Railroad fans, who mix photography with their love of trains, welcome
striking shots such as this.
HOBBYISTS' HOBBY
SEVERAL days ago my friend, the
Doc, was showing me his collec-
tion of negatives—almost 2,000 of
them—which he has made in a five-
year period.
Many of Doc's negatives are simi-
lar. Four out of every five of the
shots he's taken are pictures of
trains or railroad yards or signal
towers or stations. The point is that
Doc is a railroad fan first, a camera
fan second.
Doc, like a great many other hob-
byists, knows that photography can
complement almost any other pas-
time. "Why," he put it the other
day, "railroad fans swap pictures all
the time; a man in Revelstoke sends
me a shot of a mountain -type loco-
motive in action and I send him one
of The Northland".
So whether yon build model reel -
roads like Doc, are an avid bird
'watcher, still chase fire engines, or
devote your off hours largely to
your garden, try picturing your
hobby.
Today's shot, for example, is one
that Doc, or any railroad fan, might
like. It's good pictorially; it has
good composition. It was nl,ade, too,
with an exposure of 1/50 at 1/11—
an exposure roughly equivalent to
that of a simple box camera. No
faster exposure was necessary since
the photographer shot head-on as
the train slowly rounded a curve
after leaving a station and was just
gaining speed.
This is just one example, to be
sure, of how picture taking alts into
other hobbies. If you work with
wood, why not try picturing the
new table you are making, both In
the process of construction and in
its finished glory? Or if you're a
sports fan—sports pictures are
among the most interesting of all
shots.

VISIT TO CANADA HOUSE
At Canada House, tivhere the
affairs of the Dominion are han-
dled, we were received by Holt,
Norman Robertson the ,Canadian
High Commissioner, Later we went
to Ontario Reuse, Where Major
.7.:S. P. Armtsrong gave us an in-
intereetin.g talk about tee work for
the Province conducted there.

description; That 11 stands today is
a miracle, as practically all the
buildings around have 1:eett de-
molished. Even now some windows
are still boarded up because of the
glass shortage.
Our two days of sight•seeleg
gave urs many things to remember
about London — but perhaps the
meet important is bleat the people
there need fond: all the food we
MN send them,
Monday morning a private bis
took us 30 miles to Windsor to see
the Castle •and the King's farm. We
saw the greet walls and inner
building of the fortress; built in the
Middle Ages; we visited St.
George's Chapel, one of the most
beautiful in the world; and we were
shown the tombs of many British
monarchs.
After lunch we were taken around
one of the Royal farms by the
manager, a Mr. Ritchie, tt non
rains about 700 acres and is stocked
with some Jerseys and Scotch
Shorthorns, A large flock of sheep
were grazing on the hills.
This was• our that British farm
and rather •a special one. Since then
we have visibed quite a few others
and have formed ,sone opinions—
though you will understand they
have been made in a hurry.

On To Cambridge
On the Tuesday reaming we went
by bus to Cambridge, 00 miles from
London and were met by Mr, Vin-
cent, .an agricultural district officer.
(His position, corresponds to our
agricultural representative.1 He
took us around the Universite'', farm,
but the severe snowstorm limited
our inspection of everything except
the cattle in the sheds. They have

The cows were loose to large
