J ti :t. lift i 1. til Photo Contest Gives Judges Tough Problem Tha Statesman, Salem. Oregon, Suaxlorr. August U 191313 t- New Winners Named; Prizes Still Available ' a. 'win. , I j 'if t t l i' . ... i.;- v:-?'' r i ' ,9 By Don DM Staff Photographer. The Statesman In quantity, as well as in qual ity in some pases, the third week of The Oregon Statesman's photo contest for amateurs, brought out the best representation thus far of the work of this area's protog raDhers. . In . fact, there was no joking whatever in last Thursday's story which said the judges were hav ing a difficult time making their choices. There were many pic tures very close to the quality of those produced on this page, and the judges still could not be sure their decisions were correct even after making them. Taker Unidentified One fine picture of a barefoot boy fishing from a dead limb would have taken an award had it been possible to identify the per son taking it The name did not appear in the information on the bark of the photo. Greatest hindrance in prize winning quality continued to be fuzziness lack of a sharp focal point lending itself to good repro duction. One or two photos on this p,Tp were almost counted out be cause of that factor. Lack of a contrasting background also elimi nated some from the running. The final week of the competi tion now is underway with the deadline at midnights Wednesday, August 4. Winners in the final week's contest will appear in The Statesman next Sunday, August 8. Announcement of the grand prize winners, and the oicturps them selves, will be published Sunday, August 15. A grand prize is to be awarded the top picture in each of the four classifications. Turner, Silverton on List Today's winners are as follows: (1) Children -animal: first, Car lisle B. Roberts, 1443 S. Commer cial. Salem; second, C. K. Olson, route 7, box 243, Salem: third. A. A.

Checks Already Mailed Checks for $60 were mailed Sat urday to the week's 12 winners. Already there have been expres sions of regret that the contest is limited to four weeks. Reason for such a limit lies in two major factors first, when the contest was launched it was not known how much interest would be shown, or whether such interest would be sustained: second, even though such interest has exceeded all expectations it would hardly be fair for contestants for grand prizes to be opposed by entrants In other than the four weekly con tests originally announced. But those factors do not bar an other such contest at a future time. In the meantime, any sug gestions for changes in the rules and regulations Would be given careful consideration. Specifications Reprinted The initial - contest thus far as developed very few "bugs," and with continuing fine cooperation another one might be even more successful, if that is possible. iFall specifications for the com petition again appear on this page today, and until next Wednesday night every amateur in the area has an equal chance to figure in the final week's prizes or those offered for the four finest pictures In-the entire competition.
