Presentation to Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ashton, Last Wednesday evening more thon sixty guests gathered at the home of Mr. Township of Reach, when a presenta- tion of a lovely table and a magazine rack were made to Mr. and Mrs, H, Ashton, who were recently married. The presents were procured from small sums collected from the entire community and presented to the young couple along with an address read by Miss Jean Kydd. ' Misses Ruby Wilson, Norma Millman and Pearl Thaxter. Mr. and Mrs. Ashton both replied as they received these gifts and their remarks were well applauded. A bounteous lunch was provided by the hostess, Mrs, James Ashton, and | much enjoyed by all. The party which gathered about 8 p.m. on Wednesday evening was con- tinued until the early hours of Thurs- day morning and all present-report a good time. Everyone in the community likes the young couple. They have always had the interests of Epsom at heart and 'now they have embarked on this new enterprise it is" hoped that happiness and prosperity may still be their portion and that they may still be as interested as ever in the well- being SF the place. Taylor-Kydd Wedding A quiet wedding was solemnized at the Epsom Parsonage on Saturday, November 10th, 1934, when Grace Florence Olive, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walker Kydd, of Reach Township «SNAPSHOT GUIL SILHOUETTES §UB ECTS An arched doorway between living and dining rooms, a taut sheet and a bright light -- these were the only: special requirements for this silhouette. The diagram shows the relative positions of camera, subjects, sheet and light. 1TH the advent of cooler weather, some snapshooters as- sume that the picture-taking season is over. And in so doing they miss a lot of fun and good pictures. Matter of fact, with the new films and generally improved equipment, the snapshot season is continuous, winter as well as summer, indoors and out. We shall have much to say about indoor pictures. For a starter, let's talk about silhouettes -- those pictures in which the figures are solid black on a white background, much like the scissor pictures you see at fairs. With silboucttes, even more than with ordinary snaps, it is vital that the pictures tell their own story. (Unless, of course, you want simply a profile portrait.) For you have only outlines to work with, unsup- ported by perspective or detail. The first essential of silhouette pictures is a perfectly flat back- ground, devoid of detail. And the easiest way to obtain such a back ground is to stretch a bed shed Across a broad doorway between fwo rooms. It's important that the sheet be tacked up so that all creases and wrinkles are eliminated. To light up this background, a strong light must be put in back of it, about five feet away either cen- tered or placed directly back of the major feature of the picture. You have a wide choice. of lamps. You ¢an use a couple of ordinary 60-watt frosted bulb lamps, a photoflood- type or photoflash lamp. Both the photo-flood and photoflash are avail- able at most electrical or photo supply shops at very low prices. The photo-flood lamp, which gives an exceptionally brilliant white light, is probably your best bet. Pose your subject about two feet in front of the sheet (on the side away from the lamp). Plant your camera on a tripod or table so that it is directly on an imaginary line drawn from the lamp, through the sheet and through the subject. The diagram above explains the layout in the simplest way. When the pic- ture is taken, the light shining through the sheet should be the only light in either of the rooms. About exposures. If you use the two 60-watt lamps, you will need an exposure of about 10 seconds, with the lens well opened; with a photo- flood, a couple of seconds will suf- fice. Using the photoflash, set the shutter at "time," turn out all lights, open the shutter, flash the flashbulb (which gives only an in- stant's vivid light), close the shutter --and there you are. A little practice with silhouettes is worth volumes of instruction. Good silhouettes make excellent material for greeting cards, book plates, place cards and so on. In making them, you can call all your ingenuity and inventiveness into play. JOHN VAN GUILDER. i CHALK LAKE Miss Cora. Parrott spent the week end at her home here. 5 Chalk Lake play "The Arrival of Kitty" was a big success, It was largely attended.

The happy couple expect to reside on the groom's farm on the Sixth Con- cession of Reach. It anticipated that this union will be quite an asset to the Township of Reach as the wedded pair are most progressive and very highly regarded. . q ~~ Re PAY FOR VISION NOT BLINDNESS By C. H. Tuck, Optometrist and Eyesight Specialist It has been said, byCharles Kingsley I believe, that the greatest calamity which could befall any human being would be to have his own way from his cradle to his grave. What is there to the credit of anyone who climbs to the top financially during presperous times? What is there to the moral credit of any person who can calmly say that they were never tempted to do wrong? - The person who does his best in gpite of adversity, who achieves something where there are obsta¢les to be surmounted is building "4 §tivrgth of experience and character of value to himself and to others. Real success is not a happening, it is a result. Success can only be gained by constant, persistant, conscientious, cheerful endeavour, everlastingly grinding away at what seems to be the most useful need of the hour. Pay for vision not blindness, health not sickness, efficiency _not inefficiency. Every major depression-6f the past has been followed by a period of mar- vellous prosperity. - Be prepared!
