Contributing Writer


There's been a lot written
about the taking Of 35-mm.
color slides, but very little
about their showing. Which
is odd, for showing is what
all the shooting's been about,
and poor projection prac-
tices or equipment will in
evitably Offset all the good
work done by the picture
maker and those who made
his film and camera.
Easily the most important
single step to the fullest en-
joyment of color slide shows
is editing. For the chief
difference between an ad-
mitted expert and an obvious
amateur is that the former
shows only his best products.
All of us shoot an occa-
sional $3.50 picture.
Something that was sup
posed to happen in front of
the camera didn't. Or
something that wasn't sup
posed to happen did.
Every now and then, too, we
just plain goof-fail to reset
lens or shutter, or carelessly
set them wrong. These poor
slides should be seen, all
right. Once, by ourselves.
And they should then be
chucked out-a spartan deci-
sion that will probably make
better men out of us and
will certainly make us better
photographers.
Having faced up to this
somewhat aStringent fact, we
now have only good pictures
to show. The next question:
Which Of them will we show
to what audience?
Selection Is Easy
Here the color slide finer
has a distinct advantage over
the maker of color movies.
Editing for a color slide show
is a cinch, assuming you have
your slides properly filed and
identified.
For a strictly family show,
of course, anything goes. But
honesty prompts the admis-
sion that parents and grand
parents are probably more
interested in children and
grandchildren than are even
our closest friends. For the
last group a collation. of
slides of a trip, a fishing or
hunting h oliday, garden
close-upS, a sports spectacle
or a parade. add UP to top
film fare.
COmplementing Factors
Yet how we show our slides
Is about as important as what
we show as there are actually
complementing halves to 35-
nm. color slide enjoyment.
Ones to get the best possible
pictures onto film. The other
is to get them off. Just as
it takes proper exposure and
precise color-pure camera
optics to put a fine color
picture onto film, so does it
require high-quality protector
optics and the right amount
of light behind them to
transfer those pictures from
flm to screen. Let's take up
the last f1rst-it'S that i'm
portant.

AS closely as we can COM
pare, property taxes are
around a quarter of what
would have to be paid in the
Washington area. But, COM
pairing them with rented
quarters, there is the cost of
heating, lighting, repairs or
upkeep to consider. I suggest
that you talk with builders
in the section where you are
thinking of building, giving
them some idea Of what type
of materials could be used.
Also find out how the exist
ing property is taxed, as a
guide to what you might
have to pay in the future.

Boswell Repair Permits
Ruled Proper by Hall

Alexandria Public Works
Director Philip Hall refused
yesterday to revoke building
permits for the repair of two
houses owned by v. Ward
Boswell, chairman of the city's
Housing and Redelvopment
Authority.
Mr.. Hall made his ruling yes
terday afternoon on the basis
of testimony presented at a
brief morning hearing during
which two citizens protested
that the permits should not
have been issued.
Edward Gulewicz and Mrs.
Hugh Witt argued that Build
ing Inspector A. r. Lash should
not have issued the permits be-
cause Of a provision in the city
building code that applications
for permits must be &C
companied by detailed plans.
Mr.. Lash said during the
hearing that he had acted
under a section of the code en-
powering him to issue permits
when in the judgement of the
building inspector drawings are
not necessary to show the

character of the work to be
done"
Mr.. Lash said that Assistant
City Attorney Eldridge K. Hayes
had looked at the property
and told him that the permits
should be issued.
The building permits for re-
pair of the Hammond Court
House have been a source Of
contention for several weeks.
A grand jury is to meet October
"a to investigate the properties,
which the health department
lists as substandard.
City officials originally re-
fused to issue building permits
because of the pending grand
jury probe. Mr.. Boswell went
to court, however, and on Octo-
.ber 4 Corporation Court Judge
William P. Woolls ordered the
permits issued.

Science Shrinks Piles
New Way Without Surgery
Stops Itch-Relieves Pain

New York, N. Y, (Special) -
For the first time science has
found a new healing substance
with the astonishing ability to
shrink hemorrhoids, stop Itch
ing, and relieve pain - without
surgery.
In one hemorrhoid case after
another, "very striking improve
ment" was reported and veri-
fed by doctors observations.
Pain was relieved promptly.
And, while gently relieving
pain, actual reduction or re-
traction (shrinking) took place.
And most amazing Of all -
this improvement was main
tanned in cases where Doctors
observations were continued
over a period Of many months! !!
In fact, results were so thor
ough that sufferers were able
to make such astonishing state
ments "Piles have ceased to be
Evening star., 1960-10-11

a problem!" And among these
sufferers were a very wide va
riety of hemorrhoid conditions,
some Of 10 to 20 years standing.
All this, without the use Of
narcotics, anesthetics or astrin-
gents Of any kind. The secret is
a new healing substance (Bio-
Dyne") the discovery of q
world-famous research institu-
ton. Already, Bio-Dyne is in
wide use for healing injured
tissue on all parts of the body.
This new healing substance
is offered in suppository or oint-
ntent form called Preparation
H. Ask for individually sealed
convenient Preparation H sup
positories or Preparation H

Gator. Preparation H is sold at
all drug counters. Satisfaction
