WHOLE GRAIN CEREALS
Through the liberal use of Canad-
ian whole grain cereals, flaked, rolled
or cracked, the housewife can do much
to ensure the good health of her
family.
Cereals are an economical source of
quick energy and 'of many valuable
minerals and vitamins. B1, the vita-
min which research workers state is
most often lacking in the daily diet,
jos 'found en ganglions amounts tie'
whole grain cereals, especially wheat,

these plentiful foods not only at

about it. When the ,Minister praised
the women pilots "whe are doing a
spectacular job, without publicity,"
they showed their admiration with a

Example of Feminine Efficiency
At the time when Air Transport
Aarxiliary--the ferry service --was
started, and it was announced that
eight women were to be accepted,
some hardbitten male pilots were in-
clined to criticize the decision, Wom-
en might be all right in peace -time
flying, but could they go on day after
day, flying 250 m.p.h. trainer -fight-
ers and twin -engine reconnaissance -
bombers across the length and bread-
th of this foggy and storm -swept is.
Iand?
The next few months proved that
they could. Within one periods of six
months the eight women "foundation
members" of the A.T.A. delivered
1,000 new R,A,F, planes—fast, high
wing -loading craft with a bewilderieg
array of instruments and dials in
their cockpits—from factory to air-
field without a single mishap.
Since those early days many more
women have been accepted for A,T',A.,
including two Polish girls. By Sep-
temeber, 1941, there were between
40 and 50. The great increase in air -

though she may at last arrive frozen
and frightened=she knows it is use-
less to "shoot a line' to people who are
doing this sort of thing every day as
a matter of course . -"
The ferry pilots are busiest 'when
weather15 good'. But often they have
to fly in real "thick -stuff' which tax-
es even their expert knowledge of
cross-country navigation. For, with
new planes streaming faster and fas-
ter off the assembly lines, a few days
of idleness would result in concentra-

TABLE -TOP PICTURES
Two plaster figurines, one amateur photo lamp in a handy cardboard
reflector, a portrait attachment slipped over the lens, and the result—a,
table -top humorette. Note hoW the 1 ght was placed low and to the right
w the shadows of the subjects would be caston the background.
HAVE you ever tried table -top
pictures? It's really a lot of
fun and quite simple, too.
No, this type of picture taking
doesn't require expensive equip-
ment. The simplest camera will be
adequate. Ordinary bouse lights can
be used for illumination, if you give
time exposures. Or, if you prefer
to make snapshot exposures, you
can use 'high speed Alm with a
couple of amateur photo lamps for
your Might source.
Materials for tabletop ,photogra-
phy can be picked up around any
home. At the start, it may be a
good idea to peek into the nursery
and select a few toys such as a
teddy bear, dolls, lead soldiers, and
the like. Try to pick out toys which'
can be adjusted to different posi-
tions, that is, those which have
movable arms and legs—so .yon can
create all sorts of picture situations.
The technique for table -tops is,
quite simple. Just arrange your•
lights exactly as you would for any
other indoor picture. Whenever pos.
sible, use a small lens opening, for
you'll get sharper pictures. Por iuost
pictures of this type the camera
should be fairly close to the subject,
and if yours doesn't focus for
"close-ups," you will need a portrait
attachment to slip on the lens. This,
inexpensive gadgetenables you to
place the Camera within three and
one-half feet of thetabletop scone.
Tho next time you get out your
camera for some indoor pictures,,
try two or three table -tope for the.
fun of it. This evening is a good
time, and, I am sure that after you
have made a few of these unusual
pictures, you'll be busy` thinking up
ideas for more.
