Par- ing has been the order of the day. The Uxbridge rate for 1936 will be 60 mills, iN Wells Dry at EPSOM A very unfortunate circumstance has happened to most of the people of Epsom during the past winter for most of the wells have gone dry and many farmers hive to drive their cattle quite a distance to procure for them the necessary drinking water; so the rain of recent days have been very welcome. Still we consider our- selves most fortunate when we con: sider the terrible floods that have taken place in so many places on this North American continent when so many have lost their all, and in some cases much loss of life has been ex- perienced. We are glad to" report that last Wednesday, March 11th, the Uxbridge road was once more opened to motor traffic. Two snow plows went through, one following the other in quick suc- cession and soon made a speedy clear- ance of the snow that had blocked our highway for so long. To-day it a glorious sight to again see the usual motqr traffic resumed as .in former days. Spring is speeding on its way and even the crows with: their discordant cries are most welcome. The farmers in a 'short time, with young chicks, may not: seem so happy when they see-these black birds hovering around; but we, after this severé winter are glad to 'welcome anything that has the apeparance of warmer weather. The Epsom Ladies' Aid hope to hold "their. next. .regular meeting in the basement of the 'Epsom Church on the last Thursday of the month, March 26th. All ladies in the community have a most cordial invitation to be present, The Young People of Utica are holding an Amateur -Programme on Friday evening, March 27.

Bromley, of Groundhop River, (near Sudbury),! a trapper of .twenty-five years' ex- perience. Last year the poachers had destroy- ed twenty-five beaver houses on his trap lines; in the fall of ie same year his cabin had been destroyed by fire, and at one tine a poacher threat- ened to shoot him because he had in- advertently scared a bull moose as the poacher had attempted to shoot it. The trapper urged strict Govern- ment supervision, and outlined a plan of aerial survey which he thought would prevent further destruction. "I think the Government should supervise "the trapping grounds by forestry planes. * Each trapper should be given red tags to display to show his territory, together with a red flag to hoist as a signal that he believed poachers were in the district. On seeing a flag the department plane would. land and start a thorough search, © "Nearly every one in working a- gainst the game: wardens.

"That we view with alarm the press réport that further changes are fo be made in the Separate School law favoring the 'denominational schools. Such a proposal would be most unfair and unjust to the great Protestant majority. of the Province and would be singling out an already privileged de- nomination for additional privileges, enjoyed by no other religious com- munion in Canada. "Believing that the only. sélation of this matter 'must be a national school for all; if this question is to be opened -at the behest of supporters of separate. schools, then the whole question of denominational education should be reviewed, as in our opinion, public gentiment to-day does not sup poft the idea of separate primary achools maintained by individual tax- ation and state aid." eee eal Pp NORTH ONTARIO'S GREAT WEALTH ; No other people in the world possess the wealth of natural resources the 850,000 of Northern Ontario own and know little about, Hon. Jas. Lyons, former Ontario Minjster of Lands and Forests, told the Sault Rotary Club. Since 1930,. Mr. Lyons said, the Province has produced gold valued at $650,000,000, dividend payments have amounted to $190,00,000, and 12,000 persons have been employed on a pay- roll of $16,000,000. Mr. Lyons spoke of the possibilities of development of iron ore resources Mineral production provided 43 per cent. of the freight haulage in Canada last year, he said, and estimated there were 93,000,000 acres of land available for agriculture in Northern Ontario. o-oo _ WHAT CAN TRANSIENTS REALLY DO? With one out of every four of On- tario's thousands of transient shown to be either under 20 years of age or past 50, on the basis of a census-taken throughout Ontario on Friday, Dec. 13," ex-Mayor Edmond H. Holtby, of Burlington, Honorary Secretary of the special committee in on the pro- blem, is preparing now/for a second census later in the spring. The census figures collected give average percentages, but are not be- lieved .to be complete enough. Fur- ther action, Mr. Holtby pointed out, will be .affected by whatever decision is made at Ottawa during the present Parliamentary session, but committee members are resolved that the pro- blem of the homeless wanderer will not be given up unsolved if they can help it. Statistics collected show, according to the tabulations, that the youth or older single man who has even a fair knowledge of farming can find sub- sistence work on Ontario farms. Less than 2 per cent. of those registered unskilled laborer accéunts for more than 60 per cent. of all Ontario's "forgotten men". Some 20 per cent. were listed as having miscellaneous occupations. Two claimed to be "investors"; one was a "milestone inspgetor." Several were ate "artists" or "grt students", and had sketches in their pockets to. prove their claim. Over forty of the transients were re- corded as lake or deep-sea sailors.

The| On Monday evening, March 16, about | spetn-the~week énd at her home here ITH the sun so much brighter and stronger now, it is time to a little care in shooting tly into the sun when taking snapshots to avoid "lens-flare" in . your pictures, I do not mean by. this that you should make {it a strict rule not to-take pictures; with the sun shining directly toward you 'and your camera for in doing so you will pass by many chances to. incorpo- rate fascinating, artistic "'back-light- ing" in your pictures, However, it's a caution worth remembering. - Lighting is of équal importance with arrangement of the objects or subjects in your proposed picture. "It is 'the variation in the lights and shadows that gives a picture depth ahd roundness, making the subject stand out from its surroundings. * Usually the shadows should be : transparent, to a degree, but full in - detail.' This js obtained by a rather full exposure. If the sun strikes di- rectly "in a person's face they are likely to squint and the picture will not be & good likeness. Better have them turn slightly so that they are not bothered by the sun--then you will get a natural, life-like expres- sion. Another point is to avoid mak- ~ ing a close-up of a person out in glaring midday sun. At this time of day the strong overhead light casts heavy shadows under the eyes and nose -and the picture is far from pleasing. When making a picture of a person during the middle of thie . exer Proper lighting will add much to the quality of your plctures day be sure to haye-him turn his. face away from the sun or snap him iii -bright shade, which can be done very successfully with modern snap- shot film, If the illumination, or sunlight, comes from directly back of the cam." era, the shadows.are more or:less lost, giving a flat appearance. When * you are a little more advanced, try some early morning or late after- noon shots for splendid pictorial studies for at these hours you get long, fascinating shadows. Attractive, artistic pictures. may be made from a position where you face the sun and shadows fall to- ward your camera rather than away from it. In "back-lighted" work of: this kind, be sure that no sun rays directly strike the lens of your cam- era, This can often be avoided by standing so that the shadow of a tree trunk, a bush or the corner of a building protects the lens from these direct sun rays. Under such conditions you should give a slightly longer exposure than would be necessary if the sun rays were directly on the front of the sub- ject. Perhaps the next larger dia- phragm' opening will let in enough light to record the detail desired in the shaded parts, or, if using a small aperture for increased depth "of ; focus, a slow exposure, 1/10 of a sec- ond, or a very short time exposure will bring excellent results.
