A deep yellow filter recorded the sky in a dark tones, accentuat- ing the white building, and greatly enhanced the texture rendering. R ECORDING home town history w". . isa fascinating field for the amateur photographer. With your ...camera you can make a historical picture story of changes in the local scenes, and in time your album will i be a treasure chest ad people, .places, and events, Seale of the plc- 'tures lc'tures may seemcommonplace now, I but they -will become as interesting and valuable twenty to thirty years ;hence as those of the "Gay Nine- ' ties" are today. Do yon remember your town thirty years ago? Perhaps the streets were . gravel or dirt -now they are paved. The livery stable, blacksmith shop, :and the general store all played a !prominent role in everyday life. :Now the horse and carriage is an 'oddity, the blacksmith shop has ;given way to the garage, and the Store that contained everything from mouse traps to coveralls, whose owner was both the postmaster and . the :sheriff, is relatively rare. Suppose you had a camera then = and recorded all these subjects. You could now picture things as they are today and make up a wonder- • _fur album of comparison snapshots' ' that would not only be enjoyed but envied by many. The changes In the next thirty ..years min probably be just as great :and noticeable as those in the past. Many towns still have houses of '"gingerbread" architecture, and other historical'fandmarks which are soon to be replaced. New buildings are being constructed, the street ear has already been replaced by buses in many localities. Styles ehange every year, skirts grow longer or shorter, and our outdoor activities and sports are constantly changing. When planning your picture his- tory, select subjects which,in your judgment, are most typical of your town. Street scenes, residences, downtown buildings, present types or automobiles, trains, airplanes, and many other things contain etas meats that are modern today', but stay be obsolete tomorrow, Take a number of good compari- son pictures. For example, take a shot of an old house which is being torn down, and then, later, take a snapshot of the modern structure which replaced it. For variety in your album, try a number of un- usual angle shots similar to our illustration above. And don't forget night scenes of electric signs, light- ed buildings, and the main street. 73istory is being made every day, and your camera 1s an Ideal means of recording it. You'll be surprised at the changes made in a five- or ten-year period. Things we see to- day will be nothing but a memory in a short while, and the snapshots you take now will have greater and greater appeal as time goes on. 343 John van Guilder NEWS Or AZJB 7R.N Mr. Jas.

"The .most critical problem faced by the farmer today is getting hired help—and paying for it. In the planning of the national war effort, little attention has been given to the question of the farm labor sup ply. But it is a vital one to farmers who want to stay in production. The young men and women who used to work on farms, both as perma- nent and seasonal help, have been drawn away from the farms in great numbers since the beginning of the war. Industrial employment took away many; voluntary enlistment took away many' others; and! mampuisory training and conscription for home defense absorbed still more. The number of wage -paid male workers in Canadian farms declined 16 per cent in 1941. The only thing farmers could do was to offer higher wages in the hope of attracting labor back. In 1941 farm wages went up 14,1 per cent for the whole of Cana- da. Aa t°ite labor shortage is felt more acutely in some provinces than others, farm wages went up more in those areas; in Novia Scotia by 20 per cent, in New Brunswick by 24 per cent, and in Ontario, by 25 per cent.

Co-operation alone will make low cost farm machinery possible. It is not sufficient to just wish for lower- priced machinery. Farmers who de- sire this most work bard for it through group action. A united or- ganization of farmers will get results. Every ane will admit that in re- lation to the income of the farmer, germ machinery prices axe considera- bly out of line. In 1913, it required 261 bushels of wheat to buy a binder at Regina, In 1940, it took 687 bush- els ushe1s to buy the same binder. Somewhere along the line this sit- uation needs correcting, and, since the farmer's very existence depends greatly on these implements, the proper steps must be taken toward a fair and equitable solution." v Injured Deer Shows Wonderful Strength Provincial Constable Frank Fox Mlle of an unusual incident that oc- curred one and a -half miles west of Dungannon on Sunday morning last. He received a relayed' telephone mes- sage from. Chief of Police Ross that a deer had been run over in that area by George Hodges when it suddenly ran in front of Hodges' car, the deer emerging' from a ditch, Both hind Kegs of the animal had been broken clean off, but the animal got away. Constable Fox investigated and found that the deer, a full-grown buck, had travelled three-quarters of a mile on the stumps of its hind legs and; had swum the Maitland River. It was still living when the constable caught up with it. A revolver shot put it out of misery. Hodges said that despite its distressing handicap the deer ran so fast across a field that he was un- able to keep: up with it.—Goderich Signal -Star. • ,: -v TITCKERSMITR' The Tuckersmith Ladies Club will hold their December meeting on Wed- nesday the 3rd, at the home of Mrs. Albert Pepper, The roll call to be answered by a Christmas suggestion.
