Indian Claims 167 Years Old NEW YORK (AP)-A tiny in- dlan from Colombia, who may be the oldest man in the world. came here Wednesday to let scientists dut-ts is raw furs. Effective pro- motion could pave the way for sales of Canadian raw furs In these nrcas. He points out specifically Colombia. Peru and Uruguay. LUXURY FUR8 Mr. Hazeo states that many peo- ple with money to spend who live In warm and even tropical clim- ales look upon a fur jacket or stole as essential to gracious living. There is a definite d t there for high-quality fur pieces. Most of the purchases of this nature today are made by those who can af- ford to travel abroad. buying their fur goods in Europe or. the United States. He stated that while Col- ulilhln is not an important mark- cl. there is a local garment-mak- inc industry that might respond I.-not-al)ly to offers from Canadian ('xptiI'lfrs of raw furs. Import rcstrlctions are severe hut not entirely prohibitive. The tl.lll on raw fur skins is 81.81 per pound plus 25 per cent ad valorem on the c.i.f. value. In addition, im- ports of raw furs must be paid for nltll exchange at the free rate of 475 pesos per one dollar, and are subject to a stamp tax of'i0o per cent ad vslorem,ln addition to duty. The bright spot, however, Ii lhat Colombia's production of row ftirs is negligible and the country must depend on imports to satisfy demand. Peru, like (”nlombla, has little or no local production. but it tires have a fairly well-organized manufactur- lnz industry which makes the country one of the most attractive potential raw fur markets In South America. A malor drawback is the quest- ion of high duties. The customs tariff on furs such as beaver, red fox and lynx is 810.62 per pound; marten. otter. mlnk and blue silver fox, 818.01 per pound. in addition there is an internal tax of 1.1.06 per cent and a 1 per ductlnn is quite important in Uru- guay's domestic fur industry. but no furs are exported. The rate of duty on raw fur skins is 7! per cent ad valorem. Reliable inform- ation is difficult to obtain about the fur industry in Argentina. There Is a fur-manufacturing II- rlustry in the country and. appsroi- llivl; all furs used are obtained loc- s y. MINK SALE!

Blasts Clergy For Time Spent Outside Parish HALIFAX (CF) - Ven. Arch- deacon R. i-owlow of Lunenburg. N.S.. Wednesday criticised the time clergymen spent at confer- ences and meetings outside their parishes. when they "should be at home carrying out their func- tions." Speaking at the annual synod of the Anglican '”ccleslastical Pro- vince of Canada. the clergyman said he referred specifically is rural clergy. He was convinced. he said. that clergy do not know enough about be interested in the problems of rural life without going to confer- ences." Canon S. Williams of Montreal replied: "We have got to magnify the work of the rural parishes and that Is the work of confer- ences." importance of a strong rural church was stressed by Rev. G. 8. Tanton of Tangier, N.S. "Without a strong rural church” he said, "there would be no church at all." The meeting also recorded its approval to changing the name of the church to the Anglican Church of Canada from the Church of England in Canada. R. V. Frear of Saint John, N.l.. was elected treasurer and Canon A. R. Kelley of Montreal was re- elected registrar. rural work and "conferences are, probably a good thing, but we can v try to find out if he actually is 167 years old as some persons have estimated. An airllne stewardess who got a marriage proposal on the plane that brought him from Miami found it hard to believe that Ja- vier Perelra could be 107. So did reporters who saw him gesturing at them as he came off the plane. and then mimicking them as they took notes about Im. A scientist in Colombia who is an expert on human age has said physical tests prove Porelra is more than no years old. Other estimates have placed his age as high as l67. Pereira himself has no idea how old he is. Rs can't read or write and speaks a mixture of ancient ” ' h and his native lndian language. A shrivelled four-foot-four and 75 pounds, Pereira has skin like well-tanned leather and his jet- blsck hair has only a touch of white.
