Jig Mounts Slides in Glass By IRVING DESFOR AP Newsfealures An unusually simple system for mounting color transparencies between glass and binding the edges quickly and neatly has recently been introduced. The system is called "Combi- Quick" and consists of a unique plastic mounting jig and a set of prepared Danish glass, aluminum masks and self-adhesive binding strips to make 50 complete glass slides. Besides the standard 35mm 2x2 inch mounts, sets are available for stiperslides, haK-frame '(or single-frame, as some call it) and Instamatic transparencies according to Hudson Photographic Industries, Irvington-on- Hudson, N.

Y. The simplicity of the system is apparent after watching a 'demonstration by someone familiar with it. With deft, sure moves, a slide was mounted in less a 10 seconds. The four edges of the glass sandwich were bound without overlaps, bubbles or bumps. The first step consists of peeling a set of prealipned and cut binding strips with adhesive backs so that the set lies in place on the four-section mounting jig.

The jig is turned over so that it rests on a foam rubber platform. Next the transparency is positioned on an aluminum foil mask which is folded over and placed the two-inch squares of orecleatxed jslass. The heart of the system is in the next four moves. The alass sandwich is pushed Sown the center slot of the first groove in the mounting jig until it hits the foam rubber base. This acion automaticallv makes contact with (he adhesive binding and wraps it around the first edge neatly and securely.

Another glass edge is pushed flown groove number Iwo and the second edge is bound. The third nnd fourth edges fallow in nuick succession and the job is done. The completed glass mounted slide has one white edue so thai it he placed pronerlv right-side-un projection. Some care must be taken to insert al' the trnnsnarencies in Viewing direction so thai all Ihe glass mounts are i An idea to improve the composition of some 35mm slides has been introduced bv Agneko.

They're marketing "Cron-It" masks in sets Which include nine different an- peratures. They are on light weight card stock, prescored In the center for easy folding i in 2x2 inch glass Any transparency which" has some disturbing element at the sides or bottom or top can. be cropped to eliminale the fault by using one of the nine assorted inner mask openings. Sometimes a slide can be dramatized by making it into an extremely narrow horizontal format. Thus one of the masks resembles a wide-screen picture.

Sometimes yon can improve a slide by retaining only the inner heart of it. The nine mask open- ings range from 23mm 35mm to 17mm 22mm. In addition, for the standard type slide binding before Combi-Quick Agneko has available a new gold-metalized mylar tape in a dispenser with a cutting device. It is three- eights inches wide, 300 inches long and is extremely thin and strong. Tourist facilities in Yellowstone National Park are receiving a face-lifting this year costing over a half-million dollars.

'In order to keep pace with the rapidly expanding travel to Ihe nation's oldest anil largest national park, an unprecedented figure is being spent on our hotels, lodges and cabins," reported George Beall, president of the Yellowstone Park Company. "We want to be ready for an expected 2,000,000 tourists (his season." Boa! announced 174 separate construction projects on lodging facilities at Old Faithful, Lake, Mammoth, Fishing Bridge, West Thumb, Canyon Village and Roosevelt Lodge. Expenditures range from $100,000 for improved heating at Canyon Village, the world's largest motel--to $500 for repairs on Yellowstone's antique, colorful stagecoaches.

Included in the renovation are Success Is Prison for With Only One Goal: Plato' By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)--Curbstone comments of a Pavement Plato: Success is the greatest danger to a man with only one dream. The one-dream man, once he gains his goal, is imprisoned by his own achievement. Winning disillusions him. He is like Alexander the Great who, accordng to legend, drank himself to death because there didn't seem much else left worth Victory is always a menace to the one-track mind.

It is a particular peril to the military mind. Adolf Hitler, who did and said many wrong things, was right on one point. That was when he complained that victory made his generals timid. This has been true of most generals in most armies throughout history. Once they win they hesitate ever again to put themselves into a position where they might lose.

But success can be a major foe in any line of endeavor--lo Ihe businessman who makes only one financial coup, the actor who has only one oulstand- ing role, the writer who has one good book in his system and then sits barren before his empty-minded typewriter. It is multiplicity of dream, nol singleness of goal that preserves youth. Age, of course, is a hard thing to define. There are all kinds of ways to measure age. There is one's calendar age, one's mental age, one's emotional age, one's physiological age, the age one feels--and the age that other people estimate you to be.

There is also the problem of sometimes feeling young at night and like the grandfather ol Methuselah in the morning. It's all rather complicaled. But there is a common point in many lives at which there is no doubt that youth says fare- welt and age.says hello. This is when a man's desire to perform an excellence becomes less important lo him than his mere wish to survive. It is here that he ceases to be a potential hero of struggle and becomes a human robot and a coward.

His arteries no longer shout an inside bravery; his veins only whisper to his heart of his great and' gathering fears. The castle of his being lias been breached not by strangers but by himself. He has pushed his own panic button. He can never be young again. His own doubts have made him old.

The more dreams and hopes you have, the less likely you are to be whipped by the defeat ol one or ruined by the success of another. You are too busy with many possibilities to become a victim cither of the despairs of frustration or the corrosive timidity of victory. This is the best recipe for slaying young believe there is: To prosper as many hopeful dreams and endeavors as far as you can as long as you can.

Dy Nathaniel Benchley.

McGraw-Hill $4.50. Slimmer theater is a well-established attraction for vacationers in New England. Benchley has given it the switch, with a comic novel about winter (heater for the natives. One nice thing about Benchley's succession of novels is that he gives you comedy that is funny, not bitter; comedy that makes use of amusing human beings instead of the neurotic sewer inhabitants cluttering so many of the ultraliterary novels of the day. The scene is an island community in which an autocratic old spinster, Miss Warren, has organized an amateur theater in order to enliven the long winter, when the local residents practically hibernate while they await the next tourist-catching season.

Hired to run this outfit is one professional from New York, Dennis Pastor, a not-quite- successful and not-quite-young actor and director who needs a job. Because there is a lot of ham in most of us, the people of this i ty get thoroughly steamed up over the play. Pastor finds himself running a real menagerie, including the restless wife of a stuffy businessman, a lecherous promoter, the fey maid of Miss Warren (and her feyer sister), the sky local druggist, an eccentric drifter filled with defense mechanisms, a pathetic old carpenter and many others. The excitemen of the foot- i induces remarkable changes in the highly varied lives of the people involved. Disasters, frustrations and absurd phenomena occur.

Don't underrate this Benchley. You may think his very inventive twists of plot and character are no more than amusing sleight-of-hand. You may assume that his touches of irony and pathos at the right moments are rather transparent and unsurprising. But somehow in the midst of these seemingly facile tricks he manages to give a wry, casual flavor to tragt-com- ic themes that go beyond mere entertainment Miles A.

Keller will introduce the world of hypnotism to his audience at midnight.

He does not appear in turban or oriental robes. The average audience prefers him as he is, a friendly man with a practiced common sense approach to his subject. Keller began his study at hypnosis in 1944 and has spent years at study and research to obtain originality. He is the fjrst to laugh at people who call him a black magician. He stresses, hypnosis is a genuine science which can be mastered by anyone with a good background in psychology.
