No posing here -- just a wonderful snapshot caught as the action happened. "On-The-Spot" Family Snapshots Most of us who listen to the radio have come to recognize two different types of news broadcasts: ' the coverage of "special events" planned and scheduled in advance, and the "on-the-spot" reporting of every-day news just as it comes off the wire. And it takes both kinds to give a complete record of what's going on in the world around us. The same principle may be applied equally well to the family snapshooting we do. A roving eye and a ready camera -- that's all it takes to catch the hundreds of picture opportunities every-day living affords. You know the kind of "spur-ofthe- moment" situations we mean -- the youngsters' discovery that the bathtub makes a fine sailing pond for a pint-sized fleet, the family pup looking into the baby's playpen, Dad caught unawares in a mid-afternoon siesta. Here, the important thing is the authentic record such pictures can provide of the way your family lives and how it functions in its day-by-day existence. Slightly cluttered backgrounds,- cateh-ascatch- can poses, far-from-perfect lighting -- these fade into relative unimportance, for perfection (though nice to attain) isn't the essential goal. What really matters is that the snapshots tell a story of daily life as it's lived in your house--an individual family story captured in permanent picture form. Ever so often, however, the family observes "special events" --those planned occasi6ns that are highlights in any picture record. It may be Johnny's first haircut or Kathy's first dance or Susie's first batch of cookies. You have a chance to plan ahead a little -- do a better job than usual in your snapshooting because there's time to consider just what subjects you want to picture, against what background and with what lighting. Now, this doesn't mean that planned snapshots should become posed snapshots -- far from it! Spontaneity of action -- the effect of catching things just as they happen -- doesn't have to be sacrificed simply because you've thought about some details in advance. It's merely a case of "getting set" for something that's going to happen anyway -- and then being as casual as ever about your picture-taking. --John Van Guilder THAT'S II FBIT WEATHER CONTROL CSm INMNtOU* HARVMTWI SEAL UP THE POOBS OF TMEIK NSSQ WITH PEBBLES AT NIGMT, SEVOV® THEM IN THE MO^NJNS.

CARPENTIER Secretary of State Many times you've heard about the driver who has the wrong mental attitude when behind a steering wheel. Just what type of driver is he? Perhans you'll Tecognize some one you know in the following groups. There are those drivers who are certain that an accident will happen to another fellow, but never to them. They seem to think they are smarter, or luckier, than the other fellow. They are convinced that accident victims are not very Intelligent. And they are just aB sure that they themselves are immune. DONT BELIEVE THAT ACCIDENTS CAN ONLY HAPPEN TO "THE OTHER FELLOW" Then, too, there are drivers who believe that an accident happens or it doesn't. It is their philosophy that accidents are inevitable when the time comes. Could it be that they are attempting to alibi their own carelessness? They will never believe that accidents don't "happen," they are "caused!" Close to the above mentioned group are those drivers who write off accidental death and injury to the law of averages. To them the motorist is doomed to death or injury on the highway despite precaution merely because of the factor of chance. Here again we have drivers who will never believe that accidents don't "happen," they are "caused!"
