But you'll never get that dog or cat or budgie or any other pet in the family album unless you plan it carefully, not just by snapping the shutter when you happen to be photograph- ing someone or something else. Pet shots are fun to make, but like any good picture, they take a little thought and plan- ning to insure happy results. Your pet should be the subject of a special snap -shooting ses- sion. Good pictures just don't hap- pen. And this applies especial- ly with pets who can't think or "pose" for themselves. There are two important things to remember. First, use patience. Get someone to help you keep your pet in position but don't have too many "helpers". And don't give him too many con- flicting orders. Secondly, re- ward your pet handsomely, dur- ing and after the picture -taking. Often a tidbit, offered during picture -taking, will bring up your pet's ears—and make his tail wag—lots better than any- thing else. If you have more than one animal in your household, try some experimenting before you take a picture of two or more pets together. When you do try a group picture, have their attention all focused on one spot, eating from the same bowl, laying in the same basket or going after the same ball. Choose your setting well in advance and arrange whatever props or lights you want to use before you bring your pet on the scene. Most pets aren't always patient and you'll get your best cooperation while the idea is still a novelty. Dogs get bored, too! Choose a plain background, one that will not take any at- tention away from the subject. You can use a piece of wall- board, a blanket or any plain background. One thing to remember is that animals and children are very much alike when it comes to photography. Some of the same tricks used in photograph- ing baby are effective with your pet. An alert and interest- ing nteresting expression can be induced by suddenly showing a favorite toy or by making an unfamiliar noise to attract attention. If you keep some of these points in mind, those pet pic- tures could be the most popular shots in the album. In addition to your individual pet shots, however, don't forget to take a number of shots of the pet or pets with various members of the family. Pets and people— old and young—go very well to- gether and will make an inter- esting addition to family snap- shot collections. Three -Quarters Of Cty. Budget For Highways GODERICH—Huron county Council has budgeted for $899,- 944 899;944 to be raised through general levy, an increase of about $16, 000 over that of last year, and some municipalities are going to pay more, The rate is the same at 14 mills, but cer- tain assessments are up. Muni- cipal clerks have received from the clerk -treasurer an un- official intimation as to their prospective levies. Of Huron's 1963 budget, a record $2,207,435, three- quarters is for highways. The highways total of $1,665,000 represents 75 cents of every dollar of 1963 expenditure. Of the remaining 25 cents, general government takes 4, welfare 5, protection of persons and pro- perty 3.9, debentures 3.4, hospital grant 2.2, health unit 2.1. The $1,663,000 for high- ways is by no means all county money. It includes $500, 000 for development roads, all re- coverable from the Province, and $632, 340 may be drawn in provincial subsidy on other work if the road program is complet- ed. This leaves only $514, - 254 to be provided by county council for roads. For general purposes, at six mills, $385, - 690 is to be raised, making a total of $899.944. Fashion Takes A Plunge Shirley, who writes "Of Cabbages and Kings" for the Delhi News'Record, describes her recent trip to the city. "1 was going to be fashion- able, 4 thought. "For after all, I was off to the Royal Alexander Theatre in Toronto and there isn't a wo- man alive who wouldn't strive to put on as much dog as she could possibly whistle up for this occasion. "I hope I did look slightly fashionable, too, at the onset of the trip. However, long be- fore I ever got near the theatre, a couple of mishaps occurred which blasted all my chic aspirations, "After the car was parked in the City Hall underground park- ing lot and we were gaily strid- ing along in the murky Toronto smog, I felt a peculiar little •twinge at the waistline, I frowned for a moment in con- cern over what it might mean. Not to have my spirits dampen- ed, I ruled out the possibility of it being my pants. So it was nothing to worry about. As we continued the brisk walk 1 felt something dragging on the back of my legs. Puzzlement again. It seemed to be the skirt of my Lansia white wool two-piecer, It was impossible! However, I loosened my coat to discover to my horror that the elastic had gone at the waist of the skirt and the skirt waistline was now about a yard and a half in circumfer- ence. Let's face it I haven't got that much stomach to hold that up. Before the skirt drop- ped to my ankles I hastily grabbed it and held on for dear life until we made our way to the nearest notion counter for safety pins. "Well, being held together by a couple of safety pins is enough to dash any woman's feeling of high fashion. The skirt from then on had a slippy, slidey feeling that kept me somewhat distracted. What's worse, I believe that row K at the Royal Alex. knew that the only thing that was holding me together was a couple of safety pins, For as I rose to allow people to pass by in row J, I had the uncomfortable reali- zation that the skirt slipped enough to allow top to separate from bottom and reveal those shiny diaper joiners -together. I didn't need to turn around to see the raised eyebrows and haughty disdain. "But the slippery skirt wasn't my only embarrassment. You had to see it to believe it, the condition of the Toronto streets. It was a mild misty day with a slight drizzle. The sidewalks and streets were covered with black slime and frequent India ink coloured pools of water in the ditches and crevices. It was impossible for any pedestrian to pursue his 1 -1-1444-144 Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, April 4, 1963 -- Page 3 FOR Easter A grand array of the most colourful Costume Jewellery to accent your EASTER E\SEM3LES Priced n from $1.00 and up HAFERM V 'S \\\w<vr' / PHONE. 357.2670 EWELLERY WINGHAM.

Most of us have learned to live with automation. We even take orders from machines, like walking when the sign says "walk", and waiting patiently when the "don't walk" instruc- tion flashes on. But for some people, the machine age apparently is just too much. Take the experi - ence of a lady in Memphis, Tenn. A man there says he witness- ed this scene on an automatic elevator at a hospital. A woman got on the eleva- tor and said, "Let's see, I want room 1126." She then proceeded to push buttons 11, 2, and 6.
