-- fo; or aa a THURSDAY, JULY 30th, 1936 Pee a 2 HE eA EE YY BUR AUN Page 7 The Ottawa Spotlight By Wilfrid Eggleston esos Ottawa, July 28. -- Whatever form Doniinion Government as- sistance will take for Western farmers whose livestock has been hard hit by the widespread prairie drought, it will not be a policy of wholesale destruction of animals to relieve the situation, Prime Minister Mackenzie King indicat- ed aiter a lengthy cabinent con- sideration of the problem. _ Co- operating with the provincial goyernments concerned, it 1s likely the Dominion government will assist in transferring large numbers of cattle and other live- stock to more favored sections of the west and in sending feed and fodder and water to other stocks in the dry. areas. The United States government, it is understood, is carrying out a policy of slaughtering about one million cattle in the drought- stricken mid-western states. The King government policies have always been opposed to such drastic intervention touching ag- ricultural production and every effort will be made to meet the Prairie situation to have cattle and other livestock on hand for export to the States when, later the effect of the present slaught- ering policy there produces a de- mand for Canadian live cattle. Hon. T. A. Crerar, minister of mines and resources, acting min- ister of finance, and member , of the cabinet sub-committee on wheat, stated that the best avail- able estimate given the govern- ment here for this year's crop 1s between 225,000,000 and 250,000,- 000 bushels, compared with about 260,000,000 bushels last year. The government expects prices will be good for the new crop. It is un- derstood the Murray Wheat Board has its carry-over down to around 115 million bushels with prospects of getting down to around 90 millions by Aug. 1, the official date of the new crop year. Both Premier King and Mr. Crerar ridiculed a report that the government and the two Canadian tailways are jointly planning to open a gfeat series of bakeries and grocery shops in England to market Canadian wheat there. It is true the King government is anxious to follow a steady sales policy for Canadian wheat to be turned into bread on the English- man's table, but no such drastic, not to say. fantastic, policy as the opening of bakeries in England is even being considered. The National Employment Commission has ,announced its intention, during August ,of re- gistering all the unemployed on relief for the purpose of getting much more detailed information than has been the case in the past. The unemploeyd not on re- lief will be registered later by local advisory committees yet to be named. Hon Norman Rogers, labor minister, again emphasized the government's determined pol- icy not to open this fall the relief ecamps for single unemployed. The government has announced the by-election in Gloucester, N,B., occasioned by the death of Hon. Ps J. Veniot, former post- master-general, will be held on August 24th. The Parliament buildings flag was half-masted last week for Hon. Robert Rog- ers, veteran Winnipeg privy councillor, who died at Guelph. Premier King and Hon. Vincent Massey, Canadian high commis- sioner in London, have been named by King Edward on a special Dominions commission touching his coronation next May. While expressing the hope King Edward will visit Canada after his coronation, Mr. King stated, quite definitely, that the government here has heard noth- ing of any such suggestion. Fol- lowing the example of the British court, the Canadian government concluded last week the period of full mourning for the late King George V. A further period of half mourning will be observed. The King has named A. F. Las- celles, C.M.G., former private secretary of the Earl of Bessbor- ough as governor-general here, as one of his assistant private sec- retaries. H.R.H. the Duke of York, heir presumptive, has nam- ed as his private secretary, Sir Eric Mieville, private secretary to Lord Willingdon as governor- general in Canada and later vice- roy of India. ~ Arrangements may be made for an Empire train showing the primary and manu- factured products of the different Dominions to make a six months' - tour of the United Kingdom dur- ing Coronation year.

