THE LAST WORD IN NEW COATS

REMODELLING

P. E. l.

A committee consisting of C D. Iii-HG and Archie I-I. Csrripbcll in- terviewed the National Selective service with a view to cuxrifying the position of fur farmers in the o! men or women exempt from military service. ’Ilhe repre- senbatlves pointed out to Mr. Wm. Scott that fur farming was defi- nitely classed as agriculture in the Order in Council, defining the du. ties and powers of the selective Service Board. Mr. Scott asked that the chairman 0f ihc Council write him and request a specific ruling on this point.

Mr. Crawford was deputed to m- tel-view the Fur Administrator in Montreal to ascertain whether or not any embargos would be placed on fur exports from Canada dur- in the coming season. and also to

why the embargo was placed on fur exports at the beginning of lasli salami.

Al; the conclusion of the sessions M): Crawford thanked the mem- bers for their hard work and co- operation throughout the sessions. He felt the Council had undertaken a new number of important tasks in the interests of the fur industry. Some o! these had not been com- pleted and required to he followed up, but he was assured that the Council was now funcmionirtg pow- erfully and would prove itself ade. quote u an instrument of the fur fumin industry in dealing with its isms.

The trend of these figures lands strength to repeated warnings of finnnce minister Ilsley. Elliott M.
