EARLY MAGAZINES Dear Sirs: I have several copies of Movie Makers from the years 1927, 1929 and 1930, as well as some issues of Eastman's Cine-Kodak News and Bell & Howell's Filmo Topics of the same period. Knowing there are those who keep files of old publications, I thought these might be of interest to them. All are in good condition. F. D. BORNMAN 19491 Lowell Drive Detroit 3, Mich. BACK COPIES NEEDED Dear Sirs: In getting ready for binding our reference file of Movie Makers magazines over the past few years, we find that a few of these copies have been damaged beyond repair. As I am anxious to complete this set for permanent preservation in our Reference Library, I am writing to ask if you have any spare office copies you could let us have. If not, I wonder whether you would insert a short request in the next issue of your journal asking whether any of your readers have spare copies either for sale or as a gift'.'' The issues needed are December. 1944, and February. March, July and August in 1945. Any assistance you can give us in this matter will be greatly appreciated. R. F.

LONG-DISTANCE MEMBER Dear Sirs: Thank you for The ACL Movie Book, the booklets and service sheets which I have just received.

A story of Rhodesia of fifty years ago, it was directed by Ken Richards, ACL, and pro duced on 8mm. Ken and I both use the Emel C-93's and find them very good . . . Cheerio for now. M. J. B.

Kodachrome. please. In return I shall be glad to exchange equal footage of life in Switzerland. I use a Bell & Howell magazine turret camera. Hans Bagattini-Gattringer, ACL Mariaberg 20 Rorschach, Switzerland ENGLISH CHURCH BELLS Dear Swap Shop: Recently I had the pleasure of filming a 16mm. unsolved mystery in England and will soon have it ready for magnetic striping. Unfortunately there was no tape recorder available during my short visit there, so I was unable to record any sound effects. I need about one minute of a single church bell ringing and about one minute of three or four bells ringing together, recorded on tape and at any speed. I will be glad to furnish the tape and swap almost any type of recording or film footage with a fellow filmer in England (or anywhere) who can help me out in this way. D. L.
