Every year the losses of property and life testify to the gross carelessness of individuals around this most dangerous of fuels. The Ontario Fire Marshall has stated that anyone tak- ing an open flame lamp pr lantern near gasoline id trying to commit suicide! Dont drive a car, truck or tractor on the barn floor— it is folly. Never use gasoline or kerosene to revive a fire. Don't use gasoline, benzene or other inflammable liquids for cleaning in the home. Never fill lamps, lanterns, stoves or heaters while they are burning. Gasoline kept in a building should be in an approved safety container, painted red and plainly marked GASO. LINE. Don't keep more than a gallon—larger amounts should be stored in heavy drums at least 75 feet from the nearest building. Be your own fire warden. Treat gasoline with all the respect with which you treat dynamite. les dangerous stuff! .THIS ADVERTISEMEINT IS SPONSORED BY THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES: Farmers' Central Mutual Fire Insurance Co, Walkerton, Ont.

You'll find it's easy to make pictures as fine as this. rUMMDR is always an exciting •J period. People are out playing golf, •tennis, and badminton. They ride horseback, swim, go fishing and do many other things which make good picture subjects. So if you want good snapshot material, don't fail to consider summer sports. For instance,. just think of the possibilities around the beach or the old .swimming hole. They range from pletilree of people sunbathing ,or having a water fight, to first rate snaps of young folks diving or Poised for a plunge -as in our il- lustration. Stopping the action of. summer sports is relatively simple. First Make It a habit to stand back a little way --say ten or twelve feet —00 yodel be able to keep fast Moving subjects hi Moans and in the Viewfinder. Second, use a fairly high shutter speed—at least 1/100th to 1/200th second—•depending Upon the "rapidity of the action. Thirds try to batch your ettbject at the, peak of action. and ,moat of rilir photographic problems will disala pear. Catching the subject at the peak of action means snapping your shutter at the moment when the action is literally at its best. Tech)* cally, you might say that action reaches a peak whenever it has progressed as far as it le going in one direction,• and then pauses for a bare instant before the return begins. In diving, that moment would come just as the diver reaches the top of his leap, and before he 'be- gins be -gins to descend toward the water. In tennis, there is an action peak at the instant the racquet reaches the top of the serve, and another at the said of the follow through.' Snap your Pictures at moments such as those and You'll be able to record what appears to be very fast action with moderate shutter apeede, Try summer sport photography this week. It's an exciting paetiee. ss5 John an Guilder CNE $RUSSETS POST National Salvage committee within the next few weeks," The Controller added that a recent order makes it illegal to retain, ex- cept by permit, any obsolete machine which is not new serving a useful purpose, Such nraohiuiea, and semen iron and steel in all other forms weighing a total a1500 pounds or more, must be disposed of before Setemher la, or otherwise must he reported to Ui•e Used Goods Ad:Dia:1s. traitor of the Wartime "Prices and TToronadne ,to. 13oard, 'Lumaklert, 13ui1t14ng, "The order does not nonan that seasonal machinery w'lrich will be used again next year should he scrapped," said NPr, Kilbourn.

But whatever the eauee of the -decline, the need es great end any sacrifices this country has made thus far are insignificant when compared with what our men and women at the front are enduring. The deductions from tarsale chequ- es Iiave not reached the proportions they doubtless will. In the mean time, It should be understood thele is no. compulsion about the deductions. Fawners are at liberty to refuse to accept War Savings stamps as part payment, but if they can arrange to accept only one or two a week the total across Canada would' be tremendous. +Shopperst are asked to take War Stamps from their merchants when- ever possible.
