the $40 to $40 per person per
day minimum quoted by the
travel experts, and make it
possible for you and your fam
ily to stay long enough to see
everything?
We answered this question
last summer with a $2.67 per
person per day European camp
ing expedition in a Microbus.
Blessed with fair weather, we
stayed 70 days, saw European
life and sights closeup along
a 6,500-mile circle from Hol-
land to Greece and back again
to England.
Perhaps almost as startling
and encouraging is the ad-
ditional information that we
were one woman driver and
Jamie Smell IL; Larry Steele,
IA, son off M. and Mrs. John
Steele. 2100 Newark street NV,
and Suzy Smell 16. Except for
Larry's overnight Boy Scout
junkets, we had never before
been camping. Mr.. Smell had to
stay at home on the job.
We had no feeling, after the
first day, that we were doing
anything especially difficult. I
contend, even in the face of
some dubious looks, that such
a journey can be successfully
carried out by any calm,
healthy, and slightly adventu-
rous-spirited adult, male or fe-
male. The children will forget
within one hour of boarding the
plane back home their little
gripes about pumping air mat
tresseS, and six months later
will make you glow with a COM
menC ike this:
More and more it comes to
me-that was really fabulous
trip. I never noticed before how
much books and people mem
ton places we saw and stories
connected with them"
Fears Flee
The day before we flew to
Amsterdam on the economy
Icelandic airline, I confess I
kept thinking to myself (very
quietly, What am I getting
myself into?" But within hours,
we were taking pretty matter
of-factly driving, grocery shop
ping. smiling and pointing,
setting up q canvas home, and
planning the details Of a sight
seeing day.
Within hours, too, we learned
one major anxiety-disp cling
fact about Europe. Camping
sites, not luxurious, but
mostly adequate facilities are
sprinkled as literally around
that continent as motels are
around this one. Several catalog
listing thousands of these camp
sites are available. I decided
the best was 1.-THE Guide In
ternational - Europa Camping
and Caravanning," published
at So by Reise und Verkehrs-
verlag, Stuttgart.
Later we discovered that for
every campsite listed in the
book, often there existed but
please mind there are frequent
exceptions) from one to five
others nearby. Finding their
exact location was easy. for the
word camping" now belongs
to all languages. I would often
slow down beside a likely look
ing native walking along the
sidewalk, the children would
call out, "camping???" and the
impromptu guide would usually
point the way Immediately.
The quality of these camps
varied considerably. Many
campers, far more sophisticated
than we, do a lot of talking
with other campers, seeking out
news Of good" campers. We
merely decided how far we
wanted or needed to go by late
afternoon, then looked in the
book to see what camps were
listed for that spot.
We did learn that it was more
satisfactory usually to pick
the biggest of the camps listed
by a town the food shop would
be bigger, the showers might

Sustained audience inter-

made movies-juSt as it is
with the professional variety.
And while we can't guarantee
that your films will hold your
viewers spellbound if you fol-
low our pointers, at least you
will be able to give viewers
a pleasant experience rather
than a case of the fidgetS.
Your personal pride will suf-

Each film should tell a
definite story in an orderly
manner so that a great deal
Of verbal explanation is I'M

should by its very content
hold the interest of those
who watch it.

on this subject, so we can
only indicate some of the
more important factors that
contribute to a good film.

Just for Fun

The death in 1914 Of Flor
ence Foster jenkins left a
gap in the field that delights
so many people,-humorous
parody on operate singing.
So RCA Victor has re-issued
some Of Madame Jenkins
delightful taEe-offs. They
are coupled with equally
funny singing by a couple Of
contemporaries, Jenny Will
liams and Thomas Burns, in
some off-key, shaky Faust
excerpts in English.
From England comes an
other amusing record tAngeD
called the Huffnung Astro-
nautical Music Festival. There
are some good laughs to be
had. from these actual festi-
walls excerpts, including such
fare as a zany Leonora
Overture No. 4, duet from
the comic opera, 1.-THE Bar
Der Of Darmstadt," the Bal
lad Of County Down "a take
off on missile launching) and
Horrortorio, in which Miss
Dracula weds Frankenstein.

