some of his mink, ruined the pelts, stunted the growth and upset re- production of others. The suit was against Atco Co, and Delta Oil Products Co. , distributor a n d manufacturer, respectively, of a product called ‘Penta—mix’.

The rancher, Mr. Smith, claim that AItco was negligent in placing the product on the market, and should have known that it was dangerous to animals, including mink. Smith said that he had dipped the nesting boxes in a sol- ution containing the preservative. ’he had lost 1,176 mink valued at $24,596.

Some of the mink survived, Smith said, but the lose on the pelts represented another $4,104. ADVERTISING PAYS

The Hudson’s Bay 00 any, oldest in the world, believes in advertising, and watching the re- sults of that advertising in Wo- men’s Wear Daily‘. New York, we can see why, with the valuable enperience‘they have had and their facilities for handling of furs, they are so successful.

In the latest issue of ‘Women’s Wear, Daily’ they have two full- page ads for the account of the Mutation Mink Breeders Associat- ion, who are offering on Tuesday, J u-ne 10 through Tuesday, June'17, the following dressed mink: 70,000 Autumn haze; 4,000 Homo Autumn Haze; 7,000 Desert Gold; 25,000 Diadem; 5,000 Tourmaline; 20,000 Lutetia; 50,000 Cerulean; 4,000 Azurene; 3,5000 Jasmine; 32,000 Argenta; 105,000 miscellaneous mutation mink; 10,000 raw Ell/EBA mutation mink. .

These mink are the products of ranches throughout the length and breadth of the United States, and possibly some of them are con- signed by Maritime breeders. It is‘ the largest collection that we. have ever seen ofifered at one sale. . ' " '

The statistics bureau at Ottawa has issued a report which states that fur production in Canada dc- clined in the 1956—57 season for the second successive year, both in quantity of pelts taken and value, according to the bureau’s latest annual report. ' ' FEWER PEALTS

Mr. Harkness made his state- men-t in reply to a written ques- tion by Mr. C'hevrier about the dismissal of Walter Mitchell of Montreal, an agriculture depart- ment employee at the port there.

The minister said Mr. Mitchell was dismissed last month.

Mr. Hark-ness said he received “complaints” that Mr. Mitchell had been an “active political or- ganizer" for Mr. Chevrier in the last two elections and later re» ceived information that Last Nov. 29 Mr. Mt‘c'hell was found in pos- session of contraband liquor and contraband American cigarets.

The minister said on Mr. Mit- chell’s own admission he had ob- tained the goods from ships in the port while carrying out his duties as checker. .

The department could not coun- tenance that conduct, Mr. Ila ness said, and he had ordered Mr. Mitchell’s dismissal.
