In all likelihood Mr. Harris will be trying for a balanced budget in 1955-56, though it appears pos- sible that if economic forecasts do not hold true he will have another deficit. Despite rosy predictions for 1955. there still is considerable unem- ployment in Canada. The feeling among those assisting in prepara- tion of the budget is that the best way limited tax cuts can aid in stimulating the economy and in- creasing employment is to encour- age grealer purchases of factory goods. Helping to stimulate sales. too - they believe - would be reduc- tion in existing excise taxes. There has been speculation that Mr. Har- ris will reduce by one-third the 15-per-cent levy on automobiles and 1954-55 accounts of about Sl.'l0.000.- that there will be other cats in the 000. roughly about three per cent 10-per-cent levy on tires and tubes of the budget and the first deficit and other items.

These are referred to as "domin- ant-recessive blends". For ex- ample, it is used in the production of Breath-of-Spring mink. of which the crosses are shown below as a typical example of the production of a dominant-recess;-c blend. There are two steps in such a blending operation. The first consists of the mating of domin- ant and recessive mutant types together; the second in the mat- ing of the dihybrid progeny from the first cross, back to ,the double recessive parent. In the production of the ”Breath- of-Spring" mink. the dominant mutant is the Elufrost which is crossed with a recessive mutant type, similar to the Platinum. as shown in the following examples. A cross of Blufrost Iwith Plati- num gives the following percent- age probabilities: 5091: Blufrost fdihybrids) 5096 Standard Dark tsilverblu carriers) The Breath-of-Spring is produc- ed by mating the dihybrid of the two mutant types back to the Sllberblu or double recessive type. The following percentage prob- abilities result among the prog- eny. A cross of Platinum with Elu- frost (carrier of Platinum) gives the following percentage prob- abilities: 2595 Blue frost (carriers of Platinum) 25'-to Breath-of-Spring 252- Standard Dark fcarriers of Platinum) 251- Platinum. Note: Whenever dominant and recessive mutant types are blend- ed together in a so-called domin- ant-recessive blend. the .ianner of genetical reasoning and the two steps in mating required to pro- duce the new type blended mink Breath-of-Spring are as above. While Mink Certain difficulties are encount- cred in the production of commer- cially desirable white pelts in mink. These are: 11), Poor production associated with partial sterility in some iwhite strains (those having the lbtewart. Kohinur and Blufrost fac- tors). (2) Black colored spots on ir- regular patches of dark guard hairs in some genetic types (Homozygous-Kohinur. dihybrid- Blufrost. and Albino Genotypes). I3) Creamy or yellow colored ipelts and smudged noses and tails in Albino recessive strains. 14) Deafness in Hedlund and some Albino White recessive strains. From breeding information on the above genetical types of white mink. it would appear that pos- sibly the best types and combina- tions to raise to obtain maximum whiteness of pelts (i.e. in extent of white fur free from black spots. smudges or scattered black guard hairs and yellow cast in the fur) may be obtained from the foUow- lng strains of mink: fl) Albino- Pastel. (2) Kohinur-Albino blend. (3) Hedlund White (recessive) mink. The Albino-Pastel double reces- sive blend would seem to offer mink ranchers the easiest type of uniformly good white mink from which to produce large numbers of identical pelts with the least diffculty from genetical defects such as sterility and deal! ness. and with good production of healthy large litters. This Albino- Pastel blend is produced in a slmfiar manne to sapphires. The Kohinur-Albino (dominant-races sive) blend is analgous to the production of Breath-of-Spring. Description of Mutant Types and Blends Palomlnos The Canadian type is a reces- sive mutation. while the Minnesota type is a double recessive blend of Palomino-Pastel or Palomino. carrier of Pastel. These are yel- lowish colored mutant types. some speclmens approach an orange shade and the latter are consider- edcommsrclally an undesirable.

Royal Ruby-eyed - Pastel is the double recessive blend of Green- eyad Pastel and Royal Pastel. The pelt is known as "Topaz" and is particularly attractive when it is Stewart marked giving rise to the lighter colored pelts. These mink have a poor production re- cord which in thought to be as- sociated. with the Greeneyed Pas- tel factor present in their genetic constitution. because it is known that it is difficult to obtain good production with Green-eyed Pas- tels. Ungsva Ruby-eyed Pastel is the double recessive blend of Ungava and Green-eyed Pastels. It has a clearer and a considerably light- er colored fur than the Ruby- eyed Pastel and is a better breed- er than the Royal Ruby-eyed Pastel. Triple-blend Pastel is a triple recessive of Royal, Ungava and Green-eyed Pastpls. It has a light soft colored pelt, lighter than the Ruby-eyed double rcceulves. The addition of Ungava Pastel here- dity may further overcome the weakness in reproduction caused by the presence of the Green- eyed factor in the double reces- sives. l Herman-Pastel is a Black-eyed Pastel. double recessive of Un- gava and Royal Pastels. which has a very desirable appearing llzht brown fur with an olive shade (something like a Stewart marked Pastel) simulating wild type mink fur. it is free from the weakening effects of the fac. eyed Pastel and accordingly. they are good breeders.

A very similar type of mink is produced by crossing the above Kohinur type with Blufrost to produce a dihybrid. which is also about 9596 white. Both of the above dominant white types have clear blue white fur which is in good demand on the fur market. However. there are too many spotted animals in the litters and -other genotypes tBlack Cross) which are undesir- able pelt types. Further. the Btu- frost mutant type in the homozy- gous state is a lethal condition and. accordingly. there is fre- quently a marked reduction fz5"6) in litter size on this account. The above defects added to the fact that dominant white mink are poor breeders. make it dif- ficult for the rancher to obtain adequate financial returns from dominant white mink.

F. Verwoerd's ministry is tin- tlvo affairs. The Roman C olica are trying to keep their schools going by means of subscriptions among members. ” The Rand Daily Mail criticised the government's action and still- gested it is to "prevent the native from learning." It adds: "No minister and no government. has ever succeeded in doing that." Colored and white children never were taught together in ' I schools. Critics of the new scheme claim. however. its aim is to edu- cate the colored children to fill a role as "second-class citizens."
