BY OSH- ww AWA LEGION i At a meeting of the Oshawa Branch of 'the Canadian Legion, a resolution was passed protesting in the strongest possible terms against the publication, in book form, of the details of executions of soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary . Force on active service for cowardice and de- sertion. This resolution arose from reports from Toronto that in a book now in course of preparation, all these names of the victims, were to be in- cluded, and speakers at this meeting declared that this was being done simply to promote the sale of the book on the grounds of sensational- ism. The. discussion of the regolution took on an added interest when two of the members asserted they had been members of firing parties which performed such executions, and that the experience was one of the most be forgotten. No good purpose could be served at that date, it was asserted by recalling the fact that such ex- ecutions had occurred. One speaker at the meeting stated that the execution of war-crazed veterans was 'ong of the discreditable things: to be charged against the higher commands of the British Army because in many cases men were ex- ecuted for desertion and cowardice, when they should have been sent to a hospital as nervous and mental wrecks, casualties of the conditions under which the war was carried on.

SNAPSHOT GUILD SUMMER FLOWERS Summer offers un- limited opportuni. tiles for unusual flower pictures. The light between ten and thi. in the summer is so intense that you get an over-abundance of chally highlights and Inky shadows. To catch the subtle beauty of the colur ings in flowers, it is much better to work under the slanting rays of the sun in early morning or late after- noon, You will doubtless want to take close-ups of some of the flowers. If your camera will not focus closer than ten feet, or thereabouts, get a portrait attachment (a' simple, inex- pensive lens that fits over the recu- lar lens), With it you can get very close to your subjects, for striking and beautiful shots, Here's another trick. To make a particular flower or plant stand out vividly, get a big sheet of gray card- board and stand it up back of the flower, far enough away so that--if you are using direct sunlight--no shadows fall on it. To catch the color values of flow- ers, you'll need to use the new super- sensitive panchromatic film, "Pan- chromatic" means the film is capable of recording, in monochrome of course, a wide range of colors. Your photo dealer will help you select the best film for your special needs, and you will get snapshots to which you can point with pride and say, "I snapped that one." JOHN VAN GUIT.DER. LTHOUGH June 21 is considered the first day of summer, it seems that, as far as the well-known public is concerned, summer is al- ready here and the season is open for picnics, week-end trips, vaca- tions and all activities classed under « «7she general heading of "Outdoor Sports." ] Heading the list of summer activi- ties, however, should be "snapshoot- ing" for picture taking with the mod- ern day camera 18 one fascinating, healthful recreation that may be en- * joyed by the young or old, and we might add--rioh or poor for today cameras are available at prices to meet the capacity of any pocketbook and good piotures can be taken with all of them, Another thing in favor of amateur photography as a pastime or hobby is the faot that it 1s not necessary to be an expert to get pleasing results, for modern-day cameras and film have been materially simplified for the snapshooter, : Late spring and summer offer groat possibilities for flower and gar- den plotures, from the first appear. ance of the colorful erocus through - the season to the arrival of the giant chrysanthemum in the fall, The first rule of flower portraiture fs: Avoid harsh lighting, By this, I mean that flowers seldom make good plotures under direct, midday sun.
