Phone 70x Brussels, Ont• Help Canada Conserve Vital War Materials To co-operate in System of Post card Meter Reading Oat -seta's, rural consumersof elec- tricity are going to thelp Canada conserve vital war anaterials, by reading their own aneters three times a year, and mailing the read- ings on slpectal post-paid card's to Hydro offices in the various rural Power distracts. Announcement of this helpful wartime co-operation on the part of these cousufens has been, made by The Hydro -Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario. This action, it is painted out, will mean that Hydro •meter readers will, in future, only have to record one instead of four readings over a period of twelve months in order to /maintain the policy of rendering rural accounts event' three months. Highly Successful At the same time, the Comrntsison has just taken delivery of a fleet of eighty bicycles Which will replace the trucks formerly used by rural anter readans. As a result, this co-operative con- servation plan will effect an esti- mated yearly saving of 300,000 miles of truek operation and 20,000 gal- lons of gasoline. Developed in Guelph nine years ago, the post card system of meter reading, It is revealed, hate proved highly successful in dietriots in which it •has been operated. With this experience, it is expected, thiat rte adoption in all Ontario rural (nettle's will find ready acceptance because of its convenience and elm- -pliant'. IImder this system, each rural r ,",:i, mer receivesa card which is no.stpaid and bears the address of the district Hydro office. The card Is so designed that the readings on either the clock or •eycloaneter type meters, can be quickly recorded by the consumer, along 'with the' date an eelc i he took the reading. While the Comanalsion has pur- chased the bicycles to Save truck tires and gasoline, these wheels are to. be used in accordance with a plan w-htclr. will assuee the maximum mileage from their tires and: the coverage of rural temritories in the minimum of time. In addition, to his retard book, each meter reader will carry a compact travelling kit strap- ped bo the crossbar of his, cycle so that be can. remain overnight at the point where he finished his day's work. Readings and reports, will be mailed to the Hydro office and the meter reader will continue his trip without having to return to the office.

EVERYONE likes flowers, and every flower will make a lik- able snapshot. Remember that and you won't lack for picture subjects from now until late fall arrives again. But at the same time here's something to remember: Flower photography, although it is a very satisfying and pleasant hobby, re- quires patience and a good deal of practice. You've got to experiment if you expect to excel in your work. But, !believe me, it's worth it. Here are a few tips that may help you along the way. First, make your snapshots ebose- ups just like ' out' illustration. Work as near to the subject as your camera permits, and if that doesn't bring you within two or three feet, slip a portrait attachment over the lens so that you'll get a bigger image on your negative, or plan to "crop" the picture during enlarge- ment, Then try to isolate Your subjoet. Don't lot contusing background de- tails distract the eye. A. perfect: background for almost any flower is the sky, but a big sheet of gray cardboard held behind the blossom will make a fine substitute if you can't get a low enough camera angle to use the sky as a backdrop. Next, watch the light, The most favorable illumination for flower Pictures 4s the early morning or late afternoon sun. You then get nice sidelighting which adds depth and form to your subject. Back- lighting, too, is sometimes highly effective, But In either case you'll get better quality snapshots if you use a simple reflector such as a piece of white cardboard, to brighten the shadow portions of your subject. .And use a filter to darken skies, step up contrasts, and give the closest possible rendering of color values in the black -and -white print. Panchromatic lihn, incidentally, is best for this kind of work. Finally, do your picture making on calm days when the wind won't shake the flower, or in the morning before the wind begins to blew, and you'll find that you'll have fewer technical problems to contend with and, yott'11 achieve better results. 387 /elm van Guilder siou' is aching the co-operation of rural cons'umera in paying bills promptly, By doing so, it is pointed out, they will eliminate the neces. elty for Hydro representatives hat.
