I observed the Exhibits Dcparment as thv\ out the finish ing touches on exhibits and as they were set up in the 12 large street windows. Ever since I heard Kate Coplan talk at a Library Conven tion I had dreamed of seeing Iter at work, little realizing that 1 would have that opportunity. All these exhibit windows are street level and it is fun to watch the people as trey "try" to pass by. hut some thing usually catches the eye aiid they have to stop. While in Haiti more I attended the Fifth Annual Program Planning institute held at Johns Hopkins University and one of a series on Crime being con ducted at Branch 17 in a commun ity predominately Negro popula tion. Nell Scott with whom I had worked in Denver was visiting the Library at the same time to study its organization. A.staff member of the Enoch Pratt Library had just been to Brooklyn.

He made $50,000 in about nine ty days and in order to keep him from making any more, circulars were sent to practically every city in the country telling \ arious civic organizations about Mr. Garvin John Swain, manager of the Ra leigh Merchants Association, told us about the incident. Here's what happened and it happened a number of years ago as you can tell by the car prices: Mr. Garvin walks into the Caro lina Buick Company in Raleigh (by way of illustration, although the actual episode took place else where! and talks to Mr. Hoover, the manager, about buying a new Buick automobile. "How much is that one over there?" asks Mr. Garvin. "Eleven hundred and fifty." "I believe that's exactly the mod el I want." says Mr. Garvin. "Will you take my check for it?" "Well. Mr. Garvin; you see, I don't know you, but if you can se-t cure proper identification, I'll be very glad to take it." "You know Roland Mmnford, don't you?" "Very well." "Suppose you call him up about the cheek." So. Mr. Hoover goes to the phone and calls up Mr. Mumford. "Who, Frank Garvin?" says Mr. Mumford. "Yes. indeed; he's per fectly O. K. He has stopped with us at the Sir Walter Hotel for years and I've cashed all kinds of checks for him. You don't have to worry about old Frank." Mr. Hoover thanks him. hangs up the phone and goes back to talk to Mr. Garvin. "The check will be all right," he tells the customer politely, "I thought it \vould be," says Mr. Garvin with a smile. So he takes his new Buick car and leaves the garage with it. Three or four hours later. Mr. Garvin drives up to the C. C. Motoi Company and asks to speak to Mr. Marshall, "Mr. Marshall." he says, "1 ( bought this new Buick this morn ing. but I'm disappointed in it and I want to get rid of it." "Sorry, Mr. Garvin." says Mr. Marshall, "but we don't buy new cars of other makes. We handle Plymouth and Chrysler." "But I'm not selling thlV as a new car?you can consider it a sec ond-hand car." Mr. Marshall hesitates a moment. Then: "Well, we could allow you only seven hundred dollars for it." "That suits me." says Mr. Garvin, and Mr. Marshall almost falls to the floor in surpris#. And. who wouldn't be startled? Here's a man Who buys a car in the morning, then wants to sell it in the afternoon and take a loss of more tha four hundred dollars. Something funny about a propo sition of that nature. The more Mr. Marshall thinks about it, the more suspicious he gets. Finally, he excuses himself a moment, goes into another office and calls up Mr. Hoover at the Carolina Buick Company. "Jack did you sell a man by the name of Garvin a new Buick this morning?" "Yes I did. Why?" "He's around here trying to sel' it to me for seven hundred dol lars." "He is? The darned scoundrel! 1 see through it all now. Hold hin there. Don't turn him or the cai loose and I'll be around with i policeman inside of five minutes. And sure enough, in five minute they're around. Mr. Garvin is vcr; much surprised, but he realize that the jig is up, so he submit; to the arrest. They take him around to jail where ? due to his inability t( IAFF-A-DAY C0|K 1 *A\, K?n|Tcj?un\ >) rvdiule. Inc., World righi> rttcrvcd. "It isn't the original cost of a mink coat.