A medium yel- low filter, K-2, was used for the picture above, taken Z Pee with a shutter speed of 1/100 Ties ee second, aperture, f.6.3. A light- < He OM er yellow filter, K-1, caught the clouds in the right hand picture at 1/25 at f.11. ITH all conditions seemingly perfect for a glorious landscape | picture, how does it sometimes hap- ) pen that those beautiful clouds are scarcely noticeable in the print and the distant hills just barely visible? Maybe because when we took the picture we did not use a small enough lens opening, but even that would not always be the answer. The failure is more likely due to the fact that we did not use a filter, that magical little gadget of colored gelatine fixed between glass discs, which, when placed over the lens, changes the effect on the film of the different rays of the spectrum. Just what is the property in a filter that so cleverly captures' the beauty of clouds and helps to bring out distant detail? It is its color that makes the difference and generally yellow filters are used. The reason is that in photography the invisible ultra-violet ray of the spectrum and the violet and blue rays do most of the recording of images, and on all types of film their effect tends to predominate regardless of variation in the sen- sitivity of different types to differ- ent colors. Yellow, of a certain qual- ity, in a filter will counteract these rays, holding them back and letting the other rays do their work on the film without interference. Clouds and blue sky both are rich in ultra-violet, violet and blue. So, if we put over our lens a yellow filter to hold these rays back, the other rays will do the work and the clouds will be distinguished from the sky. They will appear whiter than the sky. Strange as it may seem, clouds also contain a certain amount of green and orange rays. So, if we use a film which is not very sensitive to the orange and green rays, (the chrome type) the contrast between clouds and sky will be emphasized. A yellow filter also makes grass and the leaves of trees photograph lighter instead of appearing black. It also performs another valuable function. It gives sharper detail to distant objects by cutting through haze, which has an excess of blue light. Also in taking pictures of flowers, or of indoor furnishings, a filter enables us to achieve correct tone contrasts. There are five yellow filters suit- able for amateur use, each perform- ing somewhat differently. Among them the K-2, which is a medium yellow, gives the best general color correction with the ordinary and the chrome type of film, and prac- tically full correction with the pan- atomic and panchromatic film. Ex- posure with a filter must 'be in- creased, depending on the density of the color. Instructions furnished with each filter tell just how to use it. If you have never tried a filter, put a K-1 or K-2 over your lens some sunny day when there are tumbling white clouds over the horizon. You will be surprised, at the difference it makes. 97 JOHN VAN GUILDER SS] SSR]. SS S55 BARGAIN COACH EXCURSION --FROM-- T. & N.O. and N.C.R. STATIONS Via North Bay and C.N.

Many a strong man has pre- sumed that this has meant the end and has promptly gone to pieces mentally. He points, fig- uratively speaking, to this and that prominent citizen who has without warning collapsed at his desk or in his car, and presumes he will be next. But is he right in taking sucha pessimistic viewpoint? Is there not another side to this subject? Very few of us get very. far along the pathway of life with- out some pains around the heart. This may not be due to the heart at all. Frequently it is just a dis- turbance due to gas in the sto- mach; sometimes it is due to in- fection or adhésions in the chest. In people undergoing severe mental strain, particularly if they are of the worrying type, transi- tory praecordial pain is often noted. Of course it may be of consid- erable significance. It may indi- cate a serious condition, particu- larly in the busy man over fifty. In such case it may necessitate a complete change in one's activ- ities and habits, if serious conse- quences are to be avoided. But before getting panicky one should make every effort to find out exactly what is wrong. Do not suppose it is this or that, but go and have thorough physical examination by a competent phy- sician. Let his judgment, based on many such cases, guide you in your decision. Let him do the worrying. However, if he says "ease up", do so. If he says "go to bed", send your suit to the pressers and turn in. If he says "no cocktails" and "only nine holes of golf" it is ' you may wisely let him do the worrying, remember that it is your heart. _ There are three things to keep in mind. Qne is that the pain may not be from the heart at all. Asecond, supposing that it from the heart, that getting pan- icky is not going to help matters in the slightest, and a third is that a little heart scare may often do the over-strenuous person a lot of good, for, if he slows down and follows the doctor's instruc- death under fire without the, tions implicitly, he may actually live a longer, more useful life is, lthan had his warning signal not Ibeen given.
