Tears flowed freely hat week as the cast and crew at MASH filmed the final Kent and parted company to go their separate ways atm' 11 years Be rs of togetherness. Throughout its years, the comedy series, based oh adventures at a medical outpost during the Kievan War, has stayed near the top of the ratings and won every major award; both as a series and for its,individeal stars, MASH is not dying because of poor ratings or bed feelings among the cast. Is fact, through all the years, there was no dissension among the performers. But last year, they collectively voted to end the series because they felt the development of their characters had covered every aspect of human ex- perience. Besides that, every„major performer has become a star because of the series and greater challenges and opportunities await them. Alan Alda, especially, has been the recipient of several awards for his portrayal of Hawkeye and developed as a talented writer and sensitive director. During its lifetime, MASH won 14 Emmy Awards, several Golden Globes and the George Foster Peabody Award for excellence in television production. 0-0-0 If you ever want te be lulled to sleep during an haw ofrelaxation, turn on an Anne Murray special! (7m' own Canadian girl-next-deor Anne took us on a Caribbean cruise on a special presented on the CBC last weekend. The scenery was beatt$itil and some of the music was acceptable. But the stow was as exciting as Bold mashed potatoes. It had no sparkle, no vitality, no magic. Even the script, by Alan Thicke, was dun and unimaginative. I'm proud that Anne Murray has moved Canada itato the international took scene. But she is devoting halfof her energy t ober 't'!tY weer - and it's evident. Canadians might accept her easy-going, who -cares at- titude toward her e: usic. But the world dem ; ds en- tertainment fro.::. its highly - paid stars, not leftover lullabies. 0--0--0 Another Canadian Otter who made her mark on the music world in 1982 was Sylvia. Her recording of "Nobody" hit the top charts and earned her nominations for American Music Awards' favorite 'country single and favorite country female star. In the first category, she lest to Kenny Rogers' ren- dition of "Love Will Turn You Around" and in the second, she was defeated by Barbara Mandrell. Rogers was named favorite country male and Alabama the favorite country group. The 10th annual awards' presentation took place in Les Angeles. Pop awards for favorite male and female went to John Cougar and Rick Springfield (tied) and Olivia Newton -John. Lionel Ritchie's "Truly" was named favorite pop record- ing and Daryl Hall and Jotan Oates were the favorite pop group. Willie Nelson bridged two worlds as his album "Always On My blind" was warned the favorite in both the pop and multi, fields. Wieners for soul music were Diana Ross and Lionel Ritchie (favorite male and female), Aretha Franklin (album), Marvin Gaye (single) and Kool and the Gang (group) . Kenny Rogers received the Award of Merit for his contribution not just to the music world, but to all of mankind through his Runty involvements in charitable eaas. Through the Leri By HOLT CONFER inolta's Auto Meter l01 I've been a longtime ad- vocate of hand-held light inters. The light meter built into your camera works very well when the light is at your back, or when you know well enough about the rules of picture taking to be able to override that built-in sys- tem. Obviously it just isn't possible to take pictures only when the light is at your back, and everyone doesn't know enough to open up the aperture two stops when the subject is backlighted, or one stop for a side -lighted subject. And to make matters even more confusing, those two rules I just gave you are only averages, depend- ing on the intensity of the light, they could vary by a hall to a full stop in either direction. Confusing? You bet! But there's one way you can be almost positive your exposure is correct, and that's by using my old friend, the hand-held teeter. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to tell you about four types of hand-held me- ters - each with a differ- ent function - ,that are available to photographers. I got all four of these meters from Minolta, a company that you often go to for cameras, lenses and Cokin filters. Well, the Mi- nolta folks do a great job with ,.Mand -held light me- ters - they aren't cheap (something you'll realize when you see the suggested retail prices) - but when yea are serious about your hobby, or if your livelihood depends on properly ex- posed photographs, the price is no longer a a pri- mary consideration. •••••••••911•01/1 8, • • • • • • • • • • ariae•••a••••a•**a 4•••••••••••••o••- • • • 3...CKVA BAMIIE a..wlnares•Alo iC..:WON CHICAGO' 5..i i0ROIr o 10-..CFPL LONDON l...

The First of the hand- held light meters is the one you'll use for just about every picture - it's the Auto Meter III. In making this meter, the Minolta people have combined the advantages of micropro- cessor technologyeand liq- uid -crystal digital - ana- log display with a memory capacity. I realize all that elec- tronic talk makes the Auto Meter III sound complicat- ed, but it really is quite easy to operate. The im- portant thing is not to as- sume you understand bow touse it and rush off and put it to the test without reading directions for pho- tographic equipment, be- cause as miniaturization allows more and more ca- pability to be packed into less and less space, you'll find yourself faced with a whole lot of very handy products that didn't exist a year or two ago. Take, for instance, the memory function of the Auto Meter III. You might not think a memory in a light meter is important until you have to check the level of brightness in two or three areas of the pic- ture. In the past, when you needed to check out sever- al light readings, you ei- ther had to store them in your own memory or write them down, so you could compare them later. With the Auto Meter III, you can, with the push of a but- ton, store up to three light readings, and then, recall them individually (or see them displayed all at once) when you get back to your camera position and need to make a decision on what • • eneVAs „„ TRICKY SHOT -This is .the kind of scene where you need all the metering help you can get- shooting into the sun, yet holding on to the detail in the shadowed areas. (Photo courtesy Eastman Kodak Co.) settings to use. Granted that isn't a fea- ture you'd use with every picture, but if you are par- ticular about your expo- sures, the memory capabil- ity is a nice thing to have. All the readings on this meter are digital. When you first turn the meter on, you'll see displayed an EV value of "0" and an ASA speed of 100. With well - marked buttons, you can raise or lower the ASA set- ting to match your film; then with another button, you switch from ASA to time- here the initial set- ting is always 1/60 of a sec- ond. (Note: Only the figure "60" is displayed, you have to realize the reciprocal number.) Once again, you can raise or lower the shutter speed, by using the same "up" or "down" but- ton set. Now you're ready to take the light reading. Since the Auto Meter III comes as an incident light meter, you'll want the frosted collection dome pointing toward your cam- era position. Incidentally, the collection dome swivels through 270 de- grees so you can stand in a lot of positions and still have the dome facing the camera. Your light reading will always show initially as an EV value, but if you aren't familiar with this scale, a press of another button changes the EV numbers to f-stops. There are seven accesso- ries you can add to the Auto Meter III - a neutral density diffuser, a 10 -de- gree spot diffuser, a re- flected light attachment, a spot mask, a flat diffuser as well as a mini -receptor with a booster. Is the Auto , eter III worth the price? When you consider the cost of cam- era equipment, film and processing, lies a shame to spend all that money and then end up with unaccept- able pictures because your exposures were incorrect. From a professional point of view, I'd have to answer that question affirmative- ly. Facts a out oodburning stoves. The best method of controlling creosote is to prevent its build-up by maintaining a briskly burning fire with dry, well -seasoned wood and by maintaining a flue temper- ature exceeding 250°F. which will prevent creosote condensation.
