said Captain Warren: "Governor Mecorty, we accept these keys and assure you and the City of Tampa that they won't be misused."

The two hour long parade that had formed then moved in a seemingly endless match from Plant Park along Franklin Street and Bayshore Blvd. More than 3000 persons took part. in this gor- geous parade that wound for three miles through the heart of Tampa. The official can leading the fest- ive procession carried Governor Dan McCarty and high ranking Air Force, Navy. Marine and Coast Guard officers to the Florida State Fair Grounds. There were sixty magnificent floats costing a. total of more than 375,000.00. Inter- spersed among these were forty bands with 1500 musicians drawn from as far south as Key West and from Valdosta and Tlfton, Georgia on the north. More than half of these were high school bands with their baton-swinging. high stopping colorful majorettes. One of these in her enthusiasm swung her baton so it flew out of her hand and struck B. lady, who had to be treated in hospital. There were Military Academy, University and U. 5. Marine Corps Bands.

The 200 gally-costumed pirates had time for lunch before they joined the rear of the parade to entertain those who had occupied seats for hours or stood from 10 to 12 deep along the whole line of march. Various estimates of the throngs were given from 500,000 to 800,000 people and the traffic bur- eau plane radioed, "the crowd ap- peared as large as last year's and Bayshore is packed."

In the clean-up that followed the resplendent Gaaparllla parade, Tnmpals Sanitation Superintendent said in their "big sweep" they gathered 25 tons of litter. There were thousands of newspapers paper cups, sandwich wrappers, popcorn boxes and other miscel- lnneous items including pennies and an occasional nickel left after small boys and souvenir hunters had gathered their toll.

Forsees Record Production In 1953

OfI'1"AWA, (GP)-Record na.tlon- al production of s24,000,000,000 in 1953 was predicted Thursday night by Finance Minister Abbott in his bubget speech.

Mr. Abbott said he was basing his bubget on the assumption that the value of national production will increase by approximately sl,000,000.000 from the previous peak of 33.000.000.000 in 1952.

"My estimate assumes, of course, that we will not experience ex- tensive crop failures nor serious lndusiu-ial,work 5 ed."

The national production figure rapvments the value of all the

W goods and services produced in a

year by Canadians. The figure is used to estimate the yield from taxes at various rates. It plays an important part in the shaping of taxation pollcim.

The production forecast was con- tained in a 7,200-word fiscal portion of the budget speech: a portion procedlng another covering tax changes. The fiscal portion dealt largely with points covered in an economic White Paper, tabl- ed Wednesday in the Commons.

The White Paper forecast a sur- plus of s-i7,816,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31. The surplus was the seventh in a row, but the smallest reported by Mr. Abbott since he became finance minister in 1046.

Finance Minister Abbott dia- olosed this Thursday night in his budget speech in the Commons in explaining why estimated expendi- tures of S4, 327,000,000 for 1952-53 was 357,000,000 more than he had anticipated.

One item he had been able to forecast, he said was "the 842.000- 000 which should be taken into this year's accounts in connection with our price support policy for beef and pork which in turn was was a result of the difficulties ensuing from the outbreak of root- and-moutlh disease last spring.”

The figure was the first official estimate of the cost of the support program for beef and pork insti- tuted when the foot-and-mouth outbreak was discovered 3 year 380 in sokawliowan and resulted in a United States embmo glzalnst Canadian livestock pr Pfe- vlously there was an unofflclnl estimate of some

On offering of standard ranch mink at the Edmonton Fur Auction sales was 30 per cent sold. Good quality standards brought from 319. to 322 for males, s10. to 511.50 for females. Ordinary males brought 313. to 318. and females 58.50 to 39.50. Marten was in limited de- mand, reaching it top of :35 for dark colors. Ermine ranged up to 51.80 for extra large.

In Women's Wear Daily East- wood dt: Holt are advertising the first and only offering thlsiyear of 150 Ambergold mink, the newest and finest pastel shade. It is certainly the first we have heard of this new type which we presume is a ligihter shade than the regular mink. They are also offering 5,000 ranch mink, 40,000 EMBA mutation mink and the first and only of- fering this year of 1,500 EMBA Topaze mink. It is remarkable how many new mutations are turning up in mink and shows the versa- tility of the breeders in the United Staltes. of course with new muto. tlons there is usually 9. deterlm-a. trim in the original types that are part of the mutation litter until one gets the strain thoroughly established.

