When the helicopter explorers find something that looks good, they mark it on the map. Williams then takes a crew back to stake the claim officially.

National Fur News in its month- ly letter for July has the follow- ing:-Current Market - Ranch mink (Standards-Mutations): End of the season offerings placed on the market the past few weeks met with a good response at firm prices. It can now be re- ported that its current market- ingsaaaonasfarasminkvari- eties are concerned. has come to a close. Silver Fox: There are no further developments regard- ing tha futurs market possibili- ties of this article. Wild Furs: There has been a slight improve- rmnt h the general market. which recently displayed moder- ate weakening tendencies. Prin- cipal articles such as beaver and muskrst are in plentiful supply at present, with a steady de- mand prevailing.

Future Market Possibilities- Rlnch Mink (Standards-Mutab ions): Generally speaking. it is a dangerous and somewhat futile pastime to predict the market for any long period ahead. Actually. the next season dose not open for another six months; nevertheless.

Au enterprising furrier in Buf- falo. N. Y. has lie following ad in a paper there: ”Do you have tuo fox skins tucked away?" If so. the advertiser would com- plctely re-style and fashion them into a new cape. collar. shrug or small stole for 5'76.

Describing mink as an interna- iional fur Ivar Thome. director at Oslo Fur Auctions. Ltd.. Nor- way. suggests that a world wide promotion of quality mink under a single trademark would prove bcneficial to all mink. While making this statement Mr. Thoma soitght to soothe the ruffled feel- inus of mink ranchers who fear an invasion of the Scandinavian countries by saying "We are familiar with the fact that some American groups are trying to not restrictions placed on Scan- dinnvlan mink. Actually. in terms nt dollar value we think Europ- mn imports of United States ll'IllI( last year were just about ouunl with Scandinavian exports to the United States. Therefore. tho Americans really have noth- his to worry about, for the mink imports in both Europe and Am- cricn balanced each other." Ila llalrl a tribute to American in- fzcnunily in the mink field as fol- fll'

strong demand for most mink varieties. Barring unforseen world developments. it would ap- pear that the unique position of mink as the most wanted of all furs will depend a great deal upon the producers collectively to maintain and improve the qual- ity of future crops.

Silver Fox: There have been no further developments from a future market point of view. Wild Furs: There undoubtedly will be a shortage of supply be- fore the current ssason comes to an end. Featured articles are selling quite freely; price struc- lures appear sound. SUMMARY: We mentioned several months ago that the year 1955 will be "the year" the fur trade has been looking for. While ultimate results will not show unusually heavy profits. nevertheless the fur business has . alnod oom- parstvely steady. without the customary downward fluctuations which have occurred in the past. too frequently. Altogether, it should be a good year.

lobby of the Institute. SEAMEN'8 CHURCH INSTITUTE

Where the island of Manhattan narrows at the harbor, there looms a famous structure that thousands of seamen call home, 5 South Street. It is the Sea- men's Church Institute. founded In 1034 as a floating church. To- day it is a skyscraper, a partially self-supporting welfare organiza- tion for active seamen who need friendship. guidance. recreation. or temporary financial help. Hav- ing assisted seamen with prob- lems for more than a century. the Institute is still innovating. The latut boon to the sailor is the Alcoholics' Assistance Bureau.

Seamen have. for many rea- sons. been traditionally heavy drinkers. The Institute. however. is iritervenlng for those who stand between trouble and disaster be- cause of drink. At the club a special room has been set apart in which seamen with alcoholic problems can recover their sense of direction wlththe help of other seamen who understand their problem. When seamen with drinking pl blems come to the Institute in bad shape physically. they are given a medical examin- ation and put on a diet of whole- some food and" liquids. They are helped to understand the futility of trying to drink their way to oblivion.

This is only one of many ser- vices provided io seamen in times of personal or national emergency. In war and even d presslon the
