Thus we know that the play bopk lists the re- Suired properties right along with :ie cast of characters and the |ynopsis of the action. These properties are indeed essential to help ^ It 11 the story. " That's why props should deflfUtely be given consideration when ire pose people *or snapshots. IJTe're'all aware that story-telling snapshots are the ones we like iiest and the introduction of a fmple prop can easily add to the ipact of the picture. The picture above feature* a Haseball bat. Use of the bat in the picture of the three young people has several advantages. First of All, it provides a center of attention. It gives the subjects some- ""tihing to look at, something to do. The outdoor background suggests a picnic and the presence of the . bat carries the story that baseball ~ was one of the occasion's featured activities. Props are good for subjects of all ages. Babies and adults alike respond to them. I once heard a professional photographer of babies say that the prop you give them as a center of attention is a "natural anchor" because it tends to keep the small fry where you want them. With a baby it will* help keep the subject's interest at a high pitch long enough for you to snap a picture featuring a lively expression. With adults you use props, not to "anchor" them in one spot, but to relieve camera shyness and add to the naturalness of the pose. And, of, course, as I mentioned above to help tell the story ... to establish a reason for taking the particular subject at the particular time ... to help set the stage for the picture. Choose your props carefully, to be in keeping with the natural situation, and you'll find that they can dramatize your snapshot, add life, interest, and naturalness to yaur subject. Make them work for you. --John Van Guilder % STATE AWARDS >' ARE AVAILABLE TO V 'l SENIOR STUDENTS Seniors on the point of leaving high school who wish to teach aire urged by Illinois State Normal university officials to a«k about state awards to help them through college.

ILLINOIS PROGRAM BOOSTS STANDING AS TOURIST STATE The state of Illinois will undertake a program this spring to boost its 1953 standing as the twelfth most popular tourist state in the nation. The new step -- promoting IUinois as a "vacatlonland" -- will be instituted soon by the 'Division of Department Reports, the state's publicity agency. According to Carl G. Hodges, division superintendent, the program is "an extension" of Gov. William G. Stratton's desire to publicize Illinois as a state rich in history and scenic fceauty. The first step in this dual direction was the adoption of the slogan "Land of Lincoln" on the state's 1954 license tags, Hodges said. Since Goyenjor St:atton assumed office, the Division of Reports has reissued a four color pictorial map, prepared a 30-page booklet entitled "Illinois -- Land of Lincoln," a ad assisted in the production of a 32-minute color and sound film with the same title. Hodges said the state this spring will make a concentrated effort to attract tourists to Illinois from states adjacent to its borders. This year the Division of Department Reports will launch an advertising campaign in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nebraska and Tennessee in an effort to attract tourists from the nearby states Inquiries from these states will be answered with pamphlets and maps as well as mimeographed lists of overnight accommodations in al." areas of the "tate, Hodges said. In compiling the lists of hotels, motels and trailer camps in the state, Hodges requested the cooperation of all Illinois operators. He urged them to forward the following pertinent information regarding such establishments to the Division of Department Reports in Springfield: 1. The name and address of the establishment (includes highway designations for motels and trailer camps). 2. The number of units in the establishment (rooms, cabins, etc.) 3. The price range (minimum and maximum overnight rates). 4. Special features (air conditioning, coffee sihops, restaurants, etc.).

McHenry, m. lisps « FAMOUS SALVATION ARMY BAND GIVES CHICAGO CONCERT Spring Blossom Tarts for the tea tray seem like chef's creations, but the tart shells are made with pastry mix and the filling consists of only two ingredients, semi-sweet chocolate morsels and evaporated milk. A bit of whipped cream and a morsel of semi-sweet chocolate complete the tarts in simplest style. Semi-sweet chocolate has a lighter, more delicate flavor that is perfect for spring desserts, and this chocolate is convenient to use whether whole or melted. Semi-sweet chocolate is most familiar to America in the famous Chocolate Crunch Cookies in which the morsels of chocolate stay whole during baking. But theidelicious flavor is good in recipes that require melted chocolate, and semi«yn pf^Qhocoiate morsels are efficient to use when a recipe requires melted chocolate since they are in small pieces that simplify the melting process.
