: , N o. 7——SLIPPERY WEAIHER cs AND snow always bring problems for drivers. These problems are the x-<».-::lt of loss friction. And that is interesting, because usually we are try- ing to reduce friction all we can. We use ball and roller hearings to overcome friction. We smooth and polish parts to reduce fric- tion. We put oil in our cars to avoid friction. But We can't get along without friction, just the same.

For, after all, we couldn't start a car. we couldn't stop a car, we couldn't turn a corner, if it weren't for fiction. The friction between the road and our rub- ber tires is what gives us traction.

lost of the time we have plenty of traction. But In certain climates every year. Winter comes blowing and blustcrlng down from the North, and the first thing we know he has spread ice and snow over our roads, and our whole traction condition is changed.

But automobiles are pretty well prepared these days to meet any conditions. All we have to do is to

adjust ourselves to these changed circumstances.

our tires have to start us going on slippery ice or snow. starting in second or "high" is harmless and it does help to avoid spinning wheels, side slipping and - difficulty in getting under way. If you haven't tried ; ‘ this after stopping at intersections. you may be sur- " prised to find out how much mor’e quickly you get started again. Only remember to engage the clutch very slowly.

This business of starting in slippery weather can be quite a problem. But stopping is even more so. However, most good drivers agree on one method that they find quite satisfactory. First of all they

begin to slow their cars down at quite a distance from where they want to stop. They press the brake lightly at first and release it almost at once. Then they press again and release quickly. By a series

Method: sift the dry ingredients. Add the milk slowly and beat until smooth. Mixture should be just stiff from the end of a r about, 10 minutes.

For instance, many skillful drivers start their cars in high gear on very slippery, icy streets. Ordinarily this would be a bad thing to do. But when

Many of the best drivers always make it a point not to disengage the clutch as soon as they apply their brakes, but to wait until the car has almost stopped. While this is their general practice. they say it is especially important on slippery roads, as they claim it reduces the chances of skidding. But if we use this method there is one thing we must look out for. We have to remember that on a slippery sur- face it is very easy to stall our engine by using our brakes when the clutch is still engaged.

_ Outside of starting and stopping, most winter skid-

ding is at turns and curves. Many good drivers tell us

that they treat every slippery curve or turn as though

it were going to be a stop. In other words, they ap-

proach curves using the very same system of short,

A nearby neighbor. Jack Bur- goyne, Fountain Road near clif- ton, has a litter of ten pups all sturdy, strong and doing well. Bernie llynes, Fountain Road. has exceptional luck with three pairs that have given him 11 living pups.

A meeting of the registration committee of the Canadian Na- tional s.F.B.A. was held at sum- merslde last Wednesday evening and it. was decided to continue the policy of scndlng out, fox inspectors to all provinces in Canada. Ten or twelve well qualified men will oom- prlse the staff and their duties will commence on or about June 22nd. They will visit registered ranches and also non-registered ranches if desired and give advice regarding feeding, sanitation, prop- er mating methods, skinning and preparation of pelts. Fred Burke of Charlottetown and Jimmie Williams of summcrside will take care of this Province.

Marshall Reynolds, Manager of the Imperial Fox Rranch at Mon- tague. has another pleasing report to make to his Directors. He has counted 206 pups from 50 females. A good showmg and one that smlnps mm as s. successful breed- e1'—lnanagc1‘.

F. G. Kennedy, ex-President of the Sl1\'\‘r Fox Exhibimrs Associ- ution of Prlin'(~ Edward Island and ,n Dircclur of the Canadian Na- , tiotlal Silver Fox Breeders Associ- ; ation, is one of our most enthusi- ‘, asfic foxmen, always ready to dis- I cuss anythln for the improvement of himself find other brecdors. Re- oently he had a. talk with Messrs. George A. Callback and P. G. Clark, summerside, with reference to the approximate average loss suffered by our ranchers through improper method: of pclting, stretching and mu: .s1lvcr fox skins. The conclu- sion arrived at is that the sum of three dollars per skin would be about right. Mr. Kennedy advo- cates the appointment of an tn. Spec!/or by the Department. of Ag- riculture, whose duly it would be to instruct ranchers in proper tech- nique that would cut out the loss.

The articles which appeared in this section the past two weeks on the use of fish for foxes has stimulated gxcut. interest, and up- plications for copies of the Guard- inn containing them have been numerous. It seems strange that we have had this oommodlly in plenty at our doors for years and have not realized its value. It rc- malned for the silver foxmcn on the south-east shore of Nova Scotla [to demonstrate that by using fish

in plenty, large, strong. good bread- ing foxes would result at very much less cost than with a strictly meat and C(‘l'(‘al diet. Now motor truck SCl'\'lCl‘,\' running from Souris, Tl‘£lCtldll"_ Rusllca and no doubt from many points in the western part of the province are bringing many thousands of pounds of fish daily to the ranchers’ door.

Lowell Hancock‘; suggestion: of one-third meat, one-third fish and one-third cereal appenls to 5 great many. others modify their formula to best suit. their own conditions. but all who are using them believe that they are a good form of feed and that the pups are growing well. There is Just one thing to bear in mind and that is the everlastlns necessity of care to see that 110 taint is acquired by the fish prior to their being fed to the foxes.

