lenses on some models make
inspection for Jogging difficult.
Most motion-picture cameras
have a speed governor which
should minimize the problem of
slow shutters. A frame or two
may be lost but after that,
speed should stabilize.
Next the slopes. With the pos
sible exception of cross-coun-
try skiing and touring, most &C
tivities on the ski slopes are
essentially downhill. Yet, an
unfortunately large proportion
of the ski photographs taken
each year show skiers running
down" a disappointingly flat
slope, only slightly sleeper than
the Potomac River. The ski pho
tographer has once again run
afoul of an insidious combina-
ton of optics and geometry
which results in "flattening the
slope"
The answer is to shoot across
the slope, down the slope, OF
into the slope, but never up the
slope. The only exceptions tc
the rule would be highlighting
the classic skier against t h {
skyline or cornice.
Steepness, even exaggerated
steepneSs, may be obtained by
shooting down and into the hill
from a lift tower (permissior
required first) or, with luck
from the chairlift itself. A skier
turning in a cloud of powder
may justify an up-slope shot
but in general, these should be
avoided. Profile slope shots are
difficult to obtain, but are
among the best to portray
steepneSS.
Next the lighting. Ski-slope
lighting is tricky. Do not de-
pend on the "electric-eye type
camera" to make your deci-
slons. 1t may be fooled by in
tensive reflections, and is of lit
tie or no value in the much
desired sidelight and backlight

ular in skiing. In the. snow

Closed Season
On Bass Fishing

The Virginia Commission of
Game and Inland Fisheries,
meeting in Richmond, has
passed a regulation removing
the closed season on all fish
except trout.
Practically speaking, tn S
opens such western streams as
the north folk of the Shenan-
doah to year-around bass fish
ing, now permitted east of the
Blue Ridge.
The commission at its
monthly meeting, also set the
opening of the trout season for
April 7. The season will end
December 81. The daily creel
limit remains at eight.
One group of western coun-
ties will be closed for restocking
May TIL and another group
of counties will have a similar
closing, May 14-18. Privately
stocked waters will not be in
cluded in the closure as they
were last year.
The commission also repealed
a regulation prohibiting ice
fishing on inland waters, but
the old regulation will not eX-
pire until February Is.
A spring gobbler season has
been proposed on commission

areas except those in South
west Virginia, Powhatan, Ches-
terrified, Amelia and NottoWay
Counties.
The dates would be April %
%. Hunters would be limited to
half-da shooting from a half
hour before sunrise to noon,
The limit remains two birds per
season and only hunters with
unused permits would be
allowed to hunt.

they can't. Sports fishing is in
efficient at best and the METERS
are too handicapped by wrecks,
military zones and uneven bot
toms.
In fact, the commercial fish
ermen can use their nets in
only about 20 to 80 per cent
of the bay. Therefore, there
still are many sanctuaries in
which rockfish can await the
spawning season.
Why the Fluctuations?
Why then are there such
fluctuations in the crops of
striped bass? DR.. ManSueti says
natural conditions during the
spawning period have much to
do with it.
Water temperatures, salinity
and amount of rainfall con-
tribute. Even the sunlight has
a bearing because it affects the
production of microscopic
plants which in turn produce
the tiny organisms (plankton)
on which the baby rock feed.
One law we would like to see
removed is the ban on keeping
rockfish weighing more thar
Is pounds. The scientists admit
that there is no sound basis
for it.
Start Spawning at Four
1t is true that the bigger the
female the greater number o.
eggs she produces, but rocl
start spawning when they art
about four years old and the
numbers of fish at that agt
far outnumber the big Stripers
Furthermore, many of the biz
fish turn migratory when the!
are five to six years old anc
leave the bay at least for
time.
A move to allow sportsmer
to keep one rock over the Is
pound limit failed last yea
and it is doubtful that a sim
liar bill will be reintroducet
because the Legislature is haV
ing an "off-year" session, con
fined to emergency and finan
cial matters.

land Sportsman" it read:
II would like to voice my
opinion considering a limit on
rockfish. I am enclosing a few
clippings from newspapers.
THE papers are filled with
items about the large amount
of rock being caught. I think
that the Department of Game
and Inland Fish should act on
this matter. 1t is incredible that
this should continue. I think
the fishermen have lost their
sense of craftsmanship.
I'm my opinion a limit of
20 per person per day is suffi-
cient, or a quantity that would
be accepted by every sports
man. I hope to see some con-
troll in the future. I would hate
to see this great sport decline. !"
Can't Abide Waste
First. Sad Sportsman, I agree
with you from the point that
use leaves off and waste begins
I can't bear to see waste OF
any kind, in fish, game or wild
fowl. 1t saddens me, too, to re-
port catches of 800 or 400 rock
fish a day when I have the
private feeling that many must
be going to waste despite assur-
anceS to the contrary.
Unfortunately, rockfish dc
not keep well in a freezer ir
a few weeks they acquire ar
unpleasant taste. Neither are
they amenable to smoking
Therefore, these big catches Of
rock must be accepted by the
neighbors, sold somewhere, OF
be wasted.

most, seem to feel that they
must load their boats to NEE

must, but that brings it bach

Assembly To Ponder
Pay Raise Problems

Proposed legislation concerning
pay raises for judges and some
state employees will come ahead of
school teachers in the Maryland
Legislature which convened yester-
day.
Gov. Tawes is recommending S3.5
million for the teacher college
buildings but the Maryland State
Teachers will have to prod the leg
islature for another SIS million
which the colleges requested and
the governor refused.
TaWes already has promised to
meet another point the MSTA eX-
pected to push, bringing faculty
salaries at the teacher colleges
more in line with those at the Uni
versity of Maryland
The bill to raise the state mini
mum salary scale for public school
teachers to 50 00O-$6 900 will be in
troduced again but spokesman adj
nit it will be an uphill battle.
The governor took some steam
out of the demand last year when
he provided more funds for local
subdivisions to raise the pay Of
their teachers if they so desired.
He noted that all except this cOun-
ty now are paying at least the S4,-
O0O-S6, 900 minimum by supplement
ing state aid
Tawes has approved two-way
pay improvement for state en-
ployes. The entire package would
cost SIS million.
The Legislative Council will in
troduce three bills to increase the
salaries and pensions of judges.
Total cost would be S345,250. The
