How often we had heard that, and each time resolved to do something about it . . . because there’s nothing that a fond parent likes to do better than to hand out pictures of the family pride and joy, Each time we were in the village the task of buying a film for the old box comera was forgotten. Like ev­ erything else, the job was finally com­ pleted, and so; on a fine, sunny July day the Phil Osifer household, in­ cluding Patricia Ann, yours truly and the hired man, was told that this was the ideal day to* take the pictrue of the baby. Indeed it looked the part! Patricia Ann beaming with happiness and dis­ playing new found ringlets of gold in her bair, that I vow the rainy sum­ men !btc>iight on, seemed to approve the ifleak She submitted to the ordeal of having a general wash-up . »■ . shoes and stockings . . a new dress The Provincial Police of the Province of Ontario, acting under the direction of the Attorney-General, are co-operating with and advising'municipalities now organizing or having organized Volunteer Civil Guards. There is now an urgent need for arms with which to equip such guards under proper supervision and direction. Therefore, this appeal is being made to the citizens of Ontario asking that they loan for the use of the Volunteer Civil Guards any available rifles and 12 gauge shotguns, together with ammunition, for the purpose of protecting the lives, property and homes of our people. Such donations will be gratefully received, officially acknowledged and a proper record kept. Arms may be deposited at the headquarters of the X Volunteer Civil Guard, Parliament . Buildings, Toronto, or with any Ontario Provincial Police Officer throughout the 4 Province. > ' ■ -v* A'“/' Any further information may be obtained by addressing communications to the Parliament Buildings, Toronto, or consulting with the nearest Provincial Police Officer.

CONANT ‘ Attorney-General N-640 . . and even the comb being drawn through her hair, without any great amount of protest Where will we take the pictures? The hired mtn said the front lawn . . . Mrs. Phil said on the back ver­ andah-where the sun was good . . . and I maintained that just inside the door would be the best place because the breeze wouldn’t ruffle her hair. Meanwhile, the important star of our picture-making enterprise had been stroking the dust on the screen door ledge in the back veranda and had donned several streaks of dust on her face in a way that a Comanche Ind­ ian would approve for battle dress. That meant another washu.pl In the meantime, the hired man had been custodian of the camera, and durnig the lengthy harangue about where it should be focussed, had acci­ dentally (so he'said) snapped the-cam­ era, taking a perfect rear view of my patched trouser seat as I stooped to smooth a place on the grass where Patricia Ann could be placed for a sitting. Finally we settled o-ur differences ofopinion agreeing that the side ver­ andah would be an excellent place. The baby was placed in position and I got set with the camera. All was ready to go . . . and then a bug started flying around her. Baby promptly flopped back and started kicking at the bug with two dimpled feet. That difficulty was just settled and then the dog marched into the view of the camera . . turned around and settled right down .in front of the baby. Clutching for. the dog, she top­ pled 'Over and in the course of her ac­ tion bumped her nose and promptly boo-hooed. All operations were called off while Mrs. Phil took her in hand to soothe her ruffled feelings. When the tears dried up and a smile appeared again, We all determined to get those pic­ tures at once. Mrs; Phil stayed close to the baby . . . the hired man pick­ ed up a stick ready to ward off any interference by man or beast . . . .. and I got the camera set. Fine . . . baby’s smiling .... Click it now . . , and then the shut­ ter locked. It wouldn’t budge and baby was smiling at a great rate. Smiles were wasted on the summery scene . » because I couldn’t make the camera work. Fussing, and fuming the hired man and I worked and tugged and sweated and^phtfdred . , •'« and finally admitted that we might be able to make a broken binder work . . , but cameras were too difficult. With that peculiar ability women have of showing men up, Mrs. Phil picked up the camera . . fiddled with a little spring gadget and said, “It’s working now, so you two muddlers just go along about your work. I’ll take these pictures myself.” Protest­ ing that it was too big a job for her alone, we ambled back to work. Today the mailman brought back the printed pictures from the roll. Patricia Ann smiling on the porch . . waving her hand . . . displaying a four-tooth smile . . . lolling in the luxury of her bath pan . . . and man once more has to admit his defeat to the superior “luck” of a woman . . a‘nd to add to my embarassment, the: hired man’s picture turned out fin& and presents an excellent close-up of- a pair of patched overalls. t EH Silver Dollar Nite at Merchants Weekly D raw $31.
