So successful was the club's "Buy A Bomber" bond campaign, club has been nominated to membership on Inglewood's official war bond selling committee, and will join with other civic agencies in future bond drives.

Better Idea Gentlemen: I noted, with interest, on page 252 of the August issue, details for building a film developing rack. The specifications called for use of brass nails as guides for film on the rack cross members. May I say that in my opinion brass nails should not be used as the copper content in the nails will contaminate the developing solution, particularly the fine grain developers which require a longer immersion of film in the solution. Wooden pegs should be substituted. Also suggest that the entire developing rack be coated with asphaltum paint before use. Otherwise, hypo may penetrate the wood, remaining there to contaminate developing solutions in subsequent processing operations. Bert Baker, Minneapolis, Minn. Experimental Workshop . . . • Continued from Page }6) in bottom of large saucepan and into this was fitted a porcelain lamp socket. Holes drilled in top of cup permit heat from lamp to escape. Two L-shaped brackets were riveted to pan near the rim and these served as a hinged clamp for attaching reflector to a wooden upright fitted with wooden cross members for legs. A "snout" was made for this reflector out of another saucepan of similar size. This was fitted with small spring clamps around the rim that permits clamping it over front of the reflector. The snout serves to concentrate the light in a narrow beam, similar to a spot light but with less intense light. — Demetris Emanuel, Los Angeles, Calif. Novel Titles If your home is fitted with Venetian blinds, one of them may be used in conjunction with your title making to produce interesting fade-in and fadeout titles. After placing a black drape in back of the blind, arrange the title upon the slats with cut-out or "stick-on" letters. Before shooting the title the blind should be opened so that slats are fully horizontal. Then, starting the camera, the blind is gradually closed to produce the fadein effect and left in "closed" position for the duration of time title is to remain on the screen. To fade-out, slowly open Venetian blind until the slats are in horizontal position again. — Lew Gordon, Portland, Ore. STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT.
