Now’s the Time
For Family Shots
By GILBERT HILL
Copley News Service
Every person is different
and it often requires the con
siderable skill of a portrait
photographer to produce an
acceptable likeness.
But the most valuable fam
ily pictures are often of the
candid “people doing things”
variety, which only the alert
photographer with a camera
loaded and always ready can
produce.
The holidays are just ahead
the time for trips, children
home from school, family
gatherings,and the time for
making the most valuable
pictures of the year.
But, far too often they will
be completely overlooked by
the most capable photogra
phers in the country, who end
Words
of
Truth

Pillars of Promise
In Romans 4:21 we read—
“ And being fully persuaded,
that what he had promised, he
was able to perform.” Every
promise of God is built upon
four pillars: God’s justice or
holiness which will not allow
hiip to deceive; His grace or
goodness which will not allow
him to forget; His truth,
which will no allow him to
change; And his power, which
makes him able to ac
complish.
The precious promises of
our God are ours to enjoy.
Let’s look at some of them:
He promised to be with us (Mt
28:20). He promised we could
bfe where he is (Jn 14:1-3). He
promises to hear our prayers
(Mt 21:22). He promised us a
kingdom that cannot be
shaken (HB 12:25-28). He
promised us eternal life (1 Jn
2:25). And God has never
broken a promise!
An aged and ragged Indian
wandered into a western
settlement begging for food.
In a dirty pouch on his side
was a faded paper which was
a discharge from the federal
army entitling him to a
pension for life. He could
have had support and plenty
for years but had wandered
helpless and forlorn. With the
promises of Christ in your
hand are You starving in the

mention these facts in his
fuel savings message—
Providing adequate
Relative Humidity
CAN SAVE UP TO 15%
ON HEATING COSTS
Every degree of temperature over 70° repre
sents 3% of total fuel costs in home heating.
8% relative humidity has the same effect on
body comfort as 1 degree of temperature over
70°. For example, if the relative humidity in your
home is 15% and the temperature is 75°, you
would be just as comfortable at 70° providing
you increased the relative humidity to 45 or
50%. This would save approximately 15% on
fuel costs.

up kicking themselves sooner
or later for overlooking their
opportunities.
Most photographers start
out making “people pic
tures.” It may be a Sunday af
ternoon snap-shooting session
in the park, or a weekend at
the beach or in the mountains.
More often than not the first
camera in a family is pur
chased with the arrival of the
first child to “take pictures of
the baby.”
Then the photographer
reads and studies, perhaps
joins a camera club, takes
some magazines and begins to
become really competent. But
he thinks he has “outgrown”
those simple family snap
shots. Other children arrive
and suddenly father realizes
he doesn’t have the record he
should have of his children,

Carpeting
SELECTING PADDING
Don't buy good carpet and
then try to save a few dollars
by failing to put a good pad
underneath the carpet. Pad
ding is most important. The
life of your carpet is greatly
extended when the carpet
rests on the soft pad instead
of a hard floor surface.
In addition to increasing the
life of your, carpet, soft pad
ding allows you to “sink in”
when you walk upon the car
pet, giving it the “plushy”
feel.
A good pad pays for itself.
We have the right padding
for every carpet. Our courte
ous salesmen will be glad to
recommend the proper pad to
fit your needs.

about the time that they go
away to school and he’s lost
the opportunity.
Or, there will be that family
gathering, which may be the
last time that everyone gets
together. Because circles
have a way of being broken by
both happy events such as a
marriage, which at least may
bring in another face, or the
death of a loved one.
There is nothing more trag
ic really than the frantic
search that goes on in many
families for an acceptable
picture of an elderly parent,
or grandparent, after an un
expected death before anoth
er year rolls around and
another opportunity to make
pictures.
Photography has many
uses. It is an art in the hands
of an artist. But it can also
preserve family records like
no other medium available to
millions of families and the
artist-photographer can do a
better job than anyone else
because of his skill.
So, now is the time to get
ready. Check the camera to
see that it is in good working
order.
