There is a shortage of material from which these jute bags are spade The products which normally go into bags of the kind mentioned are used for feeding live stock ---and are being used to a greater extent these days due to the heavier lenge-id •tor meat and dairy products.

Try It, If you MOREI people have probably been "framed photographically and lived to tell the tale than you could count in a Sorry -hour week. Further - score, they've probably looked all the better, for It. Photography IS like that. For instance, just take a look at our illustration. Isn't it a simple, charming shot? You bet it is. Lots of the oharm, of course, is due to the pleasant expression of the little girl, But, I think you can charge a lot more off to the setting --to the fact that the subject in this case is ",framed" by the open window. If you keep your eyes open, you'll and that there are lots of potential "!frames" like that through which you can picture your subjects.

Look for places through which you Can view your subject, and 'you'll have tate idea down pat. However, here's a tip. In making such pletures, because of the wide discrepancy in distance which fre- quently exists between the frame and your subject, you'll need all the photographic depth et field that you can possibly secure. Therefore, use a small lens aperture. Shall lens apertures give greater depth of field, and in cases like this will help keep all objects in the picture sharp and clear. Try "training" your subjects the next time yon make pictures—and see 14 it doesn't give you more at- tractive and interesting remits, 401 John van Guilder Gifts Made To 'Warden Warden •George Armstrong en- tertained at a highly successful and largely attended banquet at the Brlttsh Exchange Hotel en Thurs- day night, His guesto were the snemfbers and officials, past and present of Huron County Council, and many .other frienclte, the guests numbering 90 in, all.

Mr, Arthus- R. Ford, chairman of the Christmas seal committee, in an interview has said that tuberculosis has increased in Ontario aid all but two provinces of the Dominion, and that the president of, the Canadian Tuberculosis Association in drawing attention to the rising death rain from this devastating, disease, ha•d urged that greater effort be exalted by every sanatorium in the Domlrton in. order that gains already made. niig'lft not, because of the war, be lost. The president also. called upon Canadians for additional funds with which to expand the activities. !Hon. Mr. Kirby, Ontario Minister of Health also sounded a recent warning when he stated that every diagnostic and deatlneat facility for tuberculosis must be used to the limit of 'their capabilities and in- creased if Possible." To meet Meese preasiag war needs Mr. Ford hoped that many who have not yet contrbuted to this great cause will, this•year, do so, and that all former contributors will continue their support in order that the Sana- torisnn may look forw'ord with cc.nfi- deuce to a year of greater acclvity, made poseihle through the increased revenue now so laugh needed. TWO YOUNG MEN cum �e i8e& ed BEFORE the war, two young graduates in chemistry faced the future with no assets but technical train- ing and unbounded faith in themselves. They planned to capitalize on their years in college by manufacturing a certain chemical product. "But we'll need some money to get started," they said, "Let's put it up to the bank," Their banker decided that their faith was well founded in character, ability, energy. "We'll finance you to start in a small way," he said. "Make a test on the local market first." Presently the product was being sold all over Canada and exported to the United States and. overseas. Now it fills a wartime demand. The enterprise employs a large number of people. This actual example illustrates how this country's Chartered Banks help credit -worthy people to benefit themselves, their fellows and their country under the democratic system of free enterprise. 'O. Banks, like any other business, exist because they provide ser- vice which a community needs and is willing to pay for ata rate which will yield a reasonable profit. Chartered Bank profits average Tess than one-half of one per cent a year on total assets. Few, if any, other businesses operate on as small a margin. •r rt' ..eee T M.>E..-CHARTERED B A- NK S OF, C A N A D A: Bank of Montreal ... The Bank of Nova Scotia ...
