"NOTABLE eee PHOTO OF A BYGONE ERA: Geor;

In the year 1890.

ge Eastman, photographed on his way to England

100 Years of Great Travel Photos

It has been years since
George Eastman began
making photography easi-
er for the amateur. He
started by producing dry
glass-plate negatives, then
invented the first roll film,
and finally introduced the
No. 1 Kodak camera,
grandfather of the compa-
ny’s present line of cam-
eras.

Travelers of his era were
among the first people to
appréciate these new de-
velopments in photo tech-
nology. At that time, the
camera was loaded with a
roll of film that would take
100 pictures. When the
traveler returned home, he
sent the camera to the

: Eastman Company facto-

ry in Rochester, N.Y. La-
ter, he would receive his
100 pictures, beautifully
mounted, along with his
camera, loaded with
another roll of film.

If you’re planning on
traveling, be sure and see a
travel agent first. Because
agents receive their com-
missions from airlines and
hotels, there is usually no
charge to you, the custo-
mer. An, agent can help
you find the least-expen-
sive tours or charters for
you, as well as save you
valuable time!

Consider traveling to an
off-beat vacation spot...
it may :be less expensive
than the more popular lo-
cations. :

An increasingly com-
mon vacation tactic is that
of time-sharing. This js

But—whereas those
early models were fairly
bulky and cumbersome,
black boxes—today’s Ko-
dak Tele-Ektralite 40
camera, typical of a new
breed, is pocket-size and
boasts a variety of special
features unimaginable 100
years ago.

*_ For instance, the Telé-
Ektralite camera has a
built-in electronic flash for
indoor and low-light
shooting and a dual, tele-
photo and normal lens ca-
pability. The telephoto
lens is great for portraits,
close-ups of small objects,

and scenes when you want -

to get a closer look at
something relatively far
away.

‘Whether you possess
the latest in camera tech-
nology or one of the early,
box camera miodels, here
are some helpful hints

_ Holiday cost cutting

well worth investigating by
people who like to vaca-
tion in the same area each
year. Time-sharers invest a
specified amount of
money in exchange for a
specified stay each year,
and are thus assured of
annual vacation time at
their favorite spot.

Another way to keep the
cost of travel down is to
take your vacation during
the off-season. Cruises to
warm climes during the
winter months can be bar-
gains, as can air fares and
hotel rates.

Happy travels!

from the Kodak experts on
how to get the best vaca-
tion pictures: see
The first tip is to keep
that camera nearby.The
unexpected can often be
the most spectacular pic-
ture, but not if your cam-
era is packed away. It’s
wiser to carry film and
camera in your hand lug-

“gage.

When taking pictures, a

little imagination goes.a’ ff

long way.Consider the hu-
man angle. While historic.
monuments and beautiful,
landscapes are de rigueur,
action photos can be more
exciting. Try to get your
traveling companions into
the pictures, not just
standing there, but-ac-
tively involved. Pass the
camera around, or ask a
fellow tourist to take some
pictures so that you will be
in some of them.

Watch the lighting while
taking pictures. Noonday
sun is fine, but there’s no

-need to limit yourself.

Early morning or late-af-
ternoon lighting is also
great for photos. Overcast
days, with their subtler
colors, can also produce
good pictures.

Check the horizon. Put "

ting the horizon in the

“middle of every picture

can get boring. A low hori-
zon suggests spaciousness;
a high one brings every-
thing closer..(A crooked
horizon is not good at all,

-and suggests, that possibly

it’s time to come home!)
Frame your pictures. A
tree, a clump of grass, and
a person in the foreground
help give the picture a
sense of depth and add

interest to the photo.

Foregoing Long Trips?

Try A Mini-Vacation!

With ‘the rising cost of.
travel, families may have

to forego that long, vaca--

tion trip for several shorter
trips. The mini-vacation,
or long weekend, has a
great deal to recommend it
—there is less expense in-
volved at once, and less
strain on everyone in gen-
eral, particularly parents!

Taking trips closer to
home is a good way to get
acquainted with the many
sources of recreation in
your area. Many families
have never gotten around
to visiting the fair, for
instance, and are missing
out on a great recreational
and. learning experience.
At the fair,-you can enjoy
amusement rides, watch
livestock being judged and
see an outstanding stage
show, all in one day.

Families who enjoy
travel can plan mini-vaca-
tions centered around a
specific event, such as a

rodeo, A long weekend at
one of the many rodeos
that are held throughout
the country can be an ex-
perience worth two weeks
somewhere else. In addi-
tion to‘the usual rodeo
events such as'calf roping,
bareback riding and steer

wrestling, there are col-*:

orful‘ parades and wild
horse races often sched-
uled, as well.

If your family particu-
larly enjoys music, you
might plan a mini-vaca-

tion around one of the.

many music festivals that
are offered from coast to

coast. Outstanding musi--

cians perform at these fes-
tivals, which are generally
held in the most scenic sur-
roundings.

Visiting historical spots :

is a good way to teach the
youngsters about their
heritage and enjoy some

sightseeing, as well, .

Travel Tips

For the Girls

Today’s smart young:

‘woman packs only the es-
sentials' for her vacation
and still travels in style. By

. Planning her wardrobe ‘in

advance, she can go light-
weight and care-free with
no excess baggage.

“To get.any trip off-the-
ground, experts suggest,

the following packing tips *

and helpful -hints for
easier goings“

Carry lightweight, cloth
luggage such as canvas
bags, which expand easily
if you shop along the way.

Stuff shoes and purses
with jewelry, film and
other small items to make
the best of all available
space.

Have plenty of plastic
bottles for cosmetics.

If you journey to sun
country, -pack a-sunburn
preventive. And for -sun-
exposed hair, include a
conditioner to soothe dry,
brittle strands.

- Roll up lingerie, nightie,

pantyhose or socks and
stuff into crevices where
nothing else fits.
“Take along wrinkle-re-
sistant, drip-dry clothes.
Mix and match outfits to
cut down on quantity.

Big plastic bags can be
travel life-savers. Use
them to tote cosmetics,
soiled laundry, shoes and

include extras for wet

shapes, and. before you.

know it, you have'a poc-
ketful of them. Back at the

“cottage or motel room,

they still look attractive
and desirable.: But, once
you get home, what does
one do with a boxful of
shells? Many of-us .stick
them away or toss them.

Instead, take a look'at
the boutique gift ‘shops
and departments and
you'll get a number of
ideas—decorative things
you can do at low cost, but:
for which stores charge a

hefty amount. If you have -
a large collection of differ-

ent. sizes; you can fill a
wide-mouthed bottle: or.
the ‘glass base of a lamp.
Or, you’can convert a
plain box into a decorative
piece in which to store any-
thing from ‘buttons and
bows to your favorite jew-

-elry.

To decorate a box, first

- coat the top and sides with
sand. Start on the sides,.

working with the lid open,
and smoothly spread El-
mer’s Glue-All over the
surface and sprinkle lib-

erally with sand. Let each’

side dry before working on
the next. Do the top last.

CRAFTING WITH SHELLS is.alot of fun. and if you found tho shells” -

yourself, the end results, such as this box, will bring back happy

memories: The shells are arranged in a snake-llke design. Apply a~

fine line of Elmer's Wonder Bond Plus along the bottom edge of cne

you only fave to hold each sl

When dry, ‘spray one or
two light coats of Krylon

spray paint in the color~

you want (if you’ don’t
want the color of the sand’
as you got it from your
beach or craft store).

‘Make a Design

Arrange shells by sizes

paper the size of the top

fer the shells to the top of
