RENEWAL
A country housed has doors
But you don't find keys in the locks!
And the country gets along
Without the aidof clocks.
The sky is too wide for bickering,
And it's easy to renew
A heart and soul in the healing,
thought
Of a chance to start anew.
You can laud the love of City
With the glowing nightly sights,
But you can't touch stars! And who
Wants to grasp
A handful of Neon lights''

EXPLAINED
When the crowded bus stopped,
a stout, middle-aged man descended'
thel stairs, carrying a small girl.
Placing her carefully on the kerb,
he climed up and brought down a
smaller boy.
Again he made the journey, and
this . time carried down an even
younger child.

ing in the impatient queue. "'E

A Bold Fellow
After writing a prescription the
physician told him that the druggist
would probably charge him 60 cents
for filling it. Then. the patient asked
the physician to lend him the money.
The physician carefully scratched
out a part of the prescription and
handed it back with 10 cents, re-
marking: "You can have that filled
for a dime. What I scratched out was.
for your nerves:"

PROVERBS ABOUT BEAUTY
Beauty is but skin deep.
The handsomest flower is not
the sweetest.
Beauty may have fair leave but
bitter fruit, •
Beautiful flowers aro soon picked.
Beauty and folly are often com-
panions.
The fairest rose is soonest wither-
ed.

Ridicule is more deadly than all
the arguments in the world. Few
men can reason, but all fear 'ridi
cute.—Fretderick the Great.
The art of pleasing is a very
necessary one to acquire. It can
hardly be reduced to rules; and your
owngood sense . and observation will
teach you mord of it than I can. Do
as you would be done by, is the
surest method that I know of pleas-
ing. Observe carefully what pleases
you in others,' and probably the
same things in you will please
others.—Lord Chesterfield: Letter to
His Son.
Since the "massesof the people
are inconstant, .,full of unruly de-
sires, passionate, and reckless of
consequence,theymust be filled
with fears to keep them in order.
The ancients did well, therefore, to
invent gods, and the belief in pun-
ishment after • death. It is rather
the moderns, whoseek to extirpate
such beliefs, who, are to be accused
of folly—Polybius: 125 B.C.
I 'believe Shakespeare was not a
whit more intelligible( in his own
day than he is now to an educated
man, except for a few local allusions
of no consequence. He is of no age—
ing. of any religion, or party, or pro-
fession. The body and substance of
his works came out of the unfathom-
able depths of his own oceanic mind;
his observation and reading,' which
was considerable, supplied him with
the drapery of his fingers,—S. T.

THIS is an appeal to. THE FARMERS OF ONTARIO. The Packing
Plants of Ontario, which process and ship your livestock for
export, ARE SERIOUSLY SHORT OF MEN. Every. available Farmer
of Ontario is urged to offer his services for enlployhent in one of
the Packing Plants in this province as soon as the essential work
of the farm is completed. OVER 1;0.00 men are required to start in
the month of September alone. rood hourly wages will be paid.
Transportation to the plant will be provided. Assistance will 1 be
given in arranging board and room.
With full staffs, the Packing Plants of Canada. have ample capacity
to handle even the tremendously increased numbers of cattle, sheep
and swine, which Canadian farmers have ready for market, this year.,
When operating to capacity the Packing Plants can keep the market
cleared and livestock can be slaughtered, processed and shipped, at
its most profitable time, when it is at its market peak, Thus, losses
which occur when animals are held beyond the peak T through
.additional feeding costs, through falling away from peals condition
and through the danger to price structures when supply threatens
to exceed demand — are avoided.
Last year several hundred Ontario farmers volunteered for work in
the plants in processing their own products and protecting their own
interests. Production for export this year has increased by 40%.
Available man -power has shrunk by 28%.
The Ontario Farm Service Force, in conjunction with Empldymeut and; Selective
Service has undertaken the task of raising sufficient help from Ontario. Farmers_
, to keep Packing Plants operating to capacity this year. This department of
the Ontario government's Department of Agriculture feels that this extension,
of its service is as vitally important to the interests of the farmers of this proves
ince as anything it has yet undertaken. The need of meat as a primary essential
food to our Allied Armies, to the people of Great Britain and to the starving
millionsin countries being liberated by our victorious armies, . is the basic
consideration. In addition, efficient operation in the processing and marketing
of livestock is necessary in protecting the greatest export market ever opened
to Canadian farmers.
Your services are needed from now until spring. If you cannot devote that
full period of time, a month or more will be of great assistance.
OFFER YOUR SERVICES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Ii you cannot go to. work at once, can or write,
stating that you will come, and at what date you will be available. Remember you will be serving
your own best interests as well as playing a vital patriotic partdn serving your country.

CAMERA ANGLES 70
Don't let the rule of "hold the camera level" prevent you from getting
Interesting, effective snapshots. Pointing the camera skyward caught
this happy group enjoying their ride.
IN almost every book on amateur
1 photography - you will find the
warning—"hold the 'camera level."
This is a sound' bit of advice for
the beginner, at least as far as
mostpictures are concerned, How-
ever,like many camera rules, it le
often violated to obtain some un-
usual or special effect.
For subjects that have prominent
vertical lines such as buildings,
monuments, or simila} structures,.
• you should generally adhere to the
rule. Suppose, however, you want
a striking or dramatic effect. You
can then tilt the camera as much
as, you like. Some excellent pictures
have been taken With the camera
pointed almost s t r a i ght up or
straight down.
The angle or viewpoint yon
choose, depends, of *use, on the
effect you want. A high angle is
often helpful in showing details of
subjects•when the component parts
need to be clearly separated. For
example, 3f you can .shoot from au
elevated position overlooking a golf
green, you will be able to show' the
individual players more effectively.
In this case the grass will provide:
a nice plain background, and the.
action can be seen much better.
A: low angle, with the camera
nearly at ground level, and tilted
upwards is often used for shots of '
baseball and,football players. This
position yields a decidedly more
effective picture, and the, plain sky
accentuates'the figures.
You will probably find many,
other eases In which camera angles
may be used. Let the nature of the.
subject determine the best angle.
