J If rites, the rather hostile attitude of some subscribers to the inclusion of advertisements in Movie Makers. I cannot possibly understand what objection there can be to these ads. They do not force themselves upon the reader. He is no more compelled to read them than he is to browse about the counters of a camera shop. But I for one delight in browsing about, not only in a camera store, but through the pages of Movie Makers advertising. Sidney Moritz, ACL New York City THE ONLY TROUBLE Dear Movie Makers: Would like to mention that I find your magazine excellent reading, with the ads nearly as interesting as the articles. The only trouble is that you just can't buy much of anything in the cine line in this country. Ray Lawson Warrague, Vict., Australia ALWAYS INFORMATIVE Dear Sirs: Thank you very much for Movie Makers for January, February and March. Personally, I like the adverts: they are always informative and interesting. I do not think that they tend to crowd out the articles. In fact, the latter are more numerous and of better quality than in the similar magazine. Kenneth Prior, ACL Burnley, Lanes.. England WELCOME TO CALGARY Dear ACL: Having moved to this "Sunshine City of the Foothills" in order to be close to Banff and Lake Louise, I would be glad to welcome any visiting filmers to these parts. They will find me at the west end of the city, three blocks north of the Banff Highway. F. Hine, ACL 1317 19th Avenue Calgary NW, Alta., Canada SWISS SHORT WAVE Dear Reader Writes: I would like to thank the ACL members in the February issue who supported my suggestion for an ACL membership button or pin. Thanks a lot. Now for a small favor. I am a short wave radio fan and listen to SBC Switzerland, every night at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone interested in foreign reception and especially from some person in Switzerland having a knowledge of the various radio programs broadcast from that country and also the various frequencies to choose from.
