Fanadtan prices of raw furs. partictilnrly mink, . beilvor and mIl!l(rM. increased an average of it per cent this year owing to ltritipv demand from European mm-ltets: Fairchlld News Service was told. here today. W. M. Rit- chie. chief of the fur Inspection and grading section of Canada's Department of Agriculture. said list in increase likely will be reflected h the price of fur coats I) the Canadian market by next

and their buyers re over here for -Canadian furs, Mr. Ritchie said. "The demand for mink. bea- . vet and muskrat is very strong.l Ind this demand is A sulting in an . increase in price." Mr. Rttchit-' could not forecast if this increased demand for Canadian furs willl result in greater production by. Canadian fur producers, but the- l965 business upturn will leave: them with greater profits for their present production. .

While the cost. to Canadians of fur coats, jackets, capes and stole: has been high in recent years.. this has been due mainly to high I labor costs; the official pointedl out. Long-hair furs such as sil-l ver, red. cross. and white fox, lynx and wolf. also are doiiig lrnproved business, Mr. Ritchie said. Prior to the war Canada exported 85 per cent of her raw furs to Europe. and during the, war had to and find other: markets. With the return of European buying power. govern-y met officials here believe that! Can da, will re-establish her form- er lucrative overseas fur trade. .

He was tormerty assistant manager of the Hut son's Bay Company's fur depart-I ment in London. His intimate knowledge of the European and International fur trade has been of special value in the Companyls operations in New York this sea- son owing to the greatly increased European interest in fine quality American mink. particularly mu- tation mink. This interest has lied to sharp increase in the number of European buyers participating directly in the Company's sales in New York.

Iawoll Hancock of Iummerside was a visitor at the Milwaukee show and recalled that in 1924 he had had four fox pups anter- ed in a Milwaukee show which was held in the Auditorium, the sums building that housed the 1955 International Mink Show. Mr. Hancock was warmly greeted by the exhibitors and many other persons who remembered him or had heard of him.

Joseph H. Francis, who will be romombored by those who attend- ed the Tutu ational Fox Breed- ers Conference h Charlottetown somo years ago. is now enjoying home life on his large ranch in Morgan. Utah. and attending to his personal business.

A half-blood buff mink owned by Walter Taylor. created a great amount of interest at the Con- necticut Mink Show. It was the largest mink that many had ever seen, weighed over six pounds and won the prize for the biggest mink in the show.

A. I. Leonard. Purina Mink Manager, has written an article entitled. What is The Right Weight For Breeders? In part it is as follows: From our experience we think It best to keep both the males and females on the fat side until a few weeks bsforo tho brooding season. This urn con- dition helps them remain healthier and they withstand the cold win- ter months better.

Mink can lose weight quickly so it Is any to bring them up or down by changing the quantity of food.

of 40 minutes. They work television performances when as many as four can been seen at one time in the water. The aud- iences at the spring tip to I50 sit in two rows of seats; from either everyone can see or photograph the actors or fish that are con- stantly moving about in the clear water.

The upper part of the . has a glass front and an air tight top so that when the water is forced out of it by compressed air the girls can breath normally. During their various performances in the water. they hold their breath or expel from their lungs the air which rises in bubbles to the surface: and secure fresh air from an air hose, carried by each as they start from the stage to perform before their audiences. who sit in comfort in a compart- ment about six feet below the level of the river. The girls in- hale air to rise or expel air to sink in the water; they also swim about and up and down with the aid of flippers attached to their feet.

h one act one girl abandons her air hose and depends upon her associate to exchange the use of her hose turn about. Finally the most experienced actor dis- cards the hose entirely and does many very complicated maneou- vres. for what seems minutes. eventually swimming hack into the stage to get her breath again. In another act one girl goes down out of sight in the spring where the water pressure is 50 lbs per square inch. and bubbles arising as she expels sir are almost as fine as drops of rain. I-ler as- sociate at a signal withdraws the hose and she swims up from the great depth into the stage again.

Turtles and some very large fish are seen from time to time. The so-called mermaids eat a lunch and drink from a bottle of pop while about 8 ft. under water. The fish take food out of their hands and quickly gather when the food is offered .them.

We also went by boat a mile or more down the Weekl Wachee River which averaged more than three chains wide and about three or four feet deep. The water was clear. Most of the bottom was covered with sand. There was be- tween the river and the highway

in a narrow strip of jungle. but on groups of two or three except for the other side natural jungle was

said to extend nine miles with many types of wild animals in it.

At intervals on either shore of the river there were pens of wild beasts. mankof these had been captured in the nearby jungle: There were alligators, wild cats, panthcrs, foxes, monkeys and deer. at several places. three or more raccoons raced along the edge of the jungle to get slices of bread thrown from the boat. In one place a monkey caught the bread. .

From Weeki Wachee we went south on No. 19 through Hudson to Tarpon Springs. the head- quarters of sponge fishermen of the Gulf of Mexico. Near the dock- side there were great piles of sponges. We saw sponges of all sizes and shapes and men grad- ing them. Some as small as puff balls and one as large as a ship's life saving buoy which it re- sembled, with an open centre large enough for I manis body. There was street after street lined with stores of souvenirs. hats, belts all kinds of shell orna- ments and jtiveiry etc.. etc. Hav- ing passed where fresh sponges were being treated we saw I printed motto: "Fishermen never die they only smell that way”.

From Tarpon Springs we fol- lowed the Gulf shore most of the way to Clearwater, there were many fine groves of citrus trees and vegetable gardens. The beaches were crowded by sun and water bathers. There were countless number. of gulls on the sand and in the air. There were many trailer camps and parking areas. These seemed crowded and it was difficult to find parking space near the shore. We crossed the Causeway out and back to the outer beach at Clea ater and then took the Davis auseway to

This years service was prepar- ed by Ilov. Jorgelina Lozada, The theme: ”Ahlde In Me". The address was given by Mrs. Mac-

The offering was received by Miss Phylis Craswell and Mrs. Bonita Sherren and dedicated and will be sent to the Women's Inter- Church Council of Canada. The meeting closed with Bene- n.
