No matter howwell inspected or how good the stor- age, wastage invariably develops. Ifthis wasfage is Caused by fungal orbacterial rots the total damage canbe reduced by removing the affect- ed material, states W. R.

Mae oftensound apples are noticed to be mustyin flavour when stored in proximityto rotted apples.As well 'as rot -wastage applesshould be examined Thr quality andsuch disorders as scald and internelbreakdown, If the latter are presenteven to a slight degree it is an indi- cation that the apples should be dis- posed of as quickly as possible.When examining for quality itshould be 'remembered that possiblyat least a week will elapse,after re- moval from storage before appleswill be eaten.

Ware, secretary of Queen Alexandra Sanatorium's Christmas, Seal Committee, reports that on the half way mark, Dee. 31st, 80% of the objective desired to tarry on the Sanatorium's researeh and pre- ventive programme, which includes the Travelling Clinic which monthly visits the hospitals of Goderich and the six other cities of the district, has already been raised. This pro- portion being slightly better than the average of other ,years, gives great promise of a .successful conclusion to the Campaign. Colonel Ware said that Clinton has done exceptionally well, having alrea- dy raised 90% of its objective, not- withstanding the fact that only 48% of those receiving appeal letters have answered the same. It was explained that the appeal is made entirely by mail and that for this reason the Campaigns in the United States and Canada, are carried on for a full three months' period and that consequently an average of 20% of our supporters annually send in their contributions in January and February. Contributions are never late. The Christmas Seal ivorks throughout the entire year, This Campaign has been of special interest because of the many business concerns and individuals who have increased their givings, the number of Services and Community Clubs, Sun- day and day' schools, and other organizations, which have contributed and the many former Londoners in Washington D. C., 'Kansas City, Talahasse Florida, Detroit and other United States and Canadian cities, whose thoughts at this season of the year have turned back to London, re- membering with gratitude the great work which Queen Alexandra Sana- - torium is doing to prevent and elimin- ate man's most devastating disease— Tuberculosis. Colonel Ware expressed his Com- mittee's hope that many who have not yet supported this great effort, will do so before the close of the Cam- paign on the 15th February, 1944."

A T THIS time of year the days F1 are growing shorter, and sun- light seems less strong than In the summertime. No doubt many ama- teur photographers are wondering how this will affect the exposure required for outdoor pictures. That question is very pertinent now fol• two reasons. First, because of the scarcity of flint, you should strive to make every picture a good one.. Second, this is one of the best sea- sons of the year for outdoor pictures. What controls exposure in outdoor Matures? Primarily, it is the posi- tion of the sun, both in relation to the subject, and in relation to the lto,ison. If you read an exposure table for a particular filth, you will see that the exposures are always stated for so many hours. "after sun- - rise" ,and so many hours "before sunset," 'Usually the time given is MO hour alter sunrise, and one hour before sunset, for the modern types oil chrome or panchromatic elms. ucl there is your cue to oorrect ex- posure toward the end of the day. You will, no doubt, ask how much increase in exposure is necessary, 'Pito best answer td that is, "More him y u think." Your eyes adjust naturally to .Compensate for weaker light. In late afioriloon the light may look quite strong to you, but ,,h ttoa 1 ipbicsily it is ,weaker than '1.05013.The beaut1Cul golden otter - noon sunlight is deficient in the strong,hlue rays to which all fills is most sensitive. Therefore, when you are iii doubt, err on the side of over- exposure. IC you think the proper exposure would be 1/25 second at f/3, open up your lens to 1/6.3 or 0/5.6, That is always the sater prac- tice, and you're more sure at getting a properly exposed picture. And here's another suggestion. If you know in advance that you will be taking pictures in Iate afternoon, keep a roll of -highspeed elm handy for use at that hour. Such filar is too fast for normal daylight shots, un- less you can adjust your camera for a small, lens opening or a high shut-, ,ter speed. But in the weak light of late afternoon, this film is extremely useful. 'It is of particular value if yott have a.'slow lens, because In effect it multiplies the speed of your lens.. considerably. Now, let me summarize these ex- posure suggestions. First, use the hour of sunset as your guide in mak- ing late afternoon exposures, As sunset comes, closer, increase the exposure. And keep a roll: of fast film hand for use when the light grows quite weak. Then shorter days will become magically 'longer, for this fast film will lengthen your outdoor picture -taking day.
