Niver's Oscar was for a pro- | cess of soaking and redrying the paper prints so they could be unrolled without cracking the emulsion.

Ac- cording to color experts at Pitts- burgh Plate Glass, makers of | spray enamels in many Christ-| mas hues, there is a reason for our seasonal preference for cer- | tain shades: Bright, w arm} colors like orange and red sug- gest warmth, gaiety and joy. | Green is associated with iz. and life everlasting. A noted | theologian saw the evergreen as | a symbol of immortality, as it| survived winter's cold, keeping | its living color.

White means pur- ity, peace, faith and joy. Silver symbolizes birth, purity, the spirit, and the promise of happy times; while gold stands for royalty and power. As one of the gifts of the Three Wise Men -- Melchior, Balthasar, and Cas- par -- gold meant that Christ was acknowledged as King of men, After you have decided on a general color scheme, try to keep hues simple.
