Red Cross Notes
Where does your Red Cross money
go?
Prisoners of war receive parcels of
food, refugees are given food, cloth-
ing and blankets. The men who go
down to the^sea in ships receive warm:
woollen knitted things, so necessary
to protect them from the cold' and
raging storms' of the Atlantic.
The Canadian Red Cross is doing a
job of unbelievable' magnitude and
variety, with the aid of an army of
hundreds of thousand's of voluntary
workers and the whole -hearted sup-
port of the people of Canada, '
Eighty cents < out of every dollar
goes to war work, 14.5 cents to
peacetime services and only 5.5 cents
for administration, campaign, and
publicity purposes.
On October 18 a meeting will be
held in the Clinton Town Hall to hear
Dr. W. S. Caldwell from the Toronto
Branch of the Red Gross. All those
of you who have questions' to ask
about the Red Cross or who still
doubt its integrity or efficiency,
kindly bring your problems to this
meeting. Unkind remarks are still
being made, unjust criticisms are be-
ing heard. Nazi propaganda if you
will; perhaps on the lips of innocent
people, but harmful and damaging to
this magnificent work none the less;
and damaging too, to our splendid
men, giving their all that we may
continue our lives of ease and secur-
ity. Keep the date open. This is
your opportunity to learn the truth.
The local branch have been asked
toe donate some furnishings for the
new Training School being built on
the Blue Water Highway. Have you
a chair you could do without? or a
table or couch? These articles are
for the comfort of the boys, coming,
many of them, from long distances,
New Zealand, Australia, England.
Let them not find us wanting in hos-
pitality or generosity. Let us share,
not our cast-offs, but our best.
'• --We are still hoping with the help
of the Clinton Town Counicl, to get
our salvaging campaign under way.
Save all paper, books, magazines,
cereal cartons,• boxes, salt cartons,
scrap iron, aluminum pots or pans,
old rags, rubber, silver paper from
tea, etc., old mattresses.
Dr. Douglas has generously offer-
ed the use of his barn. for storage
purposes. Watch for the date of col-
lection.
How To Save:
"Assort all your waste and keep
each kind in separate bundles, either
in feed bags or in packages. Tag and
label each parcel.
"Have a scrap bag into which put
all small pieces of paper, old letters,
envelopes, cardboard boxes, maga-
zine covers and, book covers. Large
pasteboard boxes should be broken
up.
"Cloth should be cut off rubbers
and the covers of books and maga-
zines torn off,"
It seems altogether probable that
we will have to do all this and other
things eventually, so why not now?
The following donations are grate-
fully received: a quilt, Miss J. Mil-
ler; five dollars, a friend; seventy-
five dollars, S. S. No. 4 Goderich
Township; two dollars, anonymous,
Word has been received of the urg-
ent need of 500,000 garments for
men, women and children, for re-
fugees and evacuees in Britain. The
following garments are required:
layettes, all kinds of girls, boys, men
and women's clothing.
In order to ensure a proper bal-
ance between sizes and types of gar-
ments, each branch is being issued
with a quota. The following quota
must be filled by the local branch
and surrounding units: Women -80
dresses, size 36; 20 shirts, size 16;
20 pullovers or blouses, size 16; 20
slips, size 18; 2 jackets, large; 80

Such details often
TITHEN you see an opportunity for
VY a Picture, shoot it—but don't
always stop there. Think a bit, and
see if there isu't a way to improve
the shot and make it more pointed•
Every good picture has a point—
it tells you something when you
look at it. The more definite you
can snake the idea or "story," the
better the picture. And often little
added details, things that don't oe.
cur to you at first glance, yield a
much -improved shot.
For example, consider the boys
and their wagon -works, as shown
above. Chances are, Dad supplied
the tools and the idea, and shot a
first picture in the backyard. Than,
very likely, the "men Working', h " e
ei n down the street su ested a
g
better background --one that would
make the picture more effective -
so the scene was changed fora
second shot. Incidentally, this shot
might have been even better if it
included the whole sign.
That's the way a lot ee good pie,
tures are made. The first picture
doesn't have to be the fnal'one. If
ea s good,it's repeat-
an id is t s worth
ing later—in a different locatioe, or
with .different, subjects, Oftentimes,
shot, the sign helps tell the story.
'make" a picture,
in examining a print, you can see
points where the picture might be
improved—and in a great many
cases, it's easy enough to get a
second shot.
To make your pictures more
Pointed, here are some tips. First,
show the action clearly, so anybody
can tell what is going on. The
camera position has a lot to do
with this, and sometimes a shift of
a foot or so to one side will make
a world of difference. Bolding the
camera higher or lower makes a
difference, too.
Second, eliminate things that
don't contribute to the picture idea.
If there are objects that have no
part in telling the .story, move
them aside, or choose a viewpoint
that leaves them out of the picture.
Third, keep the interest within
the picture, Let the subjects look
at what they're doing. Few pictures
demand that the subject look at the
camera, or even appear aware of it.
Try these hints, when you're
shooting pictures—sad when the
first shot,isn't perfect, get a second
one. It's a poor idea that isn't worth
two or more pictures.
