Whitmore of Tuokersmdth, to ap- propriate $2,000 In the estimates for the purpose of reforestation to be used at the discretion of the Agriculltumal iComatiibtee was lest on a recorded vote of 10 to 5. Warden Ireagan, an advocate of redorestationat all recent sessions, expreaae'd his keen disappointment in the shelving of the problem, Reeve MoNall was in +flavor of ;leaving it in abeyance because of the wear. He said' there was no bet- ter system than that the farmers do, it themselves. I Reeve Brown •stated the shortage of water this year had been great and 'the condition ;s getting worse. He would be some to see it tabled. "HaspiValization of indigents is ceetainilry a headache for erten municipalities," dseclared( Reeve J. H.

Blyth cik<SNAPSNOT GUILD PICTURE. YOUR PETS A flash bulb, fired just as the photographer aroused the dog from sleep, captured' this picture. The camera was first set for "time" and the shutter opened. FEW albums contain enough plc - tures of the family pet—the dog, kitten, parrot, or whatever .animal companion you have. How- ever, with a little patience and strategy, such shots are not dif- ficult to get—and they certainly :add interest and variety to your picture collection. For a good picture of the pet, you need a large Image—and here 3e where the portrait attachment ;comes in. Slip one of these on the ,camera lens, and you oan take pic- tures with a box camera as near as '3 feet to the subject, Even nearer, •if yours is a focusing model and you use the attachment. Naturally, you'll pick a moment when the pet is quint. Bait is, help- ful, For example; a. saucer of milk to tempt the cat, Put the milk in . the chosen spot, tinder your photo lights—place the camera exactly the right distance away Froin the saucer -and as soon as they pet. takes the bait, you're ready to shoot. For shots with photobullet of the "flood" type, toad the cam- era with high speed film,. Flashbulbs are often a help in .shooting pet' pictures, The :picture above is a "Rash shot." First, the camera was placed just the right distance from the dog, while he slept under the kitchen stove. The shutter'was set for a "time" ex. posure: Then the photographer turned off the kitchen lights — opened the camera shutter—made a loud noise to" awaken the dog— and flashed the flash bulb. Then it was necessary merely to closethe shutter and wind the film for the next shot; Thus, you see, you don't have to have a synelu'onizer tor flash shots, although it's a convenient device. Indoors, you can use the flashbulb in any electric socitet Mako sure, :of course, that the light switch is itt the "off' position before you in- sert the bulb, For flash pictures, oithet chrome filth or high speed film can . be used, but you; must have the light at the right die tanto from:. the subject. Pets are excellent subjects for indoor shots—and it would be fun, this winter, to make a collection of pictures showing your pct's antics and activities. No two pictures will be alike --and their interest Boyer wanes, Try. 1t and see. 268 John van Guilder $33,25; Hensall, 4218,75; Exeter, $276,utit Seatfonth, 41224,20; Coder sail, $4;3413,75, Motion; prlwanan-Scott—Teat the Prop- erty Committee look after the he slide caretaking ee ;the r'egleltry office' and repert in.

My little feet were being straightened so that I'd be able to romp and play when I'm older. "I'm all better now—going home to -morrow. I feel just fine, too, except when 1 think of the debts I'll be leaving behind. You see, Daddy isn't able to pay for the wonderful care and treatment I received. "The Government and the city I live in, together, paid $2.35 each day I was here. Unfortunately, that isn't enough because it costs the Hospital an average of $3.45 every day to treat me and each other little patient. "More than eight thousand little children were cared for here last year, just like me. We're the ones who cause the large deficit of The Hospital for Sick Children every year— but everyone admits that we're worth it. "It isn't our fault that we get sick or become crippled, but the least we can do is appeal to you for help -particularly when we know that this Hospital does not share in the Toronto.Federation for Community Service funds because Public Ward patients are admitted from any part of the Province. "Won't you send a donation to the Hospital to help meet this deficit? Even a small gift would be greatly appreciated: "PLEASE .. send it TODAY!"
