Family Photo Popular
Take the time to photograph
your family now and you'llhave
fun, over the years, tracing
their growth and changes through
pictures.
With photos, you can keep a
record of your family and sur-
roundings as time goes by. Just
as a photo from 1920 might
provoke a nostalgic smile from
Grandmother, so the details of
1962 will give you many happy
moments in the future.
Pictures of family events are
probably the most rewarding
photos anyone ever takes. Chil-

dren grow up quickly, but
photos keep them young for-
ever, Families separate, as
children mature and move away
from home, but they're always
together in your snapshot album
That's why, on Sunday after-
noon outings, your camera
should be as much a part of
your equipment as a road map.
And it's easy to picture family
history indoors as well as out.
Add a flashbulb to your cam-
era and, in effect, you bring
the sun indoors to light your
picture -taking.
Just remember that natural
expressions are all important.
When bleary-eyed Junior feeds
the baby, when Mary dresses in
mother's clothes for a "pretend"
tea party, in fact, whenever
your children do something
cute, that's the time to take a
picture. These are the snaps
that will be viewed time and
again in the years to come, ra-
ther than formal shots of the
youngsters staring blankly at
the camera.
Then, too, the best family
shots are generally close-ups;
they bring you right up to the
subject and let you see the de-
tails. And they are simple;
they concentrate only on the
persons you want photographed,
and tell only one story, but tell
it well.
Be sure to shoot more than
one picture. Take several, and
select the best for your family
records.
Catching revealing shots of
your family is a matter of ob-
servation and quick action. Be
ready to snap the shutter and
preserve the laughs and fleet-
ing expressions that are charac-
teristic of your family.
Legion Plans
4 Pilgrimages
OTTAWA—The Royal Can-
adian Legion has announced
that some 320 Canadian par-
ents will have a chance to visit
graves of next of kin killed in
World War II and buried in
Holland. Four pilgrimages are
being organized this year to
war cemeteries in The Nether-
lands.
The pilgrimages are organiz-
ed
rganized by the Netherlands War
Graves Committee, a volun-
tary organization. The Legion
acts as an agent for the Dutch
group, which has been provid-
ing extra care for Canadian
graves since the war.
Chairman of the Committee
Save Your Sight and Share It,
Promotion of Wise Owl Club
With White Cane Week dedi-
cated to prevention of blind-
ness, E. F. Wheeler, district
field secretary of the Canadian
National Institute for the Blind,
saluted the Wise Owl Club of
Canada.
"Since CNIB took over the
Club 18 months ago, 450 in-
dustrial workers have received
awards for saving their eyes
from injury or blindness by
wearing safety glasses when on-
the-job accidents occurred".
The Club was begun in a
United States City in 1947,
when an industrial worker drop-
ped the idea into his company's
suggestion box. His suggestion
went into effect at once and
met with over -night success.
Other plants in the same city
took up the program and soon
the Wise Owl movement began
to spread across America.
When it took on national
proportions, industry invited
the National Society for Preven-
tion of Blindness, New York, to
take over administration of the
awards. By the mid 1950s the
movement had entered Canada
through United States firms
with Canadian branches. In
1961 CNIB became responsible
for the Canadian Club which
became known as the Wise Owl
Club of Canada.
"Safety glasses really per-
form miracles," the CNIB rep-
resentative said. "Accidents
happen in a split second. One
minute everything is undercon-
trol and the next, an accident
is taking place." He spoke of
one man who was digging a
manhole on a city street with
his head and shoulders above
the ground. A stone from a
passing car shattered the right
lens of his safety glasses. This

age will be announced shortly,

Cost to the pilgrims is $205.
This includes return air fare

accident was unexpected and
one of those which most people
would say "It can't happen to ° *VILA
me." Another man, a label
machine operator, had a direct
hit on the right lens of his
safety glasses when a jammed
bottle broke. His glasses pre-
vented what would undoubtedly
have been a lost eye.
White Cane Week is under
way. Do your part to prevent
accidents. Save your sight and
share it with those who cannot
see.
