Hello Homemakers! Four Weeks
before Christmas high time to
start your festive baking. iia sure
to plate for this important occasion
and have your wartime recipes on
hand. While pre-war frills are out
we still have an. abundance of good
things for our baking — and don't
forget that Christmas goodies make
such acceptable gift;, when gaily
wrapped, and cost so little.
Acording to market forecasts,
turkey and other fowl will he
plentiful. Our own Cenediau vege-
tables are abundant and we have
plenty of flour — vitatuin-rteb flour.
However, need for rat eo eerv.9'ten
is our signal to substitute quirk
breads made with the new shorten-
img or lard for the ricber cookies.
We suggest that you try to save a
little sugar every week for ylur
Christmas baking. 'Raisins and cur-
rants are expected to be available,
Here's a tip — steep them lm a
little sugar every week for your

in spite of tremendous shipments to
Great 'Britain — and crackers, too,
since many of trhent do not require
sugar.
And so there will be Christmas
fare for Christmas doings—enough
holiday good things to please both
young and old.

MAKING BETTER USE OF LIGHT
A combination of back and top lighting is principally responsible for
the fine pictorial effect of this snapshot. Keep an eye on the direction of
the light, and you'll be able to produce equally effective results.
AMONG the fundamental tools of
all photographers, light holds an
unequaled position. But most o1 us
take the sun, and flash or flood
lamps, almost for granted. We do
not stop to realize how much the
direction of light means to a pic-
ture:
Id' you watch carefully you'll see
that In most instances, light strikes
your subjects from one of three
major , direotions—front, side, or
back. Outdoors those forms of U
lumination are normally tempered
by a touch of top lighting, but each
of those' types produces a definite
effect, Remember that, and you'll
End thai you can use light to con-
trol the quality and mood of your
snapshots.
Front, or flat lighting, which is
the kind you get when the nun is
behind the camera, is, for instance,
rather routine and ordinary in ef-
Icet. It does not result in too attrac-
tive black -and -white prints, bit it
will give you perfectly acceptable
accord pictures. Pietorlally ',the
light,le tbo low 111, contrast to give
the most pleasing effect.
Side lighting is probably much.
better suited to general purpose
photography. It almost invariably
provides a pleasant balance of
highlights and shadows; it helps to
achieve a third dimensional effect
in your pictures; it emphasises tex-
tures; and it provides the basis
contrast necessary to brilliant .pic-
tures. Use it often.
•The third division is back light-
ing -the kind that exists when the
sun is shining directly at the cam-
era. With back lighting you'll eget
the type of effect found in our illus-
tration, but in this case a reflector
was also ,used to brighten the side
of the subjectk, nearest the camera.
It's Juat the thing too for making
outdoor silhouette, or semi -ail-
houette, pictures. It's good for land
-
stave studies. And, if you use a re-
flector to brighten the shadow side
of your ,eubjeets, it's is highly ef-
fective lighting for portraiture.
There's Just one thing to :watch oat
for: don't let the sun shine direct-
ly into thecamera lens„ Use{ a lens
hoed or shade your Cambrtt with
your hand.
Watch the light, and y:en'11 be
