A little reluctant at first, he finally decides to go, and clambers aboard their truck. Ensuing scenes show the Auxiliaries getting their fire fighting equipment into action, and assembling in a park. First event is net practice — the holding of a life net and catching persons jumping from tall buildings. This event fascinates their visitor and he is induced to make a jump into the net. Successful, he wants to join the Auxiliary, is accepted and given helmet, boots and uniform coat. Thereafter, the Auxiliaries are shown in hose practice and demonstrating the pumping power of their various truck units, with dozens of nozzles throwing streams of water into a lake. The practice program over, the men are dismissed by the fire chief and turn homeward. On the way, several of the trucks are attracted by a huge column of smoke. One man suggests its a real fire. "Well, what are we waiting for!" exclaims the leader and in a few moments they are at the scene with hose unreeled for action. Soon streams of water subdue the flames which turn out to be nothing more than a smoke pot planted by the fire chief to test the men, as he reveals to them later, their ability to handle a situation undirected by him. The men return home. On the way they drop off the hen-pecked husband who went along for the ride. Halfway up the stairs leading to his home, he glances up to see the menacing figure of his wife glaring at him and brandishing a rolling pin. The closing shot shows the fellow black-eyed and peering out from the cramped quarters of the doghouse. In relating the group's trials and tribulations in producing the picture, Louis Muller said: "In the midst of one day's shooting we had an alert! It was a particularly bright day, and we were using What Kind of Miner ire You...? Answers To Questions On Page 797 1. Twelve shots ten-seconds in length and one j -seconds in length. 2. To insure accurate exposure of subject, especially of his or her face. To take reading farther back, light from sky would increase meter reading, indicating a smaller stop and consequently under-exposure of subject. 3. When camera is running at 32 F.P.S., just half as much light is admitted to each frame as would reach it operating at 16 F.P.S. Therefore, you must open up lens one full stop above normal exposure which, in this instance, would be f/8. 4. Glove compartment is one of hottest spots within your car — especially when car is parked in sun. Excessive heat will ruin film whether in camera or in carton. If you must keep camera and film in car, wrap it in blanket and leave it on floor or back seat. 5. Choose the most interesting object within scene and concentrate camera upon it for a single shot. Where there are other points of interest, instead of panning, stop camera, focus it upon the new object, and make another shot. 6. Usually caused from threading film in bright light and, additionally, with 8mm. cameras, when turning over the spool after exposing the first 25 feet of film. Always thread film in camera in subdued light. 7. By using the special Kodachrome filter available for this purpose before your camera lens. The filter is necessary because light of photofloods is relatively rich in red rays. 8. F/2.8. F/3.J is a half-stop. 9. Failure to consider the great expanse of sky area when taking a meter reading. This gives an over-reading, resulting in closing lens more than necessary. 10. With color film, contrasts are provided by the colors. With black and white, some shadows are necessary. 11. For general shots out of doors, a meter is rarely necessary. It is in shooting under adverse light conditions, in shade, and indoors that a meter is necessary to arrive at correct exposure. 12. By gradually closing down camera lens to last stop to make a fadeout, and reversing this action to fade in. 13. Where viewfinders do not provide for adjustment on closeups, raise camera slightly higher so that some additional space is seen between head of subject and frame line when looking through finder. 14. Hold camera on or against some nearby object such as a tree, rock, fence, etc.
