Miss Markas is presently employed as Executive Di rector, Bright Leaf Girl Scout Council, Durham. She had been previously employ Photographer Has Strange Experiences WASHINGTON? "There I was up in the tree with noth ing but a paddle and an empty oil can. ' National Geographic photo grapher Richard H. Stewart found himself in this plight after an eddy caught his dug out canoe and whipped it against a fallen tree in Pan ama's turbulent C a s c a j a 1 River. Mr. Stqwart, oil can, and paddle were catapulted 25 feet into the tree's branches, several thousand dollars worth of photographic equip mment sank with the boat be neath the swirling water. "When I got back to the of fice," Stewart recalled, "the first thing they asked me was, "Did you get any pictures?" Photographic Hallmark Mr. Stewart didn't record his mishap, but National Geo graphic photographers for de C*d?s have overcome hun dreds of unexpected hazards to carry out assignments. Their colorful photographs from all over the world are a hallmark of the magazine, first published in October, 1888. When W. Robert Moore, Chief of the Magazine's For eign Editorial Staff, returned from a South American as signment, he was asked if he had gone where no out sider had been before. "Yes," he replied. "Forty feet down in ? rock fissure in British Guiana." Mr. Moore was crossing a crude log bridge near Kaiet eur Falls when a log gave way. He was saved by a lone boulder wedged into the cre vice. The impact jammed Mr. Moore's camera into his chest, and he bore its imprint for weeks. Mr. Moore, who has been a member of the National Geographic Staff for 32 years, lost the aeat of his pants while scrambling away from a charging elephant in Kenya, Africa. But he managed to get some dramatic photo graphs. Dr. Melville Bell Grosvenor, President and Editor of the National Geographic Society, scored one of the Magazine's many firsts in 1030 when he made the first successful natural - color photographs from the air. He rode In Na*y dirigibbles over Wash ington, D. C? New York, and Asbury Park, New Jersey, to ??to the pioneering pictures. "Frequently the photogra phic voyages consisted of shadow-chasing," Dr. Grosve recalled. *?? * Lain speed, the Wld arrive at the do ?W ** J<"? 1* time to I inriap of clood fora baft W) Marden, National phy, sailed aboard the nu clear submarine U.S.S. Tri ton as both photographer and naval officer during its his toric cruise around the world submerged. George F. Mobley was giv en a short training course by the Washington, D. C., fire department before he was al lowed to climb a lofty fire ladder to obtain a striking areal view of the White House for the official guide to the executvie mansion. John E. Fletcher clambered up a 1,212-foot radio tower in Thule, Greenland, for a panoramic shot. He felt the spire sway ominously; guy wires fluttered in the cold wind. "I was conscious of an irresistible urge to hang on," he said. Mr. Fletcher traveled the length of Oregon's Cascade Range with a party of snow surveyors. Thrown from a tractor careening out of con trol, Mr. Fletcher fell be neath the treads. Only a hole in the snow saved him. Looking up, the photographer could see the spikes of the tractor treads spinning six inches above his eyes. "A few inches closer and they would have chewed my head off," he said. Manmad'a Act While photographing i c e fishermen on northern lakes, Thomas J. -Abercrombie de cided to get a fish-eye view. He and a companion plunged into the icy water and snap ped pictures beneath 20-inch thick ice. "Despite insulating rubber suits," Abercrombie wrote, "the cold was sheer horror. ed as Psychologist at the State Hospital at Butner, and as Executive Director of the Tarheelia Girl Scout Coun cil, Kannapolis.

I look back on my experien ces as the act of a madman." Jn a back alley of Marra j kech, Morocco, Robert F. Sis I son found himself caught in j a mob of Arabs r i o ti n g [ unsure of the photographer's i against the French. One Arab, | nationality, put a curved knife to Mr. Sisson's throat. When he shouted "Brooklyn Dodgers!" the Arab withdrew. I Howell Walker spent eight months photographing the aborigines of Amhe? Land in Northern Australia. His party was shipwrecked on that bleak coast and for a time believed lost. B. Anthony Stewart, Chief National Geographic Photog rapher, enjoyed perhaps the most fateful adventure while on his first major assignment. He asked authorities in a small Maine town to persuade the prettiest girls to serve as models. The first to arrive was Lillian Heald, who filled the bill so well that she ?octi became Mrs. Stewart.
