Raising flowers is favorite
hobby with many people, whether
they have big gardens or do it in
a window box-and more and
more Of them are finding that
they can enjoy their flowers long
after they've bloomed and died by
picturing them at their best.
Close-ups of flowers are not as
easy to take as pictures of the
whole garden, but the effort it
takes to picture them individually
or in clumps is well worth the
time.
A camera that can be used at
very short distances is an asset,
but not a must. An inexpensive
closeup attachment will let you
get as close as 31s feet with even
the simplest camera.
Background presents a problem
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1956-07-27
Turn Your Camera on Flowers

one that's easily solved. You
want the particular flower or
flowers to stand out in all their
beauty and anything in the back
ground is likely to be distracting.
So, piece of cardboard, light or
dark, according to the color of the
flowers and your preference, goes
behind them to provide a COM
pletely neutral background.
Sometimes you can use the
ground or the sky for a neutral
background by shooting from a
high or low angle, depending, of
course, on the height Of location
of your subject.
But don't do any of this on a
windy day-because you can't
tell the flowers to stand still and
watch the birdie.

one Jew had sued his wife, or
wife her husband, in all the two
weeks. AS everybody knows Jews
do 60 out for divorce, but in these
two weeks there wasn't one Jew
ish divorce-seeker in a Jewish
population of some $4,000 in our
town.
when an occasional divorce be-
tween Jews does occur in our
town it makes big talk in Jewish
circles: like some bad accident).
You see," / said to Friend
Gimmel, there's something to
the suggestion contained in that
subject of that brotherhood dis
cussion Why Jews Marry and
are Happy Ever After +. At
least, we see that our rate of di-
vorce is less. And why? What do
you say, Mr.. Gimmel?"
Well. Mr.. Gimmel is a man who
generally has ready answers for
any of the deeper questions. and
I've found him right frequently.

PLAIN TALK

He is no Doctor of Philosophy.
Rather he's in real estate. So. now.
he was replying TO my question:
"Segal, I'm still saying that any
suggestion of all Jews living to-
gether happily ever after, is all
wrong. You should know what
goes on between some of them; or
maybe you do.
But it is fact. as your investi-
CATION shows. that among Jews
divorces are far fewer. by percen-
tage of population. than in other
circles. And the reason?"
Mr.. Gimmel's head shook this
way and that, as of man weigh
ing a heavy problem "Well,"
he replied at length, maybe its
because Jews by the experience of
their history have learned to be
long-suffering +. to accept what
comes to take it, as the saying
is . to take even unhappiness in
married life and go through with
it ;. even to the golden wedding,
as it is called. That may be the
reason why that in proportion of
population, divorces among Jews
are so much fewer than among
others.
II have in mind case among
relatives Of mine by marriage,
This couple couldn't get along al
all even almost from the

beginning of their married life.
After they had been married some
20 years they spoke of going TO
court for divorce: but they called
if off.
"Afterward the husband said to
me, Well, we have endured each
other all these years-and why
can't we take it awhile longer, to
the natural end. After all, what's
married life for? AS l see it, the
main thing is to bring up good
children and how good can it be
for them if the family is broken
up? Our own personal happiness
in married life can't count as
much as the happiness for our
children. My wife and I talked it
over that way, and decided not to
divorce, to try to get along with
each other somehow to the end
80, 40, so years even. We shall
try to be happy, anyway, in the
happiness of our children. And
for Jew to endure isn't too hard.
We Jews have been enduring 1000
years or So
Mr.. Gimmel went on to say:
And do you know. Segal. 80
years later they had big golden
wedding party. Yes. in the philos-
ophY of this couple may lie the
reason why divorces among Jews
are not many. We've learned to
take it and by longtime living
have learned I hope to
know what living is all about
particularly in married life. Yes.
the children do come first in mar
ried life. That may be the an
swer."
