LUIL
Printing and Enlarging Your Own
Principle),
of an en-
larger: the
farther the
lens is from
the paper
the greater
the enlarge-
ment.
Enlargements bring out interesting detail. Light and
shadow tones may be Improved in the process.
ALTHOUGH relatively few cam
era owners develop and print
their own negatives, a greater num-
ber now do their own printing and
enlarging. They find that in this
part of picture -making there is a
wide range of opportunity to exer-
cise their artistic talents and pro-
duce prints -suiting their own tastes
and fancies.
Developing negatives -what with
daylight developing in film tanks
and dependable formulae in dark-
rooms -has in these days become
largely a "time and temperature"
process practically certain, if the
exposure' was correct, to produce
good negatives. Printing a negative,
developing a print and making an
enlargement are very much "some-
thing else again," not that they are
formidabletasks, but decidedly
more choosy. Skill and judgment
play a large part,•
ThererM oonaiderable choice, for
one thing, in the kind of photo-
graphic paper on which the nega-
tive may be printed, depending upon
the degree of contrast the Taper
will .give to the dark and light por-
tions of the negative, or whether or
not soft effects are desired. Some
negatives show extreme contrast in
lights and shadows; some have
average contrast; Some, because of
faulty exposure, are weak, thin and
fiat; some, extremely' so. The selec-
tion of paper best suited to the type
of negative and the kind of picture,
plus proper exposure in printing,
often makes the difference between
a good and a bad picture.
Again, there is a choice of sur-
faces in paper, such as velvet,
glossy, semi -gloss, according to
taste, The highly glossy paper, for -
example, is best suited for a nega-
tive filled with detail. Again,' re•de-
velopment solutions are available,
for giving a print a different tone,
such as sepia for an autumn scene.
The amateur who does his own
printing has the opportunity, too, of
masking portions of the negative to
suit his own artistic judgment. He
may give a picture a,more .balanced
composition or eliminate undesir-
able details on the sides, top, or bot-
tom. In a cloudless picture he may
insert clouds by 'printing in" from
another negative, and lie gray
amuse himself by producing trick
pictures .by printing from two or
snore negatives.
Equipped with an enlarger, the
amateur has still greater opportu-
nity to improve his pictures and sat-
isfy his own tastes. This is an ap-
paratus with which a large positive
Image is obtained by permitting
rays of light to pass through the
negative, then through a lens and
focus on a sheet of sensitive bro-
mide paper.
With an enlarger the amateur
may "blow up" a picture to several
times the area of the negative. This
may result in the transformation of
a very ordinary looking picture into
an extraordinarily impressive one,
because the enlarging often reveals
details of interest or beauty not vis-
ible in the small "contact" print. He
may select only portions of a nega-
tive to enlarge -any portion - bY
masking light from the remaining
area; he may even make two or
three pictures from one negative.
There are ways, too, of controlling
the shadow tones of different\parts
of a picture, thereby greatly en-
hancing its artistic value.
All these possibilities aro worth
knowing, even if ypu clo leave their
execution to your photo finisher, be-
cause you can give him intelligent
instructions as to what you prefer
in the finishing of your snapshots.

Every week dozens of papers are
mailed from this office to those who
wish to keep in touch with the old
home town. They like to read about
you and what you are doing. You
would like to read about them, too.
You wonder how they are getting a-
long. That is why every newspaper
office appreciates learning about the
activities of those who have gone a-
way from their town -to tell the folks
who are still around. From time to
time, we hear of these things, from
one source or another.
This is just made possible by the
kindness of friends of the paper, who
hear of these things. We would like
more of them. If you are away, and
have something of interest to tell
the hone folks drop us a line about it.
If you are at home, come in and tell
us . Cooperate with us in this way
and make your paper of more inter-

