POTATOES PROVIDE ENERGY
Hello Homemakersi Rivalry con-
tinues bc.•weeu New Brunswick and
Ontario as to which grows the best
potatoes. There is •much talk of soil,
stun:'-; . ,.'t 'lave you! But
food whatever province they grew
in.
Using potatoes often on your
budget menus is a practice based
on sound reasoning. The fact is
you get a lot for your money when
you eat a 1'ctato. Ian see, the
potato has much of what the body
needs to keep it going — sagers,
proteins, calcium, phosphorus, Iron
and some of the vitamins — it's a
potent list. So let's be thankful for
potatoes.
English people now serve potato
Cakes instead of cookies. Again we
take a hint from the stalwart
British, and suggest new ways to
serve potatoes. There are so many
potato dishes you could have a dif-
ferent one every day of the year.
And to save time and electricity, we
recommend cocking enough pota-
toes for more than one meal and
varying the method et serving.

PICTURING PICNICS
An apple for the teacher? Perhaps—but in any event a grand shot of a
picnic. Concentrate on action studies if you want to make this type
of .plctu re.
\0 SUMMER is complete with -
1 out its share of picnics, and a
picnic isn't a real success without
some snapshots. So today let's see
how we can make better snapshots
•.o highlight those occasions.
Suppose we take "action," that
Is—people doing things --as the
keynote of our project. Action pic-
tures pack three tunes the punch,
and are always far more interest-
ing than the old-fashioned type 0f
"still" picture in which everyone
stood smiling at the camera.
If you ooncent'ate on action, you
can, for instanee, get a picture of
dad giving an exhibition of the
"boarding house reach" as he
stretches for another sandwich.
You might, in another case, catch
the youngest member of the family
peering oautiously from behind a
tree to see if the %oast is clear as
he plays "hide -and -Seek." -
Ta malts a completely rounded
story of year Photographic efforts,
approach the subject just as a good
news photographer might 12 he
were out on a feature assignment.
Start with a shot showing the folks
putting the lunch basket into the
car. If a stop is made 0n the way to
the picnic to buy more provisions
shoot that. And be sure to get a gen-
eral view of the scene, so that when
other people see your pictures they
will have au idea of the locale.
After that, of course, you can pho-
tographically follow whatever hap-
pens. Try to catch the folks infor-
mally --as in our illustration—while
they're preparing the meal, eating,
playing games, or even just sitting
around talking. Don't' encourage Peo-
ple to look at the camera—unless
you particularly want such a shot.
Tell them to look at what they are
doing, or have them lock at each
other, and you'll get the best results.
Finalise take lots of snapshots.
Every shot ntay not turn out as you
expeoted, but that way yon'lI be
oertaift t0 get many good ones,

THIS year will be a difficult one for your friend, the Duro Dealer.
He is not able to supply the demand for Dtiro Pumps because
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 Plumps 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'conclition.
Remember that your Duro Pump brings water, under pressure,
right into your kitchen, bathroom, -latun-
dry and barns. It saves many steps, much
time and energy. Deep it in 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
Estill available to inect your requirements.
