VERTISEMENTS
ARE A GUILE TO VALUE
•
• Experts can roughly estimate the value of a product
by looking at it. More accurately, by handling anld ex-
amining it. Its appearance, its texture, the "feel" and.
the balance of it all means something to their trained -
eyes and 'fingers.
• But no one person' can be an expert on steel, brass,
wood, leather, foodstufs,fabrics, and all of the materials
that make up a list of personal purchases. And even ex-
perts are fooled, sometimes, by concealed flaws and im-
perfections.
• There is a surer index of value than the senses of
-sight and touch ... knowledge of the maker's name and
for what it stands. Here is the most certain method, ex-
cept -that of actual use, for judging the,. value of any manu-
factured goods. Here is the only guarantee against care-
less workmanship, or the use of shoddy materials..
• This is one important reason why it pays to read ad-
vertisements and to buy advertised goods. The, product
that is advertised is worthy of your confidence.

READING•, ENP..—Wha;t a rush I
arta living in, to be sure! Every eve=
ning-,spent on the Allotment, feverish-
ly, hoeing and watering and planting.
The Gardening Partner is on the sick
list just now, -so the weeds have de -
c ded to Put in a bit of .overtime. Be-
sides, lie 'has • planted some myeter.
ious rows of I -don't -know -what, 'great-
ly to my bewilderment, However, I
:isten to gardening talks on the radio
and ,,try to pick up some useful ti'pe.
Beyond that I can only hope for the
be: t Happily, one can, mess about
in daylight quite late now, and i.. can
work •till bedtime, which is a help.
The Allotment is my larder and there
can't • be any nonsense about it.
For all that, three nights ago I man-
aged to squeeze in some fine enter-
tainment. I went off with my doctor
friend and his wife to an amateur dra-
matic show given in aid of a 'war
charity—and a rattling good show it
was too. I am the most critical crea-
ture alive where acting is concerned,
but I enjoyed every minute of the eve-
ning. I sat in the seats of the mighty
with the M.O. and the Mayor, but
such august company did nothing to
subdue my howls of laughter at the
funny bits,'
Afterwards I had a talk with the
producer, a de`ightful woman. She
told me that all those people' are en-
gaged on strenuous war -work or in
the Services, with very limited time
for rehearsals. In spite of that they,
managed to put in a great deal of
thwghtful and clever work, and there
wasn't a dud amongst them. The lead-
ing man is a local hank manager—
and bank managers, believe me, are
having no easy lifejust now. That
man played as ably as any profes-
sional actor.I have ever seen. They
have a repertoire of five plays and
nothing is, too much trouble. Grand
folk.
Bombed the Portrait
Our- Mayor, too, is the right man
in the right place: hard-working and
apparently tireless. Some time ago
he gave me some sittings for his por-
trait—busy as he it; but there was
sad news for me. No sooner was the
portrait finished than the Hun blew
a hale clean through it! "And after
1' had it expensively /framed too!" l ;
mented His Worship. Well, .. well;
well! We can't have that. There will
have .to be another portrait one of
these days, when he can find some
more time.
And talking of sketches, candid
friends tell me that, some fine day, I
shall certainly be arrested as a para-
chutist. Mx,. working outfit is the trou-
ble, it seems; and there's no doubt
that I must look a very queer object,
pedalling along on the trusty "Grace"
and just coming over the . brow of a
hill, Any strange policeman or Home
Guard might be pardoned for ,making
a little 'mistake.
Items: One old suit with bulging
pockets; 1 pair ancient' rubber knee -
boots; 1 waterproof rolled and fast-
ened to the••saddie; 1 eyeshade; 1 en-
ormous pack laden with materials,
among which is a home-made .one -leg-
ged easel which, sticking straight up
at the back; persists in looking like
a rifle with a cork on the end.
So almost anything might happen
to me. All the same,. I have been
able to get a good bit done in my
spare time, and, a couple of results
are to be raffled today at local shows.
Bananas At $400
These raffles are a splendid idea,
and sometimes they bring 'in really
'good money. I am told that, at a
dance the other night, an auction was
held in aid of hospital funds, with
wonderful results. A bunch of ban-
anas fetebed four hundred dollars,
and three lemons were knocked down
for seventy-five dollars each.
The story is- probably true, for L
was at a dance—and there were no
wealthy people present, I fancy—
where six eggs fetched over twenty
dollars. As I have, said before, peo-
ple who have some money to spend
are glad to find something to spend it
on.
Ordinary shopping, even when it is
possible, isn't much fun'Inow. We are
in the middle bf a slight dust-up—as
you'll have heard by now—concern-
ing the matterof tipping in the shops
for there are still people• who want
to get the pickings if they can. Feel-
ing is pretty strong about it, and no
wonder. But; taking it all round,
things are fair enough. As the G.P.,
radiating phi•llsophy from a sick -bed
so aptly remarked: "There can't be
much wrong for everybody's grumb-
ling." -Whenbegged to explain- this
cryptic utterance he added: "Well, if
one section of the community didn't
contpiain we should know that Some-
body was getting preferential treat-
ment!" 'Not bad\ for an invalid, was
it? And he's quite right, of bourse;
so long as we British are grizzling
in our comfortable way things are
fairly ship-shape.
Heaven Help Her
Nevertheless, 1 have just heard one
remarkable story concerning a cer-
tain rather lefty lady. I have met
her; she is not a'figure of iletion,'ev
en if yeti may iirl inelibed to think
-so. When asknri .to help` in t'lreq,loeal

