harvest season. Not only is there

very 'Meavy. If all this essential
food fe to be harvested, we must
have thousands of additional volun-
teer farm workers, The grate, crops
have 4:o be taken in and the picking
-of 'Gmnatoes and Other canning cr-ops,
including Pettit, will be in full swing
by the middle of August. The only
way these 'crops can be saved is by

This community is faced with the immediate task of
organizing to SAVE FOOD materials urgently
12eded by our invading Armed Forces.
There is not available at this moment one hall the
farm help required to save the abundant food
crops ready for harvest on farms in this community.
Yet these crops must .be saved to feed our invading
armed forces—to whom food is as vitally important
as ammunition. They can't win if they don't eat.
The'man power needed to save this food can be provided ONLY
in one ways and that way is by the citizens of this community
organizing to provide help for its farmers; organizing the "spare
hours" of its men in the; cause of Saving Food for Victory.
The organization has two parts:
1. Organizing a Farm Commando Brigade, with office and tele-
phone, where information can be given and the enlistments
of loyal citizens received and through which men may be
placed on farms requiring help most urgently.
2. Enlisting every available man in the community' who will
pledge his evenings, week -ends, holidays, half -days,— every.
spare hour --during this critical harvesting period.
The Department of Agriculture of the Ontario Government will
provide organizers and will co-operate and assist at every point.
in the formation and operation of the Farm' Commandos.
The need is Urgent! It Requires Immediate Action!
Unless such help is provided thousands of bushels
of vitally -needed grain, will go to waste in the fields
in this district.

HOW BULLET RESISTANT
GLASS FOR MILITARY AIR-

Those Who fly bombers and com-

vital interest in any manila' which
can permit unobstructed vision and
at the ssme tdme afford a reasonable
bee to the passage of enemy Mitch-

For certain r'prelfia uses ;here has
been developed What is termed "bul-

quently Its use in; airplane, is re-
stricted to ;such amine as seen; to be
the 'ones where it will do the most

Its construction is shnilurr to that
of the "safety glass' used in auto-
mobiles, It 'consists, of several sheets
of polished plate glass with layers
of transparent plastic . sandwiched
in between them and bonded to the
glass by the application of heat aced
pressure.
A very important factor in the
oosstuucti'on of 'bullet reelstaut glace

TI -IE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER FOCUS 18
Of course you want•prints to send to those in the Service, so in order
to.get clear, sharp pictures, focus carefully, measuring your distance for'
close-ups; then your reedits will be much more pleasing.
PROPPIR and careful focusing can
do a lot to improve the quality
of your pictures. Once you under-
stand a few simple tricks of focus
control, you can take pictures with
a great deal more confidence, and
be sure of getting sharpness Where
you want it.
When there is just one subject in
yourpicture, focusing is of course
extremely simple. You merely de-
termine the distance from subject
to camera, set the focus scale at
that distance mark, and shoot.
Suppose, however, there are two
or mors subjects, at different dis-
tances, as in the picture which ac-
companies this article. Then you
compromise, by setting the fools
somewhat beyond the nearest sub-
ject,
ubject, In the picture shown here, the
photographer focused on the grand.
mother's left shoulder. Then by re-
ferring 'to the depth-offleld table
in his camera instruction book, he
selected the lens opening that would
just Bovet the subject at the chosen
fetus setting.
Of course, a Similar result could
have been obtained by focusing on
some other point --say the arta of
the chair—thea using a somewhat
smaller lens opening. Bat for prat-
tical purposes and to get proper
distribution of sharpness, focusing
on a midway point for a subieet of
this kind is the thing to do. .
The picture Is a, close-up, and
since depth of field 11 always lim-
ited in close-up shots, such "com-
promise" focusing is most helpful.
But it is also useful in sleets where
you want everything sharp from "in-
finity" to fairly near the camera,.
If you will examine the depth -.qt
field table in your cautery manual,
you will see that for many subjects
there ie little point in setting the
lens at "infinity." By setting it for
some nearer point, as indicated in
the table, you can get near objects
sharper -and stili retain sufficient
sharpness in distant objects.
In' cases Where you need con-
siderable depth of field, yet want to
keep the exposure time short, high
speed film is a great advantage, It
allows you t0 use a much 'smaller
lens opening than if you were using
a slow'fllm—thereby giving a much.
deeper zone of sharpness.
Often, however, you don't want
everything sharp. In. a close-up of
a, person, for example, it may be
best to show the background at
least slightly out of focus. Then
you should have the subject fairly
well separated from the background,
focus on the nearest part of the
subject's face or head, and use the
largest possible lens opening. The
closer you are to the subject, and
the greater the distance between
background and subject, the more
you can diffuse background detail.
Careful measuring of distances is
essential tor accurate focusing, es-
pecially in close-ups... photographic
range 1111(103 101110 most oonvonlent
measuring device.
Practice focusing—and focus cars
fully before shooting. It's an imner-
tent aspect of good pietnte.tatking.
