VACATION PHOTOGRAPHY
It pays to make vacation snapshot close-ups, like this appealing picture
of one happy
SUMMER vacation time is no
0 longer Just around the corner.
It has begun already. But the big
Question still is, "How can I make
good pictures of my vacation?"
The answer to that can be found
in two words: preparation and
planning. What they stand for rep-
resents photographic insurance
against disappointments or failure.
Preparation for picturing your
vacation is just as important as
preparation for a canoe or pack trip
into the deep woods. Begin by giv-
ing your camera a thorough clean-
ing. Polish the lens with a soft
tintless eloth or (ons tissues. Dust
out the bellows and interior of the
camera. If there's anything wrong
With your eamera get it fixed so
that it won't spoil any o4 your va-
cation snapshots.
Finally Make sure you're well
stocked with film, Take at least
half dozen rolls with you. You may
also want to carry some accesso-
ries suoh as a filter and tripod, but
don't burden yourself with much
more equipment. Make it a habit
to travel light.
When your vacation begins and
the picture making starts, plan to
do three things. Firibt, count en
taking lots of pictures and then se-
lecting the best for your permanent
collection, Second, plan to make
your pictures tell a story. And third,
resolve that you will take more
01ese41pa of people.
When yeti approach picture male
lug that way, you'll find that it's e503,
to create a complete picture story
of your vacation. Just use common
sense photographic technique, record
step by step the things you see and
do, and you'll end up with a reveal-
ing, interesting, and detailed snap-
shot record of your vacation,

THE QUESTION BOX
National Parks As
Sanctuary For
Our Wildlife
All feawada's national parks, are
wildlife sanctuaries, They serve as
natural museums where visitors oan
enjoy the benefits df first -(nand ac-
quaintance with creatures of the
wild living uwafnai'd and unanolested.
In this way the peeks not only make
a noteworthy ,00ntnibutloln to wildlife
conservation, but also offer an uneq-
ualled opportunity to study eoology
under Dai orebie ,cond'ltionle.
Wildlife adds materially to the
ipleaslure of the park visitor. However
charming the scenery, its beauty and
interest ore increased a hundh•ed-fold
by the sight of wild creatures in the
forest, the ,song of ibirds In the trees;
the whirr of wings, skimming the
:surface of the waiter, or the leap of a
trout from, deep eddying pools. Thane
add life to the scene and are an ea-
esntial part of the national parks
idea.
This fact has long been, re'dagnized
by those changed with national parks
,development in Catnada. Wild ami-
mats living under natural dondttioas
present to the park Visitor a picture
of .animal life which never could be
obtained within :the coniines Of •a zoo
or even, at 'range, where no adequate
Protection is afforded, ,No doubt one
of the most fascinating features of
these national ,parlcs is the arppertuu-
ity they provide to study and photo-
graph wild animals ill their native
habitat,
A wilder -versa invaded by throngs
of human beinb^tsa may seem a para
dox, but there is really nothing eon-
flictirtg between, the idea of a wildlife
,sanctuary and a ,specious .arc's of
natural beauty where hundreds, and thousands of people may go each
Year in: .search of healthful recre-
ation. Actually Ithere is very little
disturbance of wildlife, in these
parks, and it is remarkable how
quickly the animals and birds' have
discovered. that they have nothing to
tear from man. 'Some of mem ,have
become tame to a point bordering on
ienptnd'enice. This es particularly trete
of the ;black hear -,blit Here a word
of caution,. Visitors to the parks will
be well 'advised not to teed o1• at-

cause of the advamice of 's'ettlememt
in this country the babfttation, par-
ticularly of big gamue, were 'gradoa.11y
taken over and the animal life was
,being inexorably wiped out. The
story of the plains buffalo is a case
in point. A few years' ago nue bust

parks may come across many of
these •derntzems, including sheep.

Con,ada's n'ationa1 parks are truly

Portant mins which was, in the minds
of those Who first ,conceived the ides
of great natural musemnns of wile
