(AP Wirehopto) The seveneth annual fur dash- lon previews were staged in Mon- treal last week, and 17 of the 20 aw ard s went to Montreal manufacturers. The remaining three went to Toronto firms. A- wamds were made in 19 garment categories, and there was a two- way tie in the Black Persian Lamb category. Three Montreal manufacturers succeeded in winning two a- wards each. Next year the show will, in all probability, be held in Toronto. The Hludson’-s Bay Company flur sales in New Yorlr last week had a turnover ranging from 89 to 100 per cent in the various types. P r i c e s for the regulars, stewarts, and homozygous goods were called “very firm” to the last sale in April, with an under- lying tone of light strength” by an H.B.C. spokesman. The col- lection was termed “ordinary”. Here are some of the reported prices: Autumn Haze (regul-ars) — 38,289, were 93 per cent sold. Top prices for males was $44, fie-males $17.75. Stewarts, 26,241, were 89 per cent sold with a top price of $42 for males, females $21, Desert Gold brought a top price of $36 for males and $14.50 for females. IMPROVED DEMAND The salesroom comment was that pastel minlr sold at prices very near February levels. with widespread buying ‘boosting turn- over into the 90 per cent brack- et. The room was delightfully sur- prised at the recovery in prices from the April sale, and the strength of the market. This was particularly commented on as the more surprising because of the mediocre quality of a good per- centage of the offering. They claimed that the April collection averaged better quality, but did not realize as firm prices. - The market was further heart- ened by the performances of the pastels, considering that there was no shortage of them. Pastels are now considered as represent- ing 35 to 40 per cent of the Emil crop, and the prices they attain- ed determines the way the mar- ket is going for the season. S-o the firmness in this initial May EMBA offering signals the sea- son is going well. The Hudson’s Bay Cotnpany, Montreal, announced that their next auction will be held May 22 and 23. On May 23, they will standard mink, and 25,000 muta- tions, including sapphire, pastel and silver blue. Selling will start at 1.00 pm. on May 22, and at 9.00 am. on May 23. Goods went on show May 20 at 9.00 p.m. There probably will be another Canada Pageant on fiu-r tashion this year, but the precise form it will take has not been determin- ed. New discussions will be held in a month or so, after retailers have returned home to talk things over locally. ' That, in short, is the outcome of the meetings between fur re- tailers, manufacturers and other invested groups at the seventh annual Fur Fashion Previews and Convention held two weeks ago at Montreal. FUR SHOW In Eastern cities, such as Hali- fax and Quebec City, where the public turnout was specially good, retailers are in a-ny case determined to have some kind of fur show with which to kick off their sellling season. In the West reaction was varied but there is considerable enthusiasm for the idea that last year’s pageant should be followed up with a rep- etition this year in one form or another. And here it a brief review of the Canadian Fur Auction Sales Company (Quebec) Ltd-., was held last week in Montreal. Standard dark and pastel min-k were best sellers at the above auction, both were 75 per cent sold at Ifiirm prices, compared -to March levels. Demand was well distributed among Czanadvia-n and New York buyers. Other minlc color s, includ- ing sapphire -and silver blue, were afbout55percentsoldat unchanged prices for average quality types. Wild mink also was in limited demand, selling 55 per cent at unchanged prices. Of- ferings of gun metal, white and miscellaneous mink mutations did not amuse any great interest, and silver foxes were mostly withdrawn. Official company comment runs as follows: “Dark and pas- tel mink both 75 per cent sold, good demand, at iii-rm prices; wild mink, sapphire a-nd silver blue 55 per cent sold, fair de- mand, unchanged.

