'Emotion caused by 'impending evil, alarm, dread." It may be there is no one living who :has not at some time or other been •ahnost paralyzed with fear. Fear is :inherited. The science of medicine tells us that a new born babe comes 'into the world with a fear of two :things, the fear of falling . and the -fear of noise. That same fear to a 'more or Iess degree follows us all through our lives and what a trouble- some thing it can be if it is not con- quered. Our mental institutions to- day are largely filled with people who •have allowed themselves to be over - ,come with this dread disease, if such 'We may call it At the present time the world is practically overcome with fear.' There -are so many happenings, In our fair -Dominion we know Iittle of it in ;•comparison withconquered countries.

People at times, young folks es- pecially, have such a curiosity about what the future holds for them that they spend God's good. time in having their horoscope preparedor they pay a visit to the fortune teller or some other of the many impostors of the day, They are fearful lest' some- thing will or will not happen to them.

Some times little things cause us a great deal of fear, but God is with us in the small trials as well as those which are larger. Not only is our work hampered by fear, but that demon, we might say will undermine our health. At times we expect things to happen much sooner than they should and .then we begin to fear that they are never going to come to pass. The pleasure and joy of months is often spoiled just in this way and while we are fearing the foundation of our health is gradually giving way.

We could go on and on thinking about and conversing on these things, but it brings us back to the same fundamental truth fear. Fear of the future has a great deal to do with the lowering of our vitality. We have been so fearful at times that we have not been able to use our minds to think out things as we would wish. If we can train our- selves to look into the future believ- ing that God will guide us and will care for us we will have accomplished one of the most important things in our lives.

After May 1 coupons will again be required for the purchase of canned rhubarb, and canned crabapples will return to the ration list on July 1st. SNAPSHOT GUILD GUILD REFLECTION PICTURES s4 Pictures like this one are easy to take if you obey focusing rules. MOVDLT'I' pictures, if they are not LV overdone, are usually interest- ing not only to the one who takes them, but to others as well. Reflection or mirror pictures, for example, are quite novel and, if caretully.thought out, result in the kind of prints we like to preserve in our albums or send to friends and relatives in the Service. With a mirror, you can combine the back anti front views of a per- son in one picture, and with several mirrors, arranged at the proper angles, a subject's likeness can be multiplied many times. There is, of course, a technique to reflection pictures --simple, but it. must be followed. To get the mirror. image sharp. it is necessary' to esti- mate the distance this way: add dis- tance rfroin the lens to mirror to distance from•the mirror to the sub% ject and focus accordingly. For ex- ample, if it is six feet from lens to the mirror and the subject Is two feet from the mirror, simply add six and two and set your focus for eight feet. And if you wish to get both subject and reflection reason- ably sharp. as in today's''illustra- tion, you must .focus on .an • inter. mediate point, then use a small lens opening to insure proper depth of field. You will find that a good "in• termediate" point is the frame of the mirror. For example, again observe the child picture above. Assume that the camera was six feet from the mirror, and the child two feet' from the mirror. Following our method of estimating the distance, the re- 'fleeted linage would be eight feet from the camera. Therefore, in or- der to get a satisfactory picture of both subject and refleetiou, you would need to have everything sharp from six to eight feet—meas- uring from your camera. With the average camera, to achieve this wouldcoet the fiord depth of , you focusing scale just a trifle nearer than she feet and set the lens aper- ture at f/8: With one 150 -watt and one 200 -watt home light bulb in in- expensive reflectors—ono on each side and 31/2 feet from the subject —you will have sufficient light to shoot at 1/25 of a second. Besureg the lights do shine on the camera lens, and are not re - fleeted in the mirror. In, the illns, tration the rest of the, room was dark, which aoeounts for the dark background in the mirror, Try some reflection pictures. You'll like them: John van Guilder
