,Dave you ever been out snowshoeing or cross
country skiing and suddenly realized that you
were looking at one of the most beautiful sunsets
you've ever seen? Ever gone for a casual stroll in
the woods and have them strike a great pose in a
really natural setting? ..
I know more than one person who has downed
a big bull moose way back in the bush where the
only way to get it out was quarter it and back-
pack it to a road or stream. Nine times out of ten,
when something like this.happens, your faithful
old camera is tucked away back home, in the car
o,r just about anywhere but with you where it
should be.
•
This situation is completely understandable.
Cameras are heavy and bulky and it can become
very tiresome carting one around with you all
the time. The Olympus people however have
come up with an ideal solution to this problem
with their all new Olympus XA mini camera.
The Olympus "XA" is a full frame 35 mm
automatic exposure camera that weighs a touch
under eight ounces and is only slightly larger
than a flip top pack of king size cigarettes. There
is also an electronic automatic flash available
that will give approximately 120 flashes from a
single AA penlight battery, weighs under three
ounces, and is about the same size as an ordinary
flash cube. With an outfit like this available,
there is absolutely no reason for the active
outdoor person to be without a camera while in
the bush or anywhere else for that matter.
Since this amazing little wonder is a full frame
35 mm camera, the owner can take advantage of
the wide range of films available. The camera
will take colour prints, black and white photos or
slides and with the wide range of film speeds on
the market today you'll be ready for any
situation that might arise. It is also a generally
accepted fact that, in the long run, 35 mm
photography is the least expensive . way to get
good quality photos.
One of the best features of this little camera is
that it has adouble-image coupled rangefinder to
ensure proper focusing. This aspect is very
important to me since out -of -focus pictures are
totally useless. Most other small cameras use a
system called "scale focusing" which means you
have.to guess at the distance, set the scale arid
hope for the best. With the Olympus, you just
point the camera, move the little lever under the
lens until .the two images come together and then
take a` perfectly focused picture .every, time. The
semi wide angle lens gives you as „good
"depth of field" for clear sharp pictures, and a
wide field of view. The wide field of view is ideal
for taking pictures in a.boat or canoe (it's hard to
back up 20 ft. to take a picutre on the middle of a
lake) and is great for scenic panoramas.
The automatic exrtosure makes it a cinch for
even a beginner to use. A scale in the left side of
'the viewfinder quickly tells you what shutter

Figure skaters
need more support
The annual meeting of
the Clinton Figure
Skating Club was held on
Thursday, September 12,
at the Clinton Community
Centre., Those who
arranged the meeting
were very disappointed in
the turnout of new
members. Almost of
those present were past
presidents of the club. If
the club is to continue,
they must have more new
people (men and women)
take, part and volunteer
their services.
The 'results of the
election are as follows:
past president, Ann
Gibson; co -presidents,
Joyce and Murray Cook;
first vice-president,
Jackie Barnes; second
vice-president, Carol
Lavis; secretary, Carol
Fox; treasurer, Norma
Preszcator; directors,
Mary Jean Beattie, Barb
Consitt, Betty Lockhart,
Barb Norman and Sharon
White.
Mrs. Beattie will chair
the National Skating test
program and she will be
assisted by Mrs. Martie
Lobb who will be in
charge of the beginner
session. Mrs. Fox will
chair the C.F.S.A. testing
program but as yet we
have not elected a
publicity chairman.
The first
