If. important to select a plain background for the small object*. Your Hobby and Your Camera VTO MATTER what your hobby Interest is--there is a place in it for picture taking. This is especially true for the hobbyist who is interested in something too big or too expensive to collect. Many people these days are very excited about automobiles of yesteryears. Yet, very few have either the money or the space to collect more than one, if thajL But they can collect the can that strike their fancy on film.

Travel with your camera and you can bring home any or all of them in your pictures For the hobbyist whose interests lend themselves to being collected-- those who run the gamut from buttons, to dolls, to guns, to Satchfolders--picture records of eir collections offer much pleasiffigABM NEWS IMPORTS HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON HOG PRICES ure. Not only do they have a record for their own enjoyment, but in this way they can share their prizes with fellow collectors. This usually calls for indoor picture taking--and shooting from fairly close distances. The easiest way to do it is to use a synchronized flash attachment on your camera This eliminates setting up of lights and means that when you snap your shutter it automatically flashes the bulb at just the right instant. Even the simplest of today's cameras are equipped for this kind of picture taking. Earlier we mentioned that many of these pictures will have to be fairly close-up shots. You have to shoot in close because in most collections these iteihs are comparatively small. With a box-type or fixed-focus camera, six fe?f is about as close as you should get to your subject If your subject is so small that it seems lost in the middle of the viewfinder at that distance, you can get a simple close-up attachment for your camera that enables you to shoot at three and a half feet Your photo dealer will be glad to show you one and tell you how to use it --John Van Guilder '* 'I* -H' * BOY SCOUTS m Troop 162 American Legion sponsored Troop 162 has started the September round-up season with an over-night camp-out. All of the boys slept under the stars in spite of the chilly evening -- all except Bob Haug and Robert English, who brought a tent and used it. Guest campers with the troop were Dr. Delfosse's grandson, Van, a Scout from Holland, Mich., Bob and Kenny "Hummingbird" Wahl. Junior Assistant Scoutmaster Jim Kirk had the boys build a rustic natural outdoor table. James Ullrich. Freddie Wahl and Bill Kirk, patrol leaders, took over after the explanation of plans and together with their Scouts, built a fine table with cover and benches from small tree trunks which they lashed together with rope. Steve Fiket and Robert Becken- Every time hog prices drop, farmers ask questions about pork imports, Polish hams, retail prices and marketing margins. Hog producers and pork users, too, naturally have a strong interest in these subjects, so we will give a quick report on these popular questions. How much pork Is Imported? During the eleven months ending with May. the imports of pork amounted to 153 million pound§> Did these imports have any influence oil prices of hogs in this country ? Probably, yes. Butj\not very much. While imports of pork amounted to 153 niillion pounds, "domestic pftfductioflf was 8,770 million pounds. Thus the imports amounted to less than 2 per cent of our own production. During the eleven months under comparison, imports of pork increased by seven million pounds over °those of a year earlier, while domestic production increased 965 million pounds, or more than 100 times as much. Beginning in February of this year, imports of pork have been a little less than they were a year earlier. Our lower prices of this year are less attractive to foreign pork than the higher ones of 1954. Where do our pork imports come from? Canada is our largest supplier of fresh pork. The Netherlands (Holland) is the largest supplier of canned hams. Other important suppliers of canned pork are Denmark, West Germany and Poland. Generally the imported pork products sell at higher prices than corresponding cuts produced in this country. Have retail prices of pork been reduced? Yes, according to reports of the United States Department of Labor. "Hie latest available nation-wide figures are for June. Prices of pork chops show the least decline, prices of bacon the most. Average reported retail prices of pork chops in June in seven midwestern cities ranged from 88 cents to $1.05 a pound last year and from 90 to 96 cents this year. Over the same twelve months, prices for bacon declined from 83 to 87 cents to 63 to 70 cents. Prices of ham declined from 70 to 77 cents to 60 to 63 cents. Prices Of lard were cut. from 26 to 30 cents a pound in June 1954 to 18 to 23 cents in June this year. