Furs are going to be scarce in France this winter, quite as scarce as they were during the German occupation in the late war. Stocks are saldto be 70 per cent below normal and about 100,000 workers in all branches of the fur trade risk unemployment if the crisis continues. This situation is blamed on the sudden ' import ban im- posed by the French Government last February when French fur buyers were abroad buying skins in the dinerent foreign markets These importers had only acquired about one-third of their normal requirements when the ban was made known. The result is that .the fur trsde's skilled workers are said to have only enough work for about the next three months. As winter approaches stocks will di- minish so that women will have a very limited choice of furs and when that happens, said -Pierre Laborde, furs will "become fash- ionable owing to their scarcity. The French furriers are now mak-
ing representations to their. gov- ernment and they hope that they will be allowed sufficient foreign currency allocations to permit im- portation of skins. It is the above ban which has caused the suspen- sion oi the silver fox market in

Eladio Lamas, Uruguayan fur breeding expert, asked by a fur- rler why the nutrlas in the dis- trict of Minas. Uruguay. have a blue tint differing from the shade of nutrias in other regions of his country, said, an analysis of the waters in Minas showed that they are saturated with mineral and radioactive salts held responsible for the bluish-grey tone of the fur of the nutrias from that dis- trict. Now that this has been es- tablished, he said, the breeding of nutrias will be intensified in this district. The writer has often wondered if certain minerals fed to foxes would or would not affect the coloring of the fur. That question appears to be settled if

Wars greatly reduce food "sup- plies by removlns the workers from the land during the fighting, not only for the armed services, but for the production and trans- porta.-tioii of war mszteriais. In the more recent world wars, the devas- tation to farm lands has been great, and the forced migration of peoples from great areas has con- tributed greatly to the rising tide of hunger or want throughout many countries of the world.

The fur world was deeply shock- ed by the death of John Cobb. one of the managing directors of Aiming, Chadwick as Kiever, Ltd., London fur brokers and auction- eers, who was killed at Loch Ness. Scotland, September 29th, in an effort to break the world's speed- boat record. He was a grandson of Rhodes Cobb, founder of An- nlng at Cobb, Ltd., which was lvmrgcd in the foregoing firm in 1939. Mr. Cobb already held the sow record on land, having at- ' - 4 3t'-0 miles per hour in 1947. He was well known to many fur- .. ... uunada and was a man with in very attractive personality and well regarded wherever he went. His death at fifty-two came as a great shock to his many friends throughout Great Britain and American.

is slowly coming back into the spotlight of fashion. Sales have improved and leading fur stylists announced that women on the highest level of social acclaim are again beginning to demand fox fur pieces. The biggest problem facing the association today is the lack of funds for promotion and advertis.ng. Everyone agreed that it. is essential to educate the con- sumer and retail furrler so that women will ask for fox and the store will have it when they ask for it. A committee for the meet- ing met with Dwight D. Eisen- hower, Republlcaii candidate for President of the United States, to get his views on the issue of for- eign fur imports. Ike showed great interest in the subject and kept the article from Women's Wear Daily on the "prune deal" to read and look into. Mrs. Eis- enhower, he informed the group, has a pair of glacier blue fox skins.

ginning that resulted later in the formation of the Food and Ag- riculture Organization of the Uri- ited Nations. At first, that idea grew very slowly, but under the direction of Sir John Boyd-Orr of Great Britain, lhe foundation was well laid. O O I
World food production has risen so that it was last year about nine per cent over the five-year aver- age of the period 1934-38, before the war. on the other hand, the need for more food has greatly in- creased, as the world population is now twelve per cent greater, and numbers more than two million per- sons. It is in the under nourished countries that the food supply has
less food.
The countries that were high producers of food have greatly in- creased their production. but un- fortunately world trade has fallen off to about two-thirds of what
it was before the war. because of the difficulties of exchange and the need of dollars by the "have not" countries. The Mm-shall Plan and many other great efforts to help the situation made great contributions, but. the real need is to help the under-nourished ar- eas to improve their agriculture, and provide means whereby they can support their own people with food, clothing and shelter.
F'. A. 0., as the Food and Ag- rlculture Organization is now gen- erally known, was moved a little over a year ago, from Washington. D. c. to Rome in Italy, to better carry out the purposes of the or- ganization. only some 180 mem- bers, or about one-third of its Ltaff, were thus transported over- seas to new environments; those with families had to find new homes and new schools. they took their household goods but had to learn many new ways and speak another language. The transfer- ring of Headquarters took a great deal of energy and planning to overcome the three months of upheaval and confusion. This and the replacing and training of so many people who'had to be spec-
out
The present Director General, Dr. N. E. Dodd, tated: "In spite of these difflculti the year has marked a turning point towards greater achievement." In a prev- ious report he had explained the four major kinds of activities car- rled on by F. A. 0.

Funds were made available to F. A. O. for their part in the tech- nical assistance program, in Octo- ber lil5(l. By September, i951, work had been underta.ke.i in over 100 projects, and 213 scientific and pro- fessional workers had been secured from 32 countries and they were working in 35 nations. In order that these countries could carry on this work after it was startedfit was necessary to have local. scient- ifically traincd men in each coun- try; so F.A.O. established, under signed agreements to carry on the work, 154 fellowships and scholar- ships by the last of August. 1951. These students are now in train- ing.
There are fifteen of these tech- nical assistance projects, from Na- tional Program-Building and men- aratory missloiis, crops, live stock, etc. to rural community industries. institutions and services. These scientists and technicians are drawn from universities, experimental sta- tions and government departments from all over the world.
