Picture story opportunities surround you — The fastening of clamps, the start of a run, the snow-covered downfall of a fellow skier. Shooting movies or stills, color or black -and - white, you're bound to come up with pictures that will mean more and more in the years to come. Anything that's worth tell- ing about when you return home, is worth photographing for easy remembering. Then, when you tell your friends about your trip, you won't have to keep saying, "I wish you could have seen it." In- stead, you'll have pictures so that they can see. To help make your skipic- tures more fun to show .to others and to focus their atten- tion, provide a natural frame within a photograph. - Ski poles and the skis themselves are a good frame. Try shooting action pictures from a point lower than the skier. A slight upward cam- era angle will increase the ap- pearance of movement and generally free the background of distractions. Test your hand at symbolic shots, Skis and poles standing upright in the snow cast long shadows, and tell a story all their own. For best effect, it's a good idea to snap a snow scene when it's lighted from the side. This brings out the contours of the snow drifts, produces more pleasing patterns of light and shade, and highlights the tex- ture of the snow. There's a lot of fun in a ski outing, and only your cam- era can record and save it for you. Be sure your camera goes with you on your next outing. The pictures you miss today can't be taken or replaced to- morrow. Curling Travellers Spread Goodwill International travel is a familiar story to Canadian and Scottish curlers. As early as 1903, the Royal Caledonian Curling Club of Scotland sent a team of curlers to Canada to visit and compete with their Canadian counterparts. The first visit of a Canadian curling team to Scotland took place in 1909, after an inter- val of six years. It was on this occasion that Lord Strathcona, then president of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club, pre- sented his handsome trophy to the winners of three test mat- ches, involving several rinks of Scottish and Canadian curl- ers. Competition for the Strath- cona Cup has been held on nine additional occasions since that time, five times in Can- ada and four times in Scotland. A fine balance has been achiev- ed in the matches held to date with five wins each for both Scottish and Canadian teams. The most recent play in Can- ada took place in 1957 when a Scottish team of 26 curlers visited here and curled against Canadian teams in Montreal, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Victoria, Penticton, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Regina, Winnipeg, Fort William, Sudbury, Haileybury, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Moncton, Dartmouth and Hali- fax. On each occasion, five rinks were on the ice for each side. Two sets of games were played in both Regina and Winnipeg, with the final result for all play: Scots -31 games, 944 points; Canadian -63 games, 1140 points, with 6 tied. At the end of their travels, each of the Scottish curlers had journeyed more than 10,000 miles by road, rail and air. And to resolve the competition some 1700 tons of Scottish gran- ite were thrown. 'The most recent play for the Strathcona Cup took place in Scotland in 1960. A team of 29 Canadians, captained by Brigadier "Collie" Campbell, flew to Scotland and met Scot- tish teams in Ayr, Glasgow, Falkirk, Perth, Dundee, Kir- caldy and Edinburgh. The Scots won the overall play with an aggregate of 757 points against the Canadians' 590 points, bringing the record to five wins apiece in Strathcona Cup play. An interesting sidelight on the 1960 trip, was a visit by the Canadian rinks to Manches- ter to curl against a group of English rinks from the "First English Province". This in- cludes clubs from Manchester, Harrogate, Liverpool, Preston, Breeding Flan To Be Started At the annual meeting of Waterloo Cattle Breeding As- sociation, January 9th, Dr. J, C. Rennie, Animal Husbandry Department, 0. A.G. announc- ed a new experiment in dairy cattle research to be begun in the near future in Waterloo County. Plans call for a num., ber of dairy farmers to bring the type information of their cows to a meeting to be held at the breeding unit. At this meeting they will summarize their herds in order to learn where common weaknesses occur, then choose from the bulls in service at the unit, the ones which will mate best with Blackburn, Huddersfield, Wi- gan, Haigh, Wrexham, Brad- ford, Leeds and Newcastle. The next Strathcona Cup play is scheduled for 1965 when Scottish representatives will again visit Canada. their herds. This will be a long-term experiment and re- sults will he tabulated from the performance of future gen- erations of these cattle famil- ies. Dr. Rennie included this announcement in his address as guest speaker for this meeting which was held at Seagram Stadium gymnasium, Water- loo, About 150 members of the breeding association were present, and reports of the 1962 year's business were pre- sented by unit personnel. Aaron Wideman, R. R. 1, Waterloo will be the 1963 president of W. C. B. A. with a 22 member board of directors representing the counties of Waterloo, Wellington, Huron, Bruce, North Perth and West Grey. There were 102 males to every 100 females in Canada at the time of the 1961 census; to every 100 females there were 112 males in rural areas and 98 males in urban areas. i1 d ine eque er by o. e o ehurchpeop Id otherwise never gel."
