"A casually pelt is one taken be- tween April 1 and October 30. About one-fifth of the annual vai- ume of 500,000 casualty and scrub pelts are sold by U. 5. think ranch- ers: the rest are imports. The ques- tion might be asked, with Jap mink, for example, selling at 32.34 average. is it fair to tell our ranch- ers to burn pelts which they can sell for twice that much? The answer, of course. is. yes. While imports of scrub mink pelts are definitely harmful, this is no ex- cuse for the ranchers to worsen the situation by adding their junk to them."

From London 4Eng.l Bureau of Thomson Newspapers
LONDON - At the exclusive Ken-
nel Club. in the heart of gay Pic- cadilly, the pedigrees of canine aristocrats are compiled and guarded more zealously than those of kings and barons. Nearly 00.- 000 hlgih-born dogs are registered and many new names are added daily. '
Family histories are divided lii- 1 to hundreds of different breeds and varieties. They are hidden away in hundreds of . steel cabinets. meticulously card indexed by a staff of 40 men and women work- ing unceaslngly to keep the N- cords up to date.
Both the pedigree of a register- ed dog and the names of his mas- ters are listed. Changes of oun- ershlp must be notified promptly and the fee for each change is five shillings.
To the question "Why so much fuss?" an official pointed to the Kennel Club niles now printed in the catalogue of every recognized dog show in Britain.
"No dog can be exhibited unless it is registered." the official told me. "You see. there comes a time in the history of every sport when rules become necessary in the in- terests of that sport. And tiog showing has become a very popu-4 lar national sport."
For years, he said. lack of super- vision led to frauds and irregu- larities at dog shows. There was no system of registration central authority, no code of rules

to bind organisers and animiwrl, no means of preventing promoters from securing entry fees and avid- ing payment of prise money.
Dog showing deteriorated into such I. racket that honest exhib- itors would not have anything to do with it. Even if a dog won recog- nition there was nothing to pre- vent inferior dogs from being hired out for stud purposes under the same name.
Thus. unscruplous people nith ood dogs could keep them win- nlng indefinitely by changing their names and pedigrees at different shows. -
And although faking is rare to- day. judges still keep a wawhful eye for dyed hairs or ears cropped to get cruel practice made illegal in B - Iain in 1895.
The Kennel Club was founded in 1873 for the use of dog owners throughout the United Kingdom. It: two-legged membership today numbers some 200 men and 130 women. But they keep to separate club rooms and the social facilities are limited.
Dog registration in the Kennel Club reached its peak of 120.000 in 1947. dropped to 79,000 in 1952. climbed up to 79,347. in 1953 and
this year is expected to exceed the present 80,000 mark.
The club takes an active part in the annual Ki'uft's Show held every February at Olympia and on these occasions large numbers of dog
lovers attend from overseas coun- tries, including Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zea- land. .
