N.Y. case. I was not asked to declare my cameras and film when I left this country. The film prices I found were about $2.00. not $1.00, higher than here. And our luggage was not fumigated on our arrival there by steamer. On the other hand, I commend heartily Dr. Schwartz's suggestion that a written record be kept of all shots; and with his descriptions of what to shoot I am inclined to agree. Olin Potter Geer, ACL Scarsdale, N. Y. ADS PAY THE COST Gentlemen: I note in the March issue that some gentleman has written you objecting to the fact that Movie Makers carries advertising.

Being an average movie fan, I think that all of us can be very happy to have a medium such as Movie Makers. . . . And I'm not in the advertising business! Kurt E. Gaida, ACL Shawano. Wise. NOT COMPELLED Dear Editors: I have noted from time to time, in the columns of The Reader
