TELEPHONE TALK
HE WATSON FAMILY
Muriel'Watson
used to worry
about Bob's fre-
quent trips to the
"raw edges of civilization"—to mining towns and
construction camps where life was rough and
comforts few. Now he telephones her and the
children from each new location, cheering them,
and himself, in the process. 'After all",
he muses, "you're never out of civiliza-
tion as long as you have the telephone."
Reductions in telephone rates—local and long
distance — in 1935, '36 and '37 have effected
savings to telephone users in Ontario and
Quebec of nearly one million dollars yearly.

There's a. wheat shortage. in

there will be no general conflagra-
tion On that war-torn continent this
year. There are also idlcations
that there will be lots of wheat on
the prailres this year, and probably
western Canada will be once more
the granary of the world. That
means higher prices for wheat on
the Prairies, more work for rai:w'ay-

But that dotes not mend that we
are able to handle all the neiv:a of
the week on the last two days'. It
takes a week to set the paper, .t
take our Linotype, busily going, alt
week to set the paper. Events that
happen on Friday and Saturday
should be in the printer's honda the
same or following day. We are us-
ually crowded with material the last
two days,
When it comes to the last, the
hot news has to reneive first atten-
tion and the news reports by press
ecre:ariee and correspondents
whittle were sent in several days
alter the events -happened, neces-
sarily go t0 the waste basket,
We would say to the press zecrc
torics of various church societies
and service clubs; that if they wish
to see their copy Ste the paper, thee
Mould send it in promptly and give
the printers a chance. Such co-oper-
ation is good all round and helps to
avoid misunderstanding. Thank
You!

CilleSNAPSPOT CUJI
"CANDID" BABY PICTURES
No camere consclousness in this young maestro! Any parent will treasure
an album of expressive snaps such as this one.
HAVE you ever thought Of taking
a series of "candid" or "oft-
guard" pictures of the baby in his
lighter or more active moments,
and saving them in a special album
eutitled "We sinew IIim When"?
Any parent who owns a camera
can build up a splendid collection of
pictures such as this, and, if your
baby is like most babies, the same
pose or expression will never pep lip
twice.
'A. small baby Is probably fila
World's ideal subject for "offemard"
pictures, because he is altogether
lacking in camera consciousness.
Once 110 learns that you won't lel
111111 chew tho corners off the in-
teresting black gadget, or pall the
shiny piece of glass out of 1110 front,
he dismisses the matter and Pro-
ceeds to more important things.
Thereafter, you cart Shoot away 00
your heart's content,
You don't nood a high-speed mini-
ature camera to take ''candid" pic-
tures of this sort. A speedy lens 18
helpful, because then you can use
higher shutter speeds and catch the
yomlgeter when he le trying hes skill
at somersaults or endeavoring to
smash his rattle to pieces and see
what makes it work. But a box cam-
era will do the work pretty well if
you are careful to watch for ntomene
tory pauses in the action. Even the
most industrious baby comes to a
brief halt nolo and theft.
During the winter months, most of
your "off -guard" baby pictures will
be token indoors, and many of them
at night. Amateur photo bulbs sup-
ply enough light fee the night enap-
shots, and your filet dealer will havo
booklets or leaflets showing how to
arrange them, With lights arranged
properly, t110 night 811ap8 are almost
as simple as those outdoors in slut,

In shooting the off -guard baby
tures, watch for expressive gestures
and fieothtg expressions, and train
yourself to catch them instantly.
Snap tears as well as emiles, for
they will help you remember your
baby as he 18 now, And, whenever
you put a picture in your special al-
bum, write under it the day and
year when it was taken. That will
help make the book a day-hy-day
biography which grows 'In value as
