CIUSNAPSHOT OJILIV j DON'T FORGET YOUR PETS 1 ■Rf‘f9 Bn 1 i5*S K ajjfl ■ * aMTW m ngfHvn I , HMR lljs|l| IT :- - I • - huh * "K.JiL- Pt Story telling snapshots of your pets breathe life into your snapshot album. /CAMERA owners who have taken pictures of their pets always find, on looking back over their snapshot albums, that the pictures recall events of bygone years which played an important part in their happiness, and they are mighty glad to have them. So, here are a few ideas for taking such pictures. If your pet, for instance, has learned some tricks why not make a series of snaps—a "lay-out” or "strip” as a series of pictures is of ten referred to in the photographic or art departments of newspapers. Perhaps your dog has been taught to sit up, "roll over" or “speak” be fore receiving his daily bread or a choice morsel of candy. Snaps of "Snip” doing these tricks and mounted in your album as a "strip” across the page will add to the in terest and variety of your collection. You can take such pictures with almost any camera. Os course, if “Snip” displays considerable speed when he "rolls over” you will prob ably have to shoot outdoors at a shutter speed of about 1/100 sec ond. Where you set your diaphragm opening at this shutter speed de pends much on your lighting. The brighter the day the more you can "stop down” to get greater depth of focus. When in doubt uso the larger diaphragm opening for it is always Mansfield, Miss Nancy Davenport, James Davenport and Willie Lee Brabble visited Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ward Sunday. y Mrs. Henry Basnight and child are visiting her sister, Mrs. B. B. Bas night, and Mr. Basnight, near Nor folk, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thach and daughter, Christine, and Miss Ruth Mansfield, of Bethel, visited Mrs. Charles Ward, and Mr. Ward, Sun day. Miss Sarah Margaret Harrell spent the week.end.in Rocky Hock as the i better to overexpose a little than , to underexpose. If the pet is your child’s compan . ion, be sure to snap an interesting { story-telling picture of the twe pals . at play. Your five-year-old will prob . ably not appreciate the value of | such a picture now but in later years he will thank you for preserving for him those happy days of childhood. 1 Undoubtedly your cat alley or 1 otherwise—has his favorite lounging ’ spot in the house, or favorite “look - out” such as that of Mr. J. Thomas Cat, pictured above. Have you ever . thought of taking such a picture T Be ; lieve it or not, it won quite a sub . stantial prize in a national snapshot . contest a few years ago. And don't overlook the canary, the parrot, lpve birds, Jimmie's pet rab bits and the many other animals and . birds of various and sometimes strange types and breeds adopted by those who favor the unusual. It’s perfectly all right- to dress up the cat or dog in glasses, cap, pipe, , or shove him unceremoniously into a boot or shoe, if the unfortunate . animal is small enough to he shoved, but pictures of that type are not long lived as far as enduring in terest i 3 concerned. It’s the snap shot that tells a story or has human interest appeal that really breathes life lino an album. JOHN VAN GUILDER. We think our used cars are better look* ing than average. We believe that they are mechanically right. But we know that our customers we always right. That’s why we say “Drive one of our used cars for two days. Take it on along trip. Put it to your own tests. Have your own mechanic look it over. Then—if you are dissatisfied in any way with your purchase, bring it back. There will be no quibbling—no ifs and ands—no red tape.