among her neighbors, that's. all! Such
a time will. come some day, for It. al -
v: rya does, doesn't ft?
Every now and ,then one of these
peculiar Isolationists . bobs up to
stagger us. all. Our postmistress tells
me that she knows one; but our post-
mistress is .a straight, no-nonsense
kind sf body who can give- as good
as she gets any 'day. "Abd what has
the war done to you?" she replied,
leaning over the counter. "Your hus-
band is over age; you've got no phil-
dren mixed up in all this. Your home
is intact and you still go 'round, on
your own ;illy little affairs. You may
well decide to take no notice of the
war, t• must -say." You'd like our
'postmistress.
Yet these strange people, I am sure,
are not nearly so terrible as they
sound. My notion is that they are
just stupid, spiritually -timid folk who
have never allowed thelmselves to
face up to disagreeable facts. But
they aren't safer from thejr fears, no
matter what line they take. Fate
may catch them out yet. Living as
we do, here on our little Island, we
know—if we have any sense—that
it's a chance -y business; and only
fools pretend. The rest get on with
their jobs, look facts in the face
squarely and make good with. things
as they are. What else can a reas-
onable creature do?
Prisoner'of the Jags
My lovely friends whose brother
was 'missing' for so long after the
Singapore business has had news at
last. He -is a prisoner of war There
is a different light in her eyes now I
see; • but I fancy there was a bit of
mis-spelling in the report4•w)hich has
come through, for all her pals are
feverishly searching maps ands what
not for' the spot where he is said to
be It is a 'Mrs. 'Arris' of a place:
there's to such pusson.' Yet what
matter? She is •happy again, and
never mind about the spelling.
How beautiful it is' to be free of
the winter 'blackout! We all feel. the
better for the let-up. There is no
more potting and peeping about in
dimly-lit rooms, no more stumbling
bout in inky Toads. For all that, I
quite agree with our 'Brains Trust'
visitor who was dead • against flood-
lighting the countryside after the
war. I think it is merely that one
wants plenty of light in the right
places—not is kind of general glare.
One wants to be, able to open a door
and switch on the light, instead -.of
having to paw a way across a room
(which always seems to be littered
with' unexpected tables and animated•
hearth rugs!). in order to pull and pin
curtains .over the window. That
cheerful clay is coming; nobody can
doubt it now.
Straughan Reunion

Mr. and Mrs. George Straughan, for- .
merly of the 6th concession, Colborne
Township, met at Harbor Park Wed-
nesday afternoon, July 21st, for their

CeSNAPOT GUILD
MIRROR PICTURES
To make mirror pictures like this focus carefully, have your subject
9 stand close to the mirror, and .use a• small lens opening.
IN DAYS gone by the work , of
1 niagicians was often scornfully
dismissed with the comment that
"it's all done with mirrors." And
maybe -that was the case sometimes.
But today it's the photographer
rather than the magician who makes
good use of mirrors, and some of
eur most intriguing pictures owe
their existence to that fact.
There are two popular ways of
taking inirror pictures. How is it
done? .Well, it is really very easy,
but there's one thing you must watch
and that's proper focusing. Solve
that problem, and you'll find that
making suck pictures is. no :different
from any other type of indoor pic-
ture making. Miss it, and the whole
point of your picture will be lost.
The thing to remember is that
optically the image you see in the•
mirror isn't on the surface of the
glass at all. Rather, it's just a re-
flection of what is beyond the mir-
r-or,and you'll find that the correct
focusing distance—if you want .. to
get the image sharp and- clear—is
the total of the distance from the
camera lens to the mirror, plus the
distance from the mirror back to
the subject. That's one way.
If it is desired to include the sub-
ject
ubject itself in the picture ae well as
the reflected image, ..and . have . both.
sharp, the focus should be set tor
the distance from the mirror to the
lens. The smaller the lens opening
the greater the depth of field rad
the sharper will .be both. images..
Naturally, the nearer the subject So
to the. mirror,the less is required is
the matter of "depth."
In the picture above, the subject
were about two feet from the mir-
ror and the camera was six feet
from the mirror. As both subject
and reflected image were to be la-
eluded in the picture the focus was
set at six feet. Aperture.'vas set at
1/16.
You'll find that bq following regu-
lar indoor picture -making technique
it's -no trouble at all to eget pictureis
which are truly interesting and en..
