IIMELY Nous on Tun TOPICS

As an example. of how the breeding of mink has progressed in Norway, we find that for their March 26 and 27 mink sale at Oslo, they will offer 25,000 dark mink, 65,000 pastel mink, 10,000 silverblue mink, 5,000 sapphire mink, 8,000 topaz mink, 7,500 palo- mino trunk, and 5,000 other types. The total offering being 125,000 pelts. ,

They are also holding a fox sale on March 25, where they will offer 5,000 Norweigiaii blue fox, and 2,000 silver and platina fox.

A despatch from Winnipeg states that the Regina sale, which had both Eastern Canadian and West Coast buyers present, was

‘ a most successful one. The offer-

ing was 100 per cent sold with ‘firm prices that must have sat- isfied the consigners, or thevsale would not have been 100 per cent.

“ GOOD AND BAD

In the most recent sale of the New York_ Auction Company, 47,- 000 miscellaneous dressed mink was 98 per cent sold. The sale held up firm all week, although the offering contained many poor quality skins. To] balance this, there was a’ collection of select ‘foods of top quality that were the magnets that drew the best firms, and they bought all the of-

, fering.

As a few examples of the top prices, there was an offering of 28,891 cerulean regulars, which was 89 per cent sold';" -top price for males was $45.50, females -— $21‘.00. Cerulean Breath of Spring were 96 per cent sold, with males bringing a new high for the sea-

son of 76.00; females of this type —

brought a new high for the sea- soniof $29.00. Jasmine was 100 per cent sold, with males bring- ing a top of $70.00 and females $39.00 '

The result of the above sale

, was summed -up in the following

words: “Because of the ,top-level buying, the ‘overall picture of mink price levels would appear to be reasonably firm, although there are many who feel that the conlrnerical and low grades sof- tened more than enough to coun- terbalance any increases‘ shown on prime skins."

, SQUIRREL

It takes all kinds of furs to meet the requirements of the fur trade. At Anning and Cobb’s sale in London, March 2, raw Rus- sian squirrel was 92 per cent sold, and practically the .whole collection was purchased for U- nited States» parties. -

Basic prices were considere good. Musk,-rat was also in ex-

cellent demand.

An item in “Women’s Wear Daily” fur column states that the United Kingdom imported 11 per cent more furs from the United States during January that during the corresponding month in 1957. They totalled 523,310 pounds, ster- ling in value, which is equal to about $1,350,000 in Canadian funds. .

RUSSIA TOPS

But Russia shipped even more than U.S.A. to t-he United‘ King- dom, their consignments running close to 2 mil-lion. The writer of these notes remembers quite well the auction sales of London in 1928, ’29, ’30 and '31, which we attended in the company of the late W. Ch-ester S. McLur'e. We were, at that time, buyers of sil-

‘ ver fox for "the Hudson's Bay

Company — the oldest company in the world’s history, whose first governor was Crown Prince Ru- pert, after whom Rupert’s Land was named.

Then, silver fox was king, and Prince Edward Island was pro- ducing the finest skins in the world. Buyers came from all ov- er the continent to purchase them.

Anning, Chadwick and Kiver,

. in their March sale report, state

that muskrat was unchaged to slightly below recent contract pri- ces at their March sale. Twenty- five per cent was withdrawn. No reason was given for the musk- rat price drop, which had been a ready seller at previous auctions. The above firm‘ is situated in London. VALUABLE MIN

In the February‘ issue of the “Black Fox Magazine” we note that R. B. Owens and Sons, Vic- toria, B.C., who won the trophy for the best natural dark m-ale mink at the Milwaukee Show, sold that animal for $2,500. This is possibly a record price for a dark male. _

Barry Coward, president of the

Hudson’: Bay Company, New York City, has been elected pres- ident of the newly-formed Fur In- dustry Promotion Bureau. Mem- bers are composed of auction men, dressers, dealers, manufac- turers, fur unions, and the fur label authority.

It is estimated that the Bureau will spend over $300,000 the first year on promotion of all furs.

By CHARLES MORROW Canadian Press Staff Writer EDMONTON (CP)-—The Uni- versity of Alberta has been closely keyed to the people since the province’s first pre- mier, Alex Rutherford, intro- duced legislation leading to its establishment at the first Alberta legislature session in 1906.

This fact is evident as the uni- versity prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Just four years after its esta- blishment, the university took ed- ucation beyond the campus with appointment of a director of ex- tension services. Today, the ‘uni- versity is continuing this theme with a program of decentraliza- tion under which the Calgary branch is expanding rapidly and a junior college operates in Leth- bridge.

BROAD PROGRAMS

The university also operates a Vast extension program, includ- ing the Banff School of Fine Arts and, in conjunction with the pro- vincial department of telephones, radio station CKUA, Edmonton. The only school of petroleum engineering in Canada is located here and the university operates the first school o fphysiotherapy in Western Canada. Until re- cently, it had the only dental school in the West.

Directing all these operations is Dr. Andrew Stewart, 54-year- old Edinburgh - born economist. He not only administers the uni- versity, but is chairman of the recently-appointed royal commis- sion on farm price spreads, and this year heads the national council of universities which han- dles federal aid to universities.

HOUSING PROBLEM

Housing has been a problem for the university since the first president, Dr. Henry Marshall Tory, borrowed the upper floor of a public school to start classes in 1908. ‘ -

New construction has changed the face of the campus since the end of the Second World War,

“but I don’t think we'll ever catch up,” says vice-president Dr. W. H. Johns.

Full-time enrolment at Edmon- ton now is about 4,500.

Dr. Stewart says: “It -has taken almost 50 years to reach an enrolment of more than 4,000 students. There seems lit- tle doubt that registrations wil dongle in the next 10 years.”

Dr. Johns says the university faces a “grim” job next fall in finding additional classroom space. Drastic changes will be made in the schedule.

NEW BUILDINGS

To help meet the influx of new students, work will begin here this year on a combined physics- chemistry - mathematics build- ing, _a three-unit physical educa- tion building, comprising a gym- nasium, ice hockey rink and and a large addition to the medical building. Work is expected to begin next fall on the first two buildings on the University of Alberta cam- pus at Calgary. The Calgary branch, which offers first - year courses in most subjects, now is housed in the provincial educa- tion building.

Construction of the, $7,000,000 physics - chemistry - mathemat- ics building here will permit the university to strengthen its basic science departrnenrts, something

They not only have the smart styling and lively power you want—they’ve got the kind of features you’ve often wished somebody would “comeup

Examples? Well, just take a look at the beautiful new Sweptside 100 model shown below. Its special “prestige” styling sets,» the pattern for all Fargo pick-ups. Gives them a look that really attracts business.

long advocated by Dr. Stewart. While urging a balanced educa- tion, he told the fall convocation: “Canadian universities in_ gen- eral have fallen far behind In the

march of scientific knowledge.”

Neither Dr. Stewart nor Dr. Johns agree the university should raise its entrance require- ments in an attempt to cut down the number of students.

Dr. Johns says “our main lob is to seek out and bring to uni- versity more able students who at present au‘en’t coming.”

Enlargement of the univer- sity’s facilities at Calgary will help greatly, although Dr. Johns says he thinks there are regions in the province where the univer- sity is missing students. He cites the Peace River district of north western Alberta as an area which sends too few students to university.
