P 'OTO FUN
Study pictures
at the shows
By GILBERT HILL
One of the best ways to
learn to make better photo-
graphs is to see good pictures
— lots of them.
It is fun, and can be ex-
tremely enlightening, to study
the work of others, whether
photographs, paintings, etch-
ings, or the dioramas and ex-
hibits of museums. The goal is
to figure out, if possible, why
they are effective.
Looking at pictures made
by others can't help but in-
fluence your own work. But
neither the photographer nor
anyone else gains when a
photographer sets out to
"duplicate" a picture he has
seen.
And while a few may get by
occasionally, competent
judges can recognize a
forgery, or a,picture made of
"someone else's art," and will
. throw it out of an exhibition.
This is not to mean that a
photographer should not take
pictures in museums and
other often restricted places
—if there is any way it can be
done legitimately.
Museum managements
which, set up restrictions, of-
ten obviously designed so that
someone with a "concession"
can sell low -quality pictures
and slides of the same scene,
are often short-sighted in not
encouraging visitors to take
pictures which they can. -show
"back home" and encourage
others to visit the museums. It
could be good prOmotipn.
The real forger, or
plagiarist, will not be dis-
couraged by such rules be-
cause he can always find a
• "reproduction" in some book
which will serve his purpose
well, or he can buy a "com-
mercially available" repro-
duction or slide. ut good
photographers have all they
need when they can learn a
new trick which they can ap-
ply to produce something dis-
tinctly different and personal.
Remember that the tougher
the competition, the better the
pictures must be, and the
more that can be gained by
studying them. The work of
almost any photographer,
even including some with con-
siderable experience, seems
to improve almost overnight
after joining a camera club,
particularly one which has
regular competitions, for
showing of prints and slides.
But once a certain level has
been reached in the club,
progress — and sometimes in-
terest in photography —
seems to level out. So go see
an international salon, or ex-
hibition, in your area. There is
one fairly close almost every
year in virtually all sections
of this country.
Even better is to take the
time to visit a "salon judg-
ing," which ordinarily is 'held
two to three weeks before the
selected pictures are put on
display for public viewing.
Audiences are always wel-
come, particularly at an ex-
hibition operating under the
rules of the Photographic So-
ciety of America.
Here can be seen hundreds
of pictures, from all over the
world, being sorted out by
skilled judges trying to select
a -"good show" of representa-
tive photographs, the best in
the world. -It doesn't take long
for a visitor to begin seeing
what the judges are seeing —
and understanding why one
great picture is "out" and the
other "in" a particular show.
So, have fun, study the work
of others, and apply what you
learn to your own work.

i
ments. He must study con-
tinuously.
When the dentist's receptionist
says, "The Doctor is out of town
for a week," he is often back in
university learning the latest
techniques and cramming them
into his already busy schedule.
Whole new concepts in dental
practice have developed as a
result of research.
Emphasis today has shifted to
preventive from the corrective or
restorative dentistry approach.
There is a great deal of concern
about "baby' teeth and the role
they have to play in the develop-
ment of the permanent teeth.
Teeth are meant tp last a life-
time. It's archaic to think that
most people are supposed to lose
their natural teeth by middle age
and then wear artificial dentures.
Adding to the life expectancy of
teeth and other oral structures
are new methods and materials
for filling teeth, treating gum dis-
eases, intelligent use of anti -
'biotics and a better under-
standing of the dental role of nu-
trition and vitamins.
Use of fluorides, directly ap-
plied, in dietary supplements or
in the community's drinking
water supply, is a good way of
fighting cavities.
Although new advances have
tielped the- dentist -to- help you-, a
large gap still exists in- bringing
you into the picture.
Increasing educational use of
television, radio and the press is
helping to solve some problems,
but much more has to be accomp-
lished in motivating you to help
yourself to better dental health.

Authentic souvenirs at next -to,
nothing prices — that's th€
dream of every traveler in a
strange land. ` Canada's four
Atlantic provinces, New Bruns-
wick, Nova Scotia, Prince Ed-
ward Island and Newfoundland.
boast a large number of
shops specializing in Canadian
handmade goods and, although
the prices may be slightly more
than next -to -nothing, they are
reasonable.
Shawls and sweaters, warm
and richly patterned, from
Newfoundland; apple dolls, with
the wizened dried -apple faces of
elderly men and women, from
Nova Scotia; shell figurines from
Prince Edward Island; and
handwoven woolens in soft pastel
colors from New Brunswick; are
among the items sold,
You can find them ,in shops
anywhere — in a major hotel in
one of the larger cities, in •a
cottage by the side of a country
road, inside one of the restored
buildings in an historic site
project, adjoining arestaurant or
antige shop or in - a row of
boutiques.
The Handcrafts Branch of the
Department of Tourism has a
marketing program. Outlets for
handcrafted goods are provided
by the government in the Ad-
miral Beatty Hotel in Saint John
and at the Beausejour Hotel in
Moncton. The wares of close to
200 craftsmen and wonien are
sold at each.
Among them are people like
Martin Demaine, glassblower
and proprietor of the Little
Bartibog Glass Works near
Chatham. In 1971, Martin and Sue
Demaine built a' 60 -foot -long log
cabin• on a 65 -acre tract of land
and established the first and, so
far, only commercial glass works
enterprise in New Brunswick.
Mr. Demaine specializes in color,
the most difficult process in the
field, and his work is fast gaining
world wide recognition. The
Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal
and the Museum of South Africa
have • purchased . Demaine
products. Visitors are welcome at
the Little Bartibog 'Glass Works.
-Craftsmen. flourish with the
kind of encouragement they
receive in .New Brunswick. And,
as the availability of quality
handcrafted goods grows, so does
•the demand for them. Un-
doubtedly, public awareness is
increasing in this province.
