"The General Telephone company of Illinois is now in the process of establishing division managers throughout the company's six divisions," was announced today by Burton W. Saunders, president. J "Last November the Illinois Central Telephone company, with tWenty-nine exchanges, the largest being Clinton, and the Illinois Telephone company, with fortytwo exchanges, the largest being Bloomington, became part of the general system. The officers of the General Telephone company I wh0 remain of Illinois are now operating the j High employment in the cities Some 500 agricultufal economists met recently for three days to discuss "Agriculture, in Economic Growth and Stability." Some notes from their discussions follow. These statements reflect various individual viewpoints, and not necessarily majority opinions. The increase or growth in the production, of goods and services in the United States has averaged about 3% percent per year for eighty years. Population increases at a rate of about lVa per cent a year, and production per person about 2 per cent a year. # „ The rate of economic growth is not steady but is rapid during bj^om periods and stops during severe depressions. We cannot reasonably expect government to prevent swings in business activity, but it should keep them under control. Sharp recession still might follow excessive speculation, while inflation would result from overstrong pressures for wage increases, full employment and farm price support. The future will be what we make it. Large storage stocks are not the major cause of unsatisfactory farm incomes and eliminating thesp stocks would not make farmers generally satisfied with their incomes. Returns on money invested in farming seem to be about the same as on other conservative investments, but returns for farm labor are often much lower than for non-farm labor. Very commonly too many farmers are trying to make a job and a living from too few acres. Acreage allotments tend to raise land prices, but they also tend ^to reduce the amount a farmer can earn« by> his own work on a given farm. Farmers are spmetlmes "pushed off" the farm, but it is better to pull some of them off by attractive non-farm job opportunities. This benefits both those who leave the farm and those V I C V ^ , Thursday, September 27, 1956| Achieving the proper distance between subject and camera helped to make ibia an excellent picture. Not Too Near, Not Too Far Forty Years Ago . From issue of Sept. 28, 1916 An all-day celebration is being planned by Rev. M. J.

Stratton's 1956 road program were awarded at Springfield last week by the state Division of Highways. did not prevent a sharp drop in farm income, but farm income would decline much more if ser-" ious employment were to develop. Variety and quality considered, a typical family buys half again as much food now as it did before World War II. Consumers •spent 23 per cent of their incomes for food before the war. They now pay 25 per cent for food, but they can buy the prewar kinds and amounts for only 16 per cent of their incomes. Political strategy seems to oe much better developed than economic policies and programs. That is; farmers are effective in securing legislation, but the results of this legislation generally fall far short of farmers' expectations. ONE of the most confmon faults in picture taking is the failure to pay enough attention to the distance between camera and subject. This can especially be a problem with simple non-adjustable cameras, for many peopje disregard the fact that they're not designed for taking really close pictures. You should not attempt to shoot anything less than five or six feet away with such cameras, if you want an nage that is sharp <and clear. To avoid this, know the limitations of your camera in regard to iistance. The operating manual vhich came with it will tell you -- r your photo dealer can help in elling you the minimum distance ior your particular camera. If you wish to get nearer with a imple camera, a close-up attachment is the answer. Inexpensive, ?asy to slip over the lens, it enibles you to get close to the sublet. The simple close-up attachnent will enable you to take pic- Lures at 3% feet from the subject - and there are few instances that you would ever want to getnearef. Since not many of us aire.^^cu-w rate at guessing distance, it's wise" to measure it This can easily be done by cutting a piece of string the correct length, and attaching one end to the camera with a piece of tape. Your subject should be the distance to the other end of the string. Of course, you should also avoid taking pictures from too far away, thereby losing your subject. The whole purpose of a picture is lost, if the main reason you took it is not sufficiently predominant* If you're snapping a child, for instance, don't get so far away, that in the resulting shot he appears dwarfed by his surroundings, and insignificant. He's the important thing in the picture, so get near enough to make him so. This is a fault which is more likely to show up in outdoor pictures just because of the space in which you operate. So, remember that taking pictures at the right distance is very important -- not too far away so as to lose your subject -- or so near you get a fu2zy or blurred result. Don't forget your prime objective is to get a good picture of your subject. , --John Van Guilder It Pays to Advertise in The McHenry Plaindbalei Twenty^five Years Ago From issue of Sept. 24, 1931 A miniature cyclone swept over Griswold Lake Sunday, damaging property and endangering lives.
