With the development of prac.
teal cameras for use under
water. the Navy has sought out
rew Photographic possibilities
through the work of a team oil
swimmer photographers attach
ed to the Naval Photographic
Center. Washington, D. C. Fol-
some months an officer, LCDR
Charles A. Hooper who is an
expert swimmer, and a group Of
three enlisted men carried out
n number of experiments in the
waters off the Nirgin Islands and
later from favorable location,
war Key West, Florida. Thus
FAR the team has concentrated
in testing and evaluating under
water equipment and has record
ed the movements of such under
sea objects as the hull of ship
or submarine. In addition,
training films have been made
on explosive ordnance disposal
and mine disposal and on under
water swimming and photogra-
ply. Most of the underwater
rAenes for the first "Navy Log"
television program, featuring the
work of an underwater demoli-
ton team, were taken by this
group.
BY the activities and research
of this team, the Navy is now
able to analyze the previously
unobtainable or obscure data to
be gathered from beneath the
surface of the sea. New interest
has been arousd in this vital
0ld since the underwater pho
Geographic team has begun to
record underwater situations that
formerly could only be reported
through human vision and
memory.
The team is a unit that needs
little more than logistic support
to carry out a Photographic task.
Requests for the services of the
team have been received from
Naval activities such as the Blu
TVdu of Ships, Bureau of Ord
nance, Bureau of Aeronautics
and the David Taylor Model
Basin. When assigned to a task
the team takes its own equip
ment and sets up shop aboard a
ship or station especially as
signed to support the operation.

men are well qualified photo,

the opportunity to increase their
skill in a new medium. The men
who have served at one time

enthusiasm and love for their

swimmer to equalize pressure and
protect such sensitive parts of
the head as the eardrums and
the eyes. Although there is no
microphone in the mask, the
swimmers can hear team-mate
yell up to a distance of about
20 feet, and tapping on the air
bottle is an effective way to gain
immediate attention. On special
occasions, the leader of the team
may write messages on a board

Biography, designed the case for
the aquaflex, which is a conven-
tional but unusually compact
motion-pictore camera. A wide
angle lens is used in the under
sea world as the environment
tends to reduce the view down to
that of a standard lens under
normal shooting conditions. The
aquaflex uses either 35 nm black
and white or color movie film.
Some color motion pictures have
also been made on 16 nm Koda-

for preliminary conferences in

Wattles already had bought 100
acres in Mercer County to establish
his manual training school for col
ored boys and at his own expense,
and had operated the school there
until November IL, 1912. 1t was then
when he sold it all to the Emlen
Foundation and was appointed by
its trustees to superintend and run
the enterprise. So came into being
the Enlen Colony in Mercer County.
The colored settlement there num-
bered several hundred persons and
they were engaged chiefly in agri-
culture, their farms mostly being in
Granville, Franklin and Mercer town.
ships. The settlement was nothing to
complain about-it bore a good rep
utation for morality and showed "a
laudable desire for mental improve
ment''.
Life went along evenly in and "a
round the Emlen Colony until Judge
Leigh, in 1886, bought 5000 acres in
the settlement for the freed slaves
of John Randolph, of Roanoke. The
Judge, like Randolph, lived in Vir-
ginia. About 400 of the Randolph
freedmen moved into the colony in
summer, 1886, but were forcibly pre-
vented from making settlement
there by some of the inhabitants of
other parts of the county. Mercer
County declared that it had too many
Negroes as it was.
After that acts of hostility began
against the colored colonists at Emlen
and dire threats were made against
them as to what was to happen il
they did not abandon their lands and
homes and move away.
Most of the Negroes left and the
Emlen school and settlement were nc
more. By 1882 however, it had beer
learned that a great many of tho
Randolph slaves had formed settle
ment and still were living at Monte
yuma, Franklin Township, just soutf
of the reservoir.

len, most apparently had moved int

The Emlen Colony

In winter, 1S33-1S34, the Negroes
wherever they were north of the Ma
son-Dixon line, were having a bad
time economically and in every other
way. About 1900 of them then were
in Cincinnati, mostly freedmen who
had been liberated by their owners
or who had worked hard, saved
and had bought their own freedom.
Having been slaves nearly all of them
were ignorant, shiftless and shut out
from all avenues of moral or mental
improvement.
It was about that time when Aug
ustus Wattles, "a philanthropic,
Christian-like, Connecticut yankee
arrived in the town and noticed the
poverty and degradation of the color
ed people there. He started a school
for them and kept it going with about
200 pupils for two years.
Besides teaching the school Wattles
circulated among the Negroes In an
attempt to line them up for MI
grafton out of the city and away from
the communicating influences" which
SO long had crushed them and into
a haven of their own. They promised
to accompany him if he would go
along and teach school there.
The white man Travelled through
Canada, Michigan and Indiana seek
ing some suitable place for the Negro
colony and finally settled on tract
in Mercer County, Ohio, where he
bought for himself and with what
money the Negroes had been able to
give him, ground for them. His first
purchase was made in 1885 and by
1888 the Negroes owned nearly 10000
acres there.
While this was going on Augustus
Wattles travelled into nearly every
neighborhood where Negroes lived IN
the state, advocating permanent
homes. education and the advantages
of colonization. On such trips he es