COMMON MAN CARRIES ON
Just now, when the words "super"
and "stupendous" are being so heavily
overworked, the importance of the
common man in the general scheme
of things is sometimes forgotten. The
big figures who strut about impor-
tantly on the national and interna-
tional stages absorb so much atten-
tion that the public and the leaders
alike forget that without the efforts
of the ordinary people the so-called
great men would suddenly collapse.
Recently Anne O'Hare McCormick,
talented feature writer of The New
York Times, returned from Europe
where she had observed the great
national figures in the leading coun-
tries. But she was not so much im-
pressed by the key -men as by the
toughness and elasticity of their na-
tions. She pays high tribute to the
capacity of ordinary people to adapt
themselves to the whims of their rul-
ers, and finds this quality more -re-
markable than the capacity exhibited
by any government.
Under the pressure of dictatorships,
she finds, as under the uncertainties
of democracies the common people "go
quietly about their daily business,
scheming for profit, seeking for pleas-
ure, eluding, evading, or humoring,
their masters, by their normal habits
preserving the effect of normal life
in abnormal times"
The result is that life 'breaks
through the artificial bonds and car-
ries on, and there is more light and
cheer in the encircling gloom than
might be imagined.
This is very cheering.' It vindicates
the democratic attitude, which insists
that it is the common sense of the
majority which will triumph eventu-
ally. It also indicates that there may
have been something in what old Ad-
am Smith said about enlightened self-
interest, and the wisdom of .allowing
the individual to go his own gait as
far as possible. Apparently he will
find a method of doing so anyway,
regardless of dictators or any other
trifling and temporary inconvenien-
ces. -London Free Press.
WASHINGTON GETS FROM
UNDER
The views of the public toward the
sit-down strike have just begun to
crystalize : in the 'United States. If
the General Motors. tie -up -'did not
make clear the dangers of mass defi-
ance of law and authority, the spread
of the sit-down tactics to more than a
score of industrial, centres and the
belligerent attitude of the strikers
have. What was at first sympathetic
and good-natured tolerance has chang-
ed to disgust, annoyance and a grow-
ing sense of alarm. The people have
suddenly come to realize that Gov-
ernment by elected majority or by
mob -rule, and not hours and wages,
is the major issue.

High Commissioner to Speak April 1
The CBC program department announces that April 1 has been
definitely set for a'fifteen-minute broadcast talk by Hon. Vincent
1VIassey, Canadian High Commisisoner to London. The talk, which
will be heard over the national network at 8.45 p.m. EST and' which
will be brought to Canada by the trans-Atlantic Marconi beam sys-
tem, will be based on the coming Coronation. The High Commission-
er will deal with preparations that are being made to receive Cana-
dians who plan to be in London for the event. It is expected he also
will outline the plans that are being made for the housing and re-
cognition of citizens from this country.
Bowman en the "Continental Limited"
Bob Bowman has an exciting "Night Shift" assignment for Ap-
ril 1 at 9.30 p.m. On that date he will greet CBC rational network
listeners from the famous "Continental Limited" during its run from
Montreal to Ottawa. He plans to board the train at Montreal and
during the 112 -mile trip will describe the coaches, sleepers, baggage
car, and mail car. Present arrangements call for a, peek at things
from the driver's seat as the huge engine roars through the night
on its trans -Canada journey. There also will be interviews with pas-
sengers and train crew. Suggest you put an extra red dot on your
radio calendar for that night: Looks like real entertainment.
Something About Past Coronations.
The second in the series of special Coronation dramatizations be-
ing presented weekly over the national network of the CBC is sched-
uled for April 6 when Rupert Lucas will produce "Ancedotes of Past
Coronations." The play calls for special music and a large cast of
actors. These broadcasts which 'will run until May 11 have been
designed to cover the cavalcade of'.Kingship since early days in Bri-
tain, when men and manners created scenes vastly different from
the orderr of to -day, scenes which, however, included an appreciation
of th solemn covenant between a monarch and his people. Time will
be 8.30 p.m. EST.
Random Jottings ..
Pat Terry, of "I Cover the Waterfront" fame (CBC national net-
work, Fridays at 10.30 p.m. EST from Vancouver) will tell some more
interesting tales of risen and the sea on April 2. Pat, you will be
interested to learn, is a noted newspaperman and was for some years
a scribbler on Fleet Street with Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express.
Harriet M. Bali, CBC's "Guess What"'lady, tells us that she has
a bag full of surprises for her April 8 program at 7.30 pan. EST.
Miss Ball and Alexander Phare, her collaborator, have unearthed
some unusual facts.
In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love -but such is not the case with several members of the CBC staff
at Windsor. .Art. Holmes, for instance, is anxiously awaiting for
old King Sol to turn on a few more kilowatts and warm up the De-
troit River Peter Aylen, CRCW stationmanager, is feeling the
urge to mount a fiery steed: and gaily canter along the bridle paths.
Dick Glums is persistently fingering his tennis racquet and golf
clubs, determined to trim some of the Windsor musicians at one game
or another this summer.... Max Gilbert is' living in hopes of a new
car. In the meantime he is tirelessly studying road maps for an ex-
tended vacation.

