PICTURING PICNICS
OMNI
An apple for the teacher? Perhaps -but in any event a grand shot of a
picnic. Concentrate on action studies if you want to make this type
of picture.
NO SUMMER is complete with-
out its share of picnics, and a
picnic isn't a real success without
some snapshots. So today let's see
how we can make better snapshots
to highlight. those • occasions.
Suppose we take "action," that.
10 -people doing things—as the
keynote of our project. Action pie-
tures pack three tinges the punch,
and are always far more interest•
ing than the old-fashioned type of
"still" picture in which everyone
brood smiling at the camera.
you concentrate on action, you
can, for instance, get a pietare of
dad giving an exhibition of the
"boarding houso reach" as he
eta'etuhes for another sandwich.
You might, in another cage, catch

I Household Storage Of
Fruit and Vegetables
The art of making the products of
the garden go further than every be-
fore is an important item, in Canada's
war effort, Although the farmer and
the professional market gardener are
experts in the storage of fruits and
vegetables, the urban and the sub-
urban householder with a 'garden or
other vegetable plot does not as a
rule possess the r.ealuiiste knowledge
or facilities for the proper storage of
the fruits, of his tabour. With com-
paratively little troulble, however,
and the application ,of a few simple
principles of storage, much can bo
'clone towards the successful holding
of fruits and vegetables produced in
the garden.

Machines such as these, powered by electricity,
produce .303 cartridges.
• We have the men, and they have the courage and the will to win.
What is needed now is a steady increase in production of the weapons
of war that will make our forces invincible.
Hydro powered machines in hundreds of Ontario's war plants
produce weapons to provide greater fighting power for our men at
sea, in the air, on the battle fields.
To train equip, transport and maintain our armed forces, each of us
must work harder, save a little more and lend all we can to Canada. The
more Bonds we buy, the greater is our investment in Victory.
To safeguard and conserve our vital supply of electricity—in our
homes, offices and shops—is a paramount duty. There are opportunities
every day, every night For each of us to save Hydro For our war industries.
These plants need all the power they can get. Every Victory Bond
you buy and every "bit" of electricity you save are contributions you
can make to Victory)

Check -Up Week
The third week of November ii0111
to 21st) has been selected as Farnt
Implennent Check-up Week. "Ontario
' formers face a grave situation re -
peeling implements to seed and
harvest another big crop in 1943."
stated the Hon., P, M, -Dewan, in
malting the announcement,
Implement, manufacturersa and
importers have .been advised by H.
H. Bloom, Administrator for Fal'um
Implements, that they may not ex-
pect to manufacture or import more
'than 25% of machines sold in 1940.
This is on; the average of all 'kinds
of implements and does not mean
that even this limber will be avail-
able of each kind. A relatively
larger number of labour-saving
'crevices, such as milking machines
and manure: spreaders, may be sold,
but on the other hand some kinds
will be available only 15% of 1940
sales and other leas needed impie-
ments, nice at ail.
The situation hes been: aggravated
by very heavy crops in 1942, many of
which went down so badly that they
had to be art one way, which caused
.additional -rear and tear of ma-
chines. Farm machinery is now

Farmers ]caving low wet land or
marsh would be well advised to keep
a close watch for Water Hemlock,
the eIilef poisonous plant of Ontario,
advises the Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Officials state that the
heavy rainfall this fall will likely
mean more Water .Hemlock than
usual and already several eases of
fatal (little poisoning have been
reported to the Department,
This weed is poisonous to all live
stook, particularly sheep, who pull up
the. ,roots when grazing and eat
them. Numerous eases of human
poisoning have 0ceurreal from eating
the roots in mistake of edible plants.
Water hemlock has lance -shaped
sinarp-toothed leaves. usually in two's
se three's, has small white flowers,
• arranged in fiat -topped clusters. The
root.consist of a number of spindle-
' shaped "tuber:?." These "tubers„
have 11 etl'OPS 31(0111 ti0 odor which
seems to attract live stock.
Within two hours after eating the
plant cattle may show nervousness,
twitching of the muscles of the
mouth and ears. salivation, bloating
ireazied movement, dilated pupils.
Spasms and convulsions, frothing at
the mouth and nose, twisthlg of the
head and 10110 backward and rolling
of the eyeballs. Violent smarts
usually terminate the victim's life.
