done, there is a much brighter day

NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE
A return brought down in the
(louse of Commons shows there have
been no fewer than 882 post office
dismissals 'since the Bennett govern-
inent took -office.` In 554 eases the
season given for dismissal was poli-
tical partisanship, : We don't sup-
pose this record is •much blacker, if
any, than uncles. the Liberal regime,
when for political partis-
anship
anship
were also quite frequent. The
dismissals are not so strange as' the
fact that over five hundred appoint-
ees did not know enough to stop pol-
itical activity when they knew what
the result would be,, : But then, pos-
sibly the Liberal postmasters didn't
think • a Conservative government
would ever be in office again, and
vice versa. -Hanover Post.
NO CREDIT TO CANADA .•
Verigin'is Doukhobor followers
have formally threatened to "break
all relations" if their leader has to
serve his term in jail' for assault.
Canada would do well to "break all
relations" with those Doukhobors
who support this dissolute leader, and
to send him and those who entour-
age him out, of the country. There
are many Doukhobors who should re-
main.
But there are among the three di-
visions in the clan those who burn
schools, refuse to send their children
to school and cause trouble and bring
their fellows into disrepute and ridi-
cule by nude parades. Incurable in
their faneticisms, they are no credit
to the Canadian' West, where they
make their homes,—Northern News.

NOT GAINING PRESTIGE
The Ontario Legislature is not
gaining prestige, or upholding its
best traditions, by the manner in
which business is, being conducted
during the present session As far as
the two pasties are concerned, it is a
ease where the pot cannot consistent-
ly call the kettle black. It is hard to
see, for instance, what the Opposition
hoped to gain by its filibuster against
the bill repudiating the Quebec pow-
er contracts.. A - dignified pretest
would have reached the public. As
it was their arguments were lost in
the Niagara of words, and all the
papers reported was the quips and
gibes that were flung across the
floor of the House.

PASSION FOR TREE
DESTRUCTION
Looking at the splendid views of
English country scenery shown by
Melee Denholm at the United Church
Men's Association meeting on. Wed-
nesday, we were struck by the abun-
dance of treesin the English land-
scape. Hardly had the thought oc-
curred to us than Mr. Denholm drew
attention to the same fact as an out-
standing feature of England. "In
this country we are destroying our
trees as fast as we can," he said. "In
England such action would be un-
thinkable. It is hard to understand
the passion for tree destruction which
seems to characterize 50 manyof our
people in Canada.

We came across a farther who has
about one hundred fine' Maple trees
planted around his farm. The prey.
tom owner of this farm had done
nothing with these trees` apart from
enjoying their ,• leafy loveliness. This
present occupant decided to make use
of the trees this spring. However,
the expense of providing pans or
evaporator was excessive. The cost
of fuel for the evaporating was high
and the farmer hesitated to try map-
le syrup snaking. At last he made

MORE REGIMENTATION
Unmindful of the fact that one of
the indictments against the late
Conservative Administration was a
tendency to centralization of gov-
ernment at Queen's Park, the De-
partment of Welfare of the new Gov-
ernment has launched, in connection
with the work of Children's Aid Sae-
ieties, a program of regulation and
standardization which is calculated
to alienate the sympathy of men and
women who have for years associated
themselves with this humanitarian
Work,
In Huron ,county, where children's
aid work has been carried on system-
atically for more than a quarter of a
century,, and where of recent years;
under the direction and supervision
of acommittee of voluntary workers,
along with a committee of the coup-
ty council, it had—so we all sup
posed= --.attained a high degree of effi-
ciency, the Department has seen fit
to denote the organization to class.

any complaint as to the care ,and

It might well be that methods fol-

but no, the `Department :says that
throughout the Province the :same
methods must be adopted. One
thing upon which stress is laid is
that children must not be retained hi
the Shelter but must' as soon as pos-
sible be placed in homes. The local
Society has been anxious to obtain
suitable homes for the children' in its

