The: British Commonwealth ,. Air
Training Plan was offiCially approved
by the raenaber'nationS on December
1939, after weeks of intricate plan-
aaing and organization work. Canada's
'huge area, its outstanding record in
•the air during the last war, the na-
tural aptitude of young Canadians for
flying, and our proximity to the large
source of supply in the United States,
resulted in Canada being selected for
the major role of the scheme.
That Canada has discharged this
responsibility ia acknowledged in all
:quarters. However, Canada's part in
the training plan did not end with
management of training schools. She
Was expected to provide her ffill share
.of young men to train for*fiying du-

Empire countries. This also she has

This is the atory—told very. briefly
—that the Canadian public bas a
right to know? The time bas come
to state the case frankly and direct-
ly to the businestaMen of -Canada.
Heretofore, there -has been a iendenty
on the part of employers in many cas,:.
es to categorize young -men as key
employees, sometimes after , only a
short period of training .on the Joh,
frequeutly even where the employees
expressed a desire to enlist for fly-
ing duties.
In view of the existing situation.
now facing the R.O.A.F. this is NOT
right. It is wrong. There Is no job
as important in Catiada today as the
job of, training for aircrew duty in
the R.C.A.F. Every. young man with
a desire to fight in the air MUST be
given an opportunity to do so. The
Air Force now strongly appeals to all
employers in all industries, to seek
ways and means of replacing their
employees who are of aircrew age and
fitness, particularly those who desire
to train for flying duties, so that they
may feel free to enlist. It is urged
that no potential pilot, airgunner, air-
bomber,orwireless operator beheld
away from his 'most important duty.
No young man is • nearly as essential
at this phase of the war to any in-
dustry as he is to the Air Porce.Sbrat
method must be found to clear the
way for him to enlist and he should
be encouraged to do so. This is the
most earnestappeal for the • public's
Understanding and co-operation that
can be made at this time.

LEARNING FROM PICTURES
• 32
•
Every picture can teach a photographer something. This one points up
-the-use of a dark background, backlighting, and a reflector to brighten
, the shadows.
.1iXTHET a striking picture catches
VY your .eye, it's always a good.
,ddea to ask yourself, "How was that
...dpicture made? How did the photog-
otapher achieve his effect?",
Surprisingly, a great deal can be
pearned by doing just that Yoall
4ise.over-if you try it—that in no
time at all you'll be picking up
many useful tips on eompoeition,
angle of View, lighting, and other
subjects. And yOU'll find that what
you learn will give you ideas that
areheadily applicable to your own
,picture taking.
t-`
•
For instance, take a look at our
• V1luetration for this week. It's not
a particularly outstanding photcP;
:.-graph, and yet there are at least
ihree points in this snapshot alone
Which could e applied to your work.
First, there's the trick Of using
a, dark background few an outdoor
anapshot How, was it achieved?
Well, the photographer simply posed
,hie- subjects before the shadow side
of a high hedge.
'Second, note the Use of strong
'backlighting or thirrdfij
shot. By standing so that the sun
Was shining to*ard the camera—
rather than coming from behind the
camera—the photographer knew that
his subjects would be strongly out%
lined with light. Of course, he had
to shade the lens of the camera so
that the direct rays of the sun did
not enter and fog the film, imit'obvt-
ously the result was worth the extra
effort. .
And finally, observe the brilliancy
of the faces—the lack of heavy
shadows.. This indicates that, the
cameraman used a large piece of
white cardboard, or some other re-
flector, to catch the Tight and
-brighten the shadows. It's a simple.
trick, but likemany other photo-
graphic stunts it certainly pays
dividends in satisfaction.
Yo a can apply -any of these meth-
ods to your own picture making.
Try some the next time you take
pictures of yoar-family—and study
every picture, you see. -You'll find
that time spent that way will be
very profitable in the long run.

