Armand almost any home there are favorite garden spots: the tulip bed, a beautiful splrea bush, a rose trellis, bleak and bare in the late fall and winter, but aflame with -color in,the late spring and sufnmer. All of which lend them- selves to beautiful snapshots in either black -and -white or -in color. And there is the porch or terrace, void of all its attractiveness in fall and winter, but 'a picture of home life and comfort during spring and summer, It takes but little imaginative power to visualize the possibilities of picturing the changes made in the „appearance of our homes by the changing seasons. But choose, your viewpoint carefully because with the scarcfty..of,film every click of the'shutter should result in a good picture. , Remember, too, that pictures taken around the home' whatever the sea- son, are welcomed by those in the Service' so have extra prints grade for them. Sohn van Guilder, }1L7AVB you ever thought of pictur- . lag the four seasons around your •home—the changes made by Mother Nature in the appearance of the trees, shrubs, gardens, and so forth? re you haven't, you have passed ,up an opportunity for interesting, story- telling pictures for your snapshot collection. o It' seems that through force of habit—or maybe it's a ,tradition-- we think of spring and summer as the time to • take pictures and more er less forget about fall and winter unless some special' oceasiion , prompts us to bring out our cameras. If you want to make up a series of Thtenestlitg pictures for your album let nee suggest that you start today and matte comparison pictures around yolu• home. Take our illus- tration, for example. Here are two pictures of the same house, one snapped on a sunny day the fail and the other about ten weeks later : after a winter's snow storm. You will agree thsit there is quite a contrast In the 'scenes. That's one'example of comparisonpictures,With the 'arrival of ,spring new foliage, and flowers.

As a result the Bank will be called upon to pay additional taxes for the year 1943 of a like amount under the Income & Excess Profits Tax Acts. Provision has been made from Contingent Reserve Fund for this tax liability, of which' twenty per cent, or $440,000, will be refundable under the provisions of the Excess Profits Tax Ad. GEORGE W.
