Mr. Manure traced the history of the fur seal industry from the time of the purchase of Alaska from Russia by the U. S. in i867. He spoke of the several different agreements on pelagic sealing since that time and noted that at present, only Canada and the U. S. have an agaeement on the ad- vantageous msnagement of. the fur seal herds.

lfg Revenue a ‘seer

"Interest. is being taken in the fur sealing trade because it pro- dlzces quite a large revenue for the fisheries department of our Government,“ Mr. Mclaure said. I-Ie gave specific details of the fur~ processing of the seal skins at St. Louis, showing an intimate know- ledge of the process.

“Three thoussnd- of these pelts have arrived in Montreal already,‘ Mr. McLul-e continued. "and will be sold for the benefit of _ the people of Canada. At the present time. "the Fisheries Department stands to make s net revenue of at least 01,000,000 a year in tlue trade alone." - Mr. Metals-e urged that regula- tions concerning ‘the protection oi‘ theee- valuable fur-bearing, seals against poaching or against over- exploitation should be ."a little more drastic.” I-Ie also urged 88..

Mr. Dickson and his gang. who had something new up their sleeves in the way of odd stunts and games during the fun-packed three hours, for the large number of volunteers who went up on the stage to take part. really put many of the con- testants to the test when they agreed "to do anything for a laugh" and plenty of laughs there were. _

One young married couple. had to go to a dressing room and ex- change clothes. after which they were sent out into the street to look for some fictitious character for the rest of the evening. while one other young lady, who they dressed up in a pair of men's long underwear, was sent out to so from house to house to sell a whole tray of doughnuts at s cent apiece. and two others dressed as ghosts

Everyone participating wok their part in a very éportsmanlike man- ner, and all contestants were handsomely awarded with many beautiful and expensive prizes, ranging from diamond rings to washing machines. And speaking of diamond rings, one young man. who pronounced his intention ot “ ‘_ engaged to his girl friend, was required to make a public proposal to her, and s beautiful diamond engagement ring was immediately supplied to make the proposal complete.
