putting out its annual report for 193839 the dominion textile com pony has done a smart thing with the report is an explanation of whafcli it is about something to tell the oati dinary man what a lot of technical terms and financial jargon in the re port really mean there s the term accounts becelv able that of course is perfectly clear to a chartered accountant and even to a business man but it is by no means clear to the average man to the man who although he may not be in bo has an interest in a big national firm like dominion textiles accordingly the company explains tbat accounts receivable means money owed by customers it adds that a following line accounts r ceivable less reserve means that the company is holding part of its profits back it isn t optimistic enough to believe it explains that all its cus tomers will pay their bills so it is al lowing for losses that all a re serve means allowing for losses the company explains further that something must be held back for se curl ties and raw cotton and deprecia tlon all to provide against disaster should things go wrong to see that the mills are kept running fixed assets the company ex plains that these are simply the tools its employes make use of in manufac turing cotton yarn and cloth they have to be uptodate and first class tools or the company wouldnt be able to make yams and fabrics that the customers will buy hence fixed as sets repesent a lot of money it fc explained that no single person has enough money to pay for au these tools all this machinery that it takes thousands of people to put it up most of them living in canada they are the real owners of the company also s th put up money too but these donl own the company they only lent money and can t boss it unless they dont get the rent for their moneys use finally the management some times holds out part of the money or profits that it might otherwise pay the shareholders and uses it to buy more materials thats what is known as earned surplus merely sharehol ders money put back into the business to help it meet competition liabilities they simply mean debts what is owing for taxes always considerable in the case of a large concern what may be owing for plant and material recentyl purchased what would be owing for wages during the tune the balance sheet was being made up so all through the piece actuady annual reports and balance sheets are simple thlngsh- the people- who make them up would onlybo it in a simple way instead they confuse and devil them with a lot or technical terms and phrases that only a few understated with the result that the majority are confused and sometimes become suspicious they think and say that all these terms and technical words are used deliberately to confuse i hat the firms have something to con oeal to cover up in these days big industrial and financial organisations are of public concern they are a part of the whole of the national economy touch the public interest here there and every v here orten are in receipt of govern ment assistance in the circumstan ces it is their duty and they would be wise to tell the public about their business in an understandable

mrs webber s dance it was filled with fine old furniture and boasted wide rooms which had been recently floored with polished oak celia looked lovely in a simple pink dress that none but her aunt knew bore a paris label the rooms were filled some good jazz musicians gave their best and in the middle of the evening young wyatt walked in and smiled at celia so you re really back was all she said and with a real job he replied meaningly as they glided out on the floor gosh she can dance all right said violet powdering her uncome ly nose i 11 say she can but she has no une responded mildred batt

to many forms of wild bfe which are sold as souvenirs at their sessions neither are many of the flveandtencent stores to towns and cities which ply a profitable souvenir trade with tourists fair to small wod life souvenirs one hot august day i wandered id ly through a tencent store in detroit the scene could easily have been duplicated in any number of dune- stores or carnival shows in any num ber of american cities hearing ex cited cprtfafr squeals of laughter i was attracted to a counter where two matl c and a man presumably th youngsters father were laughing neartoy at the amblings of a smab turtle trying to crawl through a mesh oh baddy cried the darkeyed boy aren t they pretty buy me one me too chimed hi his pig tailed sister what on earth would you kids do with a couple of turtles asked their father play with them promptly replied the boy now poking a speculative fin ger- at another small turtle in the shallow trough of water no firmly replied this inteuigem dad yotr can have some other toy but not a live turtle and anyway eyeing the halfdead tortoises specu latively they look almost gone to me and about gone they truly were these tiny little creatures with their delicate shells painted with pin roses and violets announced in yellow letters on their backs that they were souven ira of detroit to the stores customers but they told a sad tale hi their half dead manner to discerning eyes of any interested scientist or wild life lover meant for the cool woods and waters they were instead captive in a hot store handled by hundreds of cur lous people perhaps cruelest of all they had not been properly fed or car ed for talked later with a woman who is an authority on turtles she has trapped hundreds for scientific and research purposes but ha never i led one she said there is no law i know of which prevents stores from selling thes helpless turtles but there should be some educative measures which would at least compel store managers to properly house the wild life creatures in their care she told me that some turtles are at home on land and on water as well they need meat like fresh hambur egr or fish inthelr diet as well as sea vegetation the prepared food put up in boxes and sometimes sold at the same counter with the luckless turtle is not a completely balanced diet she said some die of starvation others of thirst thirst i asked surprised the poor things cant drink that water she exclaimed in disgust its yes we both agreed it win be a nappy day when stores and fairs who ply a trade in small painted turtles chameleons and other n forms of wild life souvenir can educate the general public in proptjcarmg for the pete they sell by setting them a htnfng e orace v sharrttt in our dumb animals once more merchants hi saskatch ewan ore filling

pessimists croaked that the sofl of the southern and cen tral prairies was worn out that the days of even normal crops were over this summer these same prairies are a solid mass of heavy green thy pro- i mlse a bumper yield of well over 400 million bushels it was the lack wheat rather than the low price which prolonged the great depression hi the three prairie provinces if a farmer has no crop

job and dont stand too far back written uu telling mena hearts of the hearts of man centuries dead every parent takes snapshots of the children and would like to take better ones its not difficult to take a good child pic- lure and there s no subject more appealing bat most of these pic tures can be made still better if at tentlon is paid to a few common easilycorrected faults tne commonest faults are lack of story interest wrong choice of background or setting subject too tar from camera and movement which blurs the picture almost any child snapshot will be better if it tells a story simply give the child something to do dress a doll draw a picture fix a toy wagon wheel blow soap babbles such activity adds interest to the picture and also makes picture tak ing more interesting for the child give a small baby a rattle or bright- colored object to play with it will rouse ills interest sod rou will get livelier more expressive pictures be careful in choosing back grounds look beyond the subject- your camera lens will avoid a back ground that has a definite obtrusive pattern such ss the side of a clap- boarded house tad try for goodj trsst with thevsvfiiject for example if the child is wearing ughtoolorad clothes s dark hedge may make a good background a hilltop with the child against s sky background is also good examine the child snapshots you have taken if the subject appears too small in moat of them you re taking pictures at too great a dis tance see if you can t get closer it s easy with a focusing camera or an inexpensive box or folding type that has a two- point focus setting a portrait attachment is also useful for closeups at three and onehalf feet or even a bit nearer you need not fear cutting off part ot your sub ject provided you locate the subject accurately in the view finder and then do not move the camera when making the exposure h orem en t either of camera or subject blurs the picture take care to hold the camera still at the moment you snap the shutter and with a box camera pick a time when the subject u not moving rapidly if you have a finer camera use a shutter speed of 1100 second or faster with a correspondingly larger lent
