The porch floor offers a plain, simple back- ground which also helps. J1 T TIMES, everyone wants to ! . picture some unusually small subject. It may be a tiny pet— such as the kitten, or the squirrel` that comes up on the porch for a nut or two. In the spring, it is blossoms; later in summer, it's flowers. Every one of us has said, at some time or another, "Ohl How I wish I could get closer, so this, subject would show up bet- ter!" Well, you can. One method is to use a regular portrait attachment. Even with a fairly large fixed -focus camera, this will enable you to ap= preach as near as three feet to your subject. If it is a smaller fixed -focus camera, or has "two- point" or "three-point' focusing, you can get even closer -to two. and one-half feet, in some cases, And with: many of the finer focus- ing cameras, 'the portrait attach- ment brings you as near as two feet. These attachments are inex- pensive, and no trouble at an. If you want to go a step further, you can use a socalled "diopter" dens—also inexpensive. These are simple slip-on lenses, similar to the portrait attachment, but a bit more powerful. A. supplementary lens marked "three -plus" will en- able you to shoot with the camera only thirteen inches from your sub- ject—which is very close indeed. In all these, shots with slip-on lenses, you should measure the dis- tance carefully from eamera to subject, and then place the camera on a solid support at exactly that correct distance. A guide or table comes with each of these lenses, and shows which range' is correct for every setting of the camera. In many cases, you can show up a small subject effectively by hav- ing something in the picture that leads up to it. Por example, a hand feeding your small pet, or a per- son sniffing at your prize flower. This directs your attention to the small object, and makes it seem more prominent—even though it actually isn't any larger. Try these methods, next time you tackle a small object. They're a real help, and enable you to get a much more satisfying picture. .327 John van Guilder As the boys of the 161st Bettis, left town for Clamp Borden, Miss Jean and Master Willie Bell presented the boys with a box of home-made• taffy and a basket of snow apples, wish- ing the boys the best of. luck.

Hannam, President, Canadian Fede- ration of Agriculture, -.if prices of farm products are being held down by contract selling or wartime controls, while no check is placed on the farm- er's rising costs of production, how is it possible for him to pity much more for hired help, or to put more capital into cows, sows, feed or machinery? Without adequate returns for farm operations, it is humanly impossible for dairy farmers particularly, and others as well, to use their present stack and equipment to full advan- tage let alone expand stock and eq- uipment for maximum production. To date farm people have made a magnificent war contribution and it has been clone without profitable re- turns. To produce to their utmost at or below costs, under great handicaps is a demonstration of loyalty of the first order. From May 5th, to Aug. 31st, 1941, Huron County farmers marketed 26,046 hogs which grandee 89.45% A and Bl, netting the farmers $17,- 124.50 in subsidy. Huron County led all Counties in the Province in the number of hogs marketed and the tot- al amount of subsidy received. The Federation should receive a substantial amount of the 'credit for l the farmers receiving this amount of money.

GEORGE HOADLEY SPEAK The Goderieh township municipal hall at Hohnesville was filled.to seat- ing capacity Thursday evening, Get, 2nd, when the•Goderich Township un- it of the Federation of Agriculttu'c met to hear Hon. George Hoadley, former minister of the departments of Agriculture and, Health in the government of the Province of Al- berta, guest speaker -whose subject was Municipal Doctors. Mr. Wilmot Haacke, former reeve of Goderich township and warden of Huron was chairman. Mr. Macke called on Fred Watson, reeve of Stanley and president of the Huron Federation of Agriculture who addressed the assembly briefly ex- pressing gratification for the splen- did gathering of men and women who have shown their interest in, a sub- ject that is of major 'importance in community lite. The chairman then introduced the guest speaker who for upward of an hour spoke of the ad• vantages of a scheme of community doctors and health measures. Plan Is Different Doctors ' under the present system in Canada are interested only in sick people and must Wait for the patient's to call him while under the commun; icy scheme the doctor calls on well people with tke aittn of keeping then well. Mr. Hoadley urged the fedee ation te bake the matter up as one of FIRE SLOWS Firs Prevention Week concluded Saturday, Oct. 11th. The Government of Canada and underwriters' association in all prov- inces have combined once more to bring home 'to us the perils of fire, the waste of time and materials that ( result from it, the tragic loss of life, est of this 'need Vnot be if we would be ever - watchful to overcome the old, old human failing ---carelessness. I This year, we have received the ad- ditional warning that fire on the home front paralyzes men on the fighting front; that he who burns np time anis materiars in a Canada at war is menacing our war effort and, in proportion, helping Hitler. How vital time and materials are to us is obvious. Two years of war for us in Canada have been mainly two years of preparation. Today, the tide of victory is definitely with us. Why? Because, at long last, we of the Al- lied' camp are reaching that level in production of war materials which allows us to matchgun for gun, plane for plow, tank for tank, shell for AR EFF9RT shell with the Nazi terrorists who !were preparing while we were trad- ing. So, preventing fire becomes more than mere protection of the pocket book or bank account. It is a nation- ' al duty of the highest importance, and :it is not a duty that can be discharged by the mass. This is a job for the in- dividual. And it is not difficult. It simply calls for eternal vigilance against that carelessness so many of us are fain to term "an accident" . The vow never to take a chance with fire. As a people we can finance tons of fire protection; all that is not worth one ounce of fire prevention. And prevention, again, is the task of everybody. Last month, our Government asked us to reconsecrate ourselves to the !cause for which we fight. That means .alk -out effort. That effort cannot be all-out if We . allow fire needlessly to sap the foundations of our war machine. This is one way; each one of us must make every week Fire Preven- tion Week. the most important projects open to them as a eonimunity organization. Questions were asked by both men and women and an interesting open discission took place. Reeve Ben Eathwell ;moved the vote of thanks to the speaker. No definite action was taken by the meeting, but a meeting of the federation executive was called when it will be decided" if the scherfle will be taken up as a federation pro- ject.
