Quick Knockout

The slim 81 per cent in
favor of waging a preventive
war against Russia felt that
today's mass destruction wea-
pons gave a decided If not
conclusive advantage to the at
tacker. The thought was. in
general. that whoever gets of
the first hydrogen bomb hay
maker is bound to win by a
quick knockout.

Perhaps the major objection
that most teen-agers we con-
tacted in 81 cities across the
land had to a preventive war
concerned the outcome Of such
a war.
Could we win a war against
Russia today?
This question on our survey,
submitted to more than $50
youngsters, brought some sur
prising answers.
The generation that may
have to do the fighting is not
at all sure how things would
come out.

WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE THINK
Teens Against Preventive War
By EUGENE GILBERT
Gilbert Youth Research Co.

Should we wage a preventive
war against Russia?
Not on your life-or anyone
else's--say 70 per cent of the
NatioAs teen-agers.
Today's high schoolers, who
undoubtedly would be tomor-
rows fighting men in event OF
war, insist that regardless OF
the world situation the United
States should never assume the
role of aggressor.
Its against all the precepts
of our country for us to attack
another nation" said 15-year-
old Mary Lynn Harmon Of At
lanta. We've been brought up
to believe in peace. not war. as
the answer"
Many Of those opposed to
preventive war cited our his
toric position of waiting for the
enemy to strike the first blow
before going to war as evil

LuSitania.
What would we tell our
children?" asked 17-year-old
Gene Becker of Minneapolis.

thought, eff any of us survived

eras Of all kinds improve with
usage. Forget them in a CLOSET
and they are more likely to gel
dirty, clog and jam.
Keep your camera in q
field or carrying case; they'll
help protect the camera from
extra knocks. Jars and bumps.
Also remember to wear the
neck strap Of your camera
around the neck where 1t be-
longs. Then, If you accidental

Another suggestion Is to
brush and blow the dust
from the inside of your
camera periodically. This viii
prevent the dust from ac-
cumulating inside to cause

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Our Gold Coins-l6

In 1907 a new half eagle
design. engraved by John
Reich after drawings by Per-
sico, was adopted. 1t features
a female bust facing left,
wearing a soft round cap with
LIBERTY" inscribed on the
band. Seven stars are shown
before the bust and six be-
hind it. The date appears
beneath.
The eagle on the reverse
also shows a changed design.
There are no stars or clouds
above its head and the motto
"E PLURIBUS UNUM" APP
pears on a scroll arching
between the eagles wings.
Surrounding the eagle is
the inscription UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA" with
IS d" beneath to indicate the
denomination.
This type was issued every
year from 1907 through 1912.
In 1913 the bust of Liberty
was modified to a rather
large head surrounded by a
continuous row of Is stars.
The reverse was not changed.
This type was issued
through 1884 and includes
most Of the great rarities Of
the IS gold series. Not more
than five to ten specimens Of
the dates 1915, 1919, 1924,
1923. 1929 and 1882 have sur
vived. Rarest of the series.
however. is the 1922 half
eagle of which only three spe-
cimens are known. One Of
these is on display at the
Smithsonian Institution.
In 1906 william Forester
Durham paid a record $2.l65
for an 1922 S. gold piece at
the Harlan P. Smith sale. A
year or two later j. P. Nor
gan offered $4,000 for it. Mr.
Durham refused to sell.

~ ISA ~ eASN
with your indoor fash shots,
you may find Q way for bet
. ter results in bounce fash"
! With the flash aimed right at
the subject sometimes ex-
cessive contrasts. frozen ex-
pressions and burnt out IA
cial details result. BY using
the flash indirectly by bounc-
ing 1t OF walls or ceiling,
much or all Of this trouble
will vanish.
For natural, relaxed look
ing pictures try this photo
graphic lighting technique
and direct the light up to-
ward the ceiling rather than
toward the eyes Of the sub
ject This produces q soft,
gentle type of illumination
which is quite flattering
when a person is the subject
of your snapshot.
Here are a couple Of ways
to accomplish bounce light
ing. First, you can leave
the flash on the camera, II
you wish, but aim the re-
Hector towards the ceiling or
wall. Another way is to place
the flash on an extension to
get the light source nearer
q rejecting surface.
To free your hands for the
camera you can mount the
extension unit on q step
/ ladder or some piece Of furn-
e iture that is high enough for
the purpose.
Danger in the Tub
The bathroom, with its
many rejecting surfaces is a
good place to make pictures
of the kids by the bounce
flash method but be sure
never to use floods here be-
cause of the danger of a
light stand topping into a
water filled bathtub and
causing an electrocution.
- Not all exposures will be
Rllke when using bounce
: flash. They will vary, depend
ing on the distance from the
subject to ceiling or wall,
and the distance from the
flash from the rejecting sur
face.
Assuming that your ceiling
is light in color and is from
8 to IL feet high, and with
the light within four feet Of
the ceiling, you might try a
shot of f/6.3 at a speed Of
J; Nl00th with a fast pan film.
Should your camera operate
only at a synch speed Of
l/25th with flash, stop the
lens opening down to I'll.
These exposure guides are
given only to get you started.
The trial method will give
you the best answers. So vary
your exposures on the first
roll, using the bounce light
method and keep notes. Then,
after you have q look at the
!. negatives you will have q
definite answer ready for your
next attempt.
The bounce light method il
not restricted to fash photo
eraphy, but can also be used
with fioodlamps. Whichever
type Of light you use, the SIM
pie act Of having the light
aimed elsewhere but at the
subject will tend to put him al
ease. Otherwise the subject
tends to set himself" for the
fash or automatically squint
a bit against the floodlamp. By
using the bounce way you vii
keep the subject at ease.
Care for Cameras
II you take good care Of you

you'll get a lifetime of gooC
service from it.
How do you take good carr
of a camera? For one thing