Looks at Ottawa
(By Jim Greenblat).
Recent diplomatic changes occurred
in Ottawa with the arrival of Ray
Atherton, the new United States min-
ister' to Canada, and the first Swedish
minister to this country, Per Wilk -
man. They presented their creden-
tials to the Governor-General shortly
after arrival. Mr. Athertqn, who got
here on a Sunday, entailed, the las'
leg of his journey from 'Montreal by
car so as net to' disturb tifiletale with.
the necessity of- a formal reception
at the train. He will :be -a opiflar
minister here. - At hii .1114I'Vi'ess con-
ference he went over big, with news-
men bY telling them to give him "the
`highball" When they met him on the
street and, he failed to recognize
them. The white stone, *square -faced
United States legation with Old Glory

Shortage in fruit crops.Expected
higher prices a e responsible for the
ceiling to be tjed on pears, peach-
es and 'plums w en they hit the mar-
ket. Stocks of canned fruits and veg-
etables, with exceptions like jams and
jellies; were frozen, on the national
shelf just for the same reason house-
wife leaves her cellar stock alone
while taking advantage of the fresh
stuff available. Cold and wet wea-
ther early this year killed off a lot of
peach trees in eastern Canada; late
spring hurt strawberry and raspber-
ry crops. Blueberries were heavy but
faced a labor shortage; cherries were
poor. The Canadian total for apples
will likely be down, with a 23 per
cent. increase over last year in Nova
Scotia, but reductions from 2 to 29
per cent. are expected in New Bruns-
wick and British Columbia; about
400,000 barrels Jess. The pear crop
looks like 250,000 barrels less; prunes
and plums- only slightly off. Peaches
show a drop of around 67 per cent.,
affecting both B.C. and Ontario crops.
Grapes are expected to be 22 per cent.
below 194:2's record harvest, but the
current estimate is nearly a third
more than the five year average from
1936 to 1940. Plans are being made,
we are told, to see that some of the
crops are canned.

Some people are irked with the

another angle. Because of our low
tea ration and relatively high cone,

tion is up 15 per cent. over pre-war
normal wthil tea is down by a half:

Wandering, around services infor-
mation offices you pick up interesting
items. For instance a Wren, the first
day "aboard ship" has a talk with a
trained beauty specialist about her
hair, etc. Incidentally, she pays
about a third of civilian prices, for
shampoo and wave; all of. which goes
back into the funfor "ship" beauty
parlour equipment. The girls do look
well groomed and smart.
* * *
Food seems to have been in the
spotlight around Ottawa—with many
announcements concerning an item
which takes, about a third of every
fatally Income The war has put a
big strain on our country's productive
capacities. This is shown by figures
that food production ls now more than
25 per cent. above pre-war levbit. Rog,
marketingS,Are uP 61) Per cent., cheese
50 per cent. • Feed grain acreage shot
up 25' per cent. to meet live Stock .and
dairy products increases. That meansi
our- producers have -to work harder:
and be ingenious. The department of
labour statistics ihow a net deereas-e:
in male farm workers during the per-
iod March, 1939, to *March, 1943, of
350,090. At the latter date ,male fent-,
ily help only averaged 121- workers
per 100 fartis.
*
Pay increases recently announced,
tie up with' the strong campaign rad-
iating from Ottawa all over Canada to
induce more web:fen, to take -their
places in- the services and release men
for active duties. There are some
31,775 women now enlisted, but they
say they need 65,000 more. In other
fields women are needed. High pri-
ority plants will 'be surveyed to 'in-
crease employment of ,women; even
looking for an increase in balf-day
work by housewives.
As the strain on- our manpower in-
creases, a shortage of aircrew is also
noted by the Royal Canadian Air
Force, accentuated by the steady aer-
ial ,pounding given , Germany. A Po-
tential and growing pool, of course,
organized in most centres of Canada
is the Air Cadet League, With so'me
22,000 lads from 15 to 18 enthusiasti-
cally girding themselves'toplay their.
part some day: Organized in 1941, al-
ready over 1,455 of these lads have
joitied the R.C.A.P. - But theimmed-
iate need for aircrew is urgent.
One of the lady officials in the
Consumer section, talking about the
