The sun was in the wrong position, the shadows ter- rible and the mayor was in an atro- cious pose when he was struck". Ooh! ---- Shudder to thik of what would happen to that cameraman! There is one point, however, we can all'learn from the news camera- man and profit by it in taking more interesting pictures. It is this. In- clude only the principal subject in a pleture. In other words, if you are taking a picture of an individual or a group, focus the lens on the prin- - cipal subject and forget about the sharpness of thé background or the surrounding scenery, building, or. whatever it may be, unless the back- ground is of some importance and is part of the story. If you are taking a landscape pic- ture determine before you "shoot" the most attractive view and concen- trate your focusing on that spot. Two pictures showing two well com- posed and attractive scenes are worth many snapshots with innu- merable points of possible interest. Then there is the shape of the pic- ture to consider. First of all this is controlled by the way the camera is held--vertically or horizontally. 'or objects at either side of the plec- from the view you had in mind at A high waterfall for instance, or a single figure'standing in a high door- way, obviously should be taken with the camera in a vertical position, while, on the other hand, a land- scape, a herd of cattle or a scattered group of people should be snapped with the camera held horizontally, Although the right camera posi- tion has been chosen, trimming may be advisable to cut out unattractive or unnecessary details which were not noticed in the finder when the picture was taken. This can be done by masking the film when it is printed to eliminate too much sky ture that may distract the attention the time you took the picture. Oc- casionally, it is advisable to trim away the background altogether and mount the principal subject as a cut-out on the album page. * Ovals, circles and panels are shapes which suit various types of subjects, circles making attractive frames for portraits. The size of the circle and its position with regard to the head must be left to individu- al taste, but where the head is not shown in full front view, more space should be left on the side toward which the face is turned. Trimming will often enable a drastic change to be made in the composition of a picture. Trimming the print at top and bottom to make a long, narrow, horizontal panel is often very effective, If"you are not quite satisfled with your print use four pieces of paper as a mask and you will readily see if trimming will make a great improvement.

RE ll SCHOOL FAIR' SEASON AGAIN APPROACHING The closing of the great Canadian National Exhibition will about mark the opening of the Rural School Fair season throughout Ontario. hundred School Fairs embracing the work of nearly 150,000 rural school children will be carried on throughout the Counties and Districts of Ontario during. September. Ontario County with 14 Fairs and an enrolment of close to 8500 children is recognized by prominent visitors as having School Fairs of a very high standing. ~~ Splendid co-operation of boys and girls and their parents with teachers, public school inspectors and the Agricultural Representative have brought about this high standing. The School Fair i is a day of achieve- ment and education for the thousands of public school children who take part and of course'is a great holiday and get-together ag well. The primary purpose of those in charge is to fea- ture the educational side as much as is possible. The co-operation of = parents and teachers however, is essential if the real educational side of the fair is to be fulfilled. Pains should be taken to read the prize list with the children so that rules and classes will be un- derstood thoroughly by the exhibitors. Older people should refrain from do- ing any of the actual work of selec- tion, preparation or exhibiting, al- though instruction should be given "freely, REMEMBER, The School Fair is the CHILDREN'S FAIR. : In the open classes like the fruit classes, the object is to teach the ex- hibitor just what constitutes a good entry from the stand point of true ness to type and variety, uniformity of shape, good color, freedom from THe fruit need not been grown on the home farm. ; : In other classes, the article ex- hibited must be produced at home and a certificate is required that the act- ual work of preparation is done by the child. p Boys and girls who plan to exhibit in the Live Stock Classes should give lambs right up to the day of the Fair go that they will show to the best possible advantage. It is planned this year.to try and run off the greater part of the sports programme in 'the forenoon in "order to give more time in the afternoon for the viewing of exhibits. * Ontario County School Fair Dates.
