TO CAPTURE the fragile beauty of the -tiger lily or, for
that matter, any other flower, move in close. By using our
of the Portra Lenses you can get within inches of your
subject. Taking an extreme closeup serves to "set off"
one particular blossom from all the others. Also, try using
a large lens opening which will result in a picture with an
extremely shallow depth of field. Note the interesting
camera' angle the angular helps make this photograph
outstanding.
Getting The Most
Out Of Your 35
Millimeter Camera
By JERRY FIELDS
About the most surprising aspect
of 35mm picture making is that
these small cameras, using about
the smallest and lowest-priced film
size, result in the largest pictures.
Meaning, of course, that although
35mm camera owners often shoot
for average-sized prints in color or
black and white, they most
frequently make color slides for
projection on screens several feet
in width. Screen pictures which,
' thanks to the fine optics and fast
shutter of the camera and the il
lumination of a slide projector, are
the biggest, sharpest, most color
ful and brilliant pictures of all. For
through them onlookers can enjoy
many subjects as large, or far
larger, than in life especially if
the area covered by the camera is
itself small. You'll be interested,
1 think to learn just how small this
can be!
Most "35's" can be used as
close as three feet from a subject
. . some even to within two and
one-half feet. At the former dis
tance they'll span an area 00 inch
es wide ... at the latter, 00 inches
in width no mean pumpkins as
close-ups when thrown upon a
ood-sized projection screen. Vet
35mm camera users can get a lot
more dramatic magnification than
this!
For some "35's" there are in
terchangeable lenses, or additional
lens components, for wide-angle
and telephoto shooting and telc
pholos, while usually thought of as
useful for reaching way out to
make big ones out of distant little
ones, are equally helpful for nar
rowing the field for the magnifica
tion of objects only a few feet
distant. But we're talking here of
close-ups as achieved by standard
lenses with the addition of simple,
low-cost lenses that slip over the
camera's lens barrel. Let's sec
what they can do for a 35mm cam
era at that average three-foot
clfie-up distance.
Known as Porta lenses, these lit
tle aids usually come in plus 1,
r'us 2, and plus 3 magnifications.
They can either be used over the
standard lens individually, or in
combination for even greater sub
ject nearness and concentration.
With the plus 1 you can shoot at a
20 inch distance: with the plus 2
at 13 inches; with the plus 3 at 10
inches; with Die plus 3 and plus 1
at 0 inches; with the plus 3 and
plus 2 at 0 inches; and with the
plus 3 and plus 3 at 0 inches.
And now while you think of
subjects such as people and pets
and clusters or even single blos
soms, shown clear across your liv
ing room screen let's see
what areas a 35mm camera will
cover at those same six distances.
At 20 inches, 00" by 00"; at 13
inches, 00" by 00"; at 10 inches,
00" by 00"; at 0 inches, 00" by 00".
An inch, as you can see, can eas
ily become a foot on your projec
tion screen!
With some "35's" you can do
even better . . . narrowing the
field to but two inches in width.
Special close-up kits are avail
able, including, in some instances,
items known as field guides, or
focal frames, which when secured
to the camera by its tripod socket,
extend out front to span the var
ious small fields at their various
close distances. There are even
close-up viewfinders and range
finders for splii-hair sighting and
focusing. There are table-top cam
era stands to hold "35's" only
inches above a map, a snapshot
print, or any other small object
you d like to copy. And, speaking
of close-ups, these are even at
tachments by which some 3.-mm
cameras can be precisely mounted
onto microscopes and you can
imagine the magnification possible
here when their images are blown
up on a screen!
The estimation of exact distance
and fieid is important in close
up filming. Even at the smallest
possible lens opening depth of
field is shallow, and sighting is a
bit uncertain because camera find
ers are usually above lenses and
aren't "looking" at exactly the
same area. So it pays to measure
distances carefully, and to angle
the camera upwards a bit keep
ing the top one-quarter of the find
er above the area you re aiming
at when using a plus 3 Portra
lens, one-sixteenth above it with a
plus 2 lens, and one-eighth above
it when shooting through a plus 1
lens. Or better still, if one's not
available, make yourself a simple
focal frame to both outline area
and spot your camera at the cor
rect filming distance. It's easy
enough to build as you can
readily learn by writing for focal
franie information to the Sales

