etearget that home is a treasured place
to those on active service and those
from distant places are eager to learn
whether• wea do things like their folks.
'So do invite them to your home if you
can.
How about an afternoon buffet.,
luncheon? For late risers—and that's

So with hearts for eehope and red
for colour, see`' how you can contrive
a festive effect without expense. At
one end of the table stack the plates,
arranging the silver in rows on each:
side of them; put your tray of cups.
and saucers at the other. end. Food
for the main course is placed near
the plates, and the dessert near the
dessert dishes at ono side- on the
, other side, butter -crisp rolls or Vita-
min B bread. Vhen it's time for food

SELECTING A SHUTTER SPEED
This fine "action" shot was made With 1/25 -second shutter speed.
CHOOSING a shutter speed for
picture making is always a prob-
lem if you are not well advanced
photographically. It is confusing be-
Cause there are a number of factors
to -be considered and related. How-
ever, It is not necessary for general
picture -making purposes to know
everything about the subject. A few
commonsense rules will suffice.
As a starter, if you've been hav-
ing trouble with your exposures, I'd
suggest that you get yourself a ten-
ceot pocket exposure guide. With
this calculator you can not only de-
termine instantly what shutter speed
to use with a required lens aper=
ture, but the proper lens aperture

standing still, or other motionless
subjects. This speed is not fast
enough to stop even moderately
rapid action, but you can always
pose - your subjects in active posi-
tions= -as in our illustration—and
get the effect of an action picture
anyway.
Use the 1/50 speed for picturing
subjects which represent moderately
fast action. For instance, people
walking, crowd scenes, and subjects
from which some slight movement
might be expected during the ex-
posure. .
For pictures including really rapid
action use a shutter speed of 1/100
second or faster. This can be used
for close-up pictures of people doing
moderately active things, or picture's
of children or pets: However, don't
try to stop Blase -up action in very
fast moving subjects with this shut-
ter speed, if yen vdant to picture

AusWars to the six ,mein, .points Of
the ra!tiioning as it applies to the Ceaa-
edam rural $epllleelots are figti exi by
the Wartime Priees and TZ4de Beard
as follow$:
(1) All, batter 1produaers should
have registered 'with the loen), ration-
ing board before January 31st, whe-
ther butter is madel on . the farm to
be spld or not.
(2) The local ration` board should
receive enough of the brown coupons,
from one to nine, ,. to cover the
amounts of butter on hand according
to the number of people in the house-
hold.
(3) When these coupons are turn-
ed in, they should be accompanied by
a statement as to the amount of but-
ter on hand. The new rate of con-
sumption per person is one pound for
every three weeks, "
(4) If, butter is made and sold to
customers; coupons must be collected
from the customers to cover their
purchases it the proper rate.
(5) If butter is made and traded in
at a neighborhood store, or sold to
the storekeeper for cash, the proper
amount of coupons 'or the proper doc-
uments to cover these purchases must
be collected from the storekeeper.
"(6) The coupons collected from the
storekeeper, together with the cou-
pons from the - household must be
turned in to the local ration board at
the end of each month.
Hereis one very, important point
to be remembered: If butter' is made
cn the farm, the butter coupons' from
the family's rations books cannot be
used to buy butter anywhere else,
Household needs must be supplied
from the butter made on the ,farm.•
have to be' brought in 'by ships, or to
use -the -most concejitrated food with
the maximum nutrition value. -
That is why powdered eggs -are so
valuable, for it is said that 80 tons
of dried eggs are equal in •food value
to 2,100 tons of foodstuff for hens.
The margarine is now so reinforc-
ed. with vitamins that its nutritive va-
lue is equal to that'of butter, •and it
is very difficult to tell froth butter.
At one hotel, we suspected by the
quantity 'served that it was margarine
instead of butter, and on enquiry
found we were right. We probably
often were served margarine without
knowing it.
Hotel meals are limited to three
courses fed , the price ceiling is five
s'h'illings, but in some cases service
charges are allowed. At our London-
hotel,
ondonhotel, the price of the dinner was five
shillings, but 'the service charge was
sevep shillings and sixpence, ande. a
charge for the orchestra Was two
shillings and sixpence, bringing the
cost of the meal up to fifteen earn-
ings. However, these service charges
are also under regulation.
While Britain's diet has • changed,
and many items of food are difficult
or impossible to obtain, British peo-'
ple have sufficient wholesome food, !
ttualks to Lord Woolton. It is no won-'
der that everybody admires the job
he is doing.
