faSt-seeing little camera. Its
shutter will stop them for
you. No longer need you &C
cept a blurred picture when
the action won't or can't halt
or an unnatural one when
it does.
You know the kind of pic

they put no strain on a
quick-shooting "35" which
can splinter seconds into
hundredths.
35's Very Versatile
These cameras stop other
kinds of action, too-for not
all of it is to be found in

Some people have trouble
holding their cameras still

will take out the jiggle.

Let's say that you have
just gotten your 35, and that,

moving objects at 1/400th?
No indeed. This speed, or
even a large part of it. is for

effect of subject motion on a
film image, you see, is not
entirely one of pace. Every

a creditable job of freezing

Yet it isn't all done with
shutters. Fast shutter speeds,
if you are to retain proper
exposure, require wider lens
openings. A shutter clicking
off at a speed 8 to 10 times
that of normal shutter action
calls for a lens that will open
up 8 to 10 times wider than
will the average lens.
Wide lens apertures reduce
depth of field . . the range
of sharpness. 35-mm. cameras
offer double advantage here.
They'll open wide so you can
shoot fast. and at any lens
opening they promise far
greater depth than most
cameras. Additionally, many
35s have easy-to-read scales
on top of their lenses that
give you range of sharpness

ture and focusing distance.

$4,000 School Job
Is Going Begging

A $4,000 a year job with
the Montgomery County
School Board has gone beg
ging the last year because
nobody suitable to the Board
wants it at that salary.
The job is that of Director of
Purchasing, vacant since Rus
sell Corey left it last year.
Since that time, the Board has
received some Is to IS applica-
tons.
"Most of these applicants
were unacceptable to the
Board" said DR.. Ar t h u r
Templeton, director, Depart
ment of Business Affairs.
DR.. Templeton did say, how
ever, that at least one applicant
who was very acceptable turned
down an offer substantially
more than $4,000. Some of
these persons have been ready
to sign up when their employers
or others offered more money
than we were authorized to
pay" he said.
He indicated that the county's
educational and professional re-
quirements were too high fol-
the authorized salary, when in
competition for employees.
The office of the Director OF
Purchasing spent about So mil
lion In county funds last year
for school furniture, equipment
and supplies - everything but
new buildings. That figure will
