It was an exceptional day not only on account oi the attend. anee but also because of the invar- iably good qualitypin many re- spects excellent quality, of the exhiblm, Silver fox taming has no doubt improved very much since two years ago when the last show was held and that was the opin- ion of practically all the foxipen present. The reason for this is that the new types have multiplied probably four times and naturally ranchers have a larger selection of good foxes. but the silvers have not been neglected as was evidenced when the champions and grand Championships were awarded in "l! mominlf and groups and herds were shown.

One hundred and seventy people will be thrown out of work in Sum- merside on Friday as the result of the closing down of the dehydrat- ion plant. A nouncement that the plant, which is operated by the Island Foods Inc., would close was made yesterday" afternoon by Mr. A. A, Scales, president of the com. pany who made public a telegram received from the chairman oi the Special Products Board, Ottawa, which reads as follows;

"British Food Mission has asked for immediate cancellation of con- tract. In the circumstances we cannot accept goods processed af- ter November 23."

The telegram was only received yesterday morning and in making it necessary to close the plant so abruptly the company is unable to iiiye the statutory seven days’ no- tice. The staff will work two days and will receive four days’ pay.

While it W1C’: reported some time ago that all dehydration plants in the Maritimes would have to close it was hoped that they would be able to continue operations for most of the season. .

Commencinz operations in the sprinu 0i’ 1943. right after eon- struction of the building had been completed. this plant has been in operation ever since. producing mmv- tons of dehydrated potatoes for overseas. In the lost full sea. son ‘I00 tons of finished product had been shipped which meant that 250 curlcads of potatoes had been processed. The contract for this reason called for a 90 percent Ans-plug“, , , ,,.,.-;. .. .1.

Asked as to whether the plant could be put- to any other use, Mr. Scales said that "the management have no definite plans at present whereby they can tzlva employment except to a re- latively small extent. nor have thcv are rieiluite nlans for the utilizat- icv- of the rilnnt".
