Clinton News -Record,
Dears Sirs: — Pleaso enclosed two,
dollars to renew our subscription for
1940.
Mr. Walters and I enjoy the paper,
so much, we read it through, even the
advts.—although we 'have been away.
so long we still craws a warm interest
in the old town. It is forty-two years
since Mr. Walters left mid thirty-two
for me. We keep in touch with a few
friends` and would love to lee the old
town again.
We wish you a Happy and Prosper-
ous Year. Trust you got out of those
snow drifts all right. We haven't had
snow in Seattle so far, but we may
have some. It was early in Feb. 1916
when we had our big snow. Some of
our street cars were :stalled a couple
weeks.
Sincerely,
Lillie Miller Walters.
The Editor, "News -Record",
Clinton, Ont.
Dear Sir: ,
May I briefly express my great
satisfaction with the excellent work
done by Rev. G. G. Burton and his
band of enthusiastic workers in bring-
ing.` the organization of the Clinton,
Red Cross Branch to its present
efficient state.
The territory covered .by this
Branch is the largest in the County
and the system of organization, I
should say, ideal—one strong central
body with nine separate units work-
ing through it, each maintaining its
own identity and responsible for its
own work. This is the gift given
to us by democracy.
congratulations, Clinton Red Cross
Branch!
Sincerely yours,
MAJOR E. H. A. WATSON

HURON COUNTY RICH
IN LAND AND
LIVESTOCK
85% OF LAND CLEARED
A National Government
Needed
(Globe & Mail)
It must be evident to any unpre-
judiced citizen that Canada cannot
do justice to the war effort if the
country is rent with politics. Even
Premier Hepburn seemed to sense
this when he proposed the abolition
of elections at the foot of the political
ladder for 1941; and possibly for the
War's duration.' The Globe and Mail
supported the principle, convinced
that the fewer the, unnecessary dis-
tractions, the better the chance for
concentrating on the one thing that
counts. The same principle applies
in condemning the malignant attack
in the Ontario Legislature on the
Government charged with manage-
ment of Canada's war, It is for this
reason, also, that we oppose a Fed-
eral olectian at this time. It is our
firm opinion that, instead of creating
political dissension, steps should be
taken to unify the country's effort
with a National Government.
°Every man, Woman and child, in
Canada, living or unborn, Liberal,
Conservative or Independent, Muni-
cipal, Proviincial or Federal voter, has
a stake in this war, is taking the
same risk for weal or woe. 11 ft

Huron County has always been
termed a rich agricultural district,
but how many of us know just how
rich a part of Canada we live in?
In answering this question we are in-
debted to Mr. J. C. Shearer for stat-
istics which prove that we who live
in Huron should be proud of the fact)
that we live in one of the richesb:
parts of Canada.
Statistics for 1939 are not yet
available, Those for 1938 reveal an'
asessed acreage of 790,000, 85% of
which is cleared land, the balance ink
bush, swamp, etc. Field crops raised,
by Huron farmers were vialued at;
over six million dollars in 1938, while'
livestock was valued at eight million.'
Livestock according to the statistics
are 12,000 horses, 115,000 cattle, 24,-'
000 sheep and one and a quarter mild
limn domestic birds.
Hog production is one of the!
factors contributing to the mater!all

KNITS AT 91 WITHOUT SPECS
' Here's something that 'should make
the younger ladies sit up and take
notice.
Mrs. Nancy Gill, formerly of Ethel
and now residing with her son, Grover
C. Gill and Mrs. Gill at 566 Talbot
street, London will be 91 years of age
next month. But that doesn't prevent
her from doing her bit for the Red
Cross Society. She just completed a
soldier's scarf which entails quite a
good deal of knitting. And it took
only her a couple of days to do the
job.
The most amazing part of it all
'is the fact that Mrs. Gill doesn't wear
glasses. Her eyesight is splendid.
She takes care of all her own cor-
respondence, writing several letters a
week and is an ardent worker at every
type of sewing and mending.
FORBID WHEAT
SHIPMENT TO RUSSIA?
PROTESTS BRING RESULTS
In the face of reports that large
quantities of Canadian wheat were
about to be stripped to .Russia, the
government took power Tuesday
night to control by license export of
any article to neutral countries.
It was reported from Winnipeg a
week ago that some 1,250,000 bushels
for export to Russia had been purch-
ased on the grain exchange. News
of the transaction brought a storm
of protests front coast to coast, the
deal being labelled a dig in the back
of Canadian soldiers since it was
practically certain some of it would
reach Germany.

APICTURES
IDC SIMPLER _.__ ..
The simple subject -matter and plain background lend appeal to this child
study. Strive for simplicity in your pictures.
SIMPLICITY is an outstanding fea-
ture of most good pictures. And'
an excess of detail—especially con-
fused detail—is seen in most pic-
tures that are not up to par.
Mark Twain once wrote: "As to
the adjective; when in doubt, strike
It out." That is a good rule for tine
camera user. When your'e in doubt
about including some detail or omit-
ting it—do the latter. St's a safer
course.
Nearly every picture includes a
plain subject which should be shown
clearly. If the background is full of
detail, it draws attention away from
the main subject. Details in subject
and background may even seem to
run together, so that there is no
clear separation. Thus, the picture
is spoiled.
It is easy to prevent this. Often,
a change of camera position will
change the whole background. In
indoor shots, the background can
often be cleared by moving one or
two objects —sltch as a standing'
lamp or wall picture. Things ;such
as this should be eliminated, unless
they are proper and essential parts
of the picture.
Strongly patterned backgrounds
are to be avoided—especially in pic-
tures of a person. 'Use a plain tone—
s light-colored wall, for example, as
in the attractive shot of the child at
the typewriter, above. For brunette
subjects, pick a light -toned back-
ground; for blonde subjects, either
dark or light will clo.
If you have a focusing camera with
fast lens, background pattern can
be diffused and subdued in many
cases. Simply move the subject as
far from the background as is prac-
tical, and use a large lens opening.
The background will then be out of
focus and loss obtrusive.
In selecting subject -matter for a
picture, include only those things
which are needed to tele the story.
The more details you include, the
more complex the picture becomes
—and simplicity may be lost.
Of course, in many eases you can-
not simplify the subject -matter or
obtain an ideal background. Then
take the subject as 1t is, rather than
miss a good opportunity. But, wben-
ever possible, aim for a simple ar-
rangement and appropriate setting.
Such effort leads to finer pictures.
