Picture Patter by Glen Gardner This small column of the Millard Mill-ard County Chronicle will be devoted de-voted each week to those of you who might be called or classed as a "Shutter Bug". For those who have taken the time to snap a picture, or have the patience to go in a dark room, (without some dizzy blonde or hot-tempered hot-tempered redhead by your side) this column is dedicated. Each week we will attempt to give you a few hints on the proper procedure to solve problems that may confront you in your photo efforts. Our First Hint: Before we start any part of photo work, we must go back to the teachings of our lt grade teachers: "Cleanliness". This is very important. Whether it be work in the dark room or merely snapping the camera, cam-era, we must be sure the camera ! is free frum dirt and dust, and all the processing equipment is spotlessly spot-lessly clean.
