MAIN OFFICE ADDRESS Dear Sirs: I would like to suggest that you consider putting the main office address somewhere on future ACL membership cards. There may be other absent minded individuals like myself who would like to pass on this data to a potential new member but can't remember the address. I now have it noted on my card. William H. Ashcroft, ACL Auburn, Maine An excellent suggestion, and one which will be followed when new cards are printed — which will be in a few months. Before that time, what other ideas have ACL'ers for improving our membership card?

SINGLE FRAME STILLS Dear Movie Makers: I am interested in taking single-frame stills of the head and shoulders of my friends, but I find it impossible to take a complete fifty foot roll of Kodachrome as this would necessitate taking 2000 pictures. I haven't that many friends or enemies as yet. Is it possible for me to purchase a twenty five foot roll of 16mm. Kodachrome, so that I could take forty poses of twenty five people, for example? If not, how long could I safely keep a fifty foot roll of film in my camera? Philip Lalonde, ACL Toronto, Canada As far as we know, 16mm. Kodachrome is not spooled in twenty five foot lengths. However, this is the length of the 8mm. rolls which, as they go in the camera, are 16mm. wide. Perhaps you could use one of them. If so, be sure to accompany the film when it is sent for processing with a note stating that it should not be slit following development.
