DEAR ABBY: When / met
Rita, exactly one year ago, I
knew ! had finally found the
girl I wanted to marry. She
works where I work, is quiet,
refined, and beautiful in a
natural way. Rita Is 26 and
Q widow. ! am 70 and also
eligible. I love her and she
says she loves me. When I
asked her to marry me she
said yes, and gave me her
CHEEK to kiss. Abby, this
woman has never let me kiss
her on the lipsl She says that
when o woman gives her lips
she should be willing to give
herself completely to q man,
and she is waiting for mar
riage. She insists she Is not
cold, but kissing Is part Of
lovemaking and she doesn't
believe in starting something
she doesn't intend to finish.
Would ] be crazy to marry
her?

Last week we discussed,
rather generally, some Of the
ways to have fun with your.
camera in the winter time.
Today we win be more spec
ciflc about one Of the more
fascinating aspects - snow
photography.
II last months pre-winter
deluge was . real portent Of
things to come we win have
many opportunities to take
snow pictures before the cur
rent season is over. Since
shooting scenes Of snow is q
bit different from everyday
photography we feel that it
is q subject worth individual
treatment.
Snow Transforms All
The fascinating thing
about snow. from the photo
grapher's viewpoint, is its
ability to transform the pro-
safe into something Of un-
usual shape and beauty. To
record this change is q chal-
lenge to anyone with q CAM
era and the will to do some
thing different" photogra-
phically.
After the next snow notice,
II you will. how all the old
familiar objects and places
have taken on new and In
teresting forms and patterns.
Things that you would ordi-
narily pass up as subjects for
your camera, with their fresh
topping Of snow, have as
sumed for q fieeting time, an
aura Of unearthly beauty.
This is the time to get busy
with your camera.
Sooner the Better
Your very best snow scenes
will be made just after the
last flakes have fallen. At
that precise time each limb
and twig Of every tree and
shrub will have its coating
OF clinging crystals. This
featherlike quality Is soon
lost after the flakes begin to
melt and consolidate. Then
the wind. that usually fol-
lows. win shortly thereafter
dislodge most Of the snow
and the original quality viii
be lost.
Those who live in or near
the city will also find that
a layer Of chimney SCOT win
soon spread like q dark veil
over the snow surface, caus-
ing considerable loss of pic
torial quality.
Another excellent reason
for getting an early start is
the fact that the long
shadows cast by the low
morning sun will provide the
best shooting period, al
though late afternoon is also
good from this standpoint.
Low Sun for Detail
At times when the sun Is
overhead the snow will pho
tograph a fiat unattractive
white while. on the other
hand, o low sun win ernpha-
size all the tiny irregulari-
ties Of the snowscape and
lend detail and texture to the
scene.
To further bring out the
contrast between the snow
and the shadows. with black

CAMERA ANGLES
Snow Photography
Is Fascinating

era you may slip a yellow or
orange filter over the lens.
When using a filter be sure
to use the filter factor when
computing your exposure.
Considerable care should be
taken exposurewise. If your
camera Is not equipped with
an electric eye automatic
exposure computer rely on,
an exposure meter or ex-
posure guide to clue you as.
to the right exposure. This
is more important In snow
photography than usual be-
cause overexposure has o
tendency to block up the
highlight areas. II in doubt,
therefore, err II you must, on
on the side Of underexposure
because the greater area Of
your negative Will contain
the highlighted snow.
Avoid Dirty-Snow Look
However, don't underex.
pose too much or the snow

pearance that VIII be re-
fiected in both filr1 and
prints.
Hand in hand with SNOW
photography are ice and
frost pictures. Notice the un-
usual and interesting pat
terms Of ice In puddles and
along streams. Icicles su-
spended from caves or house
cutters. particularly when
side or backlighted by the
sun offer fine subjects for
your camera. The same goes
for hoar-frost that you win

q window pane.
So when it SHOWS this win-
ter, fight 1t II you rnust-but
also use it to your advantage
by taking plenty Of snap
shots for that something diff
ferent In photography.

James L. Anast. director Of

that major research and de-
|velopment programs are under
way in areas where significant
improvements can be made to

tanning o normal now Of

Safety Efforts Pushed
The quest goes down many
roads.
Efforts are being made in
faster and more efficient
means OF processing flight In

trollers; In three-dimensional
radar that would give con-
trollers the altitude Of aircraft

ultimate, an adequate airborne
anti-collision device.
OF all these. the Sd radar
and anti-collision systems ap-
pear to present the greatest
problems.

perts estimated that both

picture would give no indica-
tion that they were on differ

Radar scopes show any num-
Der Of aircraft In o holding
pattern. but 1t does not show
their altitude. For this infor-
nation, controllers rely on pilot
reports by radio or are forced
to operate on the assumption
that the pilot win maintain the
altitude he has been Instructed
to hold.
Development thus far has
produced an anti-coilision de-
vice which can warn the pilot
other trafiic Is In his area. But
it has not been refined to the
point where electronics auto
maticaliy win take the aircraft
out Of danger--or even tell the
pilot what he should do to ac-
complish this.
Systems Outlined
The collision prevention pro-
gram Ia divided into three fields
Of endeayor:
Collision Avoidance Systems
(CAS) which would detect air.
craft, determine the collision
peril and dictate the safest
maneuyer to be executed by the
pilot or automatic pilot.
Pilot Warning Instruments

to give him their bearing and
range.
Conspicuity Enhancement Is

already utilizes high-visibility
paint and lights ON aircraft.

last month demonstrated that
a device can successfully relay
the threat of az collision and
confirmed the capability Of
techniques to show the range

This month will see o Eight

tions and to speed their de-
cision-making. the Processing
Central (DPC) is under test
at the Research and Develop
ment Center in Atlantic City.
The center (called NAFEC,

perimental Center) has work
under way also on the SD ra-
dar and on automatic ground

bers Of the Stamp Advisory

members; William H. Buckley,

Ervine Me til, the artist mem
bers; Abbott Washburn, dep

tor Of the Division Of Phila-
tely; Robert E. Fellers. Mr..
Bruins predecessor. and Dom
aid r. Mcleod. superintend-
ent Of the Engraving Division
Of the Bueau Of Engraving
and Printing.
To those was lave watched
from the ou.Side but with
some awareness Of its prob
lens, the value of the Stamp
Advisory Committee to Mr..
Summerfield. to the depart
ment and to stamp collectors
has been obvious. Under its
guidance the department has
been able to work out. for the
first time a co-ordinated pro-
gram Of new stamps, many Of
them above average artisti- +.
cally. most Of them helping
to tell Americas story abroad
as well as at home.
Under Mr.. Walter stamps
have been made. frankly a
public relations function Of
the department, and have.
without fanfare, become one
Of the most effective tools in
the hands Of the United
States Information agency.
The Stamp Advisory Com
mittee has been criticized for
too many stamps. politically
motivated issues, and poor
designs. It is an advisory
group and Its advice has not
always been accepted. Any
criticism Of the prediction
flood Of new issues must be
directed at Mr.. Summerfield
personally.
Artistic quality is a matter
Of opinion. Most students
Of stamp design think United
States stamps have improved
under the guidance of the
committees artist members.
At a minimum, the old rigid
mould Of stamp design has
been broken. and that is all
to the good.
Overall, the Stamp Advi-
sorry Committee has done an
effective job of providing the
philatelic. artistic and infor-
nation policy advice which
any Postmaster General needs
in determining his stamp
program. 1t would be sur
prising II the new Postmaster
General did not follow Mr..
Summerfield's precedent in
developing his own group Of
stamp advisers.
