It's a matter of shooting at the right time. Good Sports Shots With Simple Camera Whether it's cheering a big-time tennis tournament or pitching a game of horseshoes in your own backyard, come summer aad everybody wants to get into the act--and the action--of outdoor sports. And, as anyone with even the simplest box-type camera knows, this is the time that you'll find some of the best picture opportunities of the year right at your fingertips. "But," we can almost hear you exclaim, "don't I need a super-deluxe camera to catch fast-action shots?" The answer is no. For, though a fast lens and a fast shutter are real helps whenever you want to picture a subject tn motion, you can count on a simple camera to catch action if you make a habit of accurate timing and use a bit of ingenuity, too. Just study any sport, and you'll observe moments when for a fraction of a second all motion is "frozen"--even though the poses and attitudes of the players suggest jet-speed action. The tennis player with the ball at the peak of the toss and his racket at 'the limit of its swing-^the diveiS at the top point of his ascending arc before he starts the downward plunge--the golfer at the precise end of his follow-through--all these are fractional instants of "frozen" motion. And all these are action shots that any camera can capture. What you have to remember is to time your release accurately so that you can catch the "poised moment" when all motion is frozen. The last shutter of a more elaborate camera merely gives its owner a safety margin--insuring a sharp picture even if his judgment in timing is a fraction off. Viewpoint as well as timing is important in taking good action pictures. A sports shot nuist be clear and easy to understand. For sports such as baseball or tennis, a high position looking down on the field or court is best when you're aiming for general views of the game. --John Van Guilder COLLEGE ACTIVITIES CAUSE OF NUMEROUS STUDENT ACCIDENTS Dying" Jf<br'" dear oTcf "Rutgers may be an exaggeration, but college athletics do account for almost one out of three Injuries to college students. That was revealed by a special study rf student injuries at eleven colleges made by the National Safety council and the American College Health association and reported in the 1955 edition of the council's statistical yearbook, "Accident Facts," just off the press. The study showed that an average of one out of nine students was injured during the school year. Athletics led the list of causes, with residence accidents, recreation, motor vehicle and. laboratory the next most important causes. OIL PRODUCTION Oil production in Illinois during July averaged 234,000 barrels a dtiy, -making the month's total approximately 7,265,000 barrels, according to the state geological survey's monthly report.

Main Street McHepry, 111. 1 Wisto'WIndows, Pmts andfotth tftcfogm^yroJogajDfjn^ GOING TO SCHOOL Early each September a new generation of students makes its appearance in the schools for the first time. Most of thefse youngsters who are approaching, life outside the shelter of the home for the first time will develop powers of adjustment, both physically and emotionally, to the new environment. A certain number, however, find it difficult to mfeet the changes of environment and supervision brought about by entrance into school life, according to 9. health tallu issued by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society. The foresight of some patents has sent many of these children to their doctors for a physical examination before school opens. By it many defects have been discovered and, £t is to be hoped, remedied. Parents should remeiftber tluit careful training will help the child to adjust more easily - to the new lfe of learning as apai^t from the protected atmosphere of the home. Proper sleep is especially important for the child starting to school. Some experts recommend one to twf> hours a day in bed each afternoon for children from the ages of Q to 1J5, and these afternoon naps should be encouraged until they seem to delay the going to sleep in the evening. 1 Children under 7, or 8 should sleep twelve hours daily. §leep is an impor$q.nt factor in the development of the child.' The entrance into school is also a good time to lay stress jm adhering to good health -habits. Good, posture, cleanliness and neatness and proper diet, should J be encouraged as much as possible, because it is in these early years that habits and conditioning %hich bear on the child's future are acquired forever. In homes wherje good health habits have been encouraged from early infancy, there is little need for this warning. But the child coming, from a home lax about good hygiene may be ridiculed and teased to a point where an emotional complex develops that will persist for years. The child entering school for the first time deserves many considerations, not only from the parents but from adult friends, The child of today is the man of tomorrow and should be given every aid to ...develop intq a useful, stable and healthy citizen. • ~ rphe parent of the, child entering school for the first time should be - understanding and sympathetic with the child and help him meet the new problems that arise. The child, for instance, will pick up Words or traits from other children which are undesirable, though usually meaningless; they must be eliminated by patient effort. Patience will also be necessary to answer the many questions brought on . by the instruction at school; a child's curiosity is- a natural development and should be satisfied. Care must be exercised in the handling of ^ children who will show excitability on minglng with others. SEARS j HOMART HOME y MODERNIZATION No Money Down Sears Roebuck 8c Co.
