~ In Tucson. Ariz.
Printed In three colors.

promises 10 be one Of the
most attractive stamps Of the
year.
The art work by Rudolph
Wendelin Of Arlington rep
resents all the major aspects
Of forest conservation. Two
huge pines dominate the
scene. The stump Of a third
which has been felled SYM
bolizes the harvesting Of ma
ture timber under scientific
forest management. Our
hardwoods are not forgotten.
The yellow foliage Of the as
pen-like trees in the back
ground provides an added
touch Of color.
Young pines recall the i'm
portance Of new growth: a
doe and her fawn the value
Of woodlands as q shelter for
wildlife: a lake and forested
hillside the role Of trees in
protecting our watersheds.
Subject matter for the
stamp was suggested by Mr..
Wendelin, an Agriculture De-
partment staff artist whose
work has been chiefly with
the Forest Service. He also
developed, in cooperation
with officials Of the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing, a
final design with sufficient
separation to be handled by
the Giori press, which prints
three colors from a single
recess-engraved plate.
The design represents a
happy compromise. A pro-
posal for a stamp picturing
Smokey the Bear, who has
become an effective conserva-
ton symbol in recent years.
received strong support. par
ticularly in the West and
South. Backers Of the Keep

were active. Both groups are
recognized in the pictorial
cancellation to be used on
first day covers.
Mr.. Wendelin designed the
cancellation as well as the
stamp. One Of his duties
with the Forest Service is to
serve as Smokey's artistic
guardian. checking all art
work in the national cam
paign to prevents forest fires
to make sure that Smokey.
whose position as a symbol is
protected by act of Congress,
is properly presented.
The real Smokey, the bear
behind the sym boil, lives
quietly at the Washington
Zoo. Now 8 years old. he was
rescued as a cub from q New
Mexico forest fire in 1850.
The October ~ first day
marks the Tooth anniversary
Of the birth Of Theodore
Roosevelt, one of the early
leaders in the conservation
movement.
Tucson was chosen as the

The Smithsonian Institution
Pictures that might other
wise turn out duh and life
less can often be saved in adj
vance by the simple expedient
Of placing a filter over the
lens. Filters are inexpensive
aids TO photography that
should be used freely during
picture-taking sessions.
Take note Of your mono-
chrome landscape shots. for
example. II you are one Of
those who has not tried the
effectiveness Of filters. You
may have an otherwise fine
snapshot but the sky win be
bald and cloudless (even
though beautiful cloud for
nations may have been
present when you took the
picture). or perhaps the
background scenery you
wanted to get into your snap
shot is lost in the haze
sfrotlded distance,
Dramatic cloud formations
add much to the attractive
ness Of such q scene but the
trouble lies in the fact that
the film has a relatively high
sensitivity to the blue of the
sky. Result: the white clouds
merge with the blue back
ground, leaving little trace Of
the clouds you wished to cap
ture on film. To correct,
simply place an orange @ IL
ter over the lens before
shooting and. presto the
clouds will be recorded on
your negative.
Color Corrections
Other filters that will per-
form well for you in the same
respect are the K2. which is
a yellow filter which is not
quite as powerful" as the
@, and the red A filter that
will produce so much contrast
that the clouds will Jump"
right at you In the finished
product.
The reason for the use of
filters can be more readily
understood by the beginner
after considering the factors
involved. One purpose Of
the filter is correction of the
color rendition in terms Of
black and white.
AS seen by the eye, diff
ferent colors have varying
degrees of brightness. Film
emulsions do not "see" or
record brightness with the
same degree of selectivity as
the human eye.
Therefore we must use
some medium to pass certain
light rays and absorb others
so that the tonal values will
register in their proper re-
lationship to visual interpre-
tation.

Arrest Legally
Made, Court Says
lin Narcotics Case

The United States Court OF
Appeals today in a 2-to-l de-
cision upheld the narcotics
conviction Of a man who con-
tended evidence in the case
was Illegally obtained.
\ The defendant, Mervin Green,
80, said he was arrested
illegally on a charge of at
tempting to enter q house un-
lawfully. Police said he was
trying to get away from them
at the time. Green drew SEN
fences in District Court up to
10 years on the charges.
He contended his arrest or
q charge Of trying to enter q
house illegally was without
probable cause. Police said he
had run from them when they
started to question him.
The appellate court held
that Green's arrest on the at
tempted entry charge was legal
and that therefore search and
recovery of 229 capsules of a
narcotic were incident to a
lawful arrest and therefore
legal. The majority opinion
was written by Judge John A
Danaher.

He said Britain also stands
