Schwabe West McHenry OPTOMETRIST McHenry 1284 THURSDAY MORNINGS Woodblock <74 BT APPOINTMENT ONLY By CHARLES B. ROTH CHARLES ADDISON PARKER, the brilliant New York writer, gays that the common things with which we are surrounded every day, the chairs we sit in, the table we eat from, even the common appliances and utensils in our 'kitchen, demand as ' line a tribute as the . great books we read or the plays we see. V I think he is right. We human beings take pride in every- •thing which is close to us, even if it is a ^prosaic thing like a . 'pair of rubbers. And the more pride we take in these chattels the more happiness we have. There is a little" homemaker I know, living iir a modest four-rdom house with her husband, a lowly worker, who gave me a demonstration of the greatest human happiness I ever saw the night I called -upon ther?K after their new electric refrigerator had been delivered. For months they had planned and schemed and saved and scrimped to buy it. No one knows how many hours of dreaming they had spent. And here it was--all gleaming white and purring silently in the kitchen. I duly admired it and then this AND THERE'S MY PRIDE woman, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm, said: "And did you notice? It's a . . and she named a well-known advertised name. Charles Roth That manufacturer's advertising had dene more for her than merely to cause her to bay his prodact. It had given that product an Intangible value which no amount pt money can ever buy. It had given her something to he proud of and had made her completely happy. I feel the same way about the things I own. And so do you. The wrist watch I wear on my left wrist pleases me because of the fact thSt it is the product of a manufacturer who advertises nationally. It pleases my vanity to own so fine a watch. I am proud to admit that I wear a certain kind of clothes and a certain brand of shoes--both nationally advertised. Whenever we become owners of a branded product, well known and respected by others, we have bought more for our money than the advertising said we would get. Far more. We have bought the product, but In addition we have bought a lift for our pride. And this is worth more than money, because it is a part of life itself, and is closer to us than anything else can possibly be. O Charles B. Roth. qusNAPSHOT GUILD. PICTURE A WORLD'S FAIR Shoot some general views--but remember it's close-ups, such as this dramatic statuary shot, that really tell the story of your World's Fair visit •>- THIS year, you and millions of other camera enthusiasts will probably visit one or both World's fairs--New York's hug© spectacle, or San Francisco's enchanted Island. • /At either, you'll find a wealth of picttre material ... so much that you •May wonder where to start. Here, therefore, are some tips. ~~7~" You'll want your picture record to feally tell the story of what you saw --but it won't do that if you shoot only random, general views. A few . Tlews, down main avenues, are fine --but the real story Is told in details, pilots of individual buildings, statutes, fountains; pictures of crowds, yWith the carnival background; shots odd exhibits or concessions. * Concentrate, therefore, on such Ihings. Keep your eyes open for human-interest details . . . small children marveling, weary walkers easing tired feet. Stay alert for architectural details that sound the theme or keynote of either Fair . .. the ultra-modernity of New York's •how, or the beauty and fairyland quality of San Francisco's. In exploring the Fair, look ahead, V ^ you. Pick subjects as you approach . . .' select an approximate 'Viewpoint... shoot when you reach : the right spot. That saves time--and makes tor better-planned, more effective pictures. Go beyond daytime shooting-- take advantage of the splendid pic ture chances In night fireworks, floodlighted buildings and fountains. Modern films bring such shots within range of any camera that can be set for a time exposure. If you're had no experience iu outdoor shoot* ing at night, you'll find that exposures will range from 10 to 20 seconds at stop f.16, depending on the brightness of the Illumination. Ask your camera shop for a special folder which gives helpful information for both night and daytime pictures. If you're shooting color film, naturally you'll pick subjects that are Colorful . . . and you'll bring home pictures unique for realism. But, If you're using black-and-white film, don't let colorful subjects deceive you. Bear in mind that it's contrasts of light and dark tones which make a good print--and pick subjects for their light-and-shade effect, rather than their colors. For daytime shots, it is a good idea to keep a yellow color filter on your lens--you'll get more effective skies, and a superior general tone rendering. A light yellow filter is preferable for Inexpensive cameras. With a finer fast-lens camera you may want to try a dark yellow "G" filter with "pan" film, for dramatic dark-sky effects. As most everything, at both Fairs, is light in tone, less exposure is required than for ordinary subjects. And last, take plenty of film with you to the Fair grounds. You won't want to waste time shopping for a roll here, a roll there . . . and you will be taking lots of pictures. Thesei Fairs are too rich in picture chances for yon to count your shots.

Plenty of good eats besides the "wienies" and when the party broke up, three of the girls were still eating. Judging by their size you wouldn't believe they could do it. Just when did you quit girls? Too bad the kids missed out on the rides at St. Mary's carnival. It was u good carnival just the same and no rides was not ihe *6tj Maryians" fault. Better luck next year!
