The burden of taxation has always been a subject for complaint, the. reason obviously being because taxes represent an outlay of income in which the individual has no direct choice. However, if we stopped to analyse. the matter we would discov- er that taxes buy some of our most valued services and pay for things we could not do without. What 'we do not like is that the other 'fellow is spending the money for us. Taxes have reached their present height because citizens have demand- ed more and better services' from their governments. Wie have needed better roads. There 'have 'been im- provements in our educational sys- tem and better care 'has been given unfortunate people. Ail these things cost money and no taxes have In. creased. Unfortunately'in times of stress still greater 'demands are made on 'government, both in pro- vince and ninnioipality, and eventual- ly some one will 'have to pay the bill. .Listowel Banner. • istered at the Itattenbury House.

JANUARY EDITION of CLINTON COLLEGIATE - BROADCASTER Editor: Reg. Cook. SUCCESS ,Success! Each of us desires it and it conies—the real kind-eonly to the wcrthy. What is success? It is to do what we can do well, to help others to make the world a 'better place and thru' it all to enjoy life and, to be happy. • No success worth having is won without effort. 'The resistance of the water against the prow is the chief difficulty that the steamship has to overcome, yet' if it were not for this same. resistance of the water against the blades o3 the propeller, the ship would not move at all. The same law, that our di'fficulti'es are the condi- tions of our success, hold true in hu- man life. A. life freed from ,difficul- ties would'be a life shorn of all pos- sibilities u£ power.

IIe must be preparedto open' and close each of the windows fifteen times each period not minding what' may be said about hihn. ' One position to 'be filled is that of an auctioneer to •hold weekly sales of the contents of the Upper.. School desk. The articles vary from wood- en bracelets andcelluloid frogs' to the mighty thoughts recorded in a Fir''st Former's diary. The next task is for a ,being who has in his possession a rope 25,000 miles' long. He roust stretch this tightly around the circumference of the world then add a yard to' the length of the rope and follow it a- round to see whether it now lies b 8-11 inches from that sphere all the way= around, A very necessary addition to the Upper School is a row of First Form- ers who are at sunrise to shoot at defaulters in Trig., the said default- ers being lined up against a- wall. However, those from the Trig. class present at the attempt made by those children at rifle practice say that, as yet there is no:cause for dire dis- tress. The last and probably the most urgent need is a caretaker who is willing to mind someone who is shut up in a barrel and has to be fed thru'' a bung -hole, mentioning no names.

CURRENT EVENTS Se convincing are the points con- demning moving pictures assembled by the hard-working Third Formers in The debate that Mr. Cooper has forbidden them to, attend the movies or the theatre.

' NOTES FROM UPPER SCHOOL Vie believe that the news 'Which we are about to impart will be of general interest for the chief reason that it deals with the doings of the Upper Schoolsstudents, famous throughout the school for, the out- standing ability and intelligence pot - brayed 'en all occasions. To further illustrate this we must hasten to ex- plain that at present they are seek- ing means of coping with one of the, greatest of present-day problems, namely the question of unemploy- nlent. The way these human genuises have approached this is quite amaz- ing; to be exact they have contrived or discovered several new tasks which require capable persons to maange them, thus giving work to idle hands. Among the most urgent require- ments is a creature having the pa- tience of Job, the tranquility of a • BOYS' SPORTS Last night 3A and 2nd Forms en- gaged in a great' game of hockey at the huge Clinton arena on Mary St. While thousands of cheering fans looked on the 3A team skated to vic- tory, iatory, the score being 5-4.

A fee of ten cents was charged for every player, except the goalie who was exempt because he didn't wear down semulch ice as the rest of the players. **i GIRLS' SPORTS Excitement ran high as 3A. girls had ,challenged 3B girls to a basket- ball game, the first of the season. 3A. had praetised faithfully night after night, but 31I being ever so much more important had turned its aclbilvitnes elsewhere.

ALETTER received the other day of expression, winter scenes are opened my eyes and made me realize that sometimes we take too flinch for granted A reader of this column wrote in saying she enjoyed the Snapshot Guild Immensely and would be so happy when winter was over and spring arrived so that she could take some good pictures again. Here I have been taking it for granted that everybody knew that with present day line' film it is pos- sible to take good pictures the year 'round—winter included. Well, if Mrs. thought she would have to wait 'til spring to take pic- tures doubtless there are hundreds more of the same belief. Believe it or not, picture taking in the winter is just as -easy as in summer, opportunities as numerous and scenes just as beautiful. There is one important thing, however, to keep in mind when tak- ing pictures in the winter—WATOH YOUR EXPOSURE! Many seem to think that because snow is white, exposures should ,be much shorter thanin summer. This would be true if there were nothing but snow in the picture and if'the-light were as strong in the winter as in the sum- mer. Neither condition exists, how. ever. Trees, Houses, buildings, ani- mals, etc.; retain their usual color, so exposures must be tinted accord- ingly. The old rule—expose for the shallows and let the highlights take care of themselves,—is still worth following. Although objects are brightened Somewhat by greater re- flection from the snow, this is fre- quently fully offset by the lesser intensity of the sunlight in the winter. Where snow is not smudged by soot it remains a glorious mantle of white, clothing familiar scenes in new guises and lending a peculiar charm to trivial objects that fail to tures. Go ahead and Shea.attract attention at other seasons. With photography as the medium JOHN VAN GUILDER.' more truthfully rehdered in black and white than summer scenes. Color Is absent for the most part in the former and the monochrome print conforms very closeiy to the predominating whites, grays and blacks of Mother Nature's winter dress. • Here is a suggestion that will help you get better results, that is. • if you follow it --When taking a picture make a note, of the "stop" you used, that is—the first or sec- ond, or third opening, it you have a box camera, or, if you have a fold- ing camera note f.8, f.11, 2.16 and so on, or just 4, 8,-18; and with, a folding camera also make note of the speed of the,shutter, that is, 1/25th- of.a second..1/50th or whatever it may have been. When prints are re- turned you can say to yourself---.- "This ourself-"This one is awfully light and does not show up as I expected. Let's see now -1 took this picture at noon at 1/50th of a second and had the dia- phragm set at 1.11, A little too fast to get the proper exposure under the hazy winter sky on that day. The next time under the same condi- tions, I'll either set the diaphragm pointer at f.8 to let in more light or else leave the diaphragm opening at 1.11 and set the shutter speed at 1/25th of a second so as to give the picture a longer exposure.' It's really valuable information to have and will' help improve the quality of your pictures. It might be a good idea to cut out the pictures printed above and keep them for future reference. They will help you In judging your own pictures if you are not quite sure just what is wrong with your prints. So—don't let winter stop you.
