Therefore, .it is wholly, fitting, that it .should try to be the best and most eagers ser­ vant possible. A retail store which hides itself from those whoni it wants to employ, becomes under­ employed, and so it-sales decline. * The public inclines in largest num­ bers toward those stores , which seek its . attention and custom. It takes the advertising store at its own valu­ ation. It likes to do business with' those who manifest eagerness to . serve it. It likes to -buy at those stores which- have to renew theft stacks frequently^ . Advertising is just* communicat-, ini news and information about oile’s store and service, tt is just a form of talking. It is those who talk who are listened to. Silent stores lose out to- stores which carry on -conversa­ tions—in the form of newspaper ad- vertisments—with those whose cus­ tom they want. - • Any retailer who wants to get , more . Customers-—(for/. the replace- . ment of customers who become” lost to him and for the >expanSion of his. busfnpss-H-can surely get them by making his Store important in'Their eyes, and by putting in his adter- tisements the kind of information which will help buyers crime to de­ cisions. A; THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1936 (Chesley Enterprise) Otto McCleVis was appointed Chief of Police in Wiarton eleven years ago last September when he /was only 23 years old, and after /serving faithfully in his official du­ ties for nearly four years,- resigned his , position. when appointed a mem­ ber of the Provincial police force seven years ago and ’ was stationed it Walkerton. • Constable , McClevis seems to have the .detectives’ instincts and has been very successful in bringing to ■justice those who have broken the laws of this.-land and are trying tp' -evade being brought before . magis-, tra.tes or judges who1' hand out - sen­ tences to wrong-doers. - Otto McClqvis is an old Sullivan boy, a stalwart son of Mr. and Mrs. John Marklevitz of Peabody and* brother of our Councillor, Charlie, the dreamery man. Constable Mc­ Clevis is tall, wiry and muscular and can handle those he claps the hand­ cuffs on without Jiaving to first give them a love tap on the cocoanut with his baton. , ■ - , ' Constable McCleVis is married to a Tara girl, a Miss Bailey; and he and his wife and children are regu­ lar attendants at the services of the United Church in Walkerton, ..when the minion of the law is pot called away pn his iprptfessional duties. Otto McClevis is a splendid type of On^arioL_constable. who carries on in . the administration of law arid order for the protection of citizens’ pro­ perty and the security of tfieir lives.

A ftian may go out, get a jag on, and land in... front of the magistrate charged with a breach of the liquor laws. This is more a lapse of good sense than ’ anything else, and perhaps is not of general public. interest. But when that same man gets caught Tn petty pilfering or outright burglary it is a distinct breach of the law and th,e public should be told. In. fact, the news­ paper that doesn’t tell it is not play­ ing fair with its readers, who take the paper to learn of these and ,oth°- er news ’matters of ‘ public interest. The' best way to keep yotir name .out of the police court records’ is to keep out of police coujt. Don’t.blam<; the newspapers. Blame^ yourself.

The local press doesn’t tell every­ thing it knows. If your wife lams you* with the roast beef because you arrived home late for dinner and got saucy about it, the editor /says nothing about'it. He, never knows but his turn is coming next. If you are picked up ■ by the police because you were a bit woozy coming home from some early morning party, the local press -isn’t interested. It is when you get into something distinctly out or order and land before the cadi in a crowded courtroom that ; the uress gets busy. Then it softens the blow as much as it can. ‘ The IjXjcknow Sentinel Published every Thursday morning at Lucknow, Ontario. Mrs. A. D.

