A Good Work Well Done St. John Ambulance Associa- tion Reports a Year. of Splendid Service Mast people have beard of the good wcuk undertaken and Perform- ed 'by the St. Jetts Ambulance Aseeoiation, but few know that the 'Ontario Branch of this admirable organsation, with. headquarters at Toronto is "A Foundation of the Grand Priory of the British. Realm of blue Venerable Order of the Hos- pital of St. John of Jerusalem"—an institution which finds its origin In. idre far -distant days of the First Crusade. When the Ontarlo 5t. Jogrn Aanh,ulance held its annual meeting Branch of the Asaoctittion ra-Inatiy, a remadkable record • of activity in the public weal was lis- 1 closed by its president, Col. the Hon, H. A. Bruce, M.D., M.P. No less than r^ 760. classes in First Aid and Home Nursing were .conducted in 170 'communities in 40 counties and dis- tricts• in the province of Ontario. As a result of the instruction given in these classes 19,238 certiltcates and higher awards were gained. an increase of 2,843 over the previous year. It would be •difficult to over- emphasize the value of .such an out- standing utstanding contribution tothe public wel.tere of Ontario, for a trained Fite Airier is taught to recognize ',chose cu,eeis, of accidents andillness in which he .can render effective assistance efficiently and promptly, im,proviising, where necesary, with auth matet'lai as may be at band. Naturally, his duties end ween medical attention Ibecolmes ,avail- able, but many indeed are the times when. doctors have testified to the splendid work performed by cer- tificate (holders of the St. John Ambulance Association fn dealing qkeNApl4T GUILD A PICTORIA,ROUTINE a;. If you want to consistently make snapshots as technically fine as this, establish a picture -making routine and follow It. WHEN most people get their first good camera, they Immediately expect something wonderful to hap- pen. They feel that ail their pic- ture -making troubles will drift away with the wind, and simul- taneously they expect their camera to start producing pictures like our illustration—perfectly exposed and composed, and replete with human interest. There's no doubt that the camera —any good camera—is capable of doing that. But there's one other factor which must also be con- sidered—that is, the mind behind the camera. A camera won't think for you. You're the one who has to do the thinking, and if you don't think things through you're likely to let your camera down. Basically that means you can't be careless about any aapect of picture making, and get good pic- tures. And for that reason I'd sug- geat that you establish a routine covering the most important steps in your picture making, and double check each step until you know them all by heart, Begin by asking yourself if you have selected a subject which is really interesting? Does It tell a story' In itself, or is the picture part of a longer story you are tell- ing with your camera? Have you got everything in the picture that you want, or are you taking in too much? Have you chosen a good angle of view? is your composition pictorially sound, like the picture above? When you're certain of those pointe, check up on your focus is it sharp? Measure the distance if you're in doubt. Then look to your shutter speed—is it fast enough to Stop any movement by your sub- ject? Are you giving a full normal exposure? Finally, are you releas- ing the ,shutter so gently that the camera will not be jarred as the picture is taken? Check your technique that way for just a little while, and you'll find that your picture quality will take a hop, skip, and jump—up- wards. 384 John van Guilder ANIM t Quickly removed in Clean Sanitary trucks. 72 BRUSSELS DISABLED DEAD or Phone collect.

Practically everyone Who has travailed the highways of Ontario has noticed the }Jdgihway First Aid Posts, sponsored jointly by the St John Ambulance Aasooiation., the Ontario Motor League, and the Ontario. Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society. These posts are continually Inspected and replete - killed by two patrol ambulances, under ,t;be direction o2 the St. John Anrhulance Association, which travel continually on the main high- ways 02 the province. It is a tilbute to the foresight and wis- dom of these who first conce'ved the idea of establishing such posts ,that, in the year just past, no. less than 930 cases of injury (68 of wIhl Ili were serious) were gi ven first aid treatment at these high- way posts and by the patrol am Milanese.

War Services Minister Thorson, 'told the house of Commons on Thursday that the government will "very soon" strart calling up single men al) to 35 years of age. The decision indicates the govern- ment is postponing the calling of married men ae long as possible. The age classes, now subject to 'alt are men born between 1912 and 1921. single or widowed without children. and the extension forecaelts will make men born between 1907 to 1921 subject to call.

C.P.R. Shopmen Give Gun For Freedom Canada's mounting share in the fight against the Axis was emphasized by Brigadier P. M. W. Harvey, V.C., Officer Com- manding Military District 13, when on Saturday afternoon, May 23rd, he received the 100th naval gun produced at the Canadian Pacific Beltway's Ogden Shops, at Calgary, as a gift from the muni- tions workers there to the nation, "Let us hope that it goes into action soon," he said, "on a Cana- dian ship, with Canadian gunners behind its sights." Although rate of production at Ogden ha not oreb revealed by prose of war ordnance came off the as- sembly line there some time ago. Paying all shop costa and cost of material on this particular gun, the employees presented it to the country in a simple but impres- sive ceremony marking, as one of the speakers said, a fine spirit of national and industrial solidarity. The gun ifself is an all-purpose naval weapgon, designed for use against sribmarines and surface craft, as well as sky raiders, throwing a shell of approximate- ly 12 pounds from its long barrel, In receiving the .gun from R. Alderman, representative of the shopmen, Brigadier Harvey rep- resented Hon. C. D. Howe, Min- ister of Munitions and Supply for Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company was represent- ed by W. A. Mather, vice-pres- ident of Western lines, who offi- cially received from the employees a cheque for shop costs on the gun, and by 10. B. Bowen, Chief of Motive Power, from Montreal. J. L. Gubbins, works manager, acted as chairman. The Guard of Honor was made up of war veterans among the shoptnen under Capt.McLennan.