Ground Rules
Laid Down For
Ground Round
Ground beef made entirely from
the round cut of the beef carcass
may now be labeled and sold
as "ground round" according to
the revised hamburger standards
drawn up recently by the State
Department of Agriculture.
The same rule applies to any
terms which designate the primal
cut from which the product is
made. Thus, "ground chuck" will
be permissible as a term for
ground beef or hamburger made
entirely from the chuck cut.
The revised order, like the one
drawn up last January, permits
two optional ingredients if declared
on the label. They are ascorbic
acid (Vitamin C) and monosodium
lutamale.
Department officials point out
that ascorbic acid does not increase
the nutritive value of the meat in
amounts used in hamburger. They
say some dealers like to use as
corbic acid to retain the normal
color of the meat for a longer pe
riod than is natural when exposed
to light; this is its only function in
ground beer. It is not a preserva
tive and it does not intensify ex
isting color.
Monosodium elutamale is not a
spice but, as in other products, is
used simply tn enhance the flavor
already present.
The addition of either of these
optional ingredients must be de
clared on a package of ground
beef. The label must also contain
the name of the product, the net
weight and the name and place of
business of the manufacturer, pack
er or distributor.
If hamburger or ground beef is
sold in bulk in retail stores a pla
card must show the standardized
name of the product or the term
designating the cut from vhich the
product was made. It m.ist also
bear the names ol either or both
of the optional ingredients, if add
ed. Well Seasoned
Lumber should be thoroughly
dry before it is used for "abinets
and built-ins in order to avoid
shrinkage. Best plan is to store
lumber for several weeks in Ihe
room where it will be ultimately
installed.

Itana Wheat Not
Approved For
Use In Oregon
liana, a new hard red winter
bread - type wheat released for
some areas of the Northwest, will
not be recommended for Oregon,
it was announced this week by
D. D. Hill. Oregon State College
farm crops department head.
Itana Is similar to Columbia
wheat released three years ago in
Oregon as a hard red winter va
riety for low rainfall areas. Colum
bia is more smut resistant and
higher yielding than Itana under
Oregon growing conditions. Hill
stated.
Washington State College this
week released Itana for areas of
les than 1C inches rainfall in
Washington. Certified seed for
commercial production in Washing
ton will be available in the fall
of 1959.
The new wheat is a selection
from the cross Blackhull-Rex X
Cheyenne made at the Oregon
State College branch experiment
station at Moro. Testing began in
scattered areas of the Northwest
in 1950. Idaho and Montana re
leased Itana in 1956.
Columbia is resistant lo all
known races of both common and
dwarf smut and has usually out-
yielded Itio, the commonly grown
hard red winter wheat in the Co
lumbia Basin. Because of Colum
bia's excellent performance in
Oregon's low-rainfall areas, Hill
stated,, there is no point in releas
ing Itana in Oregon.

Civil War Books
On The Presses
The spate of Civl War books.
approaching the flood which can
be expected to crest in 19B1, the
100th anniversary of the conflict,
continues with three notable worki
being released in one week.
The books are:
"Why The Civil War?" by Otte
Eisenschiml (Bobbs Merrill).
"An End to Valor" by Philip
Van Doren Stern (Houghton Mili
um.
"First Lady of the South" bf
Ishbel Ross (Harper).
Eisenschiml, as usual, jumps
into Ihe middle of the controver
sial question among Civil War
scholars whether the war was in
evitable. Most historians agree that
the time for compromise had
passed when secession began but
not Eisenschiml. He contends Ihe
conflict still could have bOn
stopped after Lincoln became
President and develops a theme
to that effect which probably will
keep the Civil War burfs talking
for a year as did a previous book
of his, "Why Was Lincoln Mur
dered?" "An End To Valor" is 9 nar
rative of the war from MaiQi 4,
1805, when Lincoln was inaugurat
ed the second time, until Appo
mattox. Stern writes with di(j)rna
and human interest. He Oes the
first person technique of quoting
participants effectively.
Miss Ross likely has written the
definite biography of Varinn How
ell Davis, wife of President Davis,
in "First Lady of The South." J'.'s
difficult to recall any detail of
Mrs. Davis's life which Miss Ho?
hasn't covered. The author's re
search seems thorough )ig con
clusive, digging as she did into all
the records of the Davis and How
ell families, even to the descen
dants still living.
