Vlslcono Mink Imdors

Handsome movie stars have nothing on Charlottetown's latest guests when it comes to fascinating the fair sex. There seems to'be something about mink coats, jackets and stoles that the ladies simply cannot resist. It is strictly business, however, to the members of the Canadian Mink Breed- ers' Association who are in the Province for the three-day annual meeting of the

Association which is being held at The Charlottetown. Practically all Canadian breeders of

mink belong to the association which works for the best interests of the industry in a most enlightened way. By striving to maintain and improve the quality of the product and give buyers the assurance that they always get what they pay for, the industry is kept on a sound basis.

This Province has long been vitally in- terested in fur ranching. The original home of ranched black and silver foxes, it has also gone in for the raising of other high quality furs, the most important of which at the present time is mink itself. Every part of the country has its own particular advantages. Those of Prince Edward Island are a relatively mild cli- mate, the availability of low-cost sea foods for feeding and our insular position which makes it reasonably easy to control pests and breeding practices.

During the next few days, however, we shall probably hear of the special advant- ages of many other parts of the country. All of them add up to the fact that Can- ada is in a position to produce and market top quality furs. unexcelled by any coun- try in the world.

Wide llorsus Narrow

That young persons with wide feet-the wider the better-can look forward to suc- cess in life is the finding of an English doctor who examined the feet of 200 per- sons who had ”made good." 9091p of the feet examined were much wider than the average and the remaining 1002 were by no means confined in a straight and nar- row last. To ensure scientific affirmation of his important discovery, the doctor has commissioned three general practitioners, who have no partiality towards either the wide or the narrow, to make a survey among 2000 persons in all walks of life.

As might be expected, people with nar- row soles, some of whom were under the impression that they had done fairly well in their chosen occupations, are writing indignant letters to the papers and calling the doctor everything but a gentleman. Strangely, wide-soled correspondents seem to be no less disturbed. Wrote one man to the local daily: "I've the widest soles in this town and I've never been able to put my hand on a spare shilling." To which the doctor rejoined that.there are exceptions to all rules and that 21 107E mar- gin of error is customary in all scientific surveys. That should reassure the favour- ed group, but it will make the narrow- solers more chagrined than ever. How- ever, they should not lose heart; one of these days another expert will come along with absolute proof that the doctor who praised wide soles simply did not know what he was talking about. In almost all scientific research there has to be a lot of contradictions before the real truth is finally determined.

Fishing With cnrmorants

Many techniques are employed in the fishing industry, but surely the strangest is that carried on every summer in Japan. where men and cormorants team up for the season. Along the Nagara River in cen- tral Honshu Island, Japanese boatmen take their trained birds out to dive for the rich catch of ayu, a small salmonlike fish also called sweetfish.

The partnership is an ancient one, car- ried on by traditional methods, says the National Geographic Society. For at least a thousand years, Japanese fishermen have made use of the big bird's skill in scooping up the slippery fish in their long, hooked benkss One family is reported to have pas- sed the occupation down through 18 gen- erations. The birds are controlled by a leash with plenty of leeway for swimming and diving. To keep them from swallow- ing the prize, a metal ring, strap. or string is looped tightly at the base of their necks.

After-dark cormorant fishing presents a bizarre spectacle that has fascinated many a foreign visitor. . The head fisher- man wears I ceremonial skull cap and I water-repellent gran skirt resembling a hull 00lW.m?- 4" W G?! 3ll.l!!.b9P-

ed and placed in the boats strictly ac-

cording to rank. As daylight fades, an iron basket alight with flaming pitch is sus- pended from the side of the boat to lure the fish. The dark, sinister looking cor- morants - with snakelike heads, wedge- shaped tails and webbed feet-are released in turn. An alert master may hold the reins of 12 fast-moving birds at a time. when the cormorants have filled their throats with fish, they usually swim about languidly, a hint to the boatmen to pull them in and relieve them of the catch. In order to keep up interest, the birds are sometimes permitted to eat a fish or two before going back to work. Otherwise they must wait until the job is over before re- ceiving their reward. A lively cormorant may take 100 to 200 fish an hour-an in- dication not only ofenergy but of the voracious appetite for which they are not- ed.

