This is the time of the year when outdoor days around home and drives into the country tell you that it's definitely time for color film in your camera.. How else can you catch the £lory of the countryside -- the swamp maples and the sumac aglow, the deep orange fire of, sugar maples, the goldenrod glowing in every fencerow, the unfurled banners of deep purple asters, the fringed gentians that shyly mirror the blue sky overhead? Whether you use a simple box camera "to take large color snapshots or a miniature camera that makes color -slides you can project, you just can't afford to miss recording the beauty that's at every turn of the road now. Though you have to be a little more precise about exposure when you - use color film; all th6 information you need will be found right on • the chart packed with every roll. Read it carefully, and you won't haye.a thing to worry about You'll know you're doing what's proper for the particular type of film in your camera the day you shoot your pictures. When you single out a countryside view, however, keep in mind that your camera,can't scan the sfcene as your eyes da It will capture only that portion, of the scene which can be seeft through the viewfinder -It-, might be well, therefqpe, to select subjects of smaller sebpe or, scale for yoiur pictures. Perhaps, the russet-hue^, foliage of even a single tree seen • against a blue-sky background as you round a bend in' the road jk#L be your choice of subject--add it couldn't be a better one! ; Another reminder we have, for you when you're out picture-making is to be sure to feature some natural object in the foreground to add depth and interest to the view. If you have a friend with. you, he'll make a fine foregrpjund subject But picture him with his back to the camera, as though he were just viewing the beautiful scene--or he will become tta p^pln subject instead of the colorful 'fall foliage you want to capture. • --John Van Guilder MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS IN ILLINOIS INCREASE Motor vehicle registration in Illinois at'the end of August had already , surpassed last year's record high total, Secretary of State Charles ' F.
