CAMERA TIPS: Blurred iveg
a twes are caused by: camera mov
rc ( subject moved, shutter set on
B or T or distance scale not ad
justed correct distance ‘
Weak or thin negatives are caus
ed by: not enough light, too short
•exposure, shutter set at too fast
speed or at too small opening . .
Black negatives are caused by
film being unrolled in light, shut
ter set on T, or camera leaks
light . . Double exposures are
caused by failing to turn film to
next number or snapping shutter
twice . ■ Blank negatives are
caused by shutter failing to work
or number was rolled past. Film
Nos. 127, 129. 620. 116. 616, have,
R exposures to the roll, use them
all . . . Fine cinching streaks or tightening lines are j
caused by or
of film after removing from cam
era or rollers over which film run
are rusty or stuck.
Increase in feed production
should precede an increase in
numbers.

Our children will know a dif

die which will hve only in his
tories which carry records of an

One evidence in our changed
thinking will be our attitude to
free speech.
Tt is common to say that one of
the things we fight for in this

free speech. To be able to criti
