Let's teach Temperance!"
— Overheard in a barber shop
1st Customer: , , . well, what do you mean
by temperance education?
2nd Customer: I'll tell you what I don't
mean! I don't mean telling children
a lot of exaggerated stories so that
they're scared out of their wits
when they see their eiders drink a
glass of beer!
1st Customer: 011, admitted that old-fash-
ioned sort of propaganda is all
wrong! But I still think something
should be done , . . what is your
idea of temperance education?
2nd Customer: It should teach people that
there are a great many things in
this world that are good servants,
but bad masters. It should teach
them to be able to use any of
nature's gifts temperately. It should
show them that not to use some-
thing, because they are afraid of
using it to excess, is a confession
of weakness .. .
1st Customer: That's all very well in
theory. But let's get down to brass
tacks. What would you teach them
about drinking?
2nd Customer: Well, the first job is to get
e ation aeople to ndtrast abstinence, betweenish between
necessary control and prohibition.
1st Customer: At least, I'll agree you can't
make people sober by law ... we
tried that one!
2nd Customer: Yes, and our second jot is
to destroy one of the very wrong
ideas left over as the handiwork of
the prohibitionists .. , to get out
of the people's heals the idea that
the purpose of drinking, or even
necessary result of drinking, is to
get DRUNK.
1st Customer: Right! Most of all the abuses
come from misguided efforts to sub-
stitute law -control for self-control.
2nd Customer: And finally, we'd advance
temperance 11 spec education
we'd further -
m
make everyone see that drink-
ing, like eating and smoking, is
really a social custom ... a thing
least likely to be abused if people
drink wholesome, mildly -stimulat-
ing cont olledgpriemises. ile That�isent-

15,000,CC0 Small Investors — It Ap-

"There are 15,000,000 small he

"Hare than 2.500,000 house have

And probably Canada's 4,000.0 00

PICTURES EVERYBODY LIKES • , i
,
The amateur who took this picture gave thought to It. The boys are his:
sons, but the appeal of the picture Is universal.
'T"HE statisticians tell us that there
are 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,
anah 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 0310 per-
son in a couple of thousand submits
pictures of genuine pictorial quality
or having the saving appeal of story-
telling human interest. Others say
that often most of the pictures are
so good in these respects that they
have difficulty in making decisions.
Perhaps the verdict depends as
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
tare for the right moment to snap
the shutter. The result is pictures
`Hat are commonplace In their appeal
to others, Usually such pictures are
personal to the picture taker, such
as a clown) of a beloved infant
with no qualities to distinguish it
from snapshots of 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 pictures. Unless experi-
ence has proved it, amateur picture
takers should not assume that they
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 bo that the majority of
amateur picture takers are quite con-
tent with their pictures considering
the fun they get in taking them and
their value as records of good times
or likenesses of relatives and
friends? Certainly many do get vast
enjoyment in carrying their anap-
shots around with them in wallets
and handbags and exhibiting them to
those 111 the circle of their acquaint-
ance. They think their pictures are
pretty good, and, as perMenal pic-
tures, they aortal/fly are,
Whether or not a camera user is
interested in snapshot contests, he
can get all the pleasure the painter
gets in his work to create pictures
that will bo admired by everybody if
he will venture beyond the field of
personal interest and try to make
pictures ofgeneral appeal. This
means planning, care and thought,
It's the difference, for example, be-
tween a picture entitled, "My wife
and Junior, aged four," with the sub-
jects standing stiffly side by lido
and one of the same subjects en-
titled, "A boy's best friend to his
mother,' showing her, with the boy
over her knee, ,giving him a spank-
ing. That's the kind of picture every-
body
verybody likes.
