. ~OMPETITION RESULTS

• STREET SCENES~

The October competition produced
quite a large number of entries al-
though not as many as had been
anticipated. It was noticed that the
majority of competitors concentrated
their attentions on one particular
aspect of the street scene, for m-
stance a bus or tram or some delivery
van, instead of covering the full field
of street trading and traffic. The
winning entry was submitted by Mr.
J. Daborn of Walton on Thames, who
besides his general view of London solation award was also made to two
during the Election Day activities, young competitors from Birmingham
also included some very good scenes for their joint effort entitled "Busy
of the Lord Mayor's Show. A con- Brum".

YOUR OWN FILM LIBRARY

By K. 0. PAWLEY

Although I am keen on buying printed copies as well as making films, I must
admit that my collection has always been secreted in unused cupboards, usually
in disorder. Recently, however, the films have been arranged on &;play, and
this was done as follows.
From a wood-yard (or shop selling wooden mouldings) I purchased some i"
D-shaped moulding; this was glued to the title edge of the 400 ft. size carton
in which each film was supplied, allow 7 I I I 0" per box. Most stationers sell
imitation leather papers in a variety of colours in handy sized sheets costing but
a few pence, and a strip of such paper 7 I I I 0" x IS" was pasted round the box,
starting from the edge farthest from the wood. The finishing tou..:h was added
by applying a small gilt letter from a transfer sheet of the alphabet to the spine
of each and then an index compiled on a piece of card to enable any required
film to be quickly identified. The wood could, of course, be affixed to the
opposite edge of the carton and the leather paper arranged so that the printed
title is still legible when the box is turned round.
These containers have outwardly the shape of a book, and their uniformity
of size arid lettering makes -them appear an attractive "work" of many volumes.
