By last week it had twelve regional chairmen, 130 district chairmen and 667 community chairmen (v. a final goal of 1,000).

The new film (called "Kodacolor") differs from former color films in that it makes a transparent negative from which prints can easily be made on paper.* As a negative, not only are its light-&-shade effects reversed but its colors appear complementary to those of nature...
