Bolger's drug store ipgNCWs 4cA"H)g~B This charming pictiire, entitled "Hide 'n' Seek," won first prize of £1,000 in the babies and children's class of the Newspaper National Snapshot Awards. It was taken by Mrs. Verne L. Simril, of Williamsville, New York. There May Be Fame and Fortune in Your Snapshots Next time you come across one of your snapshots you think is particularly good, take a second and third look at it. Perhaps it is one that other people would enjoy, too--enough so that someone might pay you prize money for it in a contest, or publish it in a magazine. This is really the contest season of the year. Interesting cash prizes are being offered in competitions sponsored by various organizations and companies pnd covering a wide variety of subjects. One of the largest of these contests is the Newspaper National Snapshot Awards, conducted in local areas all over the country by some of the leading metropolitan newspapers. Prize-winning pictures from each newspaper will compete next fall in national judging in Washington. Then, sometimes magazines like to publish pictures sent in by their readers and will give you a substantial check if your snapshot clicks. Just this spring, for example, REDBOOK Magazine introduced a new regular feature-- Reserve Mstrlct No. 7 REDBOOK'S Family Album--in which they will print each month the best picture sent in by a reader with the story behind the taking of the particular snapshot. In this instance, the primary subject must be ohe or more children under 12 years old. They pay $50 for each picture. What is the key to selecting suitable pictures for contests or other sale? Over-all appeal is the most important single factor. Certainly, it must be a sharp, clear picture. That's obvious. But, in addition, it must be one that will be interesting to people whether the subject is of personal interest or not. If you happen to be in a picturetaking situation that might offer good contest pictures, be sure to find out the names and addresses of people who may be recognizable in your picture. Signed releases from all identifiable sub" jects is a must if you expect to be rewarded with fame and fortune in a contest. --John Van Guilder State No. 70*1660 CARE TO SAMBA? Mention the word "samba" find while several people will immediately think of the popular South American dance, the thoughts of confirmed card players turn to one of the most exciting Canasta variations.. P e o p l e who • .play cards enthusiastically and often say Samba 1 is Canasta's '"sophisticated, grown- * up cousin." x A c t u a l l y t h e r e a r e some significant differences between the two games but these are easily mastered. The basic difference between the two games is that in Samba, unlike Canasta, sequence melds (or "Sambas") are legal and even earn a bonus of 1,500 points. A "sequence" is a meld of exactly seven cards in the same &Uit in order, such as king to seven. These sequence melds are actually canastas so, of course, they may be counted as one of the two canastas needed before you can go out in Samba. There is one minor point in Samba for the beginner to remember. In Samba no meld may have more than two wild cards while in Canast^ a meld may contain up to three wild cards. Also, in Samba you regularly draw two cards from the stock but discard only one. Another feature peculiar to Samba is that a player must always hold at least two matching cards to take the discard pile. In- Canasta, you'll remember, all that fs required to take the unfrozen discard pack is a combination of one matching card and one wild card. But the biggest differences between the two games is that Samba uses three decks of cards against Canasta's two, allows for higher scoring, and is generally a more exciting game due to its wider melding opportunities. Two players at Samba find that it does not tend to be so one-sided as two-hand Canasta and six players have discovered that the three packs gives everyone* more turns. If you have nevfer played Samba' and would like to learn thi£ exciting game, there's a small, six-page leaflet which explains it in detail and which may be obtained free of charge, by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Playing Cards, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17. N. Y. FARMS PROVIDE i MANY HAZARDS FOR PLATING CHILDREN It just seems natural for children to pick out dangerous places to play, says U of I extension safety specialist, O. L. Hogsett. They have little or no fear of inanimate thing3, and ^s a consequence. many are seriously hurt. There are naturally a good many child hazards around any farm, and on some farms there are many that are entirely unnecessary.
