About a ménth or so ago the boys asked the local management for the use of the cookery for this purpose. Our local manager, Mr. Cleminson took the matter up with the com- pany and got their consent to go ahead. Since it was found neces- sary to remodel practically the whole building, the yvery kindly donated $2,500 for this work. When it is finished the building will have a gymnasium, badmin- ton court, reading and rest room dance floor and a bowling alley Wash rooms with Showers are also being installed. A canteen will be opened as soon as possible. Kapuskasing.

Sut there was nothing ordinary about that gathering. For the first time, family of Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne were united for a_ gala celebration.

Council Gives Up | Hagar Township, near Sudbury is without a municipal council or 'coming year. The members of |the 1936 board handed in their resignations previous to the jnomination meeting called for |Monday, December 28th, and the ratepayers present declined to nominate any candidates for 1937. There has been an agitation for dissolution of the municipality, and it is taken that the action of the citizens is a further endorse- ment of this. It seems likely that the township will be placed with the unorganized sections. CfeSNAPSHOT CUIL Here we see how a sharp picture w. tripped the shutter AVE you ever watched a sharp- shooter in the act of pulling the trigger of his gun? If you have, you will agree that there would be little excuse for blurred pictures, if the snapshooter, in pushing the shutter release of his camera, would emulate the Sharpshooter's technique. When the sharpshooter gets a bead on the bull's-eye he does not pull the trigger with a jerk. He ex- erts a slow, steady pressure. The reason is that, if he does not pull the trigger in this fashion, his aim will be jerked off the bull's-eye. He probably will hit the target some- where, but not ring the bell for a perfect shot. So, with a camera, vio- lent pressure on the shutter release jerks the camera and spoils the shot. There will be a picture on the film all right, but not with the sharp out- lines that make a perfect snapshot, because a camera in motion while the fens is open is like a machine gun sweeping its fire across the whole target, The result is blur. Just as the sharpshooter practices pull- ing the trigger, it is a good thing for the snapshooter to practice pressing the shutter release, ' Sharpshooting it Christmas All wickets were open all dayjyearly becoming bolder, but those and the letter carriers and other|who stole 'the lighted tree from : ; j Mr. and Mrs. G.|0f their front window was up, while the general public partici-; H.

The longer the exposure time the more important it is that the camera be stationary. An exposure of one twenty-fifth of a second seems to most of us such an infinitesimally brief instant that it is difficult to imagine that any motion of the camera could make any difference, but that is a long time in terms of the speed at which light travels. Some persons can successfully hold a camera still for an exposure of 1/10 second, but they are taking a chance every time. For this exposure or any longer one a tripod or other firm sup- port should always be used. Another thing the sharpshooter does is to use the right grip on his gun, the one best enabling him to hold the gun steady as he pulls the trigger. So, in shooting with a cam- era, find the grip that is surest (the manual that came with the camera will tell you) and practice it so that it will become a habit, In other words, ~ brother snap- shooter, follow the technique of the sharpshooter, if you want to hit the pictorial bull's-eye every time.
