Good manners are not so evident among the young now as they were sixty or seventy years ago l was led to reflect on this phen- omenon when I read. a few days sgo, on the front page of The Guard- ian, that youth today did not de- fer to its elders as formerly ii. did. To a great extent this ls due to the elders themselves who have el- lcwed youth to throw off all inni- hltions and to consider itself an equal long before it he; the te- sponsibility or experience that the position demands. In my school days the elders of the community had not yet sti- dlcaied. The schoolboy was taught good manners in the scliJol 1nd at home too, but after the rnunncr of all schoolboys, what was taught at school was believed to be of more importance. When a stranger or indeed any visitor entered ti.e school, we all, boys and girls, ruse and remained standing till the schoolmaster waved us to our seats. We carried out this ceremony at home too. for had not the “msLs- tor" declared it to be good mun- ners? and who wanted to be known us a ill-mannered young‘ cub? At. home we were given some point- ers on sitting. It was ungrscelul. though perhaps not unmanneriy, to sit cross-legged. It was worse tn tip one's chair back or forward, so that it rested on two legs. (It put all the strain on the wesktst joint of the chair, and it invariably dug holes in the floor covering, for the legs of a chair get as sharp as a. knife, at the bottom edge.) The "maistor" taught us to knock at the door if we wished to cuter. There might be some circumstances (we gathered) that would put the. occupant at l disadvantage if we entered without knocking, "Put yourself in his place,” said he. The '“'_‘ point was well token.

You A rancher called us up a couple |of days ago and said that he had found four of the foxes he had put out the preceding day dead the next morning and wondered what was the cause. When asked the condition he said that thev were wet and had sDDflTently been out all night. We told him it was quick pneumonia and that certain foxes that could stand any amount of cold if taken out of the sheds and exposed to cold rain during the night developed a type of pneu- monia or something akin to it that would cause death quickly- The above is a ivamlng to us all to Judge the weather a bit ahead and not put foxes that have been housed in sheds, particularly pups, out in open pens this time of year when it is litely to tum lo rain during the night. if the rancher had thought of it and had closed them in the houses they would have been all right. The production of mink in this Province will be considerably en- hanced in 1947 because of the ar- rival during the past month and the next two Weeks by shipments of Sll-ver-Blu and natural mink from the United States and Canada. booking back it is s pity we did not go into mlnk farming earlier. We certainly missed a good bet there as even with the lower prices paid for mink pelts this season— some say 33 1-3 percertt- yet there ls s. good profit to the rancher and there ls likely to be s. good demand for mink for years. The cost of equipment is very little and the 60st 0f feed lets than one-third that of a fox. While it is not likely that we can breed all the different types and it may not be worth while- yet if we standardize on a few of the more popular such as Silver Blu. natural mink in dsik and light we can easily shift to produc- tion of other types later on i! the trend appears that way. district.
