By is there anyone who at sometime in Idsor her life has it felt a deep sense .'of .lenliness? Little children when they say, • "Mother, .miay. I .go out to play with Mary or George, are lonely. They " want' to coins in contact with some • one 'Who can give them eornethhig new to think about or to whom they can impart some .information which will put in time for them. • What is more pitiful than an aged man or woman who has lost his or her' life- partner? It may be they are living at the hoarse of 'a soli or —daughter where everything is done to make things happy for them, but in spite of it all they have a lonely feeling. Their friends of past .years have one by one passed to the 'Great Beyond and they, are here ..awaiting that same call. All at once they realize that there are very few to come to see them. We see them sitting with a far away look in their eyes and in re - itemise to our question "What is the natter Mother or Dad (as the case may be) are tyou not feeling very "well?" the answer is "Oki, yes, I feel well enough. I am just lonely." One can perhaps realize to a •cer- tain extent just how lonely the dear ones are in spite of all we have done ' to make their life more happy. The future holds very little for • them. In former times Mss. --used to, drop in during the afternoon, the tea kettle was put on and a light lunch was iiitidd and while the twci. ladies sipped their tea they discuss- ed • its •a kindly manner the doings of the neighborhood. Maybe Mr,J . who had retired from a business life would step over and he and Dad would retreat to the back verandah where on a special bench they would stroke their pipes and discuss- the topics of the day. It •" inight be a question of polities, municipal elections, church board "PEG" not the saute. There was a loneliness in Jim's heart that only Bob could fill and Bob would not 'conte back here. We feel that it is not eight to har- bor such lonliness'but there was times in the life of our Saviour when He wanted to get away from every one and be alone with His Heavenly Father so there are times when we feel that nothing on Earth can fill the place that is •lift vacant when. someone we have dearly loved passes on to .thenext world. There are times when we want to recall the many happy times we have had with our friends. What a joy there is in simply going away by ourselves and thinking of the days which are now past and gone when we were so happy, with someone of whom we thought a great deal. We may look sad but in reality our sad- ness is mixed with a pleasure which we receive from viewing the di% ferent pietures on the wall of mem- ory. Are we lonely because we are handicapped? As we read our daily papers we learn of where our young men and even our young women have been terribly injured .and for the rest of their lives they will labor under conditions which will not be the easiest for them. One. young man who had lost an arm and two legs in this terrible way was called on by two friends. One said after- wards that there was a most beauti- ful” e�piession on VS" face. t The outlook on life for some. of these nen must be • very very gloomy but they neithef ask fol nor do they want sympathy, When they went into training they signed up for whatever was ahead of them even if it was to give their lives, which many indeed have clone.

The order also prohibits charging com- missions or bonus payments or col- lecting of rewards, and deals with the conditional purchases and rentals of furniture in houses. Because attention of the Board has been drawn to the fact that ten- ants and prospective tenants were being required to pay commission or to pay rentals in advance for un- reasonable periods, or to pay some type of bonne for a lease or renewal of a lease, the Board decided to tighten 'the rentals restrictions, Mr. IVIiciehillips said, This order is nbw in effect. ---v Commercial Mixed.

FOOTBALL PICTURES s^ Striking football shots are easy at practice sessions—real action,, if you have a fast shutter; posed action with slower cameras. Make a collection this season! Timms drama for your camera 'r in this season's football activi- ties—and, strangely enough, some of the finest, most striking foot- ball action pictures 'are the easiest to take. Naturally, you'll take your cam- era to the games, so as to get a record of what happened.- But for really dramatic shots, the place to go is the practice sessions, where you'll be more free to moveabout, and can get closer.;to the players, If you have a fine camera with fast lens and speedy shutter, of course you can shoot genuine rapid action — such as in the picture above. That leap would call for a shutter speed, of, at least 1/200 sec- ond—if you caught the player at the peak -and preferably 1/400 or1/600, to be really on the 'safe side. 'But, even if your shutter is too slow for such shooting, don't feel handicapped. In leisure moments during practice, or after the ses- sion, most players will be glad to pose for you as if in action. And action poses can be surprisingly realistic. Here are two hints. First, keen. the camera neat the 'ground, tilted slightly upward. This low 'position makes the 'figures• tower dramati- cally—and also yields a good sky background. Second, use a color filter if you possibly can. A medium yellow filter will he best—it gives good tone quality to the sky, brings out whatever clouds there..are,, and theexposure increase required is very slight. See if yon can't build up a good album of striking football shots this season. Gridiron shooting makes a splendid camera specialty—and the. pictures are distinctly out of the "routine snapshot" class. Sohn van Guilder
