, , The above figures on ad- ri-itising are really astounding iihcn one considers the money is nhigiined by deductions from each pi-miiicr-i”s pclts. It shows that such .1 uciiuinc co-operative spirit and iiiliingncss on the part of fur farm- ,..5 in pay their share of adver- using has made possible the con- tinued popularity of mink and its niiit.-itions. As long as such Pm- iiintiaiial work can he kept It 8 high level there is little fear of mink passing into the realm of for- gnllcn furs as silver fox has.

aged about one dollar more than the others. increased Scandinavian shipments reflect rising mink pro- duction in those countries and they are also producing most of the mutations thst have been develop- ed in Canada and the United States. The major supplier of mink to Lhc U. S. continues to be Canada. :1- though its 1953 shipments fell off somewhat. There were 752.528 mink including wild mink and they were
317.23 per skin.
Noteworthy is the fact that Can- adian exports of mink averaged so much higher than the Scandinav- ian imports. and this is a tribute to the genius of the Canadian fur farmers who are evidently far :- head of the Scandinavians in breed- ing and developing a more market- able type. i
Women's Wear Daily. N. Y. has the fo1lowing:- ”The big use of fox as trimming on cloth fashions often in colors dyed to match, is report- ed as conspicuous in Paris collec- tions and this should be of special interest to fur trimmers in the United States. it could veryywell be the spark for a surge of inter- est in colored fox trimmings from the ready-to-wear industry in gen- eral to the coat and suit trade in particular. From rumours already circulated in the coat and suit mar- ket there is reason to believe there will soon be more of a demand for fox in pastel colors as well as brights. especially red so strongly endorsed by the French couture. These are to be used as trimmings in the new research collection.

way of the Lincoln Tunnel was a bumper to bumper trip with many long waits. There had been two or more accidents in the Tunnel and we saw one car being hauled out by n Tunnel wrecking truck with a large sign on it: "There is no charge for hauling this car." it was more than an hour before we reached the New Jersey outlet. From there on we followed the new six lane Turnpike and made good time to Wntchung and a good dinner. even though it had been kept warm for two hours. 0 0
Saturday morning we were back at the bus terminal before 8 a. m.. and made all necessary ar- rangements with the B.0.A.C. leav- ing there at 8.45 for the ldlewildc Airport in the bus that had our flight No. 651 printed on its side. We had to walk a quarter of a mile to get a document stamped at the airport. Shortly before the Btratcruiser ”Champion" w h i c h had come in from England via Iceland started we discovered that our baggage had been checked to Nassau, and that we were to call there on the way to Jamaica. A signal was sent and the baggage recovered at Nassau that has a very large level airport. As we neared the island the shoaler wa- ter appeared quite green in con- trast to the deep blue of the ocean.
Going out of the aircooled strata- cruiser into the summer heat of Nassau was almost like getting a blast of heat from an oven. On the way from New York when flying at 18,000 feet the outside air was reported at 29 deg. F and later it was down to 24 degrees F.
It was a hurt run from Nassau to Montego Bay, Ja.. and as we flew anglewlse across Cuba, there were clouds but we occasionally saw the interior of the Island and quite a little cultivated land.

We left Charlottetown on the early M.C.A. plane for Moncion. The four in the taxi had the fol- lowing destination that morning Two ladies for Boston. A gentle- man for Goose Bay, Labrador and the fourth for La Pas, Bolivia. The panorama of P. E. island farms on the way to Summersidc as we glimpsed them from time to time through breaks in the clouds re- minded one of English farms in the Midlands that we have sccn from the air with the exception of our bright red roads. that set off our Island glimpses. and addcd much to the picture as we saw it.
From Moncton the T.C.A. went up above the clouds almost at once. We did see the Peticorliac River at full tide. It was a muddy brown, but the green shares at full tide gave the landscape which included the City of Moncton added interest. Our plane was more than two hours late leaving Moncton on account of fog delay at Halifax, that morning. Saint John was shrouded in fog so that we passed by that airport but landed at Fred- cricton. N. B. We formerly had called at Blissvilie Airport when going to Fredericton and were in- lcrested to note what a fine lcvcl airport Fredericton now has. sur- rounded as it is with forest trees.

On our way again we were soon above the clouds at 4000 feet. They had a fleecy cotton wool appear- ance; with the sun shining on them these clouds with here and there a pile of cumulus clouds rearing a- way above the others; these were a snowy white and very beautiful. We were sorry not to see New Bruns- wick and Maine this time from the air. The forests. lakes and farms have always charmed us as we flew over them.