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, retail pork prices averaged 49 cents a pound during the three months Aprils May-June of this year. This retail price was 9 cents a pound, or 15 per cent, less than the average retail price one year earlier. Marketing margins for pork are reported at 21 cents a pound for April-May-June compared with 18 cents a yeari earlier. Are these margins too large? We have no proof one way or the other. It is normal for marketing margins on meat to shrink when supplies are scarce and to swell when supplies become more abundant 1 Back" in 1947-49 marketing margins for pork averaged about 17 M: cents a pound. Your grocer may point to higher 'wage rates -- up 30 per cent since 1947-49 -- as the reason for the larger margins now. But whatever the reason may be, larger margins cut down on returns to hog producers. SICK PEOPLE NEED MORE PROTEIN, SAYS NUTRITION EXPERT Drink more milk and eat more eggs, meat and fish or other protein-rich foods to help you get well after an illness. The human body loses large amounts of protein after surgery, shock, tissue trauma and muscle diseases, says a nutrition specialist at the University of Illinois. Reports show that as much as 30 pounds of muscle tissue may be lost following fractures and burns, the specialist says. Protein loss may lead to further complications if the protein is not restored fast. Liver troubles, gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers may result from protein deficiency. Also, when the body Is low in protein, fewer antibodies are formed that help fight infection and make it possible to resist disease.

Story Of German Submarine Told In New Booklet At Science Museum "The Story of the U-505" detailing the complete history of the former German submarine, now a permanent exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry, has just been published as a booklet by the Museum. Compiled from official U. S. Naval records, as well as German sources, the history of this World War II submarine, captured on the high seas by a U. S. Navy task group, Is told in story and pictures' from its keel-laying in a Hamburg shipyard on June 12, 1940, until it opened as a war memorial at the Museum in September, 1954. The history of its first successful voyages and the later record of continued mishaps which eventually ended in capture was learned from a scrapbook found ifi the U-505 and former members of its crew. Included in this part of the story is a personal account by one of the German crew members of the boat's capture after being forced to surface by American depth charges. The capture, rrom official naval records as well as those participating in the action, is told in the chapter "Away Boarders". This phrase was once a well- -known command in the U. S. NaVy in the days of sailing ships when sea victories were often won by boarding the enemy's ship but this ceased to be practical since the War of 1812. The capture of the U-505 on June 4, 1944 by a task group commanded by Captain Daniel V. Gallery (now rear admiral) made a heroic chapter in the annals of modern warfare. Official Navy photographs made during the capture are used to illustrate this chapter. How the U-505 was brought to Chicago on a 3,000 mile towtrip from the navy yard at Portsmouth, New Hampshire and then how it was dragged out of Lake Michigan and hauled overland on the last leg of its final journey and then its dedication as a permanent war memorial is also told. The last half of the booklet takes the reader through the U-505 in a step-by-step account with illustrations keyed to the copy. This is essentially the same experience the visitor to the Museum can personally have by going through the submarine. In discussing the various equipment, controls and machinery in each compartment the reader will get a good idea of how a submarine works and what life was like in this U-boat. With the assistance of former German submariners and the government and firms of western Germany, the Museum has restored the U-505 to operating condition, which is apparent in the booklet's many illustrations. The booklet's front cover is a full-color illustration of the U-505's capture painted by Chicago artist James . W. Sessions. The back cover is a reproduction of the bronze memorial plaque which has been placed on the U-505 in honor of those who captured it, as well as all Americasn who died at sea during two World Wars. The booklet aiso acknowledges the principal contributors to the U-505 fund which provided the means to bring the memorial to Chicago. Back To School In USA Is Big Business It has been estimated that 'the typical family spends about $50 per child in preparation for their return or entry into schools of the state. This is for clothing and similar expenses and does not include textbooks nor instructional materials. With approximately a million and a half children in the public schools^ and about 400,000 pupils in the private and parochial schools of Illinois, it is possible that the retail" sales resulting from Back to School in Illinois will be between 40 and 50 million dollars. Each community can estimate the amount of business that is available from the parents of pupils in their school district. It is evident that back to school is big business.
