McQuesten, Ministert of High- ways, announced today that 1938 Mo- tor Vehicle Permits and Operator& Licenses will go on sale throughout the Province iinmediately. Agents in the larger centres are already sup- plied, and shipments of supplies are being made daily to the smallm points. The Highways Department is mak- ing 1938 Permits available at this time so that purchasers of new 1938 cars and trucks will not be obliged to pay for 1937 registration and so that the increasingly large number of au- tumn purchasers of used cars and trucks will not have to pay the usual transfer fee with only three months of the year remaining. • The advance sale of 1988 Permits is also designed to alleviate the usu- al last minute rush when 1937 Per- • mits expire at the end of the year. The new plates are of an exception- ally attractive design this year, with Crown and Orange figures on Blue background. There will be no letter, prefixes. The series letter will come in the second, third or fourth posi- tion between the numerals, and each plate will have only one series letter. BOTANICAL NOTES FOR SEPTEMBER' (Experimental Farms Note) The arrival of September and the advent of autumn will guggest the words of William Allinghanes au- tumnal sonnet: "Now autumn's fire burns slowly a- long the woods, And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt." Canada's autumn fire of gaily col- oured leaves is anticipated and enjoy- ed by all. From the middle of Sep- tember until the middle. of October the leaves of many species of trees and shrubs --91 change from green to most of the other colours, (in various shades) of the spectrum. The collection and preservation of leaves, especially those of the silver, sugar and red maples is becoming in - creasingly popular year by year, so Do You Remember What H appened During The Last THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE ST",- AD TU 1,t.s S I N CONO • • • MARG., DO YOU.

Per- haps you plan to repaint the house through the use of the Home Im- provement Plan and are determined to make the grounds more attractive. Have YOU ever thought of moving the garage? If this building is mov- ed to a more advantageous location you nlay have more room for plant- ing or lawn -space. And perhaps the not too attractive view of the neigh - !hour's back porch can be hidden and at the same time afford greater priv- acy in your own garden. The open doors of a garage with oil cans and dirty cloths sitting around scarcely make a pretty view from the dining room windows., If you have such a view, move the garage to the side and plant some bushes and aver - greens around it. . Which may he devised is infinite. , . • "--ee Not a bad picture, as a whole, but would not a viewpoint to include only the section marked in white have been better? - You Picture -blind? Do you have what it takes to nee a pic- ture? "None so blind as those who will not .see," says an old maxim, which, applied to picture taking, means none so blind as those who don't know how to see and will not learn. In this respect camera users are, of ' course, differently constituted. There • are those who are quite satisfied with snapping good record pictures, likenesses of their friends and rela- • tives, their pets, treasured objects arid the houses they live in. In many cases that seems to be as far as they can go in seeing pictures, because they lack the instinct for picking out artistic composition. in nature or recognizing picture elements in ha - man activities when they encounter them. Artistic sense and the feel for human interest, both are qualities with which some are endowed more generously than others. •Driving along a country road on a summer's day, picnic -bound, camera in the car, one person comes upon a • group, of men and women in a farm- yard. They are gathered about a shirt -sleeved man standing in a cart. The man is gesticulating and Point- ing to a mowing machine. Other farm • implements are about the • place. To the ieft of th8 group stands a lofty haystack, like a giant mash - room. To the right, a dilapidated old barn. A dog and some chickens are running about. Behind the scene fields stretch to a patch of woods and above big lovely clouds are drifting: "Only a farmer's emotion," lie says and wbiztes by. Bet the next fellow halts his car, snaps picture after picture of the .scene, close up and from a distance, making some shots with a -filter over the lens so as not to loge the clouds. For human in- terest, artistic :getting and universal appeal, he is proud to match these pictures of a country auction with the other fellow's picnic pictures, precious indeed though the latter may be as souvenirs of a good time and memory pictures of friends. For those who miss pictures the other fellow instinctively sees and are envious of his success, the so- lution is to learn, because it certain- ly can be done. Many have surprised themselves and achieved success by mentally framing sections of scenery vastehle,y, travel about and r askiig m theselves, "Will that maken- an i teresting picture?

And here is still an- other suggestion: Many amateurs take good pictures without knowing it.