Fishing cormorants were introduced into Japan from China, where they had been known from time immemorial. Some pres-

ent-day Chinese use a different system. On

the Sungari River in Manchuris, the fish- ing is done by daylight. No leash is used.

are tied so that they cannot eat.

a long stick. Rebellious cormorants oc- casionally try to escape by flying off, but with their wings clipped, they cannot go far.

Cormorant fishing, both as sport and as means of livelihood, flourished in medieval England. Later, during the 17th century, an official at the court of James I was designated Master of Cormorants.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The latest volume of the Soviet Encyclo- pedia to be published covers the letters ”MA" to ”ME". Such names as Mao and Malenkov happen to be in the completed section as well as that of Marx.

The season of local exhibitions is well started off today by the 50th annual Eg- mont Bay and Mont Carmel Exhibition at Abram's Village. These exhibitions play a most important part in improving agricul- tural practice and, even more important, arousing enthusiasm in the younger gen- eration for the finer points of farming.

Mothers must be -somewhat surprised to learn of Dr. Benjamin Spock telling the Institute of Child Psychiatry at Toronto that parent education may well do more harm than good. The well-known author. lty on child care takes the view that par- ents spontaneous reactions are more de- sirable than too great concern about follow-

ing advice.

Cyprus has never been politically part of Greece. Richard the Lion Hearted took the island from the Eastern Empire and it Dassed through a number of hands. Britain assumed control in 1878 after 300 years of Turkish rule. The majority of the popula- tion is Greek, however, and there is just now a strong demand for ”enosis", union

with Greece. The Arab and Turkish min--

orities are opposed, however, and Britain has plans for developing the island as an

important base. 0 O D

Eleutherios Venizelos, Greek statesman, was born this date 1864. He was born in Crete and became minister of justice, for. eign minister and premier of Crete. He became premier of Greece in 1911. having saved the monarchy by a masterly revig- ion of the constitution. He broke with the king because he wished to take the allied side in the First World War and was only recalled to office in 1917 on" the abdica- tion of Constantine. He was also Prime Minister of the Greek Republic.

They receive no schooling be- cause there are no schools for them to at-

TERRITORIAL FAME

Sir:-It may surprise most Can- adians, but for 84 years about a third of this nation has not been called by its true name!

Maps of Canada show some 1,- -300,000 square miles called "North- l west Territ:zrics." This is not really is name at all but a real estate lclescriptior. which is not even ac- curate.

provinces or added to existing ones. Perhaps the name fell into dis- use because the Fathers of Con- federation intended to divide all the region into new political sub- divisions. This did not take place snd the remainder is still the Rupcrtsland name in the DNA Act

A Tricky Experiment

(Hamilton Spectator)

There are some deep and au- tlicntic doubts about the power of the United States Government. to "outlaw" Communism the way Con- gress now proposes. and not a few misgivings right in the Washing- ton bailiwick. F. B. I. chief J. Ed- gar Hoover and Attorney Herbert Brownell, 'who are the best quali- fied to speak of the operation of tracing and prosecuting sabotcurs, donlt. think much of the idea. There will he a wave of what. for Want of a better label could be called academic protest-sincere and un- compromising-against the use of undemocratic measures to elimin- ate undemocratic elements. There will certainly be a new shout :- bout drivlng the Reds underground to do more deadly work than they could up in the fresh air with placards to the fore.

But most noisy at all will be a fresh burst. of abuse about Ameri- can "hysteria." We might. as well admit. it, right at this juncture that some Americans are doing their best. to give that catcall potency; rarely has the Commun- ist propaganda band waggon found a more receptive world climate than it has just lately.

Australia had good reason to fear Communlsmk exploitation of labour union: for political ends.

In 1946, as its leaders subse- quently revealed. the notorious Canadian seamen's Union was used as an agent of Russian im- pcriaiism in blocking the trans- portation of supplies to Europe un- der Unrrs, with perhaps the most. outrageous display of violence and thuggery in the history of this continent. Communistrdommated unions still call the union tune in industries turning out 5 wide range of weapons for Canada's defence-even in the manufacture of materials for atomic bombs.
