MANY camera fans "picture'

rression. To them It seems to imply

ieeply into artistic theory—indeed,
i11 manner of effort and trouble.
ant, as a matter of .fact, picture•
:omposition is pimply a pleasing,
irrangement—•an arrangement that,

After all, every picture subject is

Let's briefly consider our illustra,.
Ion. It's a good example of what
vas accomplished when a photograr.
filer changed his position and ob..
,alned an appealing, well composed
ileture:of an attractive young lady.
ust before she -rand the smart snap-
shooter—got down to the busiuesa
i1 skiing.
There was nothing attractive about
the snow -cleared road which passed,
by this small grove of spruce trees
and to take a picture of this pert
little bundle of femininity standing,
on a barren concrete highway, all
set for skiing, just wasn't the thing
to do. y
The solving of the problem was
very simple—simple because ` the
photographer had an eye for com-
position possibilities. He had the
young lady walk far enough into
the openspace.in the spruce grove so
that She would 'be more or less
"framed" by the trees on each side
of the clearing. The more, distant
trees served as an excellent back •
-
ground. As aresult of this planning
or arrangement of the picture, the
eyes are directed, or led to' the prin-
cipal subject—the girl.
This is a good example of the
results any amateur photographer `
can achieve if he studies the possi-
bilities for attractive locations, ar-
rangement, or composition before
he shoots, Spend a few extra mo-

How many of us would stand up for
Christ in the way the armed forces
are standing up for their country.
We forget that our Saviour is the
King of earth as web as of Heaven.
We .may think we have to answer
to some earthly power but the for-
ces of earth have no jurisdiction
over the rule of God.
Why will we not realize these
things and give Christ first place
in our lives? He wants to "have it
and 'offers us Salvation free. If any-
one else ; offered ,us a gift we would
,in all probability accept it, but when
we are given the greatest gift of
earth and heaven without a -payment
'of any kind wee refuse to take it.
There are two things in life
which will keep us close to God and
will help us to draw others to Him.
One as constant communication with
Him in prayer and the other is mak-
ing His word a part of our lives:
''A ' minister in England saw a
young boy came into church one week
end and kneel in prayer. He remain-
ed so long, en his, knbes that the
minister asked him when he got up
if he came often into the church to
pray.' The boy answered four times
in the' last five days. "Nave you
someone fighting in Dunkerque?"
"Yes, my Daddy, But he got .home
t'o:day, so I came in to thank God,"
was the simple reply. So often we
pray for something we want but
we fail to return thanks for all the
blessings 'God has bestowed on us.
"How precious is the Book divine,
By inspiration given:
Bright as a lamp its doctrine shines
To guide our soul to Heaven.
Teach me to love thy sacred wordy
Be. Thou for ever near; '
Divine Instructor, gracious. Lord;

A Costly Venture
Those who advocate the sociali-
zation of all industry. in this county,
might well ponder the record of
Toronto's eivic abattoir.
In the twenty-nine years that the
abattoir has been in. operation, the
gross revenue has' been $4,561,519,
and the total expenses $4,926,194—
the deficit amounting to $364,675.
That was the total accumulated
deficit as of December ,,,31, 1943.
Since then the sum' of $100,000 has
been appropriated for maintenance.
For only a few years hajs `the
abattoir shown an operating surplus,
and even that would have ibeen'wip-
ed out !ff it had been subjeeted to
the same taxation that privately.*
owned businesses pay. The 'civic ab-
attoir pays no municipal tax, income
tax, excess profits tax nor corpora-'
tion tax—yet it is operated at a
loss.
When • the abattoir was • opened in
1915, .its advocates argued that' its
operation as a municipal enterprize
would be justified because it would
keep down the price of meat. But the
taxpayers • in Toronto have had'to
pay virtually the ' same for their
roasts, steaks ,' and chops as have,
the citizens in other parts of Ontario
where no civic abattoir • boosts the
tax rate.
Ardent soelalists may contend
that generalizing from this partici],
lar example of a publicly' owned
business' would be unsound, reason-
ing; but what justification is there
for assuming that • greater success
would be achieved by a civic iron -
weeks brickyard; or gasoline 'refin-
ery?
In accordance with the principle.
that' experience is a great teacher,
some may attribute the discourag-
ing history of Toronto's clbic• "abat-
toir toinsufficient experience with
publicly -owned enterprizes; and, to
support that argument they: may
eite the relative success of the
Toronto hyeerd-e1ectrie system, lend
the Toronto Transportation Commis -
/ion. But, both ,these latter services
are monopolies; they are not sub-
jested to the competition from pr
i-
Vete industry in their respective
spheres.
In that connection, is there,a
gle example of a publtcly;owned in-
dustry or""egtvic
e. in the whole ' o£
Canada. which is a su^cess without
being a monopoly in its field?

Rationing
Canada's war machine is • as
modern as tomorrow's headlines. Its
progeam of battle en the home front
and the . fighting 'front .is ' born of
the genius of .the -.scientific twen-
tieth century. But the great weapon
of its 'civilian ariny—the rationing
of foods is almost as old as its
civilization for it finds its first •pre-
cedence in the Canada of 1542.
While in the earlier' history it was
war which i;esulted in rationing the
first plan in Upper Canada was due
indirectly to the American Revolu-
tion, United Empire Loyalists Carne
to ' this -country leaving `.`all behind
except their honor.",At the end of
hostilities. the British government
turned its attention towards the
plight of those ' people who with
the exception of the few Erench in
the Detroit area were the first
permanent settlers in Ontario.
Itwas decided that the Loyalists
and the disbanded soldiers should
receive the same rations as soldiers
for three years. These consisted of
flour, pork, a 'limited` quantity of
beef, a very little ,butter and salt.
Each was allotted an axe, a hoe and
"a spade., Coarse cloth was provided
for trousers and Indian blankets and
shoes were distributed and given as
equitable a distribution as possib,.
Normally three years would have
been sufficient to make the new
residents independent of 'government
assistance - but when the allowance
would have been discontinued; Upper
Canada suffered "the Hungry Year".
In garrisons soldiers shared their
rations, so that at Kingston they
were reduced to one biscuit a day.
At Niagara Falls the King's stores
were distributed among the people
who lived close by.