CAMERA ANGLES
Movie Should Tell Story

electric eye camera solves
this problem for many. But
even if you don't have one
you still can obtain top-grade
results by computing with an
exposure meter. Lacking Ell
ther, follow closely the in
structions that come with
the film.
Steadiness is another
prime factor. Use a tripod
for every scene if possible.
Otherwise learn how to hold
your camera so that it will
not waver or jiggle as the
film is being exposed. Even
a slight unsteadiness will be
greatly magnified when the
image (enlarged on the
screen is viewed. Much of
this wavering can make your
audience dizzy.
In all professional films
the camera moves constantly
in and out from the subject.
The angle changes too. If all
scenes were made from the
same distance and/or from
the same angle, the film
would become tiresome. So
vary your camera position.
Shoot a long shot to eStab-
lish the locale then move in
for a medium shot to bring

the subject into closer view
and use plenty of close-ups
to place emphasis where it
is needed.
A change of camera angle
is easy to accomplish. You
can shoot standing and then
from a lower angle by
crouching or even lying on
the ground. A high-angle
shot can be made from, q
chair, stepladder or tree.
When shooting movies keep
your mind on screen diree-
ton. In other words, If the
sugject is moving from left
to right in one scene, don't
have him going from right
to left in the next, because
this is very confusing to an
audience. If you need to
change screen direction make
an intermediate scene with
the subject directly ap-
preaching the camera.
Finally, edit all your films
carefully. Throw away all
bad scenes and do this
ruthlessly. Then take your
good footage and splice it
so that instead of a tumble
of scattered scenes, your film
tells an interesting and con-
nected story.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Alaska Tokens

Savoonga, like Gambell, is
a village on st. Lawrence

about 40 miles from Siberia.
With the successful use of

The Savoonga "bingles"
were made by the same COM
pany which made the Gam
bell tokens and are almost
identical. However, the eight
denominations Il, S, 10, Is

Singing Foursome

Victoria de los Angeles,
soprano favorite of many,
has made for Angel a record
Of considerable merit-Span-
ish Songs of the Renais-
sance. Now Miss De los
Angeles naturally is quite at
home in this element, for it
was on her native Spanish
songs that she cut her oper-
attic teeth.
The colorful songs are
divided into two groups
(court songs from 1443-
1877 and those from 1877
1899. Lending authenticity
and pleasure is an accom-
paniment Of lutte, recorders,
fiddleS and viols of the in
dicated periods. The instru-
ments and many other points
are illustrated in an accom-
panying booklet-one of the
handSomest we have seen.
Another favorite, baritone
Dietrich Fischer-Diesksau is
presented by Deutsche
Grammophon in an excep-
tionally fine opera recital
with Ferenc Fricsay leading
the Berlin Radio Symphony.
Included are two arias
from Carmen, Valentines
Farewell from Faust, songs
from Bizet's Pearl Fishers,
an aria from La Forza del
Destino, and others includ-
ing the meltingly beautiful
Germont's aria from La
Traviata and a popular aria
from Pagliacci. Great sing
ing, magnificently recorded.
Another record Oondonj
illustrates the virtuosity of
a singer with a voice that
falls lightly on the ear
Regina Resnik. This Ameri-
can some years ago success
fully made the transition
from soprano to mezzo, and
quickly mastered most of the
operate roles for that voice.
This record, with the Royal
Opera House Orchestra, is
a vivid illustration Of her art.
She seems at her best in
the lyrical arias from Tchai-
kovsky's Jeanne dare and
Saint-Saens' Sampson and
Delilah, but she is a fiery
Carman and dramatic in
Wagnerian and Verdi roles.
Apparently becoming an
other Ezio PIMA, CeSare Slept
Is heard in Songs Of Italy"
on a London record. Slept
has been starring in the
Broadway musical, Bravo
Giovanni. The Italian songs,
sucn as Funiculi, Funicula
and the like, are sung easily
and straight by the operate
baSso.

First Kennedy Stamp
Comes From Mexico

Although American Presi-
dents may not be pictured
during their lifetime on
stamps Of their own country
they usually turn up, sooner
or later, on foreign issues.
For President Kennedy, the
first such honor came from
Mexico, which released an
80-centavo blue and red air

memorate his state visit.
This was something of a
blow to stamp conscious

nounced it would be the first
country to picture Mr.. Ken
nedy on a stamp with a set
of six and a souvenir sheet
scheduled for July 4. These
mps, which also show
President Sylvanus olympic
and the Capitol Building, re-
call President Olympio's visit
to Washington in March.
Brazil also is planning a
special stamp for President
Kennedy'S visit to that coun-
try, now scheduled for No
vember IL, but there has
been no advance announce
ment whether the mp
would include a portrait Of
Mr.. Kennedy.
Mexico's Kennedy stamp is
being made available to col
lectors in the United States
by Mexicana Airlines.
All you have to do is send
a self addressed envelope
with 10 cents in United
States coin or stamps to:
Mexicana Airlines, 1903 Com
merce street, Dallas, Texas.
The envelope, with the Ken
nedy stamp affixed, will be
mailed back to you from
