TOWN CRIER COMMENT CCORDING to reports, attempts are now being made to divert the State Highway department's gasoline tax revenues into the A general fund of cities and counties. Gasoline taxes and vehicle license funds paid by Washington moto^ ists constitute the only revenue received by this state department, For several years now funds have been accumulating faster than they can be used. New projects now under construction do not begin to drain these resources. Repairs and maintenance expenses amount to little. Clever politicians, no doubt, have spent nights thinking up ways and means they can get their claws on this money easily. And th^ move to swell the general fund may be just another scheme. At any rate, politicians feel they'd like to have a chance to handh. the money in their own sweet way. All that's necessary is the author ization to spend. Then crooked office holders, in collusion with equally as crooked contractors and business men, will see to it they get all they can.

T'S JUST a colorful picture, the March Town Crier cover, but behind its gloss and rich color lies the story of over eight years intensive Color research on a photographic and reproduction process planned to revolutionizI e present-day methods of reproducing natural color printing. This direct color photographic process developed by Ralph Setsuzo Ochi, Japan-born and Seattle-educated photographer, may someday on the make natural color photographs as usual as the black and white pic tures seen in every newspaper and magazine. The Ochi natural color photograph portrays amazing depth and rich ness in color not obtainable in the ordinary hand-tinted picture. Yet Cover the photograph can be produced and reproduced for printing inex pensively and easily, especially when mass production methods are applied. It was decided two months ago that a ski-girl cover would be nice for either the February or the March issue. Ralph Ochi was contacted and he agreed to take the picture. But owing to the proximity of magazine deadline time (February), the proposed trip to Mount Rainier or Snoqualmie Pass was out. The idea was to bring mountains to Seattle. Someone suggested the huge replica of Mount Rainier which rises its snowy head in the rear of the Rainier National Park Company office in Metropolitan Center. In less than an hour, not counting the time spent in waiting for several models to appear, the photograph was taken. At the present time the TOWN "I want this to appear as if the picture was really taken at Rainier," instructed Photographer Ochi. "I want the model to look as if she's CRIER is the only monthly pub just finished a ski jaunt or a long hike." So the model was directed to just sit down and act natural. No one lication in the Pacific Northwest even bothered to brush off the moss which adhered to her ski apparel. And no attempt was made to give the picture that smart, voguey, or to offer its readers direct color even department store fashion appearance. Ordinarily, lighting equipment similar to that used in motion pictures photography. are necessary. But just ordinary lights used by any photographer were used. At the present time natural color photographs produced in national magazines and for various advertising purposes cost thousands of dol lars and take weeks to produce. Ochi's method takes just a few days, no elaborate preparations are necessary, and costs not thousands but merely a few hundred dollars for both photograph and plates. The Ochi color shot is made in a fraction of a second by the simul taneous exposure, in one comera, of three plates. Each plate or film is sensitive to a definite color—red, yellow, and blue. And when extreme detail is desired, to a fourth—black. After the picture is taken the negatives are sent to the engraver. Paul R. Bernhard, of the Artcraft Engraving Company, Seattle, has been cooperating with Ochi in his experiments and has helped put the process on a practical basis. Today nearly any good engraver can make the three or four copper plate necessary. When the plates are put together a color picture appears as beautiful as the eye dense) of the camera saw it. And often the camera lense sees more beauty than is apparent to man. Thus, the natural color picture is not only better than the artificial hand-color method, but soon may be less expensive because all the skilled, tedious work of the artist is eiminated. But today there happens to be no one concern that manufactures all of the chemicals and paraphernalia necessary to produce a single color photograph. Often, for instance, Ochi must wait months just because 5 or 10 grains of a certain rare chemical does not happen to be available, and it is necessary to send to Germany, France or England for it. Lenses used, for instance, come from England and were obtained only after years of experimentation and the expenditure of thousands of dollars. And all of this makes the completed picture expensive. At the present time Ochi can and has produced a few color portraits of prominent Seattleites, but the cost is beyond the reach of the average Ry Mark Joel man. MARCH, 1936 13
