day as merchants counted dam

of order Was restored early this
morhihg by police.
But the main issue still steam
ed Os hot as ever—the suspension

tween Montreal and the Detroit
Red Wings, were fired to fury at
suspension.
A check of Penn State wrest
ling records shows that, in 47
ySars of dual competition, the
Lions own four wins for jvery

CENTRE Co. FILM LAB
W. Itivtr Ave.
Hi, Neighbors
Just a brief note this week. We have been rather pressed
for time, thanks to a real busy week of running those films
you took last Saturday and Sunday. It sure is a pleasure to
see all of those Brownies and 35mm cameras
We had a proud father in this week,
asking how to take pictures of his new
baby through the hospital window and it
reminded me that many of you have prob
lems with reflections with your flash photo
graphy, so here are a few hints to overcome
those glaring winddws, mirrors, and glasses
on your subjects.
First, tiy and remember that light has
an angle of reflection just like a bouncing
ball and if you throw the light’ straight into
the mirror or window pane, it is going to
bounce right back into your, lens, giving you
those nice big white blobs for eyes, or big
reflections from any polished surface. Check
your subject carefully and if it is a friend or relative wearing
glasses have them turn their heads just a bit away from the
flash or lower their heads just a bit to keep the light from
bouncing back into your lens. Check, closely when photograph
ing with flash that your subjects are not standing in front
of mirrors or windows. If they are, and there is no alternative
but to pose them there, then take the picture at about a
45 degree angle, so the light will bounce away from the lens.
I guess that about covers it, but if you want more instructions
just drop in. We will be glad to help you. Before I say goodbye
for today I would like you all to know that the shipment of
Ansco Color we have all been waiting for came in today,
so hurry on down. Be seein’ you next week. Thanks for
listenin’.

have gone to Maurice Stokes of

from the Pennsylvania mountains
