still more Russian furs are corn- ing into the United States. Just a few days ago a firm in New York bought from Asrntorg 'Tradi.ng Corporation, which is Rlussien through and through, ooo,ooo Rus- 'sian squirrel at a reported aver- age of 81.00 each. which means t600.00o. This is Just one item to show the close connection between certain fur merchants in New York and the Soviet government trading firm. '

Montreal retail furriers held a big show in the Windsor Hotel last week. Retail and manufactur- ing furriers burned out in great strength for an afternoon pre- view of the second annual com- bined showing of next winter's fur in which 48 retailers showed a joint collection of '76 mode's. The showings continued the next two days and the proceeds of the first day's program were given to the relief fund of Rimouski, Que. Coats presented are medium and better priced, including more ex- pensive furs which dominated the second half of the showing. Per- sian lamb, Sliverblu Mink trim-
med, gray Persian lamb, brown Alaska sealskln, muskrat and other furs were featured. also
mink and Platina Fox stoles and capes and a prettily worked Eil- ver Fox cape. All were splendidly modeled and the show was con- sidered a great success.
The annual meeting of the Canadian National silver Fox Breeders" Association will be held at the Fort Cumberland Hotel. Amherst, N. S, Thursday, June 8. The meeting of directors will be held the day previous at the same hotel.
Arthur Pram! . Manager, Can- adian Fur Auction Sales Com- pany, Ltd, Montreal, in a busi- ness tour through the U. S. A. call- ed on the editor of the National For News, Denver, Colorado. who quotes Mr. Prentiss as saying: "I have always been a strong believ- er in Silver Fox and they are on the way back--slowly of course-- but the movement is forward. There are only about some for in Canada and in my opinion perhaps the same number in the U. S. A.
The days of easy selling of manufactured furs have gone by and retailers are now realising that they have to hustle and ad- vertise. Varous types of publicity are used lncludng of course gan- erous splashing of printer's ink. Further plans include radio, tele- vision, and fashion shows and now there is an endeavor in the United States to promote a na- tional fur week, sponsored and arranged by a national fur in- stftute. It would be devoted to the year round promotion of furs and the building of public confidence in the industry. It is hoped to have it represent the entire industry. particularly the fur farm -- the man who produces the palts on which depends the industry's existence.
The Colorado fox farmers had a good get together some time ago at Denver and we note such well known farmers as Bert Avery. Barry Lee, John E. MeNeill, (son of "Ollie" McNeill, Fort Qu'Ap- peile), I-lorry Ohristman. Melville Dahl and others. It was brouzht out in the disculions that number of fox farms in the Unit- ed states had declined from over 8,000 in 1039 to less than mi in 1950 and that the time had arriv-

and the foot note reads-Colorado fox farmers gather at Ralston Hotel in the heart of Colorado's fox industry for the most e1thu- siastic meeting the group has held in the past tan years. Colorado
still has 185 female foxes out of'
the estimated 8.000 new in the en- tire United States. Colorado is now third in number of breeders being exceeded only by Wisconsin and Michigan.
It seems to the writer that the estimated number of 8.000 females for the entire United states is rather on the low side. It must be remembered that a few years ago Promm's were carrying 10.000 fe- males and their cousins the Nie- ma.n's, 10,000 more for breeding purposes. We know both these concerns have out down tremend- ously but would think they must be carrying at least 4,000 female: between them. If so that would

cause our fish fed are of the salt water variety and also because most mink ranchers also feed meats and a variety diet. As far as we know, there has not been any trouble from the above source but it might be well for ranchers, who feed fish in large quantities to keep a close check on their kits this season.

1. In August. 94 persons mot violent death on Ontario roads. while the first eight months of 1940 has a record of A0 fatalities, the highest record for a similar period. What have the powers that be done to meet this prob- lem?
The Ontario Minister of High- ways, Honorable George H. Dou- cett, has carried out a vigorous Highway Safety programme, part ofwhich was putting into the hands of every pupil in Ontario public schools leaflets on High- way Safety care to take home. 2. What advice did the Minister of Highways give?
"More than 800,000 vehicles are registered in Ontario, and 1.200,- 000 licensed drivers . . The safe- ty od persons using the road de- pends not on the other fellow'. but on every one of us personally; we are each responsible for the safe condition of our own car. and the safety of standards of

3. How numerous are the con- victions for bi aches of the High- way Traffic Act?
There were 15000 breaches of the Criminal Code Traffic Pro- visions last year, an increase of 68 per cent from 1941.
4. How many of these were due to the mechanically unsafe con- dition of the vehicle driven?
Ten per cent of these convic- tions, or 7.500 of the 75,600 (sev- enty-five thousand) convictions were for driving a vehicle not in mechanically safe condition.
5. How many were due to cars- ' or an accident on the part of drivers or pedestrians?
67,500, or 90 per cent of the 75.000 convictions.
B. were children and people the helpless class involved?
July fatalities included I pass- engers, no drivers. to pedestrians. Of the pedestrians, 7 were chil- dren under 10. and 4 were over no years of age. Thus 80 per cent were among the older and youns- er ago groups-the more help- less groups.
An analysis of Ontario's traf- fic toll shows this most tragic fact that more than twice as. many children were killed as in Sep- tember of last year. Compared with lo child victims last Septem- her. this year the same month brought death to 31 children und- er I6 years of age. Four of these were ,.a.ssengers in cars.

accidents due to drinking on the
-part of drivers or pedestrian?
, Professor Josiyri Rogers, on. tsrio's official consultant on crim- mil 35593. has set the standard of 5 per cent of the serious cases
,of traffic accidents that have icome before him as being caused by intoxicating beverages. Thus of the 740 kiiltd in motor occi- dents in Ontario in 1948. there were 393 drink caused, according to this estimate of averages.
8. What is the record of huh- way fatalities for the first nine months of 1949?
A Canadian Press news item on October 8th tells this story; Ontario's death rate toll from highway accidents during the first nine months of this year Ls reported at 500 persons, an in- crease of 20 per cent over the same period of 1911!. an indica- tive of 1949 establishing an all- time high.
9. Since in the words of Pro- fessor Joslyn Rogers we have of- ficial recognition of drinking as a large factor in causing highway accidents, is not increased facil- ity in securing liquor parallel with increased numbers of highway accidents?
It would seem so. The increase of licenses for the sale of liquor during the last five years is nota- worthy. In 1914, there were 1634 licenses, now there are 4,140 in 1.819 establishments. which means an increase of zoo licensed prem- ises since 1944, Since the Liquor License Act of 1910 there have been 340 new licenses in we ea- tablishments.
10. Is public opinion indifferent to these facts?
There are signs that the public mind is being aroused by thesa facts, as shown by local option contests. During 1948 in 29 mu- nlcipalities there were 66 queg. tions as to increased liquor solo outlets submitted to voters. To Ad of these 66 questions the answers were negative. The total popular vote registered in favor of ad- ditional liquor outlets was 36.38. Those opposing increased sale outlets in their community num- bered 4l.434-a mziiority of over 8,000 votes.
iii. What is the personal duty of each Christian as to the High- way Traffic Menace, which is so greatly increased by the drinking driver?
To inform herself on the expo; facts of the Traffic Problem as affected by drinking and to let these facts be widely known- exact informiftion graciously made known.
To use her influence, example. talent and means in loyal service of the temperance cause with a. sincere Christian regard for the welfare of others, and to pray that temperance leaders may be bles- sed and guided.
