Browne, National Director of Junior Red Cross, on her return to Toronto from Nova Scotia. At Truro, Miss Browne attended a conference which was the first of its kind held in the Dominion. High School teachers representing every section of Nova Scotia gathered in special session to discuss the organi- zation of Junior Red Gross branches. Delegates unanimously decided to try to organize students one hundred per cent. in Junior Red Cross work before the end of the year. "It was a great occasion. in the history of Junior Red Cross," Miss Browne commented. "0f course; we have had the enthusiastic co-opera- tion of Departments of Education in other provinces for some time, but this is the first time High School teachers have met for the sole pur- pose of discussing Junior Red Cross." Professor A. E. Mowat of Dalhousie University and the principal and members of Normal College staff also attended the conference. There are 600,000 members of the Junior Red Cross in high schools, private and public schools in Canada at the present time, Miss Browne stated. Because, she added, they had all been imbued with the idea of ser- vice in peacetime during the past 20 years, they were ready and keen to plunge into work for the soldiers when war was declared in September 1939. In the autumn of 1940, service for evatuated children in England was added to the programme. . "1t is significant," she said, "that M spite of the vast amount of work carried on by Juniors for soldiers, their donations to the Crippled Child- ren's Fund, the principal peace -tune activity of the Junior Red Cross, in- creased rather than diminished." Canadian Juniors, by raising money through various ways as well as by saving and earning money individual- ly, have built up, an impressive Sold- iers' Fund, and four ambulances have already been purchased for the Brit- ish Red Cross. St. Paul's Sunday School , Concert The St. Paul's church Sunday School Christmas entertainment was held on Friday evening. The super- intendent, John Hawkins was chair- man and gave a fine address.

HAVE you ever taken pictures around the flreplace—showing the natural firelight effect? It's easy to do—and the pictures have a warm, homelike, cheerful quality that makes thane welcome in the album. Maybe you think, "Oh, firelight is too weak for pictures." And you're right. It is—except for time ex- posures. But there are lots' of tricks in amateur photography—end by uslug one of them, you can get snapshots that show the firelight effect, just as easily as any other snapshots at night. Here's how we do It at our house. We pick a time when there isn't a fire—pelt our photo bulbs and re- flectors on ordinary extension cords —and tuck them back in the fire- place out of sight. When we turn them on, presto'.—there's the fire- light, coming from just the right angle, but with plenty of brightness and punch for photography, And we cau take snapshots, on high speed film, with the camera held in the hand. If we want to show details in the room, back in the shadow parts, we use another photo bulb in a bridge lamp or fixture—placed back far enough so it doesn't dim the firelight effect. You can tell how far back to place this additional light, when you turn the others on —and it doesn't affect the exposure. If your camera is a box camera or one of the simple folding mod- els, place two of the big bulbs—the No. 2 kind—in the fireplace, and have the subjects 5 to 6 feet from the bulbs. Use the regular lamp- shade -type reflectors with these bulbs, as for regular snapshots at night. If your lens has f numbers, set it at //11 end the shutter speed at 1/25 second, and that will be correct for this lighting. A small No.1 bulb can be used for the extra light to brighten the shadows. For all these shots, load the camera with high speed film. There are many occasions for fire- side shots—and lots of ideas. You can pose the family popping pop- corn—the youngsters playing with their toys in front of the fireplace, or the folic who drop in on New Year's Day to sit by the fire. You'll like the effect of these fireside pic- tures, and they'll find a prominent place in your album. 308 John van Guilder Santa Claus arrived and delighted the children and amused the grown ups with his antics and remarks. He was assisted in distributing presents, candy and oranges by the superin- tendent and teachers. Singing of God Save the King, and benediction brought to a close a happy evening's entertainment. Christmas In Norway "Norway is a land of ancient tra- ditions. Traces of customs prevalent in Viking clays are found in the Christmas festivities now observed especially in the rural communities," says a clipping that comes to us with- out indication of the source. "Preparations for Christmas begin well before the first week in Decem- ber, The house must be cleaned from garret to cellar. Floors and woodwork must be scrubbed and rubbed to bring out their natural grain and colors, Handwoven rugs and drapes Must be beaten and dusted. Stoves, andirons and kettles- must be polished until they mirror their surroundings. But above all, the pantry must be stocked with a large variety of choice cookies and other good things to eat. "The Christmas tree is an object of special attention. The younger mein-, bers of the family busy themselves in designing and cutting out cookie dough, and baking various human, animal, and other shapes with which to decorate the tree. "The decoration of the tree is sur-' rounded by a good bit of mystery, and takes place behind closed doors usually in the "best room," which is the centre of all social activities dur- ing the holiday season. The, birds also share the Christmas cheer With a pole erected in the yard and capped with a sheaf of grain. City dwellers hang the sheaf outside the window, for they, too, remember their feathered friends. "The Yule celebration begins at 5 o'clock on Christmas )rve, when all the church bells 'ring in Christmas.' This is the signal Tor stores to close, for all business activities to cease, and for everyone to hurry home. Light refreshments are served; and then the door to the "best room" is flung wide open. • "The entire household, old and young, including servants, takes part in the celebration. Sometimes, a Santa Claus, covered with snow and laden with packages, arrives to en- liven the scene. Gifts for everyone are distributed; and all join in danc- ing, singing carols, and playing games•around the tree. On Christmas morning at 7 o'clock, and again at 17, the family goes to church to hear the story of the Christ Child, and to sing the old familiar hymns."
