AS IT WAS
ON THE TENTH
The annual eniceen sapper at
the church on the corner an the
Tenth Concession and the Broken
Front Road always took place on a
Monday evening and supper was'
• served in the Sunday School part
from 6 o'clock until 8 or there-
abouts. It was generally a good
half hour over the officially an-
nounced closing time. The ladies
knownas the Willing Workers
Society used to object at times be-
cause Monday was wash day, and
getting that attended to and being
at the church for most all after-
noon, and then staying after it was
over to wash and stack the dishes
made a pretty long day. But Mon-
day it remtained.
Grandfather always went down to
the church a little early on that
day. He held some sort of an of
ft. position and figured, he stymie,
be on hand. Some one always haps
to help him tie his white dickey on
fer he never wren, near rhe church
o:le-s he was dressed fitting the
occ•a.eion- He'I land in there about
5.30 or a few minutes after and
first of all offer a few words of
encouragement to the ladies and
would enquire not too urgently it
there was anything he could do.
As a rule grandfather considered
it well about 5 minutes' to six to go
into .the school aria take a last
look to see if the seating was just
as It should be, He used to remark
that a little final inspection might
save a deal of confusion later on,
and of course no person welcomed
confusion and gnanafather's mo-
tive seemed of the best,
1t alwa'vs did seem uncommon
strange though that just at the
time for the people to come in from
the diuurch where they bad gathered
to wait grandfather would he shift-
ing a few chairs at the table which
was nearest the Kitchen door, and
of course when tlhe crowd started
coming tit seemed the .most natural
thing that grandfather should just
be seated along with the rest and
nearly always at the corner seat
where he contended one always had,
a little more, elbow room and free-
dom of action; although he was
heard on several occas,lone, to re-
mark the sat there so it would be
easy to move In case any of the
Willing Workers wanted him to do
anything, 'Grandfather disliked

AUTUMN DAYS
ARE HERE
Driving through the country
these lovely autumn days one is
thoroughly convinced that he does
not have to go far to enjoy the
beauties of nature. This supreme
beauty of the countryside is beyond
description, and one may feast on
its fleeting magnificence poured
forth as Nature chants the eou1-
sthrdng strain of her departing
botanical year. More than all
others, the beloved autumn -tinted
leaves play their ,Tart in this transi-
tory Inve'.iness. The scientist tells
ns that these gotez.e.ous color's are
net rine to frost, as commonly sup-
peeed, but to the presence of waste
products. They tell us that with
the first retreat of vitally and the
withdrawal of the sap to the roots
tl:e red and gold, the orange and
purple, are but the mingling of
many chemicals in the deaf, held
apart wb:en the foliage is in full
vigor. When the ]eaves have per-
torined their 'functions, when the
Butte have appeared, matured inn
1 -fl eneo vegetation bas entered into
a new phase; the leaves lose their
brilliant green. But whatever may
be the variety of shades which
leaves take in their decay, a certain
air of seiness pervades these orna-
ments of our fields, which iiaroclaums
the imminence of the cold season.
Cold soon arrests the sap to dis-
organize the leaf stems and the
leaves withered and deformed
cumber .to the ground. It is the
season of the fall of Ire leaf with its
melancholy associations. But every-
tlttng in Nature having its uses, the
leaves disseminated by the autumn
winds over the naked country, disin-
tegrate slowly upon tlhe soil to be
transformed into vegetable mottle
indespensable to the lite of plants.
Thus death prepares for naw life as
the old must always give way to
the new,

"raw edges of civilization"—to mining towns and
construction camps where life was rough and
comforts few. Now he telephones her and the
children from each new location, cheering them,
and himself, in the process. ''After all",
he muses, "you're never out of civiliza-
tion as long as you have the telephone."
Reductions in telephone rates—local and long
distance — in 1935, '36 and 137 have a//ected
savings to telephone users in Ontario and
Quebec of nearly one million dollars yearly.
oti=SNAPSHOT CLJIL
PICTURES EVERYBODY LIKES Id')
The amateur who took this picture gave thought to It. Ths boys are his,
sone, but the appeal of the picture Is universal.
THE 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,
such 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. 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 bo
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
'hat are commonplace in their appeal
to others. Usually such pictures are
personal to the picture taker, such
as a eio8ONp of a beloved infant
with to qualities to distinguish it
from snapshots of a thousand other
babies,
To win snapshot prizes, camera
users need to take pains to plan
their pleturoa 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 colt
starltly 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 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 snap-
shots around with them in wallets
and handbags and exhibiting them to
those in the circle of their acquaint-
ance. They think their pictures are
pretty good, and, as Below pic-
tures, they certainly are.
Whether or not a camera user is
interested in snapshot contests, be
turn get all the pleasure the painter
gets lo his work to create pictures
that will be admired by everybody if
he 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 pioturo entitled, "My wife
and Junior, aged four," with the sub-
jects standing stiffly side by side
and one of the same subjects en-
titled, "A boy's best friend is his
mother," showing her, with the boy
over her knee, giving him a Spank-
ing. That's the kind of picture every-
body likeH.
