Kings and queens don't have
to run for reelection. Poll
ticians do.

RATING SPEED OF FILM
The system adopted by the
American Standards Associa-

speed Of photo films is
now used by manufacturers
round the world. Until fairly
recently film speed ratings
were expressed in a number of
ways, and it was hard to COM

TENS. ASA has developed the
first method which fully pre-
scribes a standardized light

basis for the rating is the

which will yield a final print
Of excellent quality. The rat
ing thus derived is called the
ASA exposure index number.
