Cameras Respond to Good Treatment TODAY'S column. is one of advice-- to new camera owners. But one we feel will also be of Value td owners of not-so-new cameras. When you took that new camera Out of the box, there was an instruction book with it, we're sure. It tells you in detail how to operate your camera--and under varying circumstances. It's designed to help you get the best possible pictures. But, of course, it can't do a thing for you if you don't read it carefully. Do that before you take your first pictures. They'll be bett&r pictures. Knowing' how your camera operates-- and what its limitations are--is a good way to avoid disappointment. Since all new cameras are carefully inspected before packing, yours should work fine. However,-' if it is the exception to the rule gnd shows any inclination to stick, -don't force it. Take it to your photo dealer, find Out what is wrong and the proper remedy from someone who understands the mechanism involved. These days cameras travel far and wide. Inevitably, they are going to suffer a certain number of bumps and shocks. On the whole they are rugged, and will take an amazing amount of punishment. However, it seems foolish to risk damaging a camera when a field csee will protect it and are so low in price. When traveling by car, you face the unfortunate problem51 of the most convenient places for carrying camera being the very places that aren't good for it--the glove compartment and the back window ledge. In both spots you find heat and dust, the worst enemies of cameras and film. You don't want to pack it away ia a suitcase. So, the best idea is to put the camera in a field case and keep it on the seat beside you-- ready for picture taking at all times, --John Van Guilder (This is the first of two articles concerning the story of a 500-foot cross, tallest religious symbol in the world, in wCiich shrines will be provided for all denominations.) A fund drive aimed at raising $3,000,000 and supported by the 5,000,000 members of the. General Federation of Women's Clubs, of which Mrs. Theodore S. Chapman, Jerseyville, 111., is president, was initiated in Washington March 1 to provide for the construction of -a mammoth, 500- foot cross, the world's largest, dedicated to greater unity of Chiistian thought and effort, atop Bald Knob mountain in southern Illinois near the . population 'heart of America. The members of the 15,000 clubs of the G.F.W.C. are urged to become the channels through Which all people in their communities have an opportunity to Contribute. The story of THE CROSS, as it will be known, is the story of a devout rural mail carrier whose interest in humanity and in God are a legend in the 7^00 squaremile area in wftiich T*HE CROSS will be visible. The mail carrier, Wayman Presley, a . native farmer from the hills of Union County, near Cobden, 111., has long been known for his interest in nature, and for his enthusiastic participation in youth activities. His two-day hikes were popular among the poor youngsters in the area, and his resourcefullness in providing for them on these hikes won him the admiration of the adult population. But it was wttiile he was postmaster at Makanda, HI., a post he acquired in 1934, that he began thinking more deeply about the religious aspects of life. The postmaster job was confining, and he longed to be out under the blue sky where he could enjoy nature and the beauty of the Illinois Ozarks. So he relinquished the postmaster job to become a rural mail carrier. One Sunday in the spring of 1937 he was walking down a country road with a friend following services in a little Methodist church at Oak Grove, .$Ie had walked many times with this friend, and the two had' spent pleasant hours strolling alongside the streams and the wandering Mississippi which flows nearby. Often on these walks they had discussed the need for closer unity in- thinking and effort among the many Christian denominations. Gradually (he idea evolved that there should 'be some place where people of all denominations could meet occasionally for united worship. As the two pondered this idea, their attention centered on the more prominent and impressive of the nearby mountains, Bald Knob. This, one of the higfhest and most scenic mountains in the Midwest, they agreed, would be an ideal site for such a meeting. Thus it was that a previously obscure ; mountain, seventy miles fronrv the fopulation center Of the nation, became tjruly the heart of ah inspired religious ac~ tivity. Invitations went out; .and a small but enthusiastic gathering of 250 people attended the first Easter sunrise service on Bald Knob in 1937- For this pervice three crude crosses, fashioned from railroad ties by members of the CCC from a nearby camp, were the only adornment the mountain boosted. Those crosses still stand. AMERICAN PRODUCT Did you know that the rice you find on your grocer's shelf is an American --, not an Oriental -- product? America produces not only the rice consumed domestically, but expofts large' quantities on the world market. This abundance is due to the fact that rice is the most higfaly mechanized crop in this machineminded country, a far cry from the primitive rice paddies still seen in the Orient today.
