It gives you a starting point--and the idea* develop naturally. Almost any object will do, If It's big enough to show up in a picture. *Y*VE ran out of picture Ideas," a 1 friend told me the other day. "I don't know what to shoot next." "Nonsense,** I told him.' "There are plenty of ideas, if you use the right method to find them. What yon should do is Just pick a subject --any old object that might work. Into a picture--and use that aa * starting point" .. "For example?" he said. "All right," I replied, and showed him the picture above. "Suppose yon saw that scythe somewhere-- say at a farmhouse where you visited. Alone, it wouldn't be a picture. Tet hy enlisting the owner's aid, yon could get a whole series. Yon could show him sharpening it, carrying it over his shoulder as he started out to work, using it in the Held. A close-up of the blade, shearing through grain stalks, might be interesting. You 52c, It's all ~ matter of putting twa and two together." » "I begin to understand " he said. •Tick something that may lead to a picture--and then huild picture ideas around it" "Exactly, and here's another example," I said. "Your little girl has a doll buggy, hut I haven't seen it anywhere in your picture collection. Why not show her using it-- there's a whole series of pictures. a Show her placing a doll in the buggy--wheeling it down the front porch steps--along the street or house walk--and so forth. Picture her with a playmate, too, discussing how well the doll looks today. "And here's another idea. I know she has a huge teddy-bear. All right--pose the teddy-bear aa if pushing the buggy, and have jour daughter showing him how to push properly. Arrange it nicely, and you'll have a clever, unusual shot" So, that's really all there is to it Pick a starting point--any ordinary object that could lit into a picture --and the picture ideas come quite naturally. Load up your earners and try it You'll find the system works--and what's more, every picture will,have a story to telL John van Guilder Washington, September 18--Mixed sentiment exists in Congressional circles as to,the advisability of quitting now for the election period. The party leaders -are- under terrific pressure from their Capitol Hill followers to settle the question at an early date,. The casualties among the incumbents at recent party primaries have unnerved some who were persuaded to stick on the job while their rivals worked on the voters in the home districts. On the other hand, the foreign situation with its political implications makes the legislator's uneasy about leaving the whole matter in the President's hands at a time when he is a candidate foure-election. On the domestic political front repot ts are current that Willkie campaigners have finally recognised a need for closer relations between the candidate and Republicans in Congress. It is said that the G. O. P. leader has not always considered the problems of legislators in making his personal pronouncements on ticklish i policy matters. G. O. P. stalwarts J want better "timing" on their candi- I date's public statements and their voting on public questions. In the Democratic camp the leaders are hopeful Jim Farley will take the stump on behalf of Mr. Roosevelt. The best information they have to date is Far- ! ley's promise to speak for the re-election of two Democratic Senators, Mead of New York and Walsh of Massachusetts. If Jim keeps silent on the national ticket it will cut heavily into Democratic unity. The Republican camp is eagerly scrutinizing "low down" reports on the reaction of the people in various communities visited by Mr. Willkie. It is expected that this current swing around the country as an active campaigner will effectively counteract the wave of pessimism which has permeated G. O. P. wheelhorses. They are doing their utmost to brush aside the defeatism psychology. Many Republican workers are of the opinion that international affairs are taking a turn which seems to bolster the chances of Roosevelt's re-election. The high command of the G. 0. P. admits that this kind of thinking is unhealthy, j but contend it is entirely unwarrant- 1 ed. They argue quite plausibly that Mr. Willkie is now engaged in peddling his wares direct to the voters so that any measurement of his strength before the tour is unfair and premature. The Democrats, too, are watching the Willkie pilgrimage to determine what new campaign tactics are necessary to meet the challenger. In view of Candidate Roosevelt's open bid for the political support of organized labor a few days ago by promising the retention of all labor's social objectives, it seems unlikely that Congress will court trouble by attempting to revise labor laws before the next session. A bill by Senator Bailey, North Carolina's old-line Democrat, to suspend the requirements of labor laws in a national emergency will be fought tooth and nail by Administration and other prounion forces. Bailey proposes lifting the statutory restrictions on the 8-hour day to speed contracts for the U. S. Maritime Commiiion. Union lobbyists say it would be a wedge for a wholesale alteration of the Wage and Hour, the National Labor Relations and other statutes, which are considered the contributions of the New Deal to the union cause. The procurement officials charged with obtaining quick deliveries for preparedness are somewhat discouraged at the prospect. Not long ago, a high Army officer stated that German military efficiency was attained by working seventy hours a week, while the highest at present under government contracts is for a thirty-two or fourty-hour week. The explosion in the New Jersey munitions plant has riveted attention on the precautionary measures taken by the government to prevent sabotage of industries engaged in making products for the Army and Navy. Managers of plants having these contracts are advised by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as