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.

ClieSNAPSI-IOT GUILD
FLOWER PHOTOGRAPHY
Close-ups pay dividends in flower photography, as this fine snapshot
of a water lily conclusively proves.
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.

THIS year will be a difficult one for your friend, the Duro Dealer.
He is not able to supply the demand for Duro Pumps.. becatise
present stocks are limited, and shortage of materials curtails produc-
tion. Besides, our factory facilities have been diverted to a great
extent to war production.
Your Duro Dealer may be able to supply a few Duro Pumps to
those whose farm production can be increased with running water
— but he will be mainly interested in servicing pumps now in use
to keep them in the best possible running condition.
Remember that your Duro Pump brings water, under pressure,
right into your kitchen, bathroom, laun-
dry and barns. It saves many steps, much
time and energy. Keep it 111 good condi-
tion by.having your Duro Dealer check it
over and replace worn parts. He will
gladly estimate the cost of putting it into
first class condition,
EMCO Quality Plumbing Fixtures are
'till available to meet your requirements.
