Clinton News-Record, 1970-05-14, Page 13Amateur ,photographers in Canada WY' a lot of cameras and equipment, They also use a lot of film. "Some of the time they pay reasonable prices for the qpipment and services they buy but very often, they don't," says free-lance photographer Freeman Patterson writing anadian Consumer magazige, ublished by Consumers' ssociation of Canada. Mr.. Patterson is well-qualified o offer advice to the areera-consumer and here are ome tips and suggestions from a rofessional to assist the mateur in getting what he ants without ruining his mancial standing. Most camera lines on' the arket are of excellent quality ut the prices can vary. The 5mm siggle-lens reflex camera, . example, is about the most opular on the Canadian market nd the prices fluctuate from ess that $200 to alniost $600 d this is without the lens. The uestion the camera-consumer hould ask is: "For my use, is his huge price differential exited?" For the "snapshooter" there e much less expensive cameras hat are extremely popular and re the essence of operating ease. owever, such cameras are built ith limited uses in mind. The mateur who is interested in hotography as a hobby would well advised to go directly to model in the lower price. range f. the better cameras. The cheaper, less versatile canteras are net intended as training Or teaching instruments for the more versatile models, And remember if you want versatility in a camera and lots of fun, buy a camera which permits you to change lenses. There is no reason to buy the lens that is on the camera body, ifyou don't want it. For example, most cameras come equipped with very fast standard lenses and you will pay more for these than a f &5 lens. "As a working professional," says Mr. Patterson, "I find the slower lens covers nearly all the situations I am oiled upon, to photograph." If you have one camera and want as few extra lenses as possible, you should consider settling on just two: a standard focal' length' macro lens (which takes overall scenes, yet permits you to do closeup shots of flowers and the like) and a zoom lens which covers from 85mm to 210mm, The zoom lens allows you to move closer to, or farther away from, the objects you are photographing without moving your body. Wide-angle lenses are limited in use, and an amateur should not be in a big hurray to get one. Cameras with built-in light meters are a mixed blessing. Buyers should remember that if the meter breaks down, the whole camera must go back for repairs. A built-in meter is no more an infallible guide to exposure than a separate one -- the only advantage of the MA suggest trend may be health hazard Raising animals and plants in he classroom can be interesting d educational.

The Ontario Medical Association annual meeting in Ottawa May 4 approved a series of recommendations of a special comm it tee on paramedical personnel. The basic recommendation was that the O.M.A. "support enthusiastically the development of appropriate paramedical personnel to assist physicians increasingly in the provision of health care". The committee went on to delineate some of the medical assistants, including nurses with special training in intensive care units, psychiatry, paediatrics, obstetrics and home care supervision; technicians with special training in plaster room work, operating room service and electronics. The O.M.A. promised co-operation with the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology which offer training programs for paramedical personnel. The doctors will encourage the government hospital services commission to provide funds for in-service training, and to recognize specially trained paramedical people through appropriate salary incentives. annual meeting in Ottawa May 4, that it has advised the Ontario government of its concern over the trend in elementary schools to have biologic and scientific exhibits in the classroom.. The recommendation arose out 91 representations by the O.M.A. Section on Allergy. The allergists claimed that the raising of animals, plants, fungi, flowers, and even naturally growing ragweed, in the classroom can jeopardize the health of hypersensitive ,childperioe i Also3.,,,constant exposures to_. vp•Aba t atie— gen s may w velop sensitivities in the allergic child. The O.M.A. also pointed out that chemical sensitivity is another major threat to the health of the allergic school child. Offending chemical agents found in the school enviroment include waxes and wax removers, lacquers, paints, solvents, glues and "magic markers", Allergists maintain there are alternative methods of providing biologic and scientific exhibits, and alternative products which do not contain offending chemicals. • GUARANTEED TRUST CERTIFICATES You can cope with inflation more easily when you keep your savings in our Guaran- teed Trust Certificates.