to the necessary steps to guard against damage to their plants or materials. The F. B. I. has issued a pamphlet dealing with the fundamentals of the problem and sent it to interested parties. The counterespionage work of the F. B. I. has been little publicized probably because it migh^ alarm the average citizen, but it is known that the activity has been intensified lately. Reversing the policy which marked its campaign against bandits and kidnappers, the G-men are proceeding quietly in their highly important task of detecting and apprehending sabotuers and other wreckers. Their theory is that the less said about their adventures tfye better for enforcement Not all those engaged in destructive sabotage are aliens, which makes the spy-hunters step lively. The excess profits tax bill, which the Senate is considering tjiis week, is presumably only a stop-gap measure. Already there is talk that the new Congress will settle down to revising any income tax plan which may be passed now. Of course, the trend of the revisions will depend largely upon what party has control and who occupies the White House at the time. The legislators seem set in their scheme to sock business profits on the theory that it will eoualize the «tiner of the draft of man-power. The Congress has authorized so many billions for defense that it has not taken the time to consider just wh^re the money will be raised and whether the asseessments will be equitable. Somehow the national debt limitation issue has been submerged ill the debate oyer preparedness. f - The McHenry County Republican Central committee has appointed a Finance Committee for the purpose of Rising funds with which to conduct the Republican campaign of 1940 in McHenry county. The following are members of the committee: Don A. Wicks, chairman, Woodstock. Jerome S. Bond, Lakewood. fc- Lester Peacock, Harvard. Howard Patrick, Marengo. Robert Conway, McHenry. Frank J. Green, Woodstock. Andrew E. Dianis, Fox River Grove. Frank Ferris, Huntley. William R. Burns, Woodstock. C. C. Stewart, Richmond. Charles F. Hayes, Woodstock. " The Finance committee, which held its first meeting on September 9, voted to make an appeal to all persons regardless of party affiliation who may desire to aid and assist through the instrumentality of. the Republican party to a return to tlie American way of life. , Many people in the past few years 4 names of Franklin, Bell, Wright Brothers and i others. You will also recall that this progress has been developed for the benefit of mankind in a scant one hundred fifty years, as against more than two thousand years of civilization in Europe. This should suggest something to > American^ and they should be able to determine for themselves which is the better way. People who are servants of government and driven by the government lash do not create new things. People who are free and can secure benefits and hopes of reward by the creation Of something better will go forward, atid that has been the American plan. Government ownership or management of industry menns government control and management of labor. Government management of labor may mean a living wage. Government definition of a living wage may mean the standard set up for present government WPA workers. Labor rtiight not be satisfied with that definition of a living wage, but strikes against the government are called revolts and j revolts usually are handled by government police and an all powerful government sometimes liquidates j those who participate. The only, function of the Finance I have become considerably worried I committee'is to procure funds for the j over the decided trend toward a form conduct of the campaign in McHenry of National Socialism or government | county; funds to be spent in advising , ownership or management of business 1 people of McHenry county of the in the affairs of the people. For over; jssues 0f this campaign. When the two thousand years the peoples of-j .eampaigrn comes to a close there may Europe have lived predominately un-|be gome who still desire to continue l der that type of government, under j the trend of the past seven years. t which they were the servants of the; jf they prefer that way, there is nothgovernment and had to look to the j jnR further that we can do. It is only , government for their sustenance. j our hope that before they decide that I It was this type of countries from 1 they shall have full knowledge of the i which people came that eventually I facts concerning the issues involved promoted Hid formed the American way, under which the people were not the servants of government, but that government became the servant of the people, and freedom find free enterprise was a dominant characteristic. This form of government has lasted from the time of Washington to a recent date, and what has happened recently and is now transpiring is common knowledge to the American people. As between more than two thousand years of civilisation under European monarchies and dictatorships and one hundred fifty years of American freedom, we need only look to the greater things that have b£en accomplished in ' America for the benefit of mankind, and'recall where they originated. A few of these might be listed as follows: Steam engine, electricity, telephone, telegraph, automobile, airplane and many other things which you will think of, created by the ingenuity of free men, and you might so that their choice may be made with their eyes open to the road which they wish to follow. To those who believe in the American way of life, the Finance committee urgently appeals for help now in order that this message may be placed before the people of McHenry county. The members of the Finance committee are from various parts of the county. Your contribution can be made to any member of this committee, who in turn wil give you a card receipt for your contribution.
