Coin Gimmicks

One reason coin collecting
is such a wonderful hobby

the honesty and integrity Of
the persons involved. dealer
and collector alike. We often
receive collections for ap-

ures with no more than a
verbal agreement.
However. with a hobby

BY IRVING DESFOR
Associated Press Staff Writer

A reader from Mount Jack
son, Va, asks: How can I
get sharp transparencies,
good enough for reproduc-
tion2 I'd like to sell some of
my pictures"
It's a good subject for dis
cussion so let's look into it.
To get a sharp picture:
/. There must be no cam
era movement. 1t takes a con-
scious effort to hold the cam
era still whereas people
usually jab at the button or
lever in a motion that may
jar the camera at the same
time. When properly done,
the camera is held firmly
against the face with an eye
level camera) or against the
chest with a reflex cam
era) and the release button
is gently squeezed.
Shoot Fast
Many people can hold a
camera and shoot at 1-25th
of a second and get a sharp
picture. Others require l-50th
or 1-100th to be sure of
sharpness. The faster you
shoot, the more likely you
are to stop camera motion.
To eliminate camera move
ment completely, there's
nothing like a firm tripod
and a cable release. Un-
fortunately, tripods are some
thing of a nuisance and can
be pretty shaky in the legs
If extended. Certainly any
one going to the trouble of
using a tripod should get one
that is solid and steady.
2. Sharpness also depends
on the angle of subject ac-
ton, the type of subject
action and the camera shuttle.
speed.
1t makes a difference If
you're trying to get a sharp
picture of a jet plane. a
railroad train, an automo-
bile, a bicyclist, a person
walking or a child crawling.
And it makes a difference
whether they are coming to-
ward you or going past and
how far away they are.
Action Before Camera
1t is easier to stop motion
when an object or person
comes toward the camera and
when 1t is further away.
Motion is harder to stop the
closer it is to the camera and
when it passes in front, from
one side to the other.
For instance, If you we're
alongside railroad tracks, you
could get a sharp picture of
an approaching head-on
train at 1-100th second If it
were some distance away or
at 1-200th If it were closer.
However, it would probably

Hart Looks to Kennedy
For Food Labelling Help

ton" to the stricter Federal
policing he proposes.
His bill will follow closely the
terms of one he introduced IN
the closing days Of the 1862
session, Senator Hart said. He
explained that he offered the
1862 version at that late date
to let the food and commodity
packaging industry as well as
others, know what tack he pro-
posed to take.
Result of Hearings
The bill is an outgrowth of
hearings last year by Senator
Hart's Senate Antitrust and
Monopoly Subcommittee. Many
witnesses complained that
shoppers, particularly In gro
Gerry stores, often encountered
tricky packaging and labelling
gimmicks which made 1t diff
cult and sometimes impossible
for housewives to figure out
what they we're getting for
their money, or to compare
prices Of competing brands.
His bill, Senator Hart said, is
intended to cope with what he
calls the psychological traps,
successive confusions and out
right deceptions" against which
witnesses-including some from
the packaging industry itself
complained at his hearings.
Senator Hart said he based
his expectation Of White House
support on President Kennedy's
mention of the packaging hear
ings in a special message to
Congress last year urging more
protection for consumers.
Three Requirements
Senator Hart outlined three
major points TO be included in
the measure which also were
in the 1862 version. These
would:
/. Require an easily read
statement OF net weight or vol
ume on the front Of a pack
age, unaccompanied by any
modifying or qualifying words.
2. Require that pictures on
the labels OF packages must
fairly represent the contents
for example, as he put II,
chocolate chips should be as
evident in the chocolate chip
cookies as they are in the pic
Iture on the package"
3. Forbid manufacturers TO
print "cents-off deals" or other
statements on the package i'm
plying q price advantage which
do not really represent a saw
ing 10 the shopper.
The bill also would give the
Federal Trade Commission and
the Food and Drug Administra-
tion broader authority TO en-
force reasonable weights and
measures standards. package
sizes, and some definite plan
TO let the housewife know what
is meant by a label claiming
that the contents OF the pack
age are adequate for -four
servings" or any other number
'of servings.

CLOSE-UPS AND LONG SHOTS
Sharp Transparency
Is Not Accidental

still be blurred at 1-1.000th
of a second If shot broad
side as it sped by.
For sharper pictures of ac-
ton, therefore, select a cam
era angle so that the action
comes toward the camera
and is not too close. Focus
on a designated spot and
shoot at about 1-200th of a
second when the subject
reaches that spot.
Focusing Is Vital
3. Sharpness, of course, is
primarily dependent on ac-
curate focusing and the
closer the distance, the more
critical 1t is.
With fixed-focus cameras,
anything closer than six feet
will be unsharp. For impress
sive close-ups, protar lenses or
portrait attachments should
be added to the regualr cam
era lens and distances should
be accurately measured &C
cording to the instructions.
4. Proper exposure can af-
feet sharpness. An overex-
posed transparency looks
washed out and fuzzy in the
highlights.
S. More contrast illumina-
ton or a sharper contrast in
colors in the subject matter
will give an illusion Of greater
sharpness in the finished
picture.
6. Finally, proper process
ing and printing can affect
sharpness. Negatives and
transparencies should be
checked with a magnifying
glass to see If an enlarged
print was properly focused or
not.
We've been discussing
sharpness but that isn't the
ultimate factor in whether a
picture can be sold or not.
Picture content is far more
important. If the subject
matter is interesting, un-
matter is interesting, un-
usual. dramatic or conveys a
powerful emotion, the matter
Of sharpness is secondary.

Speech ENCOURAGING
At least In his inaugural ad-
dress. Chancellor Erhard
seemed to go out Of his way to
redress the balance. His en-
phasis was entirely on the i'm
.portance Of NATO and the
contribution Of the Unite d
States to European security. As
opposed to Gaullist ideas Of q
confederation Of European
states, he spoke strongly in ia
vor Of European indignation, :"
insisting on the necessity Of
Great Britain'S role in a future
European political union.
In his choice Of language
there was little to give comfort
to the French governme en- t.
Chancellor Erhard emphasized
the "close interdependence" Of
the Common Market with the
economy Of the world and pro-
claimed his devotion TO the
principle Of free trade as OPP
posed to q planned economy.
Mr.. Erhard appeared also to
take issue with his predecessor
on the matter Of East-West ne
gotiations. The federal govern
.ment from now on, he an
'nounced, believes that con-
facts and conversations be-
tween the United States and
the U.SSR. can be useful and
should be pursued to determine
If possibilities exist to reduce
tension"
In short 1t Is a new Germa-
ny, or at least q new personali-
ty at the head Of the German
government with which the al
lies must deal. This in itself in
spires a certain initial shynesS
among the rival suitors for Mr..
Erhard's favors. But since the
results probably viii determine
the shape Of Western politics
for years to come, the GOODNESS
cannot be expected to last long.

If successful, 1t could signal
the eventual withdrawal Of
some Of the large United States
combat forces which have been
stationed In w estern Europe
and the Far East for more
than a decade. About $4,000
army troops are in West Ger
alone.
The first phase brought all
smiles to United States forces.
