Fox fur production now entails for its Canadian backers frequent trips to New York. London and Paris where they dig into tng problems of promotion, demand and design. with the people in those fields.
Canada had in the 1930: about 6.000 fox breeders producing mar-. ""3" 11300-000 wits a year. The 200 still in the business are con. Vlnced they are. on the road back to that point. Currently they are producing about 10.000 pelts an. nuaily.
Bristol Note:
..'We regret to chronicle the passing of Mr. William Tobin. in t e Charlottetown Hospital on
onday evening after a long ill- ness. He had been in the hos- pital for three months. In his seventy-ninth year Mr. Tobin was the last living member of a fine family. His funeral was held on Thursday morning from his old home to the Church of the Little Flower in Morell, where he had served as janitor for many years. High Mass was sung by his pastor Rev. P. Mcxenna, who also con- ducted service at the grave.
The prospects of hockey here this winter seem very slight as the rink built only a few years ago has been left to ruin and any hockey will have to be played on outside rinks.

'A government crew is complet- ing the last stages of the new Mon- tague bridge. Durln! the put week the railings on both IPPYUIW" were put in place thus lending thi appearance of a bridge almoll twice as long as its actual length. There remains only the completion of 5 portion of sidewalk and the in- siallatirin of a. light standard on each approach. when the whole is completed, the bridge will be one of the finest in the province suf- ficiently wide both in roadway and sidewalk and well lighted.
The bridge is now one of the biggest assets of the town as it forms I cgnnecting link with the northern part of the county Ind the pavement leading to the Wood Island ferrw. A portion of the Sev- en Mile Road lending to Sourll having been paved this year, it is possible that the remainder. or at least another portion will be com- pleted in 1965. When this link is connected, it may well be expected that a considerable amount of produce will move over this road in it southerly direction to pass direct- ly over the Montague bridge. Not only then will the bridge benefit the community but also the county as a. whole.
It has been stated that more traf- fic passcs over the Montague bridge ln'nn hour than any other bridge in the Province in the same time. Whether or not this is true. there existed without question a consid- erable bottlencck at this important point. This has now been removed, not only for the present but also for the foreseeable future.

OTTAWA (OP) - An arm-long program la building up for the me session of Parliament that nopena Jan. 7.
Apart from what develops after the New Year, there seems to be enough prospective business on band now to keep the legislators going for a few months.
It was evidently with this in mind that the government called the sitting as close to Jan. 1 as was practicable-breaking conven- tion by starting on a Friday-and decided to start off with a rush by squeezing in the start of the throne speech on the first day.
GET PRIORITY
Once the throne speech debate is out of the way. two measures are expected to get priority. one is a. series of amendments to the Unemployment Insurance Act de- signed to soften the effect of win- ter unemployment. which needs fast passage if it is to be effective this winter.
Unemployment insurance bene- fits, it is reported, will be in- creased for higher-paid workers and the minimum period for bene- fits may be extended.
The second measure to get a clear track is ratification of the Paris agreements which Canada and other countries must approve before West Germany is admitted to the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganisation. This probably will open the way for a. general debate on external affairs.
Assuming that Prime Minister St. Laurent and Premier Dupiesaia of Quebec come to terms on their taxation differences, there likely will be legislation solidifying them and extending any federal conces- sions to the other provinces. How- ever, prospects are that a. general federal-provincial conference will precede any such legislation.
Action to overhaul the rules of the commons is likely. Many mem- bers complain that existing proced- ural rules allow business to be slowed up and sessions unneces- sarily protracted.
CULTURE COUNCII
Prime Minister St. Laurent re- cently indicated that steps will be taken to set up a "national coun- cil” to stimulate the development of Canadian culture in line with a J commendation of the Massey royal commission on arts and sciences. Arnold Hcency, United states' ambassador, is mentioned as a possible head of the council.
It is expected. too, there win be legislation to revise the formula under which the treasury makes grants to municipalities in lieu of taxation on federal property. This was due at the 1953-54 session but got sidetracked.

Withdraw one charge Against Berginann Firm
The following item is taken from a recent issue of the Toronto Star:
WI-IXTBY, Ont...-One of two ch.s.rges against the Bergmann Construction Co. in the highways department cases was withdrawn here before Judge John E. Prlt- chisrd. The crown said it would proceed on a charge of fraud in connection with payments made to the firm for highway work in the Huntsville district.
No pleas were entered by the firm or any of the four men charg- ed, but trial by judge without a jury was chosen. Judge Pritchard eet Nov. 25 for the hearing.
Charged with the firm are the president, Walter Bergmann: John A, Wat. superintendent. of the GOMDIDY: Donald J. Patna-son. highways department engineer at Huntsville, and William Leonard Bredin, an instrument man.
Cecil H Nellon. former chief engineer who was committed for trial along with the others on July 20, died in September.
The C0MDiracy-to-defraud charge on which they all had been com- mitted was changed to one of fraud. the some action as was taken a month ago when the Tomllnson Bros. Ltd. construction firm was fined 8100.000 at Port Arthur.
The second charge dropped by the crown named Bergmann, West, Nelson and Harry Phipps, assist- ant division engineer at Fort Wil- liam.
David G. Humphrey, assistant special prosecutor on the high- way cases. said the second charge was being dropped for lack of evidence. .
"Since it was laid, the internal audit of the department has gone over the contract very thoroughly. We are now not in a position to prove overpayment to the Berg- mann company on the contract," Mr. Humphrey said.
Patrick Hart. Toronto, appeared for the fbrgmann firm, Bergmnnn and West. They were released on 310,000 cash bail. Beecher Menzies was counsel for Patterson and Bredin who were released on 35,000, and s2.ooo bail respectively. i
The charge that was drcpnedi involved a winter road at Dog Hole Bay in Northwestern On- tario, while the charge which the crown will proceed with concern: construction of a trans-Canada highway link to Highway No. 69.
