Lowell has been a tower of str gth to fur farming in this pro nee for many years, and has given freely of his time and knowledge to help others make a success of it. He is well acquain- ted with every phase of fox and mink farming, and in the old days when fox shows were held, he was always one of the top contestants, and the same is true when he ex- hibits at mink shows. -

His oontriibutions to publicity, and his Maritime Fur News are read and have been the means of helping many others to produce better foxes and mink. We are glad to know that he has a good‘ turnout this season, and that he secured very satisfactory prices for last year's output.

Get $39,500 In Holdup Of Credit Union

QUEBEC (‘CIP)——-Three armed men Wednesday held up the St. Fidele Ciaisse Populaire (Cedit Union) in Quebec City’s Limoilou district and ﬂed ~w'ith an es- timated $39,500 in cash.

The men, their faces covered by kerc-hiefs and wearing sun glasses, entered the branch two minutes before the 3 p.m. closing time?‘ I 5 ~ They forced the manager and four other members of the bank staff to lie on the floor. Then they swept cash from the draw- ers in the three tellers’ wickets into two paper shopping bags.

A customer who entered the branch while the holdup was in progress was forced to join the staff members on the floor. When the cash was packed one of the bandits left the premises and drove a car through a drive- way to the back door of the bank. His two companions then ordered the staﬁf and the customer into

the door and fled in the car. The holdup was carted out in nine minutes.
