Last February Britain boosted bank interest rates to curb infla- tion. The United States Wednesday

oped and prices have increased;

utook anti-inflationary action which had the effect of increasing bank ending charges. Similar action was taken by West Gennany and Belgium.

INTEREST RATE LOW

Canada is still holding the in- terest-rate line. though there have been some increases in charges on short-term government borrow- ings. There are no indications the Bank of Canada plans to increase the rate at this time, but it is known that bank officials are watching the lending carefully.

The amount of money Canadians owe for the things they buy on time totalled about 31.908.000.000 March 30, down from 31,974,000,- 000 Dec. 31. but sharply higher than the s1,'m.ooo,ooo a year ago.

At a meeting of Canada Mink Breeders held in Toronto a policy governing mink auctions was set. Though preferring to maintain last year's minimum quantities of quail- fying skins as the prerequisite for the sponsored sale, auction com- panies agreed to accept the CMB marketing board's recommendation that a minimum of 5,000 skins be set for sponsored dark mink sales

against 7,500 skins minimum when

Timely Notes On Fur Farming

Toronto appeared in Woments Wear Daily, N.Y.....”There was not one mink there on March 1 but today there are 16,m0 mink in an area where eight . t already have established and two more are in process of construction. This is what has happened in Newfound- land. It was a year ago at this same event. Premier Joseph Small- wood invited mink ranchers from the United States and Canada to set up business in his province.

At today's opening of the annual conference of Canada Mink Breed-

This is the area in which a program was instituted, he pointed out, for the sole pur- pose of teaching Newfoundlanders to utilize surplus raw products suitable for mink feed. The board directing this program feels that for the immediate future the prog- ram has been sufficiently develop- ed to the extent that it is not in- terested in assisting more ranchers in Newfoundland.

"Mr. Clouston also reported that Newfoundland now has its own fur breeders association, currently with 20 members representing 25,000 mink. including 16.500 animals at Blaketown He is president of this group. with Ralston Kerr. British Columbia. as vice president and Donald Mitchell, Manitoba, Secre- tary. In addition to reports made today from delegates from all ten provinces of Canada. the CMB con- ference heard also from two Unit- ed States speakers in Walter Tay- lor y Somers.

Twenty-two air cadets from the No. 50 Charlottetown squadron arrived home recently from a very successful summer camp at RCAF Station, Greenwood.

During their stay in, camp the boys were under FIL W. S. Mae- Leod. Officer Commanding the squadron and W0 N. N. Larabee. They followed a program .of gropnd instrucions, sports. drill-

August, he said. The Majestic name is to be woven into labels and other- wise made available much in the same way as with EMBA names. Ken Montgo y of Edmonton, Alta., noted in his presidential re- port that CMB receipts from pelts sold for the mutation mink account were up about 100 per cent. in the 11-month fiscal period ended June 30, compared with the preceding full year ended July 31. Receipts on dark mink accounts were up some 50 per cent, he said.” Many do not realize the tra- nendous support that the United Kingdom has given to the fur in- dustry through the years. li they think back to the days of Charles Dalton when he was receiving up to 32,650 for a silver fox pelt and an average of over 31,300 for 42 silver fox pelts, and then on

World War 1 they will realize what it meant to us. Now it means a great deal also to the mink ranch- ers of Canada and the United States as we note that during the first half of this year imports of these furs totalled 512,492,166. The largest part, of that amount was for shipments from the United States and the balance from Canada.

At the meeting of Canada Mink Breeders in Toronto last week the !need for early international talks ,between mink breeders of the major producing countries was pointed out by several speake 5. The question of the possibilities of he United States putting quotas agalns -mink imports was raised by Arnold W. Mulhern. executive secretary, National Board of Fur Farm Organizations.

HORNETS

. The true hornet is a European .asp (Vesha crabro). In America lthe term is applied to almost any lform of the large stinging wasp that builds a paper nest. There are 1500 known species of wasps in North America. The Vespidae (wasp) family includes 10.000 spe-

other insects. This family have a head sheath that is square; their anterior wings, when at rest, are ,folded longitudinally once; each 'being doubled on itself down the middle: its eggshaped abdomen is borne on the thorax by a slender thread. The male antenna has 13 ioints with a clubbed end, the female antenna has 12 joints with iscarcely any thickening of the em. joint. Our white faced hornet
