4-H PHOTO WINNER SAYS
CAMERA CAN SAVE MONEY
When property is dam
aged by theft, tire or a

come to the rescue, says
award-winning photographei

Company scholarship grant
in the 4-H photography
project conducted by the

can be documented
A camera can be a boon
when calamity strikes on the
road, too Photographs are
evidence of the conditions
under which an accident oc
curred “Photos of the vehi
