But, the client says that's expensive too. In these instances, the photographer photographer usually ends up taking a showroom showroom shot. But it's not all that way, he said. A little creativity and a designer to help put together a photo will go a long way in making a point, he explained. explained. Take, for instance, a photo he took for the Seagram Museum which displays a multitude of corkscrews. corkscrews. It shows everything from a simple corkscrew attached to a fork handle to corkscrews with fancy horn handles to one that does double duty as a crimped cap opener. Each has its place in history. Berzins sees himself as a problem-solver. problem-solver. He said a good photographer photographer needs to be a jack of all trades. From the creative end of deciding deciding what would make people take notice of a photo to putting together a certain look takes time and patience. patience. But, sometimes it takes something something else. "I like the looseness of spontaneity," spontaneity," Berzins noted. So, whether he's photographing animals or people he likes being flexible. It is also why he chose to become a photographer. He wanted flexible hours, instead of the grind of a 9-to- 5 job. Since graduating from Ryerson in the later 1950's and spending the 1960's chiefly in London, Berzins likes being his -own boss, so to speak. "I wanted to be able to catch the sunrise at the exact moment," Berzins Berzins said as he explained how he works. A 9-to-5 job would exclude the moments from which exceptional pictures are made. Outlook From Page 2 us don't smoke because we don't like the smell, health reasons and cost. - (I also wonder, why people began smoking tobacco. From talking with friends over the years and from what history books tell us, tobacco was originally used as a part of a celebration celebration in aboriginal nations.) So, where can people buy the tobacco tobacco products they want without getting getting them from drug stores? Perhaps cigarettes, cigars and all other tobacco products should be sold in stores dedicated only to them...like those for liquor and beer! That way, the stores could be stocked to the gills with premium tobacco tobacco including those organically grown. Imagine the assortments a smoker would have at their fingertips. fingertips. There is a store in Toronto which caters to the cigar connoisseur in the population. So, why not a store dedicated to the buyers of cigarettes? To really give the store some credi- • bility, there would be smoker identification identification cards. Or, people buying tobacco tobacco and related products would have to show their driver's licenses to be able to make purchases. There should also be a'place where smokers can go to enjoy their tobacco products without intruding on other people. So, how about smoking parlors for those who want to smoke. Or restaurants that cater to smokers and those which cater to non-smokers. Any way you look at it, there will always be people who smoke and those that won't. Just like with booze, So, why not take the cancer sticks out of the pharmacies and put them elsewhere? Put them in a store which has exclusive rights over the product.

Yours truly, Gail Rickard Literacy Co-ordinator The NIN Centre for Individual Studies Dear Editor: I wonder if there are many other persons like me, who feel that the Federal Government's reduction of taxes on cigarettes is a slap in the face to all those ordinary men or women who volunteer their time and energy to go from door to door soliciting soliciting donations to the Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation. For the sake of helping the political fortunes of the Quebec Liberals at the next election, the Federal Government Government has been prepared to abandon the most successful strategy in reducing reducing cigarette consumption, especially among the young. I would urge all those who feel as outraged as I do to phone their MP and make their views known in no uncertain terms. Sincerely Mervyn Russell Box 61, Orono Dear Sir: I am just writing this in agreement with the person who wondered why no local contractors are good enough to do local work. • All the elected officials will spout off time and time again how they arc trying to create work for the area, yet it never really happens. The issue of the Fire Station is a case in point. There arc many local companies, one in particular comes to mind, which arc very qualified to do the job. Plus, if local companies do the work, they will likely hire local carpenters, carpenters, block layers, painters, etc. to do the work, myself being one of the latter, And just after hearing about this I see the picture of a man from Port Hope, doing renovations on the museum. museum. I have nothing to say against the man personally, but does it not seem odd that a contractor from the town of Clarington could not be found to do the work on the Bowmanville Bowmanville Museum? It is always easy to say something, but I think it is about time for the officials officials in the town to get off their high horses and really do something about creating work in this area. Yours sincerely, R. Dean Knox Newcastle, Ontario Elizabethville Happenings By Edna Thickson A very good crowd attended the church service on Sunday, although the yard was icy and some got stuck. More adults than usual were present and Rev. Sedgwick welcomed us. After an anthem by the choir, Rev. Sedgwick conducted the installation of new officers for the session and the committee of stewards. During the children's children's minute, he told them all about St. Valentine. It was also suggested that we take a few moments each week to share news of those in hospital or to note special family occasions. Sybol Davis arid Winnie Finnie took up the offemg and after the service we all went downstairs for our Shrovetide Brunch where everyone enjoyed hot pancakes, sausages and sliced potatoes with cake and ice cream for dessert.

On Tuesday afternoon about a dozen gathered at Helen Woodward's for our United Church Women's Unit II meeting. meeting. President Mrs. Bertha Trew was in charge.
