Photo album papet, or any black, opaque material may be used. In lettering, work large. Draw guide lines to help keep letters consistent in size and shape; the lines won't show on the film. Cut out the letters with a sharp, thin blade, using enough pressure to cut completely through the paper with a single stroke to give sharp edges. Don't worry about the centers of letters like "A," "B," "D," etc. Those go in later. After cutting out the letters, paste a sheet of tracing or onion-skin paper on the back of the title to diffuse the light and hold the fill-ins for the centers of some letters. These fill-ins can be the cut-out pieces of paper, or use India ink. If the title is not big enough to cover the lens field, use a large piece of wallboard or plywood with a hole in the middle to accommodate the title. My titles are cut from 10x12 album paper set in the center of a 30x36 shield. Have the light placed so it is not in direct line with the title and camera. Angle lighting prevents the texture of the backing paper from appearing. Exposure is determined from a sheet of the white backing paper. Take a meter reading close to the paper. Set the aperture at twice the indicated exposure. Rewind the film in a dark room if there is no back wind on your camera. To film the background, use normal exposure. Select backgrounds carefully; predominantly dark or medium-shade backgrounds are best. If there is quite a bit of sky, a filter will add enough tone to it in the case of black and white to make the title stand out. Camera Captures Rustlers Rustlers now fear being shot by cameras as much as by a sheriff's six gun. Back in the days when the West was wild, cattle rustlers didn't face the hazards of their modern-day counterparts. Game Warden Ralph Morrow of Bisbee, Ariz., an avid amateur cinema maker, recently was scouting for footage in the Cave Creek area of the Chiricahua Mountains, when he spied a flock of buzzards. Sneaking up to film the birds, he discovered they were feeding on the remains of a calf, one of a number which had disappeared from nearby ranches. Investigation led to two men, who confessed butchering the calf and were sentenced to the state penitentiary for three to five years. Dividend For Workers Eastman Kodak Co. employes will share in an estimated $13,000,000 wage dividend in March, eligible workers receiving $22.50 for each $1,000 earned during the years 1944 through 1948. Approximately 51,500 employes will share in the melon, the 37th wage dividend by the company since 1912.
