Will, who went cleSVAPSNOT GUILD WATCH THOSE SUADOWW/S Dark shadows in the face are usually a feature of snapshots of this type. A large white blotter, however, was used here to revert sunlight back into the shaded areas, avoiding harsh, contrasty lighting. QHADOWS in photography can sometimes be used to deliberate- ly improve a snapshot; other times they are troublesome. Probably you have taken outdoor portraits in sunlight in which you found ex- tremely dark shadows below the brim of a hat, the nose, or the eyes. These, of course; you want to avoid, and there are several 'simple meth- ods ethods to correct this fault. First, the use of reflectors, or some reflecting medium. These are quite easy to find; in fact, they may even be a natural part of a scene. For example, a snapshot of a person sitting- near the side of a white horse usually has soft trans- parent shadows so that you can easily see detail in the dark pore tions. Or a sheet of newspaper or large square of White blotter may be placed in such a .manner that the 'light is reverted into the dark areas, This added illumination in the shadows makes the range of brightness more uniform. with the result that "harsh" appearances are eliminated. 1f no reflector is available, then a good outdoor informal portrait can easily be made by having the subject turn away from the sun so. that the strong light' comes well from one side, or from behind. It's important with this type of lighting to time your exposure to record detail in the shadow side of the face. Another simple solution , is to place the subject where there is no bright sunlight—in the open shade —as on the shady side of a house under the open sky. In such a loca- tion, give about twice as much ex- posure as you would for the same typo of snapshot made in bright sunlight. Now for the other side of the question. It is not always advisable to soften shadows or avoid them. Long, interesting shadows are dis- tinctively a feature of early morn- ing or late afternoon scenics, and at these tunes their inclusion in a snapshot adds a quality of depth or third dimension. Always study the shadows before you shoot. If you are snapping an informal portrait and think the shadows may be distracting in the finished print, try to soften them. If they have a definite place in the composition and will improve your picture, by aid means ••he sure they aro included, 351 John van Guilder her of the medical corps, and Frank who taught for a thne, but is now home.

PAGE 3 STABILIZATION OF PRIG m;ES D WAGES Your Country asks your loyal support pport of this Wartime Measure TWO NEW CONTROLS have now become essential in Canada's wartime design for living. These are: (1) Coaifrol of Prices Commencing November 17, 1941, there may be no increase in the prices of goods and services generally unless absolutely necessary and authorized by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. (2) Control of `,'; ages No employer, with certain.limited excep- tions, may increase the basic wage rates paid to his employees unless authorized by a Board on which the Government, employers and employees are repre- sented. But after February 15, 1942, every employer with the same exceptions, will be obliged to pay a cost of living bonus and to adjust this bonus every three months. Action Necessary to Stop inflation This Government action has been taken to prevent the inflation we knew in the last war, and its subsequent depression, unemployment and suffering; Every housewife knows that prices are rising, and rising prices, unless controlled, will make it more costly and difficult to finance the war. Rising prices, unchecked, will spread confusion in industry and trade; will hinder production and proper distribution of sup- plies; will make the cost of living rise more rapidly than wages and salaries; will lessen the value of savings; will result in hardship for almost everyone, and especially those with small incomes. And the result of uncontrolled .inflation, after the war, when prices drop, will again be depression and unemployment. Prices cannot be controlled without control of wages. Excess profits are, and will con- tinue to be, under rigid control. Coverage of Wages Stabilization Order The Order is applicable to the following employers: 1—Every employer normally subject to the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act. 2—Every employer engaged in the manufac- ture df munitions of war, or war supplies, or the construction of defence projects. 3—Every building trades employer with ten or more employees. 4—Every other private employer with' fifty or more employees. The Order does not apply to employers in agriculture or fishing, or to hospitals, religi- ous, charitable or educational associations operated on a non-profit basis. Wage Previsions Except on written permission of the National War Labour Board, no employer may increase his basic wage rates. This permission can only be given in cases where the Board has found the wage rates to be low. Wage rates which are unduly highs will not have to be decreased, but in such cases the Board may order the employer to defer the cost of living bonus. Cost of k-,€lriig Bonus Every employer covered by the Order must pay to all his employees except those above the rank of foreman a wartime cost of living bonus. Effect; veNovemberl5,each employer already paying a bonus under PC 7440 of December 16, 1940, shall add to such bonus an amount based on the rise in the cost of living index for October 1941, above the index number used to determine the current amount of the bonus. Effective February 15, 1942, each employer who has not been paying a cost of living bonus must begin to pay a bonus based on the rise in the index between October, 1941, and Jaauary,1942,utiless ordered by the Board to base the bonus on the rise in the cost of living over a longer period. The bonus is calculated on the following basis: For each rise of one point in the cost of living the amount of the bonus shall. be 25 cents per week, except for male workers under 21 years of age and female workers, who, if employed at basic rates of less than $25.00 per week, shall receive a bonus of 1 percent of their basic wage rates. These bonuses will be adjusted regularly every three months. Administration The Order will be administered by five regional Boards under the direction of a National War Labour Board. Labour and employers will be represented on each of these Boards. Watch .for the announcement of these Boards to which inquiries concerning the application of the Order, should be directed. Whole..Hearlted Support Required Your Government knows that this policy, as it affects labour, industry, commerce, and agriculture, demands a degree of restriction to which Canadians are not accustomed, and is directly a wartime measure. It will demand self-discipline and self-control. It will need the whole -hearted support of everyone who has the well-being of his fellow citizens at heart. But by loyal co-operation, Canadians can have much more assurance that the fears, sense of insecurity, the suffering and profiteering which inflation always brings, will neither interfere now in the winning of this war, nor in the recovery and reconstruction of Canada and the Canadian way of living after the war is over.
