I Hatten feels that baseball is in

' the promoters are “trying to op

The way were going now. he j
: pointed out. "We are just making j
1 money for the people who own j
■ the parks.”
i The fiery catcher hope* to sell ]
' enough stock in the organization :
; “so that we can be able to rbnt
| the park, hire our 6wn tick«t tak
; j ers, and other help.”
. j When asked who would be the :
. | subscribers, and who would run j
. | the organization, Hatten skid he .
■! would like to have as many bust- j
| nessmen as possible to head up I
; the board of directors.
*My business,” he argues, 'ls !

Mr. toe Cambria of the Wash

with the leading members of

Hatten said he would gel ms
i players from as fa; away as Cuba.
J The team would play nightly, with
' j the players on salary. He proposes

I I manager, team-manager and "a- |

camera.* with you on vacation;
this year All you have to be is ■
one who’d like movies for re- :
membering the action and color: j
snapshots for remembering the
subjects that can be pictured
nicely with a still camera.
Since movies ate the newer, !
especially to us limited-budget
picture takers, we want to talk
most about them. Os course, now
that you can buy a really good:
movie camera for leas than S3O
(only a nickle less, bu’ it's still!
less), movie making comes easily j
within the family budget Won- j
derfui color movies cost less than j
10 cents a picture on the average
roll of film.
Use your movie camera to re
cord action, not to make still
! snapshots. Don't have people pore :

I such a waste. Shoot action. The
j diver in mid-air, the carriages
| cloppmg along the road, the logs
j floating down a .stream. Wherever
! you go for vacation, you are
j bound to find plenty of subjects
that you'd love to picture if there
, weren't so much motion involved,
j Take your whole trip home- 6n
1 film by using both a still and
movie camera.
The new, inexpensive mons
cameras are snapshot simple,
j They are as easy to use as a box
! camera. There’s only one setting
: to be made—that in accordance
| with how much sun there is—
: and right on the front of the
camera i a guide to help you
with the one setting.
So, here's to happy vacationing
with two cameras—one for stills
one for movies.
