too many problems involved.
Nevertheless a design was
prepared in orange and black.
Somewhere along the line
the idea of printing in black
on orange paper came up.
When paper company officials
were consulted they recon-
mended a light clay coating
as likely to produce a more
uniform background color
than any available dye proc
ess. They promised a paper
not noticeably thicker or more
brittle than the regular sup
ply.
A number OF countries have
used colored paper for stamps,
usually for such unitarian
purposes as distinguishing be-
tween denominations or dis
couraging chemical cleaning Of
stamps for reuse. But in some
cases. as in Romania's new

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. j. WEDDERBURN
Curator of Photography,
The Smithsonian Institution

Photography, like the Topsy
of Uncle Toms Cabin" Just
"growed."
There is still an erroneous
belief that photography should
be attributed to the invention
of an Observation-Disclosures is
usually tapped for the honor.
Actually the camera and the
basis for the Photographic
process have been around
since the beginning Of time.
1t Just took man until 1889
to figure it all out.
Without shadow Of doubt
the camera made its bow on
the first day light found its
way to the earth.
Many centuries later, the
ancients observed a natural
phenomenon and dubbed it
camera obscura. meaning
dark room. They noticed that
any enclosure, fully dark eX-
cept for a small opening or
aperture through which light
rays passed from a scene on
the outside. could reflect on a
wall opposite the aperture a
faithful duplicate of that scene
but inverted and reversed.
Euclid and other ancientS
described this phenomenon.
The Arabs made first use of the
camera as a means for study
ing eclipseS. Their camera
probably was a tent with a hole
cut at just the right spot to
allow the image of the eclipse
to strike an opposite wall.
Any natural darkened en-
closure such as a cave with
a small hole to admit light
would have served as a camera.
And since light dawned there
we're many such natural fore
runners of the modern stream
lined machine we use to take
pictures. So the camera, like
an egg before the chicken, was
there all the time.
FOrereunner of Protector
AS the centuries rolled by
the camera served various
masters. AS early as the 18th
century a variation Of the
camera was used to mystify
and terrify the uninitiated.
Fully equipped now with lens
this device had also lamp at
the rear and hand painted
slides within and was used to
throw ghostly images on a
screen. AS will be recognized
instantly this was a develop
ment that later evolved as our
modern lantern slide and mo-
ton picture projectors.
Later the camera shrank
from its early full room size
to a comparatively small box
and was used by artists who
traced the picture image with
pen or pencil to produce life
like scenes.
Just when the thought first
occurred to fix the cameras
image is not known. But, like
the camera itself, the fact
that light has the power to
record images by means of
chemical changes has been
known to man for many
centuries.
There are recorded ohserva-
tons by the ancients that If
the white underground stalk
of plant be exposed to the
sun 1t would turn green like
the part above ground.
1t was likewise noted at a
very early date that sunlight
affected the color of the skin

Your doctor will advise about your

don't have to think of the baby'S
schedule or arrange for a sitter
every time you want to go out. Have
lot Of fun together.
Take plenty of rest during the day
so that you'll be ready to go out in
the evening when occasion arises. Plan
your Sundays to be as free as possible
of cooking and homework, so that you
can relax and enjoy together activities
time can't be found for during the week.
1t is jollier to go out of doors for
walks or gardening or sightseeing if
you have some one to do these things
with. By taking advantage of these
months you can cement a firm and
close companionship that your neces-
sary absorption with the baby later
on won't damage.
Prepare to Be Father
Many husbands feel a little hurt
and neglected when the baby makes
such insistent demands on their wives
time and attention. If they have been
prepared for this, and realize that love
is perfectly capable of expanding to
include two, they are going to be
amused by their jealous twinges, if
any. These are far less likely to occur
if husbands are made to feel, before
the baby is born, that getting ready
to be a father is just as important as
preparing to be mother.
Read with your husband about how
the baby is developing. He will be in
no danger of feeling that he is ''for-
gotten man. if he keeps up to date on
what is happening
Insure Health
How can 1 insure my health? Your
food becomes vastly important mat
ter. Now nature takes what she wants
out of your body for the baby-it's up
to you to look after your own nourish-
ment! It's not necessarily that you
need to eat much more, but that you
need to eat more wisely than you per-
hapS have before Your diet must be
varied enough so that there is an ample
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-10-01

