I wish to thank the many
readers who came to my aid
in the matter of oven and
broiler care: also. soup recipes.
You were very kind and help
ful. Now ] have another re-
quest: Ny daughter-in-law Ca
new bridel is having trouble
with an iron skillet. Foods
stick, the skillet shows rust
spots and even the food is af-
fected In taste. What is the
best way to season this skill
let? She has tried many sug-
gestions but still has the same
trouble. I've used an iron skill
let for many years but have
long since forgotten what was
done to It when new. Any sug-
gestions win be appreciated.

Make sure it's simple and un-
cluttered; many an otherwise
excellent photo has been
ruined by a poor background.
Just the other day, for exam
pie. The Star Pictorial rejected
a beautiful color photo Of a
beautiful woman because some
flowers in a vase on a mantel
In the background appeared
to be growing out of her head.
Most outdoor pictures are,
of course. made in sunlight.
But don't have your models
look directly into the sun;
they'll squint, and your shot
will be ruined. AS a matter of
fact. side Lighted subjects
usually are more effective than
those lighted from the front.
Effective snapshots also can
be made in the shade. What
the photographers call open
shade" is beSt-the kind you
find along the shady side of
a house where there's nothing
overhead to block the reflected
light from the sky. But be-
ware Of the kind of shade
found under trees; it's likely
to make the subject look
spotty. And remember that
shade requires about four
times as much exposure as
the average well-lighted
subject.
In photographing scenes,
try to get a feeling of depth.
People in the foreground,
looking at the scene, are help
full in suggesting distances
and sizes. Another good idea
is to frame distant scenes
with the overhanging limb of
a tree in the foreground.
A fatal error in scenic shots
is having the horizon line
directly across the center.

no YOU want to make
~ better pictures? Pictures
that will stand a chance to
win prizes in The Stars 1855
Amateur Snapshot Contest
and then 60 on to compete in
the $4,000 Newspaper Ma
tional Snapshot Awards?
Well, first of, stop making
pictures of people just stand
ing or sitting and gawking at
the camera. Such shots may
be satisfactory for the family
album, but they don't stand a
chance in a photo contest.
Nom may be the sweetest
lady In the world, but a pic
tu-e of her smiling at you as
you click your camera isn't
likely to win a prize in the
contest, much as you may
prize it as a keepsake. You'll
have to make a picture OF
Nom that tells a story-a
picture of her doing some
thing; baking a cake, say, or
knitting a pair Of argyles for
Dad.
Speaking of dear old Dad.
his photo also should tell a
story-Should show him doing
something interestingly you
hope to win a prize with 1t.
He'll make a much better pic
ture looking over his fishing
tackle, swinging at a golf ball,
or even trying on one Of those
argyles than just grinning at
you. And the same applies
to any other people at whom
you aim your camera: Get 'em
doing something. even If it's
only sleeping!
Outdoors, try shooting from
a low viewpoint. This will
make your subject stand out
against the sky, and will have
a more dramatic effect.
Outdoors or in, study the
background before you shoot.

Equipped with assorted sizes Of
cork balls, tiny sequins and bits of
felt and fluff, the ingenious do-it-
yourselfer can create "caricatures
in cork" and mount them atop pen
ellis for personal use or as person
allied gifts.
They're an idea from Craft
house of Chicago, who distribute
materials for do-it-yourself fans.
With cork balls, bits of felt and
yarn, pearls and sequins, an anus
ing small head may be made to fit
on the eraser end of pencils or
stirrers. A small hole is made in
the cork ball to fit the pencil end,
and may be changed from pencil
to pencil.
The tiny cork balls provide a de-
lightful escape from run of the

Mae" has long yellow hair, tied in
pink ribbons with wreathe of
blue flowers. Her eyes are green

CENTER NOTES

The month of October is always
an interesting month in commun-
itv center because it is the open
ing month of the Fall program and
everything is new and challenging.
That has been true at Bethlehem
Center in October as we have be-
gun a new year of work.
New activities this year are
Brownie and Cub Scouts, with a
Boy Scout Troop in the making.
Now that the weather is cooler the
boys will begin practicing basket
ball. There will be two teams,
Pee-Wee and Juniors. The newly
paved court in the back yard will
enable them to practice in all sorts
of weather.
Four students from Millsaps Col
lege are coming as volunteers this
term, two with Girl Scouts and two
with the Story Hour on Thursday.
They will add to the program
through their contributions to these
groups.
On October Is the Brownie Scout
Troop No. 1914 had their Investiture
Service. After games and play
Miss Minnie Parish, field worker
for Girl Scouts, took charge of
the service and the following girls
received their pins: Floretta Flow
ers, JEANNE Mae Jones, Willie
Louise Jones, Gwendolyn Hicks,
Gale Newton, Charlotte Shinault,
Bertha Elizabeth Thames, Patricia
Ann Thomas, Sanda Ann Harris.
Adults present were Misses Mary
Cox and Moselle Eubanks and Mes
danes Elizabeth Thames and Ell
mora Jones and the Troop Leader,

time for boys and girls at the Gen.
ter. This year because of school
conflict, the carnival was on Thurs
day night. Games and races, for
tunes, ghost stories and fish pond
gave all of those present something
to do. About IT'S children and
adults were in attendance. The
staff was assisted by Misses Doris
Wilson and Minnie Parish and Mr..
Peterson from Jackson College.
The Center's booth at the State
Fair was well received and many
interested visitors stopped by for
conversation and further informa-
ton. We appreciate the courtesy
shown by the fair officials in max
ing the source available to US.
The next events of Importance
are Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Already the children are learning
Thanksgiving songs and talking
about Christmas. The staff hopes
that these seasons may be made
significant for all who come to the
Center and that the real meaning
of each will be uppermost in the
minds of all Of us.
Bethlehem Center is in mind of
two very fundamental things to
keep its doors open, viz: Commun-
ity Good Will and your liberal Of
ferings. Both are necessary in any
social work program and this is no
exception. Would you like to be
counted as one who is trimming
over with good will toward the
Center? | know you would like
that. Would you be willing to back
up your good will with a contribu-
ton? The cause is yours-what
will you do?