AT TEN YEARS OF AGE ALEXANDER CHUIIALDIN WROTE SUC-
CESSFUI.. ORCHESTRRATIONS, FOR SIXTY-FIVE PIECE RAND
For a ten-year old boy to write
successful orchestrations for a sirty-
five piece hand is no mean accom-
plishment, even for a man many
years his senior, but that is exactly
what Alexander Chuhaldin, conductor
of the internationally -known and CR,
BC national network program, "Mel-
odic Strings," did - while attending
military .school in his native Russia.
ALEXANDER OIiUHALDIN
Chuhaidin, who is favorably re-
ceived everywhere he appears, was
born in Smolensk, and was nine yeara
of age when he made his first con-
cert debut as a violinist. Ile was
acclaimed a prodigy, At ten he was
enrolled in a military school, and at
eleven he was conducting. In Moscow
he became the, student of Julius Con -
SUS, and in Vladiskavkas, at the age
of fourteen, he conducted his first
big symphony orchestra.
Alexander Chuhaidin, in addition
to being a famed musician, is like-
wise a soldier, in the Russian,
army, previous to the 'Revolution, he
saw active service. At the conclus-
ion of his military career he did
considerable travelling finally mim-
ing in Canada where he has since
made his home,
It inu:st have been an' interesting
sight to have seen Alexander Chu-
haldin when he stepped oti Canadian
soil and it is doublt£ul if any one per-
son has ever arrived in this country
equipped with more baggage than he
possessed at that time. There were
small trunks and big trunks, bags,
suitcases, and other paraphernalia
that must have made him look like a
one-man stock company.
But Chuhaldin came equipped with
more than baggage. He brought with
him a rich musical background, a
repertory of more than four hundred
pieces, and his valuable Nicholas
Amati violin. He lacked, however, a
command of the English language.
• Realizing that it would be much to
his favour if he were able to speak
English fluently, Chuhaldin studied
assiduously and to -day he not only
speaks but writes his adopted 'lan-
guage as well, perhaps, ars many of
his Canadian friends,
The Canadian Radio Commission
ever in search of 'accomplished musi-
cians, saw in Alexander Chuhaldin a
brilliant entertainer and immediately
obtained his services, In due course
he made his first Commission broad-
cast and promptly stormed his way
into the hearts of people on both
sides of the border, so definitely, in
fact that there are now but few viol-
in virtuosos whose popularity is of
greater proportions.
As a musician, Alexander Chu-
haldin is temperamental and emo-
tional and to him the soft, sweet
ter, where they are under the care
of a capable and sympathetic matron,
Can attend school conveniently, and
generally have a much (better oppor-
tunity of growing up into contented
and useful manhood and womanhood,
than in other conditions that can :
readily be imagined.
Other regulations of `the Depart-
ment call for a 'separate office for
the Children's Aid superintendent,
certain office equipment, and other
things which, while they would cast
money, would add little or nothing to
the efficiency of the work. The De.
partment would disregard the ex-
perience of men and women who have
been engaged in children's aid work
for decades and demand arbitrarily
that the methods which they have
found to give good results besuper-
seded by those laid down by some-
body in the Department at Toronto
who evidently has the idea that no-
body outside the city can be anything
but incapable and "behind the times."
It was thought that such ideas would
be rooted out of Queen's Park by a
change of Government, but, like
twitch grass and other nuisances,
they are difficult of eradication,

One tiling that really adds to the
Interest in a landscape picture is
Clouds. Suppose we are taking such
a picture and use a film which re-
sponds only to ultraviolet, violet,
and blue light. We should not be
able to distinguish between the
clouds and sky if we give enough
exposure to show detail in the land-
scape. This is because the light from
the blue sky and the white elouds is.
very rich in light rays to which the
film
responds.
Although Clouds and blue sky are
both rich in ultra -violet, violet and
blue, there is a marked difference
between the two. The lights from
the clouds, being white, actually
contain, however, a lot of greenand
red light, while that from the blue
sky does not.
This then, suggests a way to eifec-
tively show clouds and sky in a
snapshot. We must use a flim which
will respond to green, or to green
and red light, and put over the lens
a filter which does not let through
the ultra -violet, violet and blue. The
green or green and red light from
the clouds will thus affect the film,
while practically no light from the
sky will get through to it, and in
the finished print, the clouds will
appear whiter than the sky..
Some film is sensitive to green
light only but super -sensitive pan-
ohromatio film will respond to bottn''.
green and red, light. All these dims
will, therefore, show up the clouds
against the sky It used with a yel-
low fitter.
From' time to time you have pert-
haps
erthaps heard of "filter factors", Here's
what it means. Since the filter cuts
out some of the light which would?
otherwise affectthe film, a longer -
exposure must be given. The amount.
by which the exposure must be in --
creased is known as the "factor" or"
the filter. It is noted by the number.
of times the exposure must be in --
creased when using a color filter..
as compared with the exposure with- •
out one.
The deeper the yellow color ir@:
the filter the more violet and blue
it removes, or "holds back". Thee
greater the "factor" the more the;,,
exposure must be increased.
As you will no doubt surmise: -
there are varlous types of filters
and• each type has its limitations.
In choosing a filter you must makes
your own decision based on your:
general requirements.
If you do not want to seiiortsiy-
consider filter "factors" there is a,.
