Dr. George Bishop is here on a holiday visit 'and is being warmly welcomed by the many friends he made prior to going to Lexington Kentucky. The Doctoris now with the leading practitioners of veter- inary medicine in the United States. the Drs. Hagyard and I-lagyard. ,They are employed by all the large thoroughbred and standardbred breeding farms in Kentucky and their services are also sought by others in the Unit.- ed States. It has been a wonder- ful opportunity for.Dr. Bishop to be with these noted men and to ix: able to put in practice the splendid training he re-.'eivecl in me scientific part of veterinary medicine after his college course was over. He looks broiized and physically very fit. which of course is to be expected from the large amount of outdoor life he leads in his new environment. While lwrc he was noted for the prompt Attention he gave to calls. often putting himself out very consider. ably to attend to the wants of a farmer. stock raiser or fox ranch- or. While he is rising steadily in inc profession he has made his life work, we have no doubt he has fond recollections of the Gal'- den of the Gulf and will take as much opportunity as he can to see his friends here. He still has sev- eral horses and colts bred in good producing lines that are receiving daily exercise and training here Heading them is the four-year-old pacer Giihagcn 2.15 W5, that shows promise of heing I 2.10 performer the coming year.

Next spring when the play-offs roll around. the Glace Bay Miners should be better equipped than any other team in the League to hold a lead if they ever get into the driv- ers' seat. The Miners, judging from their appearances here. know only one style of play and it is strictly defensive. Never was that point more fullv illustrated than it was last night at B. game which pro- video the least action and poorest hockey from a spectatorsl point of vieiv since the season began.

t . . It goes williout saying. of course. that the Miners were playing under difficult conditions last night. They were short-handed starting the game and on top of that they lost Bill Mrrcracken in the first period. On defeiisc they had onlv one sea- soned perfornier. Coach Huh Mncev deserves credit for heinz able to put up such it masznlficent defense and on paper he skated off with- out too bad a defeat but from 51 financial single his defensive style of hockey is plain suicide.

.. . . Whether or not the Miners olar the same type of game at home we are not prepared to say. However. if thev do they li'-ven't far to look to the cause for lhelr poor attend- ances. You can't play live i'l'1E"l back of the blueline all iilizlit and hope to entice people through the turn- stiles. Conslderinrr the condition of the ice the Islanders played a strong game but it takes more than one team to make it a crowd pleas- ing exhibition.

. . . Macey had the following reasons for playing such a tight defensive game last night. It was the Miners' third game in three nights and be- sides that they play again in Glricc Bay tomorrow night. The night be- fore last they played and defeated? Halifax 6-4 in the Nova Scotia can- itai. They were playing without the services of Bob Cooper who will be out of action for four weeks with a twisted ankle.

Islanders Score Easy 3-0 Shutout Over. Glace Bay Miners At Forum -

The Charlottetown Islanders kept pace with the Sydney Millionaires last night in their battle for sec- ond plnceiby scoring a 3-0 victory over the Glace Bay Miners in an off-color hockey game at me Forum.

Held off the score sheet for two periods by the close checking Min- ers, the islanders finally broke through in the final stanza to beat an over-worked Don Lockhart in the Glace Bay net on r three oc- caslons.

Rookie Chuck l-loldaway. 20-year- old westerner fired two of the is- landers goals after being set up by Buck Whltlock. Hard checking Ronnie Iliirst scored the Islanders first goal two minutes and thirteen seconds after the start of the last period.

Goaltender Al Miller had an easy night with a. few anxious moments in the Islanders net as he racked up his second shutout of the week. Al had only 14 shots directed his way but at least five of them were dangerous drives.

Don I.-ockhart. on the ollier hand had 46 shots to turn aside, and Don was certainly the busiest man on the ice. In the first period alone he stopped 17 shots, many of the? of the difficult variety. Well ov half his stops. however, were of the long range class.

A combination of poor ice and close Glace Bay checking provided the fans with a lack-luster game of hockey. During the first two periods the Miners lay back in their own end and it was soon evident that they were interested only in defense.

Miners Suffer Loss

The Miners suffered it severe loss around the four minute mark in the first period when forward Bill Maccracken was sandwiched between Ronnie Hurst and -Orval Lavell of the Islanders. Maccracken suffered a shoulder separation and

So many inquiries are being re- ceived about beaver.csuch as how many we have in the Province, the price of their pelts. how they are graded and how to skin and "stretch their pelts that I will devote a lit- tle space in this column to the subject. It is this columnist's op- inion tha'. the maximum number of beaver in the province does not exceed 150. There are some who will not agree wl' this figure but we will have a pretty fair idea of how many we had at the coin- mencement of the open season when the returns are received. In this connection the Department con- cerned (Industry and Natural Re- sources) would like to have returns regarding the number of beaver trapped this season in by the first week in Januarv. 1953. t 0 0

Beaver pelts are skinned the same as one would take the hide off a beef and are cured tacked to a door or other large square of wood. The trick is to stretch them fls round as possible. If a trapper can shape a beaver pelt into a complete circle so much the better. They are grud- ed as blaiikets-extra large-1aree- medium and small. A "blanket" bea- ver pelt is one that measures (15 inches and over. To obtain a cor- rect measurement the pelt must he measured from the nape of the neck to the tall butt and then mea-
