photographic and movie equipment, either at the fair or elsewhere. So far as the fair is concerned, there are many checking places — often on the outside of buildings — where one may secure a locker by the slot deposit method. In New York City, these are available in subway stations and at railway and bus stations. It will not be possible for the League to undertake the temporary custody of any equipment at its offices, which are not arranged for this kind of service.
The League cannot serve as a mail forwarding address, either on the "will call" or other basis. It is to be hoped that members will not embarrass us by requesting this help, because we cannot undertake it, in fairness to other members, who would not wish their organization to accept this kind of responsibility.
The League regretfully cannot serve as an appointment center for one filmer to meet another, because its reception space is limited. It is happy to receive members, of course, but it is sure that they will understand that the many visitors during World's Fair season will place an extra strain on the staff to serve them all, and that they will not be offended if we do not give as much time as is normally given, when the number of visitors is not so greatly increased.
The League cannot serve in any way to secure special discounts from dealers in movie and still camera equipment. The many Fair Trade laws in existence cover this matter fully, and, in addition, the League has always believed that it should not become involved in any discount situation for its members or for non members. Its function is service and not buying.
The League is not equipped to make any repairs to equipment. However, it will be glad to refer inquirers to establishments in New York City where these repairs can be made. But it cannot undertake to receive or deliver equipment to such repair shops.
The League has not worked out any photographic guide system for the fair, and it is not able to send any of its staff to the fair as guides for visiting members or others. The information in this number of Movie Makers, together with a copy of the Official Guide Book or of the Tony Sarg map, will enable every filmer to find the points of vantage for the pictures and footage he wants.
This list of "cannots" may seem less hospitable than we could have wished, but we believe that it is better, in the long run, to indicate frankly the limits of League capacity rather than to make no mention of them and then to disappoint, because requests are not capable of being met by the small staff of the Amateur Cinema League.
With this number of Movie Makers, the usual services that the League offers its members and the brief answers to the
