But the Recreation Depart

program is basically the same
as that proposed in the original
public works program. with
minor variations. the subcona-

Lighting Stressed
The subcommittee designated
the night lighting, to cost some
$2o5, 900, as "highly desirable.

"The facilities proposed. to-

The sharpest criticism came
from school leaders. Walter N

the ratio move critically.

Just when her life was brightest.
Just when her years were best.

Find q Picture to Keep

trast, your camera won't be able
to "see" enough to give you a
really good picture.
If you're taking close-ups,
you'll want to avoid "scalping"
your subject. The best plan is to
aim your camera so that the view
finder shows an inch or two of air
space over the subjects head. And
in every case, be sure the action
to be pictured is not lost against
distracting, cluttered back
ground.
We think it's worthwhile to
practice playing "finders-keep-
ers." Just remember your camera
can't give you a better picture
than the one you see in the view
finder. That's why look before
you click will pay off in all your
