FROM THE CLINTON NEWS -
A shocking fatal accident happened
near Loft's corner, Bayfield Road, on
Wednesday, whereby Thomas Elliott,
second on of Mr. Gabriei'El'liott, lost
his life. How it happened is largely
conjecture, as no one saw it, and he
was quite dead when found. He was
driving a load of apples to Clinton,
when the bit broke in the horses'
mouth, and they tried to run away;
he evidently pulled the team over to7
ward the fence, when some of the
barrels slid forward, carrying him
with them. He fell with one leg ever
the whiffletrees and his body in front
of the wheel, in which position he was
dragged along the fence. portions of
his clothing .being torn off. The.
horses had apparently also kicked
him in the head, which was consider-
ably bruised and cut. Coroner Shaw
was summoned but did not deem a in-
quest necessary. Deceased was 36
years of age and leaves a widow and
one child. He was a brother of Mr.
J. W. Elliott' of town. ' ` '

A car with Nova Scotia license plates limps into a service
station in Winnipeg Steam is spouting from under the hood.
"It's your water pump," says the mechanic. "We can
have a new ono on in a jiffy—won't hold you up long."
Only a water pump—perhaps assembled in Oshawa or
Windsor from parts made in half a dozen different
towns, yet it fits to a T when this Manitoba mechanic
puts it on a car from Nova S fotia.
Uniformity—standardization—are big factors in tele-
phone service, too. You can talk practically anywhere,
any time, for one reason, because telephone equipment
made with meticulous care fits to a T in all parts of the
system. Operating methods are coordinated, too, so
that your call is put through
quickly and accurately—your
voice spans the miles direct
to your listener's ear. To a
nation at war, such standard-
ization is a great asset.

FIRE WASTE AIDS HITLER
This is Fire Prevention Week. .At
this time the Government of Canada
calls upon all of us to dedicate our-
selves to annihilate the Number One
Enemy of our daily lives Careless-
ness, with the grim reminder in these
critical days of war, that "Fire Pte-
veution is National Protection."
From coast to coast, we spend hun-
dreds of millions every year to try
and overcome destruction of human
beings• and of property by fire. We
built fire-resistant hones and com-
mercial buildings; We tax ourselves
to instal efficient waterworks and
fire mains, maintain fire departments
and apparatus organize fire marshal
departments and fire commissioners'
courts. And we spend millions more
on insuring ourselves against fire
lose, or should we say against persis-
ting individual carelessness? For re-
liable statistics show that, on the av-
erage, at least 80per cent of Cana-
da's outbreaks are caused through
"inexcusable ignorance anal neglect
and are therefore preventable."
Canada's fire bill last year totalled
$22,735,264, resulting from 46,629
outbreaks, the Canadian Underwrit-
ers'. Association informs us in an ana-
lysis of goves;nrnent fire loss statis-
tics, Careless smokers caused 13,264
of those 46,629 fires --more than 30
per cent. Smokers and matches
combined led to 15,750 outbreaks—
more than 33 per cent. Defective and
over Heated chimneys and flues;
stoves, furna'ces, boilers and smoke
pipes; hot ashes; coals, open fires
these also fed the fire fiend. What
is most serious is that, for more than
a decade, causes of fire in the Domin-
ion have classified in abdut the same
way. -So that, while we spend our
money to prevent and, fight fire, we
seem to make little progress in figh-
ting our habits. .
Allways, fire loss is slicer. waste.
But this year, fire loss also is sheer
help to Hitler. War factories work
under pressure; materials disappear
into the maw of the war machine;
raw and manufactured supplies are
almost priceless; laber is at a prem-
ium. Destruction of property by fire
may mean not merely loss of mater-
ials our boys need ,overseas; it may
mean loss of precious time for re-
placement. And if pa -eduction ,is made
up, time' lost is gone forever.

to dedicate ouselves to being ',more

gi=SNAPSHOT GUILD
CHILDREN IN THE TUB
s'
The bathtub is an excellent spot for delicate, high -key snapshots of chil-
dren—and these shots are easy with high speed film and photo bulbs
®
NE of the most popular spots in
the house, for snapshots of
small children, is the bathtub. It's a
natural location, not only because
children are particularly appealing
during the daily scrub, but also be-
cause the white walls and white
tub lend a bright, high -key quality
to the pictures.
The walls and tub serve both as
background and as a series of re-
flectors, completely encircling the
subject. Because of all these bright
reflections, the shadows are very
soft and clear—exactly the effect
you want in a child picture. This
effect can be obtained in other
shots if you use several reflectors
of white cloth or cardboard, to dis-
tribute the light—and it's a point
well worth remembering. Most in-
door, snapshots could be improved
100 percent by the use of reflectors.
When you,talce snapshots in the
bathroom, keep your photo lights
fairly high, so that the light San get
down into the,tub, If the bathroom
is rather small, one light can often
be -,placed in a ceiling fixture, and
the other used in a bridge lamp and
•,4ioss . tva i t•
moved about as required. For box --
camera snapshots, on high speed
film, use two No. 2 flood bulbs, with.
one in a ceiling fixture and the
other in a bridge lamp 4 feet from
the subject. Or, if. you Prefer to
use two bridge lamps with reflec-
tors, you can keep them both 4 feet
from the subject and have a No, 1
bulb in the second lamp, I prefer
the No. 2 bulbs because they give -
twice as much light and last about
three times as long.
In most bathtub snapshots, the
tub should be just about as bright
as the subject. It you need it a'bit
darker (for example, when the
young subject is having a shampoo
and you want the white lather to;
show) just bring your subject to
the near edge of the tub, and tilt
the reflectors down a trifle. This
shades the background just enough
—be careful not to darken it too'
mach.
Follow these suggestions next
time you shoot some tub pictures.
