Method- ist, church are fortunate in securing the cervices of Rev. T. W. Neal for their anniversary services on Sunday. Rev. Mr. Neal is a brother of Mr. Albert Neal, of the base line, and twenty odd years ago he worked on: the farm of Mr, Thomas Mason. Sub- sequently he apprenticed himself with John Brunsclon, of Londesltoro. He has held. :several important charges since his ordination four- teen years ago and is now pastor of Bathurst St. Methodist Chureh, Toronto. An important matter is now be- eSNA S OTCU POINT O VIEW tri Low viewpoint, as.here, gives a picture one aspect. High viewpoint pro- duces a different picture. Try both. le/rANY things go into the makingIVA of an artistic, appealing picture ---and not the least important is the 'point of view. In fact, the viewpoint determines the type of picture you get. Consider a picture of.a person out of doors. Stand back thirty feet to take the. picture, and you get a Iandscape view with a figure in the foreground, Stand only a few feet from the sub, feet, and you get an informal por- trait with the minimum of back- ground. In other words, if you want to feature the person -get close to. your subject. If it's the landscape you want ---stand. back, Aagle shots are unusual and at- tract attention. 'Shoot From an ele- vation, and you get a "bird's-eye" view of your subject. Shoot from be- low and you •get ' -e a": a wor msy . -view. The resulting pictures of the same subject from the lowand high viewpoints will be quite different • and•they Will lend variety to your •snapshot •dolloction• For •example, the picture above was sriappeddfrom'the beach below the ,dining ;board. If the snap- shooter had boon' perched aloft in • alio diving tower, with his camera pointed downward toward the pair on the springboard, bis : picture would have been quite different entirely because ofthe difference in viewpoint. • In this picture, a I{-2 filter was used on the camera lens ,to darken the sky and emphasize the clouds. Ordinarily, the Alter would have ne- cessitated increased exposure, but here the 'beach reflected, so much light that 1/50 second at f.8 was cor- rect. Had the picture' been taken from a high viewpoint, with camera pointed down toward the water, no filter'wouid nave been used, because the water photographs dark with-' out it. Next time you're taking pictures —and today is as good a time as any—try snapping the same subject from several viewpoints, high, low,. close-up, and distant, Then compare the pictutes. o n s. Y u 11 readily e how P ye e viewpoint helps you to control the arrangement of, your pictures. You can simplify beekgrounds, eliminate undesirable parts of a scene, make all sorts of changes—all by moving. left or right, forward or backward., •This is one sure road to better, pic- tures --study different viewpoints; Choose the chest one to tell your'' story :then shoot. . 203 John van Guilder fore the electors—Do they ` want a Commission for Hydro and another for'Waterwoi•ks.

Dividends' have been fully earned an both Preferred and Conunon shares, after ample provisions have been made for de- preciation, obsolescence and the us- ual reserves. During this period out• sales vol- ume has been somewhat lower than last year, due to general business conditions which, we are happy to say, show signs of improvement' and with the automobile ananufacturers rapidly getting - into production on their 1939 models, our sales volume should keep up very well during the last quarter of the year."

Import Many Bulbs into the Dominion • The bulb importing season has again commenced. Recently bulbs of every size shape, and description, such as hyacanths, narcissi, daffo- dils, crocuses, freesias andntuseari, have been literally pouring into Can- ada from Great Britain, Holland, Bel- gium, France, and other countries. Millions of bulbs, actually 35,347,307, arrived during the season of 1937-38 and the indications are. that .phis large figure will :be surpassed during the impoltiug months of 1938-39. All these bulbs which before long will be in the possession of amateur or professional gardeners and : growers, later to produce plots of bloom, cut flowers and delightful garden beds in the spring, have to be handled and inspected before being allowed to be forwarded to their destination in Canada. Most of the bulbs in early Sept- ember arrive by boatload at Mon- treal where they are unloaded into the sheds at the docks. There the inspectors of the Plant Protection Division of the Dominion Department of Agriculture check each imports- tion to ascertain whether the import- er has the necessary permitte make the .importation - and to make sure that 'each shipment carries the nec- essary health inspection certificate of the country of origin,, and above all to' prevent plant disease from en- tering Cenada. At Montreal, P.Q,, Halifax, N.S., Saint John, N;,B., and Vancouver, B.C., or any other port of entry indicated by the Dominion Government, all plants entering Can- ada areexamined under the Destruc- tive Insect and Pest Act which gov- erns the importation of • nursery stock, bulbs and other plants. • Great can, accuracy, and speed are necessary, so that the life of a bulb inspector during the importing seas- on is particulat'ly• active. First of all thele are the millions of bulbs to be handled and the transportation com- panies are anxious to load their cars destined to ail: parts of Canada and clear the sheds for the next boat toad without delay. But the neces- sity for speed is secondary to care and accuracy.. All bulbs are not as they should be. The inspector conies upon diseases such ' ere botrytis of; tulips, dry rot of crocuses, dry rot and fusarium of freesias, and ':'bulb rot of narcissi; also'"/insect. infesta tion such ess eel worm in orris,; arc]. bulb fly in'narcissusi There are •oth er diseases of plants,- but whatever they are they are not permitted to enter Canada.

Has One—Tips on How To Carry Out the Work Efficiently and Interestingly Now, when women's Organizations, are getting into the fell routine of autumn work, may we draw atten- tion to the attributes of the efficient press secretary upon whom depends much of the public interest in her society. First of all,' the good press secre- tary sees that the report is in ono time, That means no later than the, morning of the day after the meet- ing.. eeting. If she cannot get down to the office with it, she telephones it in. Late news reports lose their news value and are often shoved out of their rightful place by items of fresh- er interest.... Then, the good press sectetary- pays attention to the correct spelling - of names, and gives correct initials.. The report is of interest to more - than the 'members of the society con- cerned, and other readers like tee,. know "which Mrs. Smith" is meant. The good press secretary under -- stands that changes are often ne- cessary in order that the report pray not seem like a repetition of some- body 'else's report. She learns hove' to put the most important item of the meeting first, and follow it with the more ordinary events.
