Robber Flees

A drug store owner reported an attempted robbery to Gables police Saturday night. Mrs. Tillie Fiertel, of 537 Marmore St., owner of a drug store at Bird and Ludlum Roads, told police that the unidentified robber approached her as she arrived home shortly before 9:30 p.m. She told police the man drew a pistol and demanded cash. Instead of handing over her money, Mrs. Fiertel told police, she ran away through a vacant lot near her home.

Bring A Camera Along!

Snapshot photography is so much a part of travel these days that camera manufacturers look on tourists as their main market. For the professional and the talented amateur, travel photography often means a livelihood or part income. For the tourist, it is usually a personal record to help memory enjoy the trip long after it has ended. Here are some camera tips Bill Mason of Travel Inc. has kindly given me: Remember it's often necessary to shoot from the hip at some unexpected but colorful scene or event. This means that the better you know your camera, the more certain you will be of a good result. So practice before leaving on the journey. You need sharp focus without having constantly to re-focus the camera, which means keeping the camera set on a distance of about 10 feet, setting a small lens opening (the "f" reading) and using fast films, both color and black and white. Also before you leave, check the camera as you would an automobile; the shutter, the film winder, the range-finder, the light meter. Take with you lens tissues and lens brush, because you'll meet all kinds of conditions "on the road" that you don't get at home. Buy some thin layers of foam rubber to wrap your equipment, and hold the bundle together with rubber bands, so that the vibration, especially in aircraft, doesn't cause disorder in camera and light meter. Keep gadgetry down. Take a haze filter and a graduated yellow filter for black and white film. The graduated yellow filter — yellow at top to clear at the bottom — can be left on your camera for almost all shots to give depth and contrast. For color film, a skylight filter eliminates haze. Remember that although you can buy film almost anywhere, it is often very expensive outside the United States. It would be as well to take your needs with you. If you are traveling for more than a month, it is advisable to airmail color film back to America for processing.

TRAVEL REPORTER By Bill Mason

QUESTION: What type of wardrobe would I need for a visit to Egypt and the Middle East? ANSWER: Basically we would suggest tropical clothing, though a light wrap would be a good idea for evening — and don't forget comfortable walking shoes for inspecting the pyramids and a pair of slacks in case you want to ride a camel.

Fire on Mile Isn't Serious
