They Keep Trade Channels Open for Britain k i . ijjijflj A-J . ■ » • .. • Busiest craft in the European war are the British mine sweepers, whose duties it is to rid the seas of those deadly weapons. Here vessels take up positions in an area suspected of having mines hidden below the surface. The mine cables are cut, causing them to rise to the surface. Sharpshooters then explode them. Inset: A sailor prepares to throw marking buoys overboard to indicate to vessels that the area has been swept clean of mines and is safe for shipping. ‘Demonstration Club Notes From O live Hill A great deal of interest was shown in the study of the "Out look for Farm Family Living for 1940” by 4he members cf the Olive Hill Home Demonstration club and the men who were pre sent. ' Mrs. John D. Winstead, Sr., c Home Management leader, urged “wise planning for the coming year by the entire family, the keeping of cash accounts, and the exerting of influence upon those with whom we c:me in contact to plan ahead." “No one can hope to improve their present circumstances un less they base their actions upon /facts and facts cannot be retain ed except in account books. This show where the leaks are, and we can better go about stopping them if we know the source, said Mrs. Winstead. “Food is the item which head list, when we investigate far mers’ expenditures,’’ was the statement cf the Foods and Nu trition leader, Mrs. Err cl Morton. She then proceeded to give su; gestions concerning food futur es: 1. Raise on the farm every thing needed by the family. - and store adequate amouhts of foods f:r winter use. In this connection a very inter esting discussion on the use of Freezer Lockers was engaged in, and the possibility of gettin; one for this section discussed. 3. Better planning for the fam ily food needs is important, i hit-or-miss program for food pre servation is ineffective and im practical. 4. The thrifty housewife will not only broaden home produc tion and conservation measures, but will devise methods of pre paration to make the foods she has attractive to her family, so that the cash expenditure for food will be less. 5. Every family should be pro vided with a constant supply of milk and milk products. This is not only desirable but necessary particularly where there are growing children. 6. Every family should have a year-round garden, adding one new small fruit and one new ve getable each year. - From the House Furnishing leader’s standpoint, Jvfrs. R. T. Winstead contributed timely sug gestions for the improvement oi storage facilities in the entire household; making electricty do the heavy work for the housewife thereby giving her more leisure time for other duties; buying wisely of all expensive household equipment especially electric 1 ■washing machines, refrigerators and vacuum cleaners; making minor repairs around the home small expenditures of mo ney. Mrs. C, E. Brooks and Mrs. ( Emory Winstead entered into the Open Forum discussion bring ing the masculine slant on the problems facing the farm famil ies fairing 1940. “The conserva i (nmrrtff will result in progress for tim farmers if a balanced pro. otmt is pt*etfced, H seemed to be m pjjMteralifej; * ' GUILD ABOUT FASTER LENSES 111 IlilliiiWMflllllll onn jfl ~ .-*5 V,> -vjgMß i f | M ■P | | M V A charming snap—and you might get it with a box camera. But with a faster lens, you could use a higher shutter speed, and be sure of a sharp picture even if the subject moved. That’s just one advantage of a faat lens. Everyone, of course, knows that the lens of a fine camera is “faster” than the lens of an inex pensive model. Rut the question sometimes arises: Just how much factor . . . and what is the main value of this extra speed? Such a question is timely now — for we are at the season of shorter days and duller weather, when a fust lens is most desirable . . . and absolutely necessary for some shots! Here, then, are the major advan tages of a fast lens. First, it helps insure clear, fully-exposed snapshots when light is poor—on dull days, cloudy-bright days, in the rain or snow. Second in conjunction with a fast shutter, it enables you to get sharp,' properly-exposed action shots. Third, it enables you to take snapshots at night with less light— sometimes just by ordinary home lighting. Those advantages simply mean that, when you have a fast lens, you’re better equipped to cope with any picture opportunity—whether conditions are good or bad. In win ter or summer, day or night, fast lenses “get the picture” . . . often in situations where slower lenses would mean failure. tion and wise use of agricultural ihe c:ncensus of opinion. ‘'Wise planning, wise spend ing, wise keeping of accounts is sound policy for every family to adopt,” would be the advice of this group of interested folk. • o Robert Oakley Passes Saturday (Continued From Fr.nt Page) Charlie, B.

N. C. How fast is a “fast lens”? That can be answered only by compari sons. For example, an f/7.7 anastig mat lens is four times as fast as the meniscus lens of an inexpensive box camera. An f/6.3 lens is six times as fast as the box-camera lens; an f/4.5 eleven times as fast, and an f/3.5, eighteen times as fast And a fine f/2 lens, such as on cer tain de-luxe miniature* cameras, is fifty-six times as speedy as the box camera lens! In practical terms, this means that the f/7.7 lens will get good snapshots on days when box-camera snaps would he seriously underex posed. It means that with the f/6.3 you’re equipped for snapshots on dull days; with the f/4.5 or f/3.5, action shots under adverse conditions; with the f/2, almost anything, day er night. Putting it in a nutshell—the faster your lens, the wider your picture range, and the more subjects you can tackle with assurance of good results. If you’re getting good pic tures now with an inexpensive camera, rest assured that your next camera—if equipped with fast lens —will serve you even better. John van Guilder Views of the News (Continued From Frcnt Page) SOVIET RUSSIA OFFERS APOJLOGY TO SWEEDEN 7 OR TERRITORIAL VIOLATION Stockholm Soviet Russia has apologized to Sweeden for a viol ation of her territory by Soviet warplanes amidst mounting Swedish agitation for more active aid to Finland and for the forma tion of a Scandinavian “defense league.” The Soviet note, which followed explosive parliamentary debate over Sweden’s neutrality policy and a Socialist proposal for a northern military front, was in reply to a Swedish protest against the bombing of Kallaks Island on the Bothnian Gulf last Sunday. Sweden charged nine planes participated in the bombing but Moscow acknowledged that only two Soviet craft, lost in a snow storm, flew over the island. Tlie Soviet note made no mention of any bombs being dropped. The Russian note, handed to the Swedish charge d’affaires in Moscow, expressed regret over incident. SCIIAUB REGARDS BRITISH WITHDRAWAL AS “BLOW” Raleigh, Jan. Withdrawal of Great Britain from the Ameri can tobacco market is a “very ser ious blow” to prospects for North Carolina's chief cash crop, Dr. I. O. Schaub, N. C. State College dean of agriculture and director of the College Extension Service, said yesterday. He indicated that continuance of the present “tobacco situation” might result in making tobacco “just another crop” and make it necessary for farmers to turn to >thcr sources of income. “Right now I can only implore every farm family to grow some ling to eat this year, for their families and their livestock,” Dr. S.haub said. “That is a soun jolicy any year, but it will be an ’brclute necessity in 1940 if we are to prevent suffering and fin ancial disaster next Fall.” Expressing hope the “indefinite period” mentioned by Britain as he length of the ban on tobacco imports would be short, he, point ed out that the 1940 situation al ready was “gloomy” because of he large surplus created largely by the 1939 crop of 1,110,000,000 pounds. “SENATOR BOB” SPEAKS TO TUNE OF BOOS AND APPLAUSE AT THE HILL Chapel Hill.—An unusually large crowd of approximately ■1,500 students heard Senator Robert R.

J\ For the most part the speech was received sympathetically. Time after time the audience broke into applause, which was particularly loud after the Sena tor’s phrase, “Keep America for Americans,” that ran like a ref rain through the entire discourse. Several times, however, the ap plause was mixed with laughter, some of which greeted passages intended to be taken seriously. One expression, and one only, was greeted by boos as well as ap plause.
