Mr. C. Dixon, while engaged in the
work of cleaning his lawn on Satur-
day was the victim of a peculiar ac-
cident, being shot in. the leg. Some
time ago when the work was being
done about the hydro station some
explosive shells were used. A few
of these were left at the back of
the power house and carried away by
children. Some of these were appar-
ently raked up by Mr. Dixon and
when the fire was lighted he received
a charge in the calf of his leg, Some
time ago young Amos Osbaldeston
hammered one of the shells with a
stone with the result that his hands
and face were burned.
The old sheds at the rear of Willis
manse are being torn down, Repairs
are being made to the house and the
whole premises are being put in
order.
Me. Andrew Portes, formerly as-
sistant postmaster at Clinton, but re-
cently of the Sterling Bank, Goderich,

Woodley brought back several souv

Internees Appreciate
Humane Treatments.
PAGE 3
There are worse fates Germane
could suffer than being interned' in
Canada during war time, for instance
being free its their own. Fatherland.,
This on the testimony of those wards
of the Canadian government who still
retain their German nationality. Ex-
tracts• from their letters to their
friends are the best proof of this,
and incidentally, corroborate that, in
this country the Internatienal' Con-
vention Relative to the Treatment of
Prisoners of War is interpreted in
the broadest and most humane spirit.
One letter from a prisoner in the
internment camp at Petawawa epit-
omises the sense and feeling of num-
erous others however much the words
may differ. He writes: •
•
"The treatment is very kindly and
the food very good and be sure many
got not so good to eat as they have
here."
. Anotherassures his relatives:
"Here in the camp we axe looked
after all right. We have enough
decent food and everything is going
an smoothly. We are free .all day
to do what we like, .either go for a
walk or while away the time in the
recreation hall. In some respects we
are better off than the Militia as
we have a German cook. Of course
it is not as nice as to be with my
darling -however, it is not too bad
at all."
One of the prisoners at Petawawa
knew something of the last war and
of the conditions then prevailing in
his homeland, as this excerpt shows:
"I have to give the authorities a
lot of credit for the treatment they
are giving us -all of them from the
Commandant down to a private are
as pleasant as possible. Food is
good and for sure better than we had
it at home in Germany during the
last war. Clothing also sufficient."
His evidence is supplemented by
another who thankful to be able to
write in German assures his people:
"We get 3 good meals a day and
enough also. If anybody should com-
plain about the treatment, I would
say that he is a big liar."
Constantly reiterated in the letters
is the refrain, "'Do not send me any
food. The food they give us here is
excellent and plentiful." This is var-
ied sometimes to, "Do not send me
any more parcels, as I do not need
anything."
Kannnaslcis internment Camp pris-
oners are particularly emphatic in
their assertions that the wants of
the inner man are fully taken care
of. One of. .them. received in reply
a letter stating: •
"I am glad to know that your huts
are nice and warm and that your of-
ficers are very niee to you. I must
say that in Germany they would not
be so nice to us. You 1. -now how
they are treating us at home (Ger-
many) in the police station. They
shout at us over the least Iittle
thing."
inter, all responsible to one Minister
of National Defence. .
Mr. Duncan is coming to Ottawa
only for three months, Mr. King said,
but during that period permanent ar-
rangements far carrying on the work
will be made.
The job of organizing for the Brit-
ish Commonwealth Air Training Plan
will be Mr. Duncan's heaviest task.
His recognized business experience as
head of one of the world's greatest
implement companies will be drawn
on. He is considered one of the most
incisive men in Canadian industry,
and Mr. King expressed the gratitude
of the Government to Massey -Harris
Company for lending Mr. Duncan to
Ottawa.
Few men have attained such out-
standing success in the busitYess world
as has Mr. Duncan and his talents
and ability, in addition to his energy
and enthusiasm, willbe of inestimable
value in the organizing and building
up of the Dominion's great undertak-
ing in the British Commonwealth Air
Training Plan.
While bath army and navy expan-
sion has been along established lines,
the rapid development of the air
force in Canada is breaking new
ground. In the appointment of Mr.
Duncan, the Government takes the
attitude that the main need at the
moment is business experience. The
chief of the air staff and the officers
will look after technical air force
problems.

Deeply impressed by the skill and
care given to him while he underwent
an operation. one appreciative pris-
oner had "at all times the feeling
that everything was looked after well
and that I personally could not have
arranged matters better."
"I am hoping to be able to return.
my thanks to you by service to main-
tain order in this camp."
In Canadian eyes these internees
are neither automata nor brutes. The
fortunes of war have placed them
where they are but it is evident on
their own testimony what can be
done to mitigate their lot is done.
The free and genial air fostered un-
der our democratic system permeates
even the confines of their prison
camps, and the humanity and kindli-
ness of their temporary jailers con-
trasts strikingly with What they
could expect under similar conditions
in their own land.

USE THE SHADOWS TOO
Shadows tell the story here. Learn to observe shadows and create
shadow effects. They lead to more interesting pictures.
FIADOWS are important in a pic-
ture -in fact, just as important
at times as the brightly lighted
areas. Observe shadows -use them
judiciously -and your pictures will
be more effective.
Every artist knows that a strong
shadow can be used to make a sub-
ject stand away from a background.
The shadow gives an effect of
depth or "third dimension," even
though the picture is actually on a
flat sheet of canvas or paper.
Shadows, when used properly,
also give an effect of roundness or
"modeling" to a subject: 33y placing
a light at the proper angle, often a
rather fiat subject can be made to
seem well-rounded. If the subjects
in some of your pictures seem fiat
and lacking in "third distension,"
maybe you just haven't been plac-
ing your photo lights in the best
positions.
There's a special use, too, for
shadows cast on a background.
Sometimesthey can be made to
bring out the idea or "story" of a
picture. For example, 3n the. statu-
ette shot above, the shadow shows
the action clearly -more, clearly
than die subjects themselves:
To obtain a sharp, clean • cut
shadow on a background, use a
photo bulb without a reflector. Two
photo bulbs side by side, withotit re-
flectors, will give a double shadow.
ItIany novel effects can be worked.
out. However, you must remember•
that a reflector multiplies the light
from a photo bulb. Therefore, when
you omit the reflector, exposure
must be increased. Short "time" ex-•
posures will usually be needed with
inexpensive cameras. Try one to,
two seconds, with a box camera and.
high speed film, when a small
No, 1 photo bulb is used eve or six
feet from the subject. Of course„
have the camera on a firm support..
The closer the photo bulb is to
the camera, the "flatter" the light-
ing. As the bulb is moved around
toward :the side of the subject, the
lighting becomes more contrasty
and shadows tore broader. When use
ing "side lighting," make sure that.