ington by a group of civic leaders
led by Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell, Pre-
sident Emeritus of Harvard Univer-
sty. Protesting the rapid spread of
"armed insurrection," it described the
situation as, the most vital issue in
the public mind, and demanded the ef-
fective action which would, end sum-
marily the mockery of government,
and which should have been taken
weeks ago.
There is slight chance of any such
action. Having abandoned the ag-
gressive tactics by which Secretary
of Labor Perkins muddled the nego-
tiations in the General Motors strike,
the Administration has retreated be-
hind a "hands-off" policy. On Sat-
urday President Roosevelt pushed a-
side any attempt to thrust responsi-
bility on his doorstep. Emerging
from a' White House conference, Sen-
ate Leader Robinson fortified the
hands-off policy with a declaration
that action could come only inin-
stances where Federal laws are viol-
ated and where State authorities, un-
der. Federal law, ask assistance in
the preservation of law and order.
The conclusion, therefore, is that
the State Governors are on their own
in settling a situation which, if she
did not encourage, Secetary Perkins
diel much to aggravate, It means that
Governor Murphy of Michigan, if he
is to enforce the law, must accept
the responsibility of the aggressor in
what could be nothing less than a
revolution. Settling the strike does
not solve his problem. A peaceful
truce cannot efface the fact that a
small majority successfully ignored
the law, defied authority and held
a Government under its heel until it
was satisfied to let it up. There is
nothing in Europe more undemocratic
than that. -Globe and Mail.

greater value to every user.
DUST
Dust may be defined as a finely
divided form of homogeneous or het-
erogeneous solid substances; but what
is frequently overlooked is that only
a small portion of dust is ever seen.
This, of course, makes its classifica-
tion difficult; still it is a fact that
all materials, in greater or lesser de-
gree, form dusts. It is equally a fact
that certain of these dusts are injur-
ious to the health.
A particle of dust of about 11500 of
an inch may be regarded as the di-
viding line between visible and invis-
ible particles of dust. The dust that
can be seen is the least important part
of the dust -cloud or "staubosphere"
that surrounds us, but, in general, it
is the only part of which we take no-
tice and make complaints. So-called
"very clear" air in a city may con-
tain many' million particles per cubic
foot, and most people would call visi-
bility, under such conditions, good
and believe no dust to be present.
The usual unitfor indicating dust
particle size is the micron, which is
one -thousandth part of a millimetre,
or 1125000 of an inch. Among indus-
trial dust, particles of a size capable
of being inhaled are generally less
than ten microns, or 12500 of an
inch.
Where a cloud of dust can be seen,
fine particles will undoubtedly be pre-
sent; but, where due to the nature of
the process, dust is likely to be pro-
duced and yet cannot be seen by the
ordinary light, fine particles may
still be 'present and constitute i haz-
ard to
az-ard'to health. Particles of thin size
settle out of the atmosphere very
slowly so that a dust -cloud created
by a workman in shovelling of sand
will spread through the shop and pol-
lute the atmosphere for hours.
According to the Report . of the
Special Barley Committee, develop-
ments of the past few years suggest
the wisdom of providing encourage -1
ment in the use of barley as live-)
stock feed at or near its origin of
production, and of improving the
qualityand exerting efforts towards
levelling out the annual variation of
yield. Barley production has varied
during' the past five years by above
70,000,000' bushels.
Live stock shippers will be inter-
ested to learn that the Railway Asso-
ciation of Canada has notified that
it will furnish partitions for stock
cars at any point in Canada at a
charge of fifty cents per gate per
trip, when the shippers make re-
quest for them. 1

Canada will be fittingly represent-
ed at Glasgow in 1938 at the largest
Empire Exhibition to be held in
Great Britain since Wembley (1924-
25) where the Canadian Pavilion was
one of the outstanding features. Be-
cause .the attendance at the Iast
great exhibition in Glasgow in 1901
totalled 11,000,000 visitors, it is ex-
pected that, with the infinitely better
transportation facilities: of today, ait
attendance of several million more
at the 1938 Exhibitiont will not be an
unreasonable expectation,