The next morning he is given a trial in the city court. Mr. Hoover and Mr. Marshall are there as prosecuting witnesses. Mr. Hoover tells all abuut the transaction and Mr. Garvin sits there with a very sad expression upon his countenance. Finally the judge turns to him and says: "All right, sir; what have you got to say for yourself?" "I am innocent, your honor.'' "Didn't you give Mr. Hoover this worthless check? "1 ga\e him the check, your honor, but it isn't worthless. And if you will cail up the American Trust Company in Charlotte, where I do my banking business, they will tell you that the check is per fectly good. I'll be glad to pay for the telephone call." Mr. Hoover suddenly begins to realize that something is wrong. He goes to the nearest telephone booth, calls up the American Trust Company and asks them about his check for eleven hundred and fifty dollars. "The check is perfectly good." says the voice at the other end of the line. "Mr. Garvin keeps a good sized account with us all the time." Mr. Hoover, beginning to feel faint, returns to the court room. "Your Honor." he says weakly. "I'm afraid there's been a mistake made. I have just called up the bank and they say that the check is all right." "Case dismissed," says the Judge. Mr. Hoover walks over to where Mr. Garvin is sitting. Mr. Hoover is trying his best to smile. Mr. Garvin isn't smilng at all. "I want to extend to you my sin cere apologies," says Mr. Hoover. Mr. Garvin looks at him coldly. "I'm afraid your apologies will not suffice, Mr. Hoover. You have placed me in a very embarrassing position. My lawyers will see you in the next few days." Of course, you know what hap pens. By the time the lawyers get through talking to him. Mr. Hoover is glad to compromise the case for two or three thousand dollars. If he doesn't, Mr. Garvin threatens PARK Theatre Program JUST TWO DAYS LEFT TO SEE THIS EXCITING MUSICAL! DON'T MISS IT!

The use of the Raleigh names was simply a matter of convenience. And What can the law do about it? We've asked several lawyers, and they claim there isn't a thing that can be done.

Two new shutter attachments should make gadget hounds happy. The first is a re mote control unit which enables a photographer to shoot from a dis tance up to 34 feet from the cam era. It consists of two sections of special tubing plus a rubber bulb. When attached to the shutter, you're all set for animals, wildlife and bashful people. The second gadget screws into the cable release socket and will synchronise any camera not having built-in synchronization. It can also be adjusted for proper timing with electronic flash. Its odd name: the Passive Tripper. HOOKS on hand range from a beginner's basics to a specialist's guide to photo retouching with an airbrush. "Short Cut to Photography" by i Godfrey Frankel (Sterling Pub lishers, $2.50) is aimed at teen* agers and beginners. It skims very lightly over the technical side in an effort to keep starters from getting bogged down. Illustrated with many prize winning pictures by high school photo contestants,! the book might make a suitable graduation gift to start a young ster off on the photo hobby. With a little more experience, book number two might come in handy. "Everybody's Photo Course" is a 50 cent, soft-cover, how-to-do it booklet newly revised by U. S. Camera. Twenty-five lessons take you from "How to Hold a Camera" to "Multiple Flash and Speed light". Only photographers with a spe cialized art career in mind would tackle "The Airbrush Technique of Photographic Retouching" by Walter S. King and Alfred L Slade (MacMillan). It's a spiral bound guide book wtih step-by-step les sons on commercial photographic touching. ? ? ? WHAT'S NEW? Probably the orld's largest photographic equip lent show is Photokina, held year r in Cologne, Germany. Among le 200,000 who attended Photo lna 1954 recently were two Amer :an editors, Gus Wolfman and ohn Wolbarst of Modern Photog aphy. Here are a few items from heir prepubllcation report. German makers of the compur hutter are introducing a new ynchro compur shutter that will wing changes in camera handling ind exposure meter readlnf. They lave added another speed on the shutter so that changing from one ipeed to another will represent ;lther one-half or double the >peed. There is an interlocking mechanism between shutter speeds and the diaphragm. If a definite shutter speed and lens opening is selected and subsequently the speed is changed, the diaphragm opening automatically will change to give the same relative exposure. Also a new light value scale has been added to the shutter with the numbers from 2 to 18 in red. New exposure meters will give this number so that diaphargm open ings and shutter speeds can be for gotten. It is expected to simplify photography for amateur photog raphers.
