ver's sale in Lonwn last week muskrat declined 10,93 and ranch mink advanced 1096. These two jurs commanded -most interest in what was otherwise a. fairly dull sale. American interest was doubly lacking. The only American inter- est in the entire sale was in some Russian goods. .Paris and London buyers were the most active with some buying also noted from Italy and Germany. Hudson's Bay Com- pany sale held the same week showed comparisons with July sale as follows: Beaver declined ion. where sold; muskrat declined ior,.; beaver where sold, slightly PHSIEI"; marten mostly withdrawn: miioh minlk advanced 1098: wild mink slightly easier. v

The Quebec Fish and Game De- na'LmEilL announces that I plan -iilorced in 1932 to prevent extinc- .:on of beavers is beginning to )1" off. Quebec's beaver popula- leached 150.000 this year. ac- mz-diiig to an official count. while rieveu years ago they were so sC.lFC8 he government invoke! a iomplete trapping ban. Out of Quebec's thriving beaver reserves last year 3265.000 worth of furs trapped by Indian tribes living in iiie northern regions extending l'.om James Bay to the western 1'illl of desolate Ungava. Compared lillll l..st years 19,300 skins this leans tot:i.l is expected to reach a record production of 21.500 skins, mhaps even more. This increase iiil continue from year to year, 1 game spokesman said. Quebec has divided the vast north into eleven beaver reserves. Every year three reserves are closed to al- Imv natural ixicrease in popula- ll0ll. while other reserves are part- li open to trapping.

Hon. 13.. Camille Pouliot, Que- hcc game minister, said recently the government action has stabiliz- -d the beaver trade while enabling he beaver population to increase. Sale of the skins through. the Quebec game department will yield 619. per unit to the trappers. and J. A. Tremblay. Director of Fur Services, says the Cree Indians uiil get 100,000 pounds of beaver meat out of the season's work. Two attempts at beaver farming were tried out in this province, one near Milton where Edward Coles had is small colony of bes- ver but for some reason or other the attempt had to be discontinu- cd. Then the late Dan Jenkins set up a colony near Fuilertohis Marsh and at one time it numbered some- where in the vicinity of 50 or 60. It is probable that our water streams are not large enough or we hav'en't enough unoccupied land to make beaver farming a paying proposition. some oi the beavers that were raised here had very beautiful pelts and commended uilte good prices when msrketedq

Women's Wear Daily has A short article entitled "In Mid-Season Collection” of which this is the final paragraph. . . ."Fox, particu- larly in the new Norwegian blue mutations. is prominently spotlight- ed throughout the collection as a trimming or shaped into stolesr Theee. which usually appear in fur and fabric combinations, range from small one-skin pieces with silk ties to huge drapesble versions with fur worked in dis- gonal bands across velvet booking.

In one of the latest issues of Women's Wear Daily are photo re- productions of young lady models wearing furs made up of Golden Glory Fox, the new golden muta- tion viltich is being introduced by Fromm Bros. and was described in our previous notes.

Auction dates of Danish fur sales, Copenhagen, are as follows ...l9o3. from December 13 thiougli December 15. appi ximately 60,000 mink and 3.000 fox; 1954, January 12 to January 19, approximately 180,000 mink and 3,000 fox; Febru- ary 22 through 26th, approximately 80.000 mink and 3,000 fox; May 1'1 ' through 10. approximately 40,000 'p'link and 2.000 fox. Later offer- ings to be announced. Apparently , the 1953 production of mink ,will amount to about 400,000 and about 11,000 fox.

Wisconsin is one of the top pro- ducers of Muskrat, Louisiana be- ing the other in the U.B.A. Be- sidu these two states there is Minnesota and Michigan, other large producers. In Wisconsin a- lone the total mu.ui'at harvest for thepast season was 1,240,516. A total of 13,417 beaver were trap- per, 37,186 mink and various other wild animal furs. However, the prices for wild furs appear to be smaller this year and A. D. Cole- man, head of the fur division of the Colorado Game Aissowation, states: ” I do not look for a big season because prices are down and trappers don't want to spend the time for the low return." The same thing appliu to trapping in Canada. The harvest of wild furs this year will be much smaller because of these low prices and the fact that trappers are getting em- ployment on projects that years ago did not exist. Many of these are exploratory such as searches for uranium and other elements and work on airfieldis and "projects in the far north.

In the Black Fox Magazine for September there is a column head- ed ”Twenty-Five Years Ago," with extracts lrom the Black Fox Mag- azine of September, 1928 as fol- lovrs....."Thc. largest cheque ever passed in the fur industry of the world has been drawn to the or- der of Fromm Bros, Nieman 62.

Every living thing on the earth is ,' tely dependent upon the heat from the sun. It has been and is the every day source of our heat and light. It is heat from the sun that raises water by evapora- tion from land and sea, and thus forms the clouds. These clouds dis- tribute, in the form of rain and snow, moisture that is essential to the growth of plant life. This rain and snow is also the source of the rivers and lakes and hydro- electrical power. The other main sources of industrial power: Wood. coal, gas and oil. have also been produced in ages past by the ac- tion of the sun's rays by photo- synthesis.

The winds that move the clouds, and are used to some extent to generate power, are also produced

by the radiation of heat from the sun. Thus the power being used today. even manual labour and that produced by horses and cattle, can be traced through food to the sun's

rays. which have, so far as we know. their source in atomic energy.

The word atom is from the

Greek atomos. 'that which cannot be cut" and was used by physicists who denied the infinite divisihility oi matter. The birth of the science of chemistry during the 18th and 19th centuries, came as the transi- tion from alchemy, when alchem- lsts had failed in their attempts to transform the base; elements into rarer elements. The chemists decided that each atom was an in- destructible, solld whole, and could not be transformed into an atom of another kind. We now know

that nature is the successful al-

chemist, and that such changes

The initial discoveries that have led to our present knowledge of nuclear energy, were made by Pro- fessor Ernest Rutherford at Me- Gill University. He was interested in Becquerel's (France) discovery of radioactivltiy in 1806: 'I'ompson'a (England) dscovery f the electron in 1897; and the famous discovery by the Curles in 1898 of the ele- ments of radium and poionium.

The nature of radioactivity was a mystery in 1000, although a few radioactive elements had been dis- covered. Rutherford and a Mccvill chemist. Frederick Soddy. in their work "proved that the entire pro- cess of radioactive occurred at I. pre-determined rate, sponstaneous- iy, but varied in rate with dif- ferent substances. Temperaturef pressure or environment did not affect the rates. The observance of

Bob Walker, the manager of the bank that handles our account, is the type of man who takes a long,

hard look before he makes an investment. Talking of cars the other day, he told me held bought a Monarch because it was a car that gave him everything he wanted, including the satisfaction of knowing held invested wisely and

well in a fine product. I thought I couldn't do better than follow his example-and now I know just how he feels.

My Monarch has all the fine-car features I value most-beauty and style in every line, a powerful V-8 engine

and all the the extra power features that make driving more relaxed and pleasant than I'd ever thought it could lie. Yes, I can certainly see now why any man with a bankerls sense of values would.make Monarch his choice.