Nova Scotia, like New Bruns-
wick, has many , shops featuring
handcrafted items at reasonable
prices.. Here too, craftsmen are
encouraged by means of a
variety of programs.
Several of Nova Scotia's many
historic sites and museums have
gift shops featuring items hand-
crafted by the local residents.
For example, The Bull Wheel is
the name of the gift shop at the
Miners Museum at Glace Bay on
Cape Breton Island. Most of the
items sold are made by miners
and their families living in the
area. Similarly, at the Sher-
brooke Village Project, an
historic village now being
restored, the post office house a
handcraft shop, which serves as
an outlet for artisans in the
district.
Craft displays of such skills as
rughooking and braiding,
quilting, Indian basketry,
macrame, lapidary and
snowshoe making are held at
various times throughout the
province.
A directory of shops carrying a
stock of Nova Scotia handcrafts
is available at provincial tourist
information centers. It includes
places like the Elf Studio at
Bedford, not far from Halifax,
where Edgar and Olga Fox make
and sell pottery, paintings,
copper enamelling and sandcast
candles.
The Apple Barrel at Grand Pre
features hooked wall hangings,
apple dolls, sheepskin rugs,
stuffed animals and other toys,
quilts, macrame, local polished
stones, jewelry, woodcarvings,
pottery and needlework.
In Nova Scotia, field teachers
from the . Department_ of
Education travel to communities
throughout the province giving
concentrated course in weaving,
silver jewelry, textile decoration,
rug hooking and pottery to groups
of six to eight adults.
Shops in the province of Prince
Edward Island feature such
items as serving dishes formed
from, the maple trees of Prince
County and clever ornaments
made from discarded lobster
shells. As elsewhere, the best
place to admire the work of the
craftsmen is at the workshop:
Whether it's in a man's back yard
or in one of the co-operatives that
groups of artisans have
organized, let your nearest
tourist information center be
your guide.
Away of life.
for skiers
As any •skier will tell you, and
as the Austrians have known for
decades, skiing is a lot more than
pointing the boards in a generally
downhill position.
Mountains and snow are of
course the prime prerequisites,
and Austria's brilliant sunshine
and excellent ski school aug-
ments, its abundance of both.
Variety is important and there
are few countries that offer the
choices in degrees of difficulty
(or ease) , length and types of
snow conditions as Austria does.
There is literally a custom made
slope for every skier.
Hut there is one• more prere-
quisite to the "total ski package"
that Austria manages better than
any other nation. They call it
"Gemuetlichkeit"—we call it,
letting your hair down. The stiff-
ish formality found elsewhere is
non-existent in Austria, and it is
so foreign to the essence of the
nature that. the traditionalists
had better stay at home.
"Skiing Is a Way of Life",
offered by the Austrian National
Tourist Office free of charge,
spells out the special character-
istics of a number of well known
ski areas such as the Montafon
Valley, the Arlberg Area, the
spectacular Oetz Valley, Inns-
bruck, with the Olympic runs
already in use, Kitzbuehel, Mayr-
hofen, Kaprun, Zell am See, Bad-
gastein and many more.
- Cross country skiers will find a
paradise of well marked trails
and a fresh new vista of Alpine
scenery at every turn. Seefeld,
together with Innesbruck, site of
the Olympic Games in 1976 is just
one of the many beautiful ex-
amples. Canada's newest sport
has yet to discover the absolute in'
cross country enjoyment that
Europeans have known for years.
A sleek systems of roads and
trains, with airline connections,
make it possible to take an a la..
carte sampling of these, at prices
that make sense to today's
pocketbook.
One shop that rates a visit is
Cook's Cove in Charlottetown,
capital of Prince Edward Island.
It's located in the historic and
restored Owen Connolly building
built in 1864 and includes a craft
. workshop, gift and hobby shop
and a museum. The Seven
Brothers- Museum is not a
collection of artifacts, but a
series of displays in miniature,
featuring ship models and hand -
carved dioramas depicting
scenes from Island history.
In Newfoundland, much of the
credit for the handcrafted goods
available must be given to the
Newfoundland Outport Nursing
and Industrial Association, more
commonly known as NONIA.
The Association was founded in
1920 to provide nursing and
medical care for the people of the
isolated fishing villages of
Newfoundland, from the sale of
"woven and pitted goods made by
. women in their homes. Work is
Sent to about 400 people in 60
-settlements and NONIA operates
a shop on Water Street in St.
John's where the goods are sold.
In addition to the traditional
knitted and woven goods, the
shop now sells hooked wall
plaques, Labradorite jewelry,
pottery, sealskin souvenirs and
other items.
FOOD FACTS
Q. Is it true that certain food
combinations are dangerous and
can cause digestive upsets and
serious illnesses, e.g. milk with
fish, buttermilk with cabbage, ice
cream with shellfish?
A. The above is an old wives'
tale which probably originated
before the days of adequate home
refrigeration and proper - food
handling techniques. Any
combination of food if taken in••a
moderate amount, and if it is
taken uncontaminated or un-
spoiled should not harm the
normal, healthy individual.
Q. Is yogurt a low -calorie food?
A. Plain yogurt - the un -
flavoured, unsweetened type - is
similar in calorie value to the
equivalent amount of milk. In
Ontario most plain yogurt is
made from 2 per cent milk.
Commercially prepared
flavoured yogurt is lower in
calories than pie or iced cake, but
it is quite high in calories com-
pared to plain 2 per cent milk or a
serving of fresh fruit. In Ontario 4
ounces of commercial flavoured
yogurt ranges from 150 to over
200 calories. One orange provides
40 calories and 4 ounces of 2 per
cent milk gives 50 calories. •