Informants disclosed Thursday that C a n a d a’s three warning lines have been linked up on the East Coast and that the “gap- filler" radar program undertaken in 1955 has been completed. The “gap-filler” radar stations were «built to plug holes in the Canadian warning network dis- covered by practice flights south- ward from the polar regions. New radar Installations were built along the Atlantic seaboard, mainly in Labardor and New- foundland, and in Nova Scotia, Ontario, and British Columbia. T h e installations were con- structed and are manned by United States personnel. Their entire cost was borne by the U.S. Cana-da’s three radar chains, in order of completion, are: Pinetree, built in southern Can- ada at a cost of $450,000,000 with two-thirds of the amount paid by the U.S. and one-third by Gan- ada. This network extends from the East Coa.st to Winnipeg and from the Peace River area of Al- berta to Vancouver Island. MID-CANADA LINE The mid-Canada line along the 5'5“! Parallel. It extends from the drawn.” , signed an agreement June 13, 1955, for their construction. Other “gap - fi1ler” sites were erected in Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia to beef up the Pinetree line. There is no pinetree across the southern Prairies because it was felt major potential targets were on both coasts of North Amer- ica. However, this gap now is filled by the Mid-Canada line far- ther north. No radar chain has been thrown up on the West Coast be- cause of the vast Pacific out- cropping of Alaska where there is a heavy defensive system of radar and fighter squadons. Eight of Canada's nine inter- ceptor squadrons are concen- trated in Ontario and Quebec and in the ninth is -stationed at Comox, B.C. A U.S. Air Force in- terceptor squadron is based at Goose Bay, Labrador, and there is another at Stephenville, Ntld. INCREASE AID LONDON (Reuters) — Britain will give Libya £3,250,000 an- nually for the next five years as financial aid under a 1953 treaty, government sources said Thurs- day.

Take asparagus and butter‘. no plan to put a floor price under asparagus but along came Brit- ish Columbia growers and a new‘ entangle m e n t started. officials said Thursday. The Western producers turn out only a small part of the Canadian asparagus crop. Most of it is grown in Ontario. But the B.C. farmers appealed for federal help because packers wouldn’t take their crop for canning this year. The government agreed to a floor price of 17 cents a pound if the packers would take the crop—a«bo-ut 300,000 p=ounds—at 14 cents. In other words the govern- ment would pay growers three cents a pound which on the ba- sis of a 300,00(Mpound crop would be a mere $9,000. RAISES FURORE Ontario canners were furious. They had just agreed to pay On- tario growers 18 cents a pound and this province usually markets a drop of between 2,500,000 and 3,000,000 pounds. Federal oilfl'ci.al:s said these packers raised the question of why they should have to pay 18 cents when B.C. pack- ers were paying only 14. Ontario ‘packers bgoke their purchase agreement and growers raised the cry: “On to Ottawa. The government quickly agreed to help. lit placed a floor of 18 cents on Ontario asparagus, pro- viding the packers agreed to pay 15 cents. In other words. the federal treasury would shell out three cents a pound, or a total of be- tween $75,000 and $90,000.

Fanning, editor of World Petroleum Policies. an American oil newsservice. The case which the booklet pre- sents may be summed up in its own words as follows: “If we have to compete in the world supply arena and in world markets, we have to take an in- ternational look and scan broad horizons with a telescope, rather than confine our study to micro- scopic domestic considerations.” Combatting views of those con- cerned with current over-supply in the United States, the booklet describes this as a temporary situation, adding that forecasts “unanimously advanced by ex- perts” show mounting U.S. and free-world demand. NEGATIVE TRENDS Citing “negative” trends in U.S. oil discoveries, the booklet says: “We ha.ve no choice but to rely on imports to the necessary ex- -tent. If we aren’t careful, if we impose arduous tariffs and bur- densome restraints, we’ll get higher costs without adequate supply.” The booklet says there is also at stake foreign trade and in- vestment, U.S. prestige abroad and “the question of whether we will keep our friends.” It adds: “Already, im-port restrictions have stirred unfavorable reaction among our friends and allies.

TRANSFORMATION IN OIL A complete transformation in the world of petroleum has occur- red in the last two decades, the booklet states. In 1935 the U.S. produced 68 per cent of free-w-oatld oil; in 1957, only 47 per cent. In 1938 U.S. reserves were 59 per cent of free-world reserves; now they are only 14 per cent, with the middle east alone ac- counting for 71 per cent. In 1945 the U.S. consumed 68 per cent of free-world oil; in 1957 it consumed 54 per cent. This share decreased despite the fact that American consump- tion rose by 79 per cent. Eu;rope’s consumption went up 292 per cent and that of the whole free world by 219 per cent. “The fact is, most U.S. oil country has been explored and cost is making it more and more difficult for domestic oil to compete with foreign oil.” Towing Service Day Phone 9722 Night Phone 8048 - 8858 Member D.
