CAMERA ANGLES
Terms Explained
o Photo Novices

normal focal length for that
particular camera. To OBJ
tain a larger image or close
up without getting closer to
the subject with the camera
you can use a telephoto lens.
On the other hand, should
you want to increase the
scope Of the scene, again
without moving the camera,
you would use a wide-angle
lens. which allows the
photographer to include q
much greater angle Of view
than the normal lens would,
each being the same distance
from the subject.
One-Legged Stand
A unipod is a camera stand
with one supporting leg. It
is handy to have when you
don't have time to adjust
the three legs of a tripod.
Negative and Printing
A negative is the photo
graphic image recorded on the
film when you make an ex-
posure with your camera; it
actually becomes a negative
upon development. In the
negative the tone values of
the original subject are re-
versed, with the dark areas
Of the subject appearing
light and the light areas as
dark. During the printing
process the tone values are
once more reversed so that
the picture or print Is a true
representation of the original
subject.
Diaphragm or Stop
The stop or diaphragm Of
a lens Is a device usually
found between the elements
Of the lens which admits
light through the center of
the lens while cutting off
the marginal rays of light.
In a few cameras it will be
found in front of or behind
the lens.
Most medium-priced CAM
eras have an iris diaphragm
which consists Of a series Of
thin overlapping m tai
leaves which are operated
manually, or by the modern
built-in electric exposure
meter. to vary the size Of
the opening of the lens and
so regulate the amount Of
light that will be admitted
through the lens.
Aerial Hose Filter
When shooting distant
landscapes you will often en-
counter a condition known
as aerial haze. The unaided
lens will not penetrate the
haze and the haze filter is
applied over the lens to allow
1t to see through and record
scenes that would otherwise
appear on film as dim and
cloudy. For ordinary pur-
poses an orange filter will
prove satisfactory with black
and-white film. A special
haze filter is required for
color film.

Uticu Will Not
Publish Names
In Appeal

UTICA, (JTA) = Howard
Blaustein, chairman of the
1861 United Jewish Appeal
campaign in Utica, said he
had withdrawn his proposal
to publish the names of con-
tributors to the 1861 drive.
He said his decision was
based on the reaction of a
majority of the members of
the board of directors of the
Utica Jewish Community
Council to the idea. He said
that the number of directors
who had indicated, during a
vote on the idea, that it was
not proper was greater than
the number who felt that
supporters of the campaign
should be honored by such
publicity.

Italian Jewry
To Get Payments

ROME, (JTA)-Two weeks
of negotiations between West
Germany and Italian Off
Gals in compensation to ltal-
ian victims of the Nazi perl
cd ended with unofficial re-
ports that the total sum
agreed to by the negotiations
was for a contribution of 4O,-
100000 German marks (S1O,-
OO0,O00).
The agreement still re-
quireS ratification by West
Germany but this was eX-
pected within few weeks. 1t
concerns about 10000 cases
of which about 5000 involve
Jews. Only 1,500 of the 1tal-

Nazi period returned to Italy
and about 500 were Jews.

THE Us are a couple in
their early 40's, who came to
Tucson a number of years
ago, because of a health
problem of Mrs. T. Mrs. T.
suffers from an irreversible
health problem which may
be terminal. Mr.. T. is en-
ployed and can manage the
family's needs, but due to
the high cost of medication
finds it difficult to meet the
total camp fee.
There is only one child in
the family, age 10, and it is
felt that because Mrs. T.
tires easily ,and has to
spend number of hours
resting, she cannot adequate
ly care for the youngster.
Though the youngster is
self-reliant, the father feels
that the home atmosphere
may be somewhat depress-
ing and it is not healthy for
the youngster to remain in
this situation for the sum-
mer vacation.
MRS. S. is a widow. She
works all day and has been
able, with the help of a small
pension, to support her fam
ily. There are three children
in the family, ranging in age
from IA years to 6 years.

A past president of the
Tucson Chapter of Hadassah,
Mrs. Weiss this past year
served as vice president for
organization on the chapter
level and helped organize
the new Elana Group. For
two years she served as
secretary for Hadassah's
west coast region.
In addition to her work for
Hadassah Mrs. Weiss served
as chairman of the Women's S
division of the Tucson Com
bined Jewish Appeal and
was named Woman of the

arrangements for the chill
dren during those hours
when she was not home.
However, during the vaca-
ton she finds it difficult to
hire a full-time hOmemaker
and cannot see burdening
the older child with the COM
plete care of tn e two
younger ones. She requested
a partial scholarship for the
younger child and asked
that some arrangements be
made so that the two older
ones could participate in
some of the Center activities.
This mother is trying to be
both bread w inner and
mother for the family. She
is doing an excellent job
with the children in raising
them. She needs the services
of the camp and the Center,
in order to enable her to con-
tinue to do so during the
long summer vacation.
THE J.'s settled in Tucson
four years ago. Originally
they were refugees who
were accepted in the com
munity of Chicago. Mrs. j,
suffers from arthritis and it
was indicated that she move
to a warmer climate. They
planned for many months
and finally decided to come
to Tucson. 1t was difficult
for Mr.. J. to find employ
ment at the same salary rate
as he had in Chicago. AT
present Mr.. ]. is working
for which the family is
ever grateful. However, his
earnings are not sufficient to
send the oldest child, age II
to camp.
