May Color Tax Exempt Gasoline Cheek-up on consumers who are ex- empt. or largely so, from the gasoline tax, is provided for in a bill to amend the Fuel Oil Tax Act which was pass- ed by the legislature of Alberta at its recent session, it is pointed out by the officials of Alta. Motor Assn. For some time it has been claimed that the privilege of industrial consu- mers paying a tax of one cent a gallon instead of seven cents: has been abus- ed, in that the fuel is used in many cases for operating passenger cars when the exemption is intended to apply only to fuel for farming or in- dustrial operations. The legislation just passed by the Alberta house provided that the Lieut. Governor in Council may make recu- lations prescribing a specified color for fuel ofl to be sold exclusively to persons who are wholly or partially exempt from payment of the gasoline Regulations also may be issued de- signating the persons who are autho- rized to sell colored fuel ofl to those exempt from the gasolin tax For infractions of the regulations, there is a maximum fine of 200 or in default not more than two months imprisonment The provincial government does not intend to enforce new regulations, however. until the results of a similar scheme now in operation in Saskat- chewan are known.

HOW SCHOOL FOR BLIND WAS ESTABLISHED IN CITY OF VANCOUVER IS DISCLOSED How a chance conversation with a stranger led to the establishment of a/ schoo for blind children at Vancouver was disclosed by Themar Burke. 80, Above: Realistic, but a fake, easy with any camera. Inset, left, shows how to fake a scooter wreck. Just use concealed Pegs or props, pose subject as desired. CK pictures? you say; oh, I can t take those. Mine fs just an ordinary camera. There you're wrong. Splendid trick snapshots can be taken with any camera whether it s a simple, inexpensive box camera or one of the finest cameras made. Consider the snapshot above. It looks like the sort of thing that de- mands a fast action camera and Jots of picture Inck. But don't be fooled. The picture was posed. The horse was stuffed, and hung on a peg. And the camera used was a simple amateur type such as thou- sands of us possess. Probably you don't have a stuffed horse. But if your son has a bicycle or scooter you can picture a spill just as realistic as this one. Simply rig up the child s vehicle to a tree, showing it in a cockeyed, off-the ground position see that the sup- ports are concealed. Let your sub- fect pose as if he had just toppled off and snap the picture, Photo tricks with string or thread are fun. Try a magic golf club shot. Just use light-weight thread, and suspend one of your clubs from tree branch, in proper striking position. Hang a ball a few inches In front of the club head. Now, havo a friend pose as if hypnotizing the club into action and shoot. If you use thread which is about the samo color and tone as the background, it will not show. Thread also can be used for trick shots indoors. Thus, you can show your wife hypnotizing a vase of flowers right off the table or beck- oning her sewing basket to her through the air. Just use dark thread to suspend the objects, and shade your photo lights so the thread is not fluminated. Try these tricks now and we'll tell you of some others just as easy, next week. 229 John van Guilder THE HONEY BEE, ITS VALUE (Experimental Farms Note) The chief value of the honey bee lies not in. the amount of honey it gathers but in its aid to agriculture generally. The community in which the beekeeper operates often receives more benefit than the beekeeper himself. The importance of the honey bee, particularly in the early spring, when few other pollination insects are prevalent, cannot be estimated; later its importance in the pollination of other crops, as small fruits and clovers, is generally recognized. The honey ' bees are especially well adapted to carry pollen. Their bodies and legs are covered with hairs, to which pollen grains adhere when the bees are working the flower in search of pollen and nectar for their own requirements. Many of these grains of pollen become lodged on the receptive stigmas and fertilize the who sold newspapers on a downtown flowers.

Burke told Filtness how his wife, a native of Australia who had been Dlind since birth, was teaching a neighbor's sightless child how to lead a normal. active life, He sald there were other children In Vancouver who would benefit from similar training but were unable to get it because their parents couldn't bring them to the Burke home.

Mrs. Burke continued asi 1988. SILVER BACKING FOR BANK OF CANADA NOTES COSTS MORE Two chief objections to issuing sil- ver dollars were that too many might be isrued and they might depreciate in value and they were inconvenient to carr. Graham Towers, governor of the Bank of Canada. told the banking and commerce committee of the House of Commons at Ottawa Asked whether the government could not obtain cheaper money by a silver backing. Mr. Towers said that Bank of Canada notes were backed by 2c In gold as against the 27c cost of the silver.
