Mr.. ZILCH'S YoM KIPpUR
BY Alfred Segal

NH. Z1LCH'S YOM K1PPUH
Mr.. Zilch = already widely
known to all the regular patrons
Of this column - called on me
to report on how he does with
Yom Kippur.

he said. 81 take a look at myself
and say-like I was speaking to
myself Zilch, you should be TAX

of Yom Kippur. You may have
something to atone for. It's like I
do in my own business at the end
of the year. take stock"
Mr.. Zilch was pleased to say
that after rnost-painstaking ap-
praisal he h a d concluded that
practically everything was all
right with him in this particular
Yom Kippur season. His credit
was Al. according to Dun and
Bradstreet. He didn't owe any
thing to anybody. always pays
everybody in the discount time.
Dun and Bradstreet said he was
all right and what better recon-
mendation could he offer on Yom
Kippur. It wasn't just Dun who
said it, it was also Bradstreet :.
''You can't beat that, can your" he
asked.
He felt sure God knew the au-
fhority Of Dun and Bradstreet in
the world. There Zilch's name
stood bright in DUN and Brad.

it would be a good idea if people
could take the DUN and Brad.
street book along to schul on Yom
Kippux and speak up: Hear what
il says about me in this book. This
is my life and what more can be
expected of me? That would save
time.
Though he was feeling sure of
himself, Mr.. Zilch intended to
stand up in schul in proper de-
votion all through the Yom Kip
pur service anyway. - "A mans
got to be jewish" he said, "even
when he can be sure God has his
number out of Dun and Brad
street."
Mr.. Zilch asked me how / stood
In that book Whats your

him that I wasn't even mentioned
by Dun and Bradstreet :. THE
credit Of columnists isn't taken
into account by Dun and Brad

I could see that Mr.. Zilch was
sorry for me-a poor schlepper,
you might say, without a rating

sive laughter Maybe I can
say a word for you-me with my

countenance. I raised my fist. If

Camera Angles
Vacation Time Ideal for Outdoor

For another month or so condi-
tions will be ideal for taking pic
lures out of doors. People will be
going on vacations and roaming
the countryside, cameras in hand,
and many thousands of landscape
pictures will result. Most of us can
recognize and appreciate a beauti-
full landscape scene but few seem
to have the ability to duplicate
with film and paper that which we
see with our eyes.
The reason for this is fairly OBJ
vious. The combination of human
eye and brain is a far better in
strument of perception than the
mechanical contrivance of lens,
shutter, and film. When looking
at a bit of scenery we have the ad-
vantage of binocular vision and
can see the component elements
of the view in depth and proper
perspective. We also have the adj
vantage of seeing objects in the
scene in their true colors and, if
haze or fog be present. we can see
through 1t to a great extent.
Reducing this same scene to
paper by means of the camera,
film, and chemicals is another
matter. The single eye of the
camera can only record the
scene in two dimensions and, if
monochrome film is used. the
natural colors are recorded IN
varying degrees Of bleak. white
and gray. And Cont forget that
the colorS of narure nelp scpa-
rate the objects in the scene and
increase the sense of depth per-
ception. Only with the right film
and filter combination will you
obtain a fair representation of
the color differences in terms of
black and white. And the eye of
the camera cannot pierce haze
or fog without the aid of the
filter; nor can the ordinary cam

last few mornings we have been

that my enjoyment of the finished

So, while Jane, Mace and John

the garden to fight the Japanese
beetles. In our garden the beetles

beans. okra and broccoli. They
go after the corn. too, when it
begins to tassel and will damage
the pole limas and snap beans.
A good dose of methoxychlor
does wonders. We like it better
than DDT because it will control
other garden pests as well as the
Japanese beetles. ~
incidentally, I've found the best
way to bring rain is to spray the
garden. AS soon as we spray the
vegetables. there is sure to be a
rain to wash it of. It goes like
that all summer-first rain and
then race to get the sprayer
going before the bugs take over.
| I remember the first time we
raised edible Soybeans. We had a
terrible battle with the beetles, and
the beans we salvaged we couldn't
get out Of the hulls. We had soy

Then we learned the trick of

Finding The Unusual.
Many people complain that they
can't afford to go where unusual
landscape scenes are to be found
but, in fact, this is just another
case of not being able to see the
woods for the trees. Most of us
are SO accustomed to our own local
countryside and parks that we
have lost the vision to "see" what
lis before our eyes. Commence look
ing at familiar scenes as though
for the first time and you may be
surprised at the fact that daily
you pass hundreds of pictures pos
sibilities.
That photographers spend many
hours in the darkroom cropping
pictures by enlarging or other
means is a sure sign that they
have given too little thought to
composition at the time the pic
ture was taken. However, it is
even simpler than cropping a
negative to frame your picture
right to begin with. Study the
scene awhile before swapping the
picture. If the picture can be
improved by moving the camera
up or down, backwards or for
wards, or to one side or the other,

Now, if Claude had The 40

This all came about because of
sunflowers. Claude wrote to say
that he thought using sunflowers
for bean poles was a waste of
strategic materials. Said Claude:

them to uniform lengths Of about

trouble with this is that the eye

eye will instinctively rove from one

The average dog owner thinks

But. from a health point of view
it is absolutely unnecessary to
give bones to a full-grown dog.
Dogs can digest either cooked or
uncooked bones, but the nourish-
ment is of comparatively little
value.
The only advantage a bone has
for a dog is when he is young

pup to strengthen his jaw muscles
