ALL THIS HAD to do with
his search for signs of spring
yesterday. Although the sun
broke through occasionally,
he found it hard to feel the
: breath Of spring in the brisk
wind, with the temperature
in the DOS.
This is almost like Thoreau's
New England spring. It did
not start until April, when
the ice broke up in Walden
Pond.
We've had portents. The
elItis are now beginning to
blossom, and the willow
branches are turning green.
The most convincing sign
of spring was the groups of
outof-town students arriving
in buses at the Capitol. The
buds and leaves and blossoms
may be slow. but the kids al
ways observe the calendar.
Two Asbury Park IN. j.
buses drew up before the
Grant Memorial and Harry
Naifnan soon had the occu-
pants lined up on the marble
steps Of the memorial with
the Capitol in the background
and was photographing them
with his panoramic camera.
He and his brother Julius have
been working this stand for
more than 40 years.
Il don't have TO jot down
the names left to right" (the
bane of news photographers),
he said. "The kids identify
one another when they get
their prints. We are booking
jobs all winter. for the spring
vacation trips.
southern schools? Most Of
the kids don't notice that this
is the Grant Memorial. If
they do, they want to be as
sured Grant won't be in the
picture.
"a few years ago, after the
integration decision, when I
would be taking pictures on
the east steps Of the Capitol
of Southern kids with their
Congressmen, I noticed that
the teachers had difficulty
getting some OF them to go
along to the Supreme Court"

East Huddom Note

The theatrical splendor of
the Victorian era has re-
turned to East Haddam,
Conn, with the restoration of
its opera house, a white wood
frame building at Good
speeds Landing.
The opera house was built
81 years ago by will a m
H. GoOdspeed, merchant
and shipbuilder. Goodspeed's
Landing was an important
steamboat stop on the New
York-Hartford run and the
opera house flourished with
the river traffic.
But with the decline of the
steamboats, the opera house
had to close its doors and by
1929 it had deteriorated to
such an extent it was con-
demned by the first officials.
In 1859 a group of citizens
formed a foundation to restore

You and / have fused
many a time in setting up a
screen for home movies or a
color slide show. You have to
open the tripod legs, raise the
center bar, swing the screen
around to a horizontal posi-
ton, pull it up and adjust the
tension.
Suppose you were chal-
lenged to find a quicker, east
er way to set up a screen.
How would you tackle it?
1t would take a very unusu-
al inventor to solve the prob
lem as simply and ingeniously
as we now see in the new
Radiant "AutoMa ste r"
screen. They did it by forget
ting the conventional method
of mrolling a screen from
bottom to top like a window
shade. Instead they open and
close it from side to side like
an accordion. The screen al
ways remains in position,
even closed, and does not
have to be swung around.
How It Works
To that basically S mple
idea, they have added a COM
plete coiled spring t e sion
system which coordinates all
the steps and parts. The very
action of starting to open the
screen like an accordion sets
the hidden mechanism into
autom attic reaction: the
screen opens to its full width,
fully tensioned; the tripod
legs spring into position.
To close: with a hand at
each side of the screen, a
slight "puShing-together-a n d.
downward" pressure is exert
ed. The hidden tension system
completes the task automati-
cally: the screen recedeS into
its protective case; the tripod
legs retract into a compact
package behind the case.

CLOSE-UPS AND LONG SHOTS
Easier Way Is Found
To Set Up q Screen

Either one-step operation
takes from two to three Sec
Onds!
The "AutoMaSter" mechan-
ism is permanently fabricated
and the screens will be avail
able in 40 and 48 in ches
square with a new bright sill
ca textured surface.
Darkroom Kit
Many camera fans would
like to make their own en-
largementS at home but sew
eral factors tend to discour-
age them. One is the initial
investment in an enlarger and
OF h e r darkroom equipment.
Another is uncertainty as to
whether charging is a diff
cult technical procedure or
one they can master easily.
People no longer need to be
so uncertain because a new
approach is being tried: a
''Rent-A-Darkroom" kit idea.
For a small fee, a photo fan
gets a burst 6O6 enlarger for
IS nm. and 214-inch square
negatives, an easel, safe lamp,
three trays, two tongS and all
necessary instructions for en-
larging. When he buys the pa
per and processing chemicals
or ready-made solutions he is
ready to try charging for a
two-day period.
When the user gets the feel
of enlarging his own pictures
and learns that it isn't too diff
ficult, it is thought that he'll
want to get his own equip
ment. To encourage that idea,
the rental fee will be deducted
from the cost of any Drust en-
larger or darkroom outfit that
the fan buys.

City Post Office Handling
4 First Days in a Month
By BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

Washington City Post Office
is tackling a record first day
cover jOb-processing covers
for four first days and pos
Sibly a fifth within a month.
The Eleanor Roosevelt COM
memorative will be issued
here Friday, the Science
stamp on October IA, the City
Mail Delivery on October 26
and the Red Cross Centenary
on October 20.
The Christmas stamp will
60 on sale November l. Since
no first day city has yet been
announced Washington is a
strong possibility. Postal Of
ficials here must be prepared
to handle it as well as the
other four.
For the four stamps def
nitely assigned here there
probably will be at least Us
million covers to process and
cancel. The Eleanor Roosevelt
commemorative alone may
reach a million, a high figure
but by no means a record.
The largest number of
covers for a single issue was
1,71O,726 for the 4-cent and
Scent denominations Of the
Thomas Masaryk Champions
of Liberty commemorative.
For a single stamp the record
is 1,419,955 for the Boy Scout
issue. Both were handled at
City Post Office in 1860.
Over the past 10 years,
with far more first days as
signed to Washington than to
any other city, the post office
here has developed an ex-
perienced staff of supervisors
and key workers who are
available as needed and a
large pool of clerical workers
who can be called in to build
up the First Day Unit in peak
periods.
More than 40 employees were
on the job last week. The
figure is expected to 60 to
more than 70 tomorrow and
continue at about that level
until all Of the big backlog
of orders can be cleared.
Only orders for the ROose-
welt stamp are being pro-
ceSsed at present. Requests
for the other issues are merely
being sorted and stacked in
mail baskets to await their
turn. But handling Of the Sci
ence stamp orders will have
to be well under way before
the Roosevelt orders can be
cleared, and there will be a
similar overlap for the City
Mail Delivery and Red Cross
issues.
This method of handling ex-
plains why collectors are
asked to mark the outer en-
velope with the name of the
stamp desired (it helps in
sOrting) and why orders for
different stamps released at
the same city may not be
combined (the job is COM
plicated enough now without
making it any more difficulty.

Science Stamp Changes

OSAOhSO stamp OhdhScS
When the Science stamp is
released October IA collectors
will find that a number of
minor changes have been
made in the originally an
nOunced design.
Most obvious is the shift in
the denomination from top
center to lower left, a change
strongly urged by Antonio
FraSconi, the artist who did
the prize-winning design.
Frasconi's black lettering
has been replaced by dark
blue and his pale blue stars
in the dark blue galaxy will
be white, both concessions to
the Giori press, which could
not print the original design
in a single pass through the
press.
The stamp will be printed in
dark blue, aqua and black
(the lines on the globe) from
a single plate, so unlike
the Emancipation Proclama-
ton stamp, which presented a
similar problem, it will have
only one plate number. For
the Emancipation stamp the
black chain was added as an
overprinted second impress
sion.
The Science stamp vignette
was engraved by Arthur W.
Dintaman Of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, the
lettering and numeral by Ken
meth C. Wiram. It is being
printed in an order Of 100 mil
lion and will be issued in
post office sheets Of so.