This province is certainly beauti- ful in its carpet of green and that reminds me that now is the time for the rancher to incorporate good, clean grass or clover in his feed mixture. Robert Basket, Bed- eque, whose prize winning achieve- ments are known to all, likes to go out and pick a. bunch of clover and throw handfuls ti) the pups, who look forward eagerly to it and de- vour it almost as quickly as it reaches them. Later on when chard and lettuce come in they of course will be better sources of chlorophyll and vegetable vitamins. Lettuce is particularly valuable as an adjunct in the preparation of the foxes for the breeding season. because it has one of the three great sources of Vitamin E, the anti-sterility vitamin, the others being wheat. germ and liver.

The ugly menace of theft is rais- mg its head again in this province and already from certain sections there are well authenticated cases of foxes having been stolen from ranches. Time and again in this column we have urged rancher friends to keep a good, fierce d0! in the ranch. In our experience we have never known of a successful burglary where a good watch dog was installed. If his manner and actions are not menacing enough to drive off the thieves, his noisy barkfngs will usually have the ef- fect. of bringing assistance and cause a hasty getaway by the culp- rits.

Monday will be an auspicious day in London for us and our thoughts will be turned there very frequently within the next week. It is the opening day of the June sliver fox auctions and the scene will be the Hudson's Bay Company's sales theatre, Great Tririlty Lane, Inn- don, England_ where 8,500 silvers will be offered. This is part of a magnificent emporium erected by the oldest and most; successful trud- ing company in the world, whose charter dates--back to 1670, and whose first Governor was Prince Rupert. brother of the ill-fated Charles the First of England, and known as the greatest cavalry lend- er of his day, but ultimately having to take a back seat to that iron- stded, imn~w'llled Puritan, Oliver Cromwell.

«

To digress for a minute from the auctions I may say that the old company is full of history. Its first. meeting of shareholders was held in a London coffee house in 1670 during the reign of Charles the Second, a nephew of Prince Rupert. The Company of Adventurers as they were known, received 9. char- ter to trade into Hudson's Bay and other parts of the North American continent. Among the first sub- scribers to shapes was John, Duke of Marlborough. victor of the fam- ous Battle of Blenheim and with-

Shortly after the Charter was issued two vessels were sent out. and made the hazardous Journey into Hudson’: Bay. They picked up large quantities of furs of surpass-

Todsy, where a modest struclutv stood in Great Trinity Lane cen- turies ago, there’ is instead 5 msg- nlfiocnt building of brick, stone and cement as modem as can be made, with air circulatory system which changes the atmosphere ev- ery hour and keeps it at a. con- stant temperature of‘ 58 degrees. Cold storage vaults capable of bold- ing many millions of dollars worth of peltrtes are there. Magnificent show rooms with a perfect lighting system, offices for the most ex- peditious daspatch of business, and last but not least, a beautiful sales theatre capable of acoomodalfng 1,200 buyers, with acoustic proper- ties so wonderful that the voice of the auctioneer can be heard with perfect clarity in its most remote parts.

As our readers are probably aware this same theatre is used by nearly all the other auction houses for sales purposes. The method used at the auctions is to advertise in the catalogue which is sent out to prospective buyers and through advertising in trade papers the dates of sale together with the view dates on which the furs an: exposed for pricing and examin- ation by the buyers. The view dates for Monday's sale would probably be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and the scene on Friday and Saturday would be one of great interest to us if demand is keen, for there would be any- where from 50 to 200 busy from ten o'clock in the morning when the light is sufficiently good, until four o'clock, going through the offerings of silver fox.

White coated attendants are present and one of these is allotted to each prospective buyer. All the buyer has to do is to mention the numbers in the catalogue that he wants to see and the amlsbant quickly brings them to him and places them on long tables which are provided for easier appraisal. It is perhaps difficult to realize. but nevertheless it is a fact, that even though the offering of pelts will run as high as 25,D00—whlch is not unusual with the Hudson's Bay the Past two years-—yct among that great number there will be a few that will stand out like files in the proverbial dish of milk.

The news quickly circulates among the buyers and one will say. "Have you seen lot number so- and-so?" "Yes." And their they will comment. After all it is the same with the human race. Of the billion or so that are in the world no two are exactly alike and in crowds of these there will be mag- nificent men and beautiful women who will be from the crowd apart, their personality and physical at- tributes giving them a perspective that is entrancing to the eye and captivating to the mind.

The absence of shaking: of the mailed fist and lessening of Jinan- listic utterances of Mussolini and Hitler has calmed the state of nerves in Europe considerably the past few weeks and as a result

there has been a steady demand at private sale for silver fox pelts. particularly three-quarter and mu silvers. The United states market which has had a most surprising demand and practically depleted its own supply, are buyers in Lon- don and their takings together with the home demand has left a big gap between the March unsold af- Ierlng and what will be placed on

These tluve things matter to many millions of human beings all over the restless planet we call the world. There are men Who will sell their health and hnpplness for power: women who would barter their souls for money.

They do it every day when they marry without the biological im-

perative, when they marry for any ‘

reasoi but love. But with the emancipation of women and their economic freedom, love marriages ought to be the rule.

There an people who also desire the success of standing well with the world. The tyrant to whom they enslave themselves is called Public Opinion. Does it matter what others about us? many people think it does. so let. us con- sider first of all the psychology 0? the success which signifies getting on in the world. making a position. a nuns. making a fair a.mount of money.