moderation if you're getting all the
protective foods you need, but foods
rich in sugar, fat, or both may add to
your weight and may upset your di-
gestion, too, so go slow, on them.
Have lean meat, fish, or poultry
every day if you can, and liver once a
week. These, with eggs, cheese and
milk, furnish the building materials for
your baby's body and keep yours in
good repair. Whole-grain or enriched
bread or cereals, with their valuable
minerals, vitamins, and protein, should
be on your list every day.
Milk Is Important
Is milk really so important? Nothing
can take the place of milk as a "quali-
ty'' food. There are many ways to get
the daily quart in addition to drinking
1t. However, in many foods prepared
with milk you get only a relatively
small amount. If you drink 2 or 8
glasses day, and use milk generously
IN cooking, your intake should be a
quart day.
A IA inch Of cheese yields as much
Bodybuilding material as a cup of
milk. Cook your whole-grain or en-
rlched cereal in milk instead of water
and see how much it adds to the flavor.
Often serve desserts made with milk
SherbetS. ice cream, rice pudding. Just
remember that milk is an invaluable
food at this time.
whether you use dried or canned
milk, or fresh pasteurized milk. it will
be well worth whatever it may cost.
Skim milk has all the elements of
whole milk that makes it so valuable
Tor building muscles, bones and teeth,
but less fat and vitamin A. both of
which you can get from butter or for
tilted margarine.
The milk you use will add TO your
intake of fluids, too. Because your body
must get rid of the baby's waste pro-
ducts, as well as your own, LIQUIDS are
an absolute must" Part of this re-
qulrement can be in the form of tea
and coffee and fruit juices, but having
a quart of milk a day will make it
less necessary for you to have it on
your mind to down all those glasses
OF water that used to be recommended.
Drink as much water as you like, of
course, but don't make a sacred duty
OF 1t. To keep bowels open is very
necessary, and water helps there.

50 Uon re Going
70 Have q Rabu

50 YOU'RE GOING to have babyl
How lucky you are to be having your
child at a time when the care an ex-
pectant mother now gets makes preg-
nancy safer. That matter of your care
before the baby's birth makes all the
difference. You'll be careful enough of
that baby once he's here! Well, he
needs to be taken care of before he's
born, too, and the best way to do that
is to take care of yourself.
When shall 1 go to the doctor? The
answer is from the very first. It's easy
to put off going to the doctor, but it
doesn't pay. You can write all your
questions down as they pop into your
mind and take them with you when you
go to your doctor or to the clinic, and
not have to fall back on friends or rel
atives whose information may be out
of date, or at best is based on their
own limited experience.
Your doctor will want to see you once
month, in order that he may check
up on your blood pressure and make
other examinations. AS pregnancy pro-
crosses it becomes important to do this
often, so after the sixth month he'll
probably want you to come in every
two weeks and, during the last month,
every week. By this careful check he
will recognize any early abnormal synp-
toms or signs that require care and
will be able to plan treatment if this
is needed.
Final Check
Your last visit to the doctor will be
after the baby is born, when he will
want to check up to see that all is well.
Does nine months seem a long time
to wait? Many women look and feel
their best during the latter months of
pregnacy. Look their best!'' you saw.
Yes, their skin is clear and bright.
their appetite good, they sleep well and
their happy frame of mind contributes
to their appearance.
Your figure won't exactly please YOU.
but a lot can be done about that. too.
If you have a well-fitted foundation
garment, and plan your clothes well
you won't feel so awkward. If you have
never worn girdle you probably will
not need to use one now.
Be sure to wear the right shoes. They
can be pretty, but to help YOU look
your best they must be comfortable.
Your increased weight makes it adj
visable to wear shoes that give YOU
real support. If you have been wearing
high heels, make the change to low
heels gradual or they may cause you
discomfort.
Husbands Role
You ask how can my husband share
in the planning? After the baby comes
you and your husband will find it sur
prisingly natural always to think first
of the baby's needs. Before his arrival.