PNEUMONIA 1 ; As the recognized cause of much llness and many deaths, pneumonia ooSses^es aft unenviable reputation. Under the descriptive name of “in- lammation of the lungs”, pfteumon-’ a was just as well known to, and .Equally feared . by previous genera­ tions. The inflammation or pneumonia :s« due to one or more bacteria or Terms. The disease may be primar- :ly an inflammation of the lungs, or it mdy develop as a secondary con­ dition,....S0CO.ftdary^.j.j.pno-umonia.--Js.._ -quite -common -in the-early -years-of vhooping cough; it becomes a rarer complication w'ath advancing years excepting as a sequel of influenza. Pneumonia reaches its height dur- ;ng the colder seasons, not because of the lower temperature of the air, but because, qs the out of-door tem­ perature drops, windows and doors ire closed/ people , crowd together indoors creating those conditions 'vhich favour the spread of all dis­ eases of the i respiratory organs, *’rom the common cold to pneumonia. „ All ageS, both sexes and all social classes fall victim, but. pneumonia is more common and most severe imong those who, because of com­ parative poverty, live ip overcrowd­ ed homes, without ‘proper food, pos­ sibly deprived of sufficient warmth and sanitary facilities. Nevertheless, by' far the most ac­ tive predisposing factor in 'the de­ velopment' of pneumonia is an at­ tack of one of the communicable liseases and, particularly, whooping -cough, measles and influenza. It is because' of the pneumonia complica­ tion that. these diseases are always such a serious menace to' lifd. Those suffering from pneumonia hoiild be isolated and their sputum disinfected. The disease is not read-* ;ly spread. It is caused, by a living agent or germ' present in the spu­ tum, therefore, precaptions should be taken to prevent the transference if the grirm in the sputum or secre­ tions rif nose and throat; from, the sick to the- well. ” General preventive measures con-, sist of preventing the predisposing communicable diseases, and if these do occur to give adequate cate to tfiosp ' suffefing from whooping rtriugh, measles and influenza in order to lessen the lieklihood of pneumonia; Fresh air* no overcrowding, proper food, personal cleanliness, together With avoiding fatigue and, exposure . are essential ift the promotion of health and the preyention of p'neu- mohia. • * If. someone calls you a into silence and meditate, tie ffiigfit be right; 4 i fool, go because / ■a v Watch your exposure and you yvi-lf get pleasing pictures. The snapshot at ■ the left, taken with a folding camera at /.8 and 1 /25th of a second, Is properly exposed. The one on the right simulates the effect of under-ex­ posure from two smalla stop opening or too fast a shutter speed. A LETTER received the other da.y opened my eyes and made me realize that sometimes we take too ' much for granted A^reader of this ■ column wrote in saying she enjoyed . the Snapshot Guild immensely and would be so fiappy when winter was over and Spring arrived, go that she could take some gbod picture^ again. I Here I have been taking it for granted that everybody knew that with present day fine film it is pos­ sible to take good pictures the year ’round—winter included. Well, if Mrs. ---------4 thought she. .would .have to wait ’til spring to take pic­ tures doubtless there are hundreds more of the same’ belief. Believe it or not, picture taking in the winter is Just as easy as in summer,, opportunities as numerous and scenes just aS beautiful. There is one important thing, however, to keep in mind whgn tak­ ing pictures In the winter—WATCH YOUR EXPOSURE! Many'seem to. think that because snow is white, exposures should be much .shorter than in slimmer. This would be true 'if there were nothing but snow in the picture and if the light were as strong in the winter as in the sufn- , mer’. Neither condition exists; how- . ever. Trees, Houses, buildings, ani-. mala, etc;,, retain their usual color, so exposures must be timed accord- ’ fngly. - ... The old rule—expose for the , Shadows^nd let the-highlights take . care of themselves,—is still worth following. Although objects are brightened somewhat by greater" re­ flection from the snow, this is' fre- ■ quently fully, offset, by the lesser intensity of the sunlight In the' winter. Where snow Is not smudged by soot It temafns a glorious mantle of white, clothing familiar sebnes in . new guise's and lending a peculiar charm to trivial objects that fail to attract attention at other Reasons. With photography as the medium of expression, wifi ter scenes are ihore truthfully rendered in black . and whl(e than summer scenes. Color is absent for the most part in . the former and the monochrome print conforms very closely to the • " predominating whites, grays and blacks of MothOr Nature’s winter dress. . ’ Here is. a suggestion that ’will help you get betterresults, that is, If you follow it. When taking a picture make a note* of the "stop” you used, that is—th6 first* or sec­ ond, or third opening, if you have a box camefa, or; if you have a fold­ ing camera note f.8, f.lL f.l6, and so on, or just 4, 8, 16; and. with, folding camera, also make note of the ' Speed of the shutter, that is, l/25th of a second, 1/50th or whatever It may have been. When prints are re­ turned you can say to yourself—. “This one, is awfully light and does not show up as I expected. Let's see now—I took this picture, at noon at l/50th of a second and had the dia­ phragm set at f.ll. A little too fast - to get the.proper exposure under the hazy winter sky on that day. The next time urider the same condi* tlons, I’ll either set the "diaphragm pointer at f.8 to., let in more light . Or else leave the diaphragm opening at f.ll and set the shutter speed at l/25tti of a'second so as to give* the picture a longer exposure." I-t's' really valuable information to have and will fielp improve the quality * .of your .pictures. . . ... It might be a good /idea to out the pictures printed above anfi? keep them for future reference. TliOy will help yo.u in jtftlging your own pictures if you, are not quite stire just what- is wrong with yotir , prifits. ; . ' . " So—don't let winter, stop you. There are countless pictures to be taken and by giving a little thought to light Conditions plus a little ex-’ perlmontifig you’ll<get good pic­ tures. Go ahead and^shoot.
