r* •i' Page Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, November 13, 1970 Washington Report — By — CONGRESSMAN WALTER B. JONES Last week Congress was still in the election recess. Of course the Election Day of November 3 was the main topic of interest throughout the nation last week. On the national level there were many surprises with both the Democratic and the Republican Parties claiming victories. My own analysis is that on the national level the results were not too conclusive for either party. An example of this is that two of my friends who I have had the honor of serving with in the House of Representatives, Auto Radiators CiMiMd, Roddod and RafMirod We remove and replace B & R Radiator Shop BRIDGETON ME 7-4504 ALL-SEASON AIR CONDITIONING warms or cools at a touch! S. B. Parked Company 1104 National Avenue ME 7-3397 L Lennox Comfort i Craftsmen A were successful in their bid for a Senate seat. One, the extremely liberal Democrat, John Tunney from California; and the other, a well known conservative Republican, Bob Taft in Ohio. Here in North Caroiina inasmuch as ail incumbent Congressmen were victorious, both Democrats and Republicans, obviously does not indicate any new voting patterns. In this connection, I want to again thank the voters of the First District for the confidence they expressed and I wiii strive in every way to justify this confidence. Recently, I had the pleasure of writing an article to be published on the generai subject of Personal Political Participation. In doing some research, I was somewhat concerned at the number of registered voters who frequently fail to exercise the very important right to vote. One example of this apathy or indifference was a hospital Irand issue presented to the voters of Pitt County during the recent election. This bond issue was for an outlay of $9 million and was extremely controversial with organized campaigns both pro and con. This was proven by the closeness of the vote, for the final tabulation showed 6,190 for and 5,341 against. The serious factor of this bond issue was that out of a total of 26,143 registered voters in Pitt County, only 11,531 cast their votes either for or against this; which in the broadest sense, means that a minority of slightly more than 44 percent of the registered voters made the ultimate decision for the majority of 56 percent. Since first running for a public office many years ago, I have always urged all people to exercise their privilege of voting, for it is the only means that the average citizen has of directly participating in the affairs of government. Congress will reconvene on Monday, November 16, and in all probability will continue in session until mid or late December. cer!i^ed Lennox •. i . • -jpc TRU-TREAD TIRE CO. itocappMl A Vulciirfwif il3 CnvMi S». - Ml.7'2417 K E Y S KEYS ERNUL'S SPORT SHOP ALL KINDS KEYS COLUMBIA BICYCLES NEW ADDRESS 2006 OAKS RD.

For instance, many home movies become dull be cause all scenes and se quences are shot from the same distance and perspect ive. There is neither varie ty nor impact. Next time you watch a movie in a theater or on television, pay attention to how the came.'a is used. One classic technique, for instance, is to begin with a long range "establishing" shot, then move to a "me dium shot" which zeroes in on the subject, and then to a dramatic close-up. You can do the same, and one thing that makes [t easy is the newer "zoom" lens, which makes it easy fo 90 smoothly from "es tablishing" shots all the way In to effertive close-ups.
