This means, of course, that


that discrimination was shown towards coloured guests at an ex - servicemen's club, not a


brief indeed. Usually, it lasts only about 1 ,000th of a second, com­ pared with the l/50th of a second that a flashbulb takes to "burn." Thus the very fastest action can be frozen dead in its tracks by electronic flash. In fact, the flash is so short that the camera’s shutter has no effect whatsoever upon it.

The same amoimt of light will be reflected from an object with the shutter set at l/25th of a second as with the shutter set to l/250th. What must be remembered, however, Is that “M ”-type synchronisa­ tion must not be used. The syn­ chronising switch must always be on the “ X ” position.

Lamb Dysentery is a killer when it strikes. This year it


could be your lambs that die if you leeve them unprotected.


There are two simple ways to avoid losses . .. protection before birth or protection within 12 hours of birth, lambs born of ewes which have had a pre-lambing dose


of ’Covexin’, the seven-in-one vaccine, are automatically protected through the first milk. These lambs need no


further protection. Lambs born of unvaccinated ewes are in great danger and should be inoculated with 'Wellcome'


Concentrated Lamb Dysentery Antiserum as soon as possible after birth, certainly within the first 12 hours.


Flocks can enter tho 'Covexin'


System at anytime. To establish immunity In the awes for transfer to the lambs, a preliminary injection is necessary at least


8 weeks before lambing. The pro* lambing dose is given 2 weeks


before lambing. The lambs will then bo protected against

If the unit has an accum­ ulator, ..this can be recharged from tlie mains after every 70 or so flashes—the number usually produced from the battery cells on a single charge. A set of inexpensive pen-light batteries will produce a similar number of flashes before being exhausted, but these, unlike the accumula­ tor, have to be scrapped after the 70 flash exposures have been made.
