THE 'POST' PRINT Telephone 31 Brussels, Ont. BRUSSELS CANADA A GOOD CROP LEFT We begin to lose faith in spo;t:a writers and their ways and their prophetic sayings. Before James Braddock entered the ring et Chicago •rite other night we saw a good deal printed iii many paper telling how good ho was at the age of 31; how strong he was and how fast be was. Since then we have read a good deal which tells u, Braddock was never admitted to have hada fairly good chance 01 defeating Louis. We learn he is too old, we find he had been awe; from the ring too long and haul grown somewhat soft. And we even read that at best he was never much of a fighter. Be that as it may, there were 41, 68 people wro paused through the gates, and of these 13,741 had paid paid $27.50 each for what they earl ringside seats. You can figure out for yourself how near many or those 13,741 favored ores mu. -t have been to the ring. In all, the gate receipts amounted to $713,42'L 34, and there was an added 171,se !I for ratite and film rinhte. Mr. Braddock the gentleman who formerly had the title of champi,nt was knocked out so hard he had t, be carried tenderly from the premfs es, Bat when he revived he found he was the possessor of $296, 690, about three times as much as the average hard working individti,t eved sees in a. life tiure, That Is he got that much for denrou:trattne RANN D- A- FURNITURE AND 1`1VNERAL SERVICE D.

Earl Rowe, leaded 01 the Conservative party le Qntario, was speaking tat Marmora, he said sente•thiugf about Premier Hepburn having placed mushroom hotels on every corner and in municipalities where they were trot wanted, Mr, Rowe preferred a system welch would allow the people to vote on whether beverage rooms were tie. sired, a system which Is quite wide- ly in effect now. It is not lout Lite since such a vote was taken in Peterborough. It Is a plain fact that local optio,t is not as effective as it was twenty or Chitty years ago. Then there was act so much movement of people; it was more difficult int them to get from one place to an- other. Today if a person living in dry territory desires to drink it Is not a serious matter getting to some place where the drink eau be secured. Then there Is the matter of getting home again, and tite cote stain danger that the person who has been doing the drinking is alio going to try and do the tlrivlu.g The coming of the motor car and the improvement in roads and high, ways has taken sortie of the advan- tage out of the local option system and has also added a degree of danger to It, Wrlch did not previous- ly exit. COMMERCIALIZING THE CHURCH From The Coilingwoorl Lntteprise-Bulls tin Is pulpit advertising a need of the t ltttrelt today In some quart- ers i*. is hold 111th there is too mae'1 c-inn1tariaiizaticn of the House of Gad. But on Sunday last a minis - tett of Owen Sound proclaimed against this very thing. Fie was strong 1n his denunciation of the modern trend, In part lie said: "We are so commercialized that every- Sunday the clergy have to carry a sheaf or announcements mostly about secular things and un- less much is .made of each one somebody 1s going to get into trouble." And that was not all. Ile con- tinued: "What would you think of the Adis of the Apostles if there could be found a few verses like this? - And it cane to pass that St. Peter before his wonderful sermon ori the day or Pentaoost announced:. There will be a rummage sale on the market square of Jerusalem on 11 e second day of the week. On tite third day of the week there will be a whist drive in the Hall of Moses, On the fourth day of the week , there will be a 'baking sale in Jen eph's departmental store, On the third day of the week there will be a garden party on the Mount of Olives, with all sorts of raffles to make money for the preaching of the gospel in foreign lands. I ven- ture to say if ttttything like t.ltat ape geared, we never would have heard of the Aots or the Apostles, Why then should our Worship to AI- , mighty God be so interrupted today?" The reverend gentleman is un- doubtedly right. To get away from the present procedure 110 would use the press or printed billetins, "11' ' the various organiations were pre- pared to give five or ten dollars a year for the purpose, Stich would eliminate distratclion from the ser- vice and leave the hour, it is feared oRert go begrudgingly given, free for worship," A HAPPY TIME -with- THE HAPPY COUSINS ---at-.

The boys are his sons, but the appeal of the picture is universal. THE statisticians tell us that there aro now millions and millions of camera owners -more than a mil- lion right here in Canada alone - but how many of them take pic- tures that really qualify as pictures, sue& as might be chosen to adorn the walls of a home other than their own, is a question. Some judges of amateur snapshot contests aver that scarcely one per- son in.a couple of thousand submits pictures of genuine pictorial quality or having the saving appeal of story- telling human interest. Other's say that often most of the pictures are so good in these respects that they have difficulty in making decisions. Perhaps the verdict depends its much upon who the judges are as upon what the pictures are. All of them concede that from the stand- point of photographic quality --cor- rect exposure and proper focus -the average of amateur photographs is high. In that sense there is no doubt that thousands of amateurs take good pictures but with respect to evoking general appeal, it must be admitted that not all give evidence of attention to artistic composition, thought in the choice of subject, or care for the right moment to snap the shutter. The result is pictures that are commonplace in their appeal to others. Daintily such pictures are personal to the picture taker, such as a close-up of a beloved infant with no qualities to distinguish it from snapshots at a_ thousand other babies. To win snapshot prizes, camera Users need to take pains to plan their pictures or at least exercise judgment in selecting a viewpoint that will give the best composition., Haphazard shooting rarely brings really good plotting. Unless expert ence has proved it, amateur picture, takers should not assume that thee possess a natural picture sense: They would do well to study exam- ples of artistic photographs con- stantly published in magazines, newspapers and books, go to photo- graphic exhibits, and learn what it takes to make a good picture. Can it be that the majority of amateur picture takers are quite con- tent with their pictures considerhig the fun they get in taking them and their value as records of good times, or likenesses of relatives ani: friends? Certainly many do get wash enjoyment in carrying their snap- shots around with them in wallets and handbags and exhibiting tient is those in the eircle of their acquaint- ance. They think their pictures are pretty good, and, as pergenal plc' tures, they certainly are, Whether or not a camera user is interested in snapshot contests, hee can get all the pleasure the painter gets in his work to create pictures that will be admired by everybody 12 110 will venture beyond the field of personal interest and try to make, pictures of general appeal. This means planning, care and thought- It's the difference, for example, be- tween a picture entitled, "My vane and Junior, aged four," with the sub- jeets standing stiffly side by sidle and one of the same subjects ma titled, "A boy's best friend Is iglu: mother," showing her, With' the itag over her knee, giving bim a spank ing. That's the kind of picture miner - body likes, 142 John van Gunder.
