NUMISMATIC NOTES

The former British Gold
Coast colony, which became
independent early this month
as Ghana. got its original
name from the gold it pro-
duced as early as the 18th cen
tury.
Its location along the Gulf
of Guinea on the west coast of
Africa also made it a center of
the lucrative slave trade.
British influence gradually
extended. inland. The warlike
Ashanti were defeated in 1874
and their territories taken
under British protection. Later
the Northern Territories were
added.
Coins were struck in 1895 by
the African Company of the
Gold Coast. They come in four
denominations - one ackey,
half ackey, quarter ackey and
takou. All are Of silver and of
similar design.
The diverse shows the royal

their red glow as the sunlight
passes through.
Squirrels are excellent cam
era subjects but are extremely
wary creatures in the wild
state and difficult to approach.
At any strange sound the
squirrel will scoot around the
trunk of a tree and remain
out Of sight until he thinks
danger is past.
Wait for a Model
The best way may be to find
yourself a likely spot in the
woods and simply sit down on
a stump or log and wait. II
squirrels are in the area they
will begin to move around only
when they are entirely satisfied
that no danger tyoul is pres
ent. When one approaches
close enough to take his picture
raise and aim your camera
with extreme slowness or the
subject will become alarmed
and run. The click of the shut
ter will usually be enough to
scare him away, but by then
you should have the snapshot
safely on film.
Another way TO go about it
is to take along a bird dog or
hound and catch your subjects
on the run. Even this calls for
some knowledge of the habits
of a driven animal, so you can
post yourself in a likely place
to snap its picture as it runs

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. J. WEDDERBURN
Curator OF Photography
The Smithsonian Institution


Taking pictures of wildlife
is one Of those fascinating
aspects of photography that
many seem to have missed.
There is all of the fun Of the
chase without the bloodletting
that usually goes with hunting.
Now we are not talking about
an African safari with all the
expense that most people as
sociate with such an adven-
ture but a purely local junket
into the nearby woodlands of
the Metropolitan Area.
For a fact the countryside
within easy driving distance
Of the city abounds with small
game Of all sorts that will test
your ingenuity and skill with
a camera. Few city folks are
aware of this for. as they
breeze along the highways n
their cars. they seldom glimpse
the wild creatures that popu-
late the woods and fields along
the wayside.

Most of the wild animals
INDECENT to this area are easy
to photograph in their natural
state IL you have even a fair
knowledge of their habits. 1t
should be a cinch for those
who go out each fall with
gun and dogs, for hunters

ence what TO expect.
The inexperienced woods
man can quickly learn through
trial and error or better yet
by reading up on the habits
Of local birds and animals.
And there are quite a few
at that. Among those mos
frequently found hereabouts
are the rabbit. the fox,
squirrel, opossum, racoon.
skunk, grounding. partridge
and chipmdnk. Farther afleld
but still within easy reach are
wild turkeys, deer, black bear.
grouse and pheasant. among
others.
Now none Of these is con-
sidered dangerous. The aver
age wild animal is a timid soul
and seeks only to escape an
encounter with man. Just
about the only fright you'll
ever get will be when a rabbit.

some cases the basic design
