CAR RENTIER Secretary of State One of the principal obligations of a motorist is to be on the outlook for pedestrians. Evidence available reveals that a high percentage of the pedestrians struck down by vehicles were either guilty of an illegal or absolutely foolish act. The age of the victims and the light at the time of the accident • also plays an important part in these fatal accidents, according to the evidence. And it is, revealed that intoxication has more importance in these tragic accidents than it is accorded. Pedestrians who insist upon breaking laws when crossing streets apparently are not aware -- or just do not care -- of their chances against a machine weighing many times their own weight. There is no excuse for crossing streets against traffic signals or for "jaywalking"--crossing in the middle of the street. Negligence while walking on a highway is also responsible for many traffic fatalities.

Are you looking for an easy way to get better pictures of your family and friends? Well, you'll have a superioi snapshot of a person every time if you just try catching him in the midst of some activity he enjoys--or if you give him something to do that's natural and typical for him to be doing In that way, you can be sure even the most self-conscious or reluctant subject will relax and be himself. Although your camera's aimed right at him, his attention remains on the task he's performing--and you'll be spared a stiff-necked pose or a glassyeyed stare in your viewfinder. ! By letting activities keynote I your snapshots of people, your : reputation as a picture-taker is bound to grow. Your prints will show more than just what your subjects look like. Rather, they'll reveal what each person is like-- what he likes to do--what it's like to be with him. The result won't be simply a shot of someone having his picture taken. It will be a picture of him doing something that reveals a facet of his character and personality.

Riverside Drive PHONE McHENRY 275 points to remember, too, when you snap your friends and family. Check the background carefully before you shoot. Make sure it's not so cluttered and confusing that your subject will be lost in a welter of detail. In some cases, you may want to use a narrow depth of fWd and no additional light to give the effect of a dark backdrop rather than a detailed background for your subject Camera viewpoint can also make a world of difference in your pictures of people. In general, you'll do well to snap your subject on his own level or from slightly below. Naturally, your choice of camera angle will depend on the particular elements you want to emphasize in your picture. If, for example, you were shooting a person reading a book, a low angle would completely bury the person behind the book, while a high one would highlight the book rather than the reader. When you're picturing people, study and select background, viewpoint and lighting carefully. But most important of all, catch your subjects "in action." --John Van Guilder .r T I L E IT YOURSELF AND SAVE! Top Quality Wall Tile at LOWEST Prices 7ZVt< sq. ft.

Owners FIRST NATIONAL BANK of WOODSTOCK, Clerking Member Federal Reserve System Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation DAIRY INDUSTRY SHOWS STABILITY AND ALSO PROGRESS The dairy industry has been more stabilized than most farm enterprises during recent years. No big changes are in prospect for 1957. Since 1946, price chances have been relatively small. During these past eleven years, national average sLnnual prices received by farmers for milk ranged from $3.89 to $4.88 per hundred pounds. In 1956, the national average was about $4.15, and the 1957 average could be a few cents higher. Prices received (by most • Illinois farmers are 50 to 75 cents lower than the national average. COW NUMBERS DECLINE. Numbers of cows milked reached a peak of nearly 26 million head in 1944. Since then, the number has declined each year except in 1953. Farmers milked more cows in 1953 because prices of beef cattle had dropped sharply a year or so before and the1 government was supporting prices of milk and butterfat at 90 percent of parity. Price supports were reduced in 1954, and cow numbers turned down again. They have declined slowly since then, moving from 21.7 million head in 1953 to 21 million in 1956. Farmers are not expected to make any material change in total numbers of jcows milked in 1957. Some will add to their herds, but others will stop j milking. ' MORE MILK PRODUCED/1 Milk production per cow has increased rapidly during the past twelve years. The average increased from 4,600 pounds ;n 1944 to over 6,000 pounds in 1956. Outi put per cow is expected to in- | crease similarly during the next j few years. I Total milk production reached j a peak of 120 billion pounds in 11942 and then trended downward I to 115 billion pounds in 1952. New record highs were reached in 1953 I and each year since. Output in 11956 \yas 127 billion pounds, and ; output in 1957 is. expected to be i near 130 billion pounds. I DAIRYMEN GET MORE MONEY. C^h receipts from the sale of milk, cream and butterfat reached a peak of nearly 4.6 bil- , lion dollars ni 1952, slumped to j 4.1 billion in 1954, and climbed ! back to 4.5 billion last year. This j year will probably bring a new I alMime hieh. ! Consumers readily bought all \ available dairy products during j the war and until 1953. In that j year there was a sharp increase in milk production, but price sup- 1 port prevented the price cutting i that would have been necessary to | sell the larger supply to consum- ' ers. To support prices, the government bought butter and cheese equal to 10 billion pounds of milk. Reducing the price support helped tQ check the increase in production and to boost sales. Government purchases for price support were cut in half by 1955, though they increased slightly again in 1956, \i'hen support levels were raised. Surplus stocks have been greatly reduced. Government stocks of cheese have been cut from 335 million pounds three years ago to 190 million pounds, and stocks of butter, which reached 265 million pounds three years ago, have been sold out. Price support will probably continue in 1957 orr about the same basis as in 1956. L. H. ^imeVl Dept. of Ag. Ec.