There was a good attendance of buyers at the Winnipeg Fur Auction Sale last week when 34.686 winter and fall mush-rats were sold from the Manitoba government provincial reserves. They were all disposed of. Prices from the Delta reserve ranged from 31.24 for extra large and large to 78 cents. From the White Water reserve extra large 51.55 to 96 cents. That was the best prices of all reserved. A considerable amount of credit for the establishment oi muskravt reserves in western Canada is due to W. 0. Douglas of the Hudson's Bay Company. who laid the ground work that brought them into opera- tion some years ago. He also was the means of setting up ll number of beaver breeding grounds and as H. result the provinces and those taking care of the reserves are now reaping the fruits of his planning.

The final prices at the 1". C.

Taylor Company mink vendue at I

st. Louis, Mo. allowed an "ease oif". Attendance was smaller than previous 1953 sales and it was ex-

plained that Canadian buyers who-

had beer. attending since December had returned borne and were do- lng their buying by telephone.

And now here's the latest on Topaze, the new mink mutation that made its market ddbut in New York recently. Topaze, the” newest of the mutation mink famil , made its debut in the market and reach- ed ll top price of 0280 at 'ii.. Ii - Exchange of Eastwood A: Holt, New York. Tile first offering of 1750 of the now mutations was made before a padked house, at the Governor Room of the Hotel Governor Clinton. Monkoted by the Mutation Mink Breeders As- sociation. ifhe new ruby-eye muta- tion is described by the producers as "soft gold in color like the jewel for which it is named." Trade observers describe it as It golden version of a ruby-eye pndtel.

Most of the bidders fell out of the running by the time the price had been up to 3150, with Neiman Marcus reportedly giving Rlttcr the stlffeslt competition for the top bundle. Top females brought :70. The offering was re- ported l00 per cent sold by the auction house. Five lots including the top bundle brought over 3100. The remainder of the males ranged from 540 to 592.50. Females ranged from 528 to 370.

Another feature of the Fur Ex- change sale was the first offering of the season of pelts from Fromm Bros. a major producer, which re- cently became associated with the auction company and is new marketing its mink exclusively through Fur Exchange. Fromm's offered over 14.000 pelts, about 8,000 dressed and 6,000 row. The raw mutations were reported 90 per cent sold with levels generally quite flrrn to line market. Raw royal pastels hit ll top of 945.50 for males and 324 for females. Males. ranged mostly from 528 up, females from 315 up. Razw silver- blu platinum hit a too of 338.50 for males and s18.25 for females, with males mostly cold from :17 to 332.50 and females from 312 up. Raw Stewart sllverblus reached a lop of 554 for males ranging in price from 336.50 and up. Two female lots brought :13 eaolh. Breath of Spring sllvelfbus hit 866 for males and 331 for females. '

An offering of over 6000 stand- ard runoh mink was reported '75 to 00 per cent sold, reaching a top of 333 for males. Particular strength was shown by Fromm's Cerulean sapphire drmlled goods.

To determine the effect of D.C-A. (Desoxycorticosterone acetate) on blood pressure, Drs. Stiles 3-lld Stone selected for study three 119?- uons who had been observed many years and who had every evidence or proper or normal heart and blood-vessels. excelll lllllll blwd pressure was below normal.

Arte;-. four days observation to determine the norm or nomllll condition of heart and blood-ves- sels, D. C. A. was injected into the muscles daily and a series of blood pressure readings were laken 3-5 before. The first day each Plttient was given 5 mg., the second day one was given 5 mg. and two were given 20 mg., and the third day one was given 10 mg., and two were given 20 mg. each. After sllllllt D. C. A. to these three persons with nutritive failure and low blood pressure, blood pressure reading: and body weight increased. when D. C. A. was discontinued. blood pressure readings promptly 1'9" turned to their normal.

The thought then is that when there is underweight. and low pres- sure, it would be well to try to ac- quire an increase in weight as this would help to raise the blood pres- sure. Naturaily a poorly nourished underweight individual, though perhaps safer from brain and heart strokes, that normal or overweighta, nevertheless has less strength, less "light" in him. '

The thought, then, is that keep- ing at normal weight for height and age is a good lnvutment in health as it enables us to be at our
