Silver Fox And Mink Farming

Awasswwmmk

The annual meeting of tllu Canadian National Sliver rm Breeders Association was held in Ottawa Boys' Club building, Ot- tawa, on Tuesday, June 10th. Among those present were President E. S. Burlcigh, Ellerslie. P.E.I., Vice President I-I. Zimmerman, 'rs.vi- Itock, Ont.. Gordon MacMillan, R. 3. Humphrey, Dr. W. E. Russell, L. W. Hancock, Lt.-Col. D. A. Macxlnnon, Hon. C. B. Sherwood. F.

Records. Miss Thomas, C.N.L.S. Records, also George H. Meyers. New York, G. B. Archibald. Warren. Pd, Presi- dent, American Fox Breeders Ae- soc., Paul Reinhardt, Burlington, Wis.. of the American Fox Breed- ers Association.

The Directory report was the 33rd given since the formation of the Association in 1920. In the last few years due to the contin- uously lower prices for silver fox and mutations, membership has dwindled. At present Prince Ed- ward Island has the largest mem- bership with Ontario in second place, Nova. Scotla and Quebec third. A total of 806 females and 3'11 males were reported in the 93 ranch statements received for the year. This was ll big decline from the previous year. Two live fox shows were held, one at the Amherst Winter Fair, Amherst, NS., and the other that of the Prince Edward Island Fur Breed- crs' Association at Charlottetown. Each of these received it maximum grant of S800.

The marketing department of the Association began its opera- tions in the fur season of 1926-27 and up to the end of the 195i-52 fur season had handled 677,065 pelts, or an average of 26.041 pelts for the 26 fur seasons. The total receipts for the fur season under review were 7820 pclts which showed it very marked decline from past. seasons, due largely to the great reduction in the number and size of fox ranches across Canada, and this reduction was brought about by the weak demand and the less than production cost that could be obtained for silver and mutation fox. Fox pelts mar- keted under the government mar- keting act for the season of 1949- 50 have all been disposed of and final payment of approximately 825,000 made to shippers.

During the past year the mink advertising endeavors were separat- ed from the fox advertising endea- vors snd the recommendation was made to the Canadian National Silver Fox breeders Association to handle all fox advertising and pro- motional work. Under date of June 21, 1952, this association agreed to take over the fox funds. gu- ments, etc.. from the Canadian Farm Fur Advertising Committee. Our association has since exhibit- ed fox garments at the pre-view of the 1951-54 fur fashions held in the Mount Royal Hotel. Mon- treal, April l4 and 15. 1953. This exhibit was highly praised by all who saw it, particularly the pearl platinum Coronation robe which was one of the outstanding exhibits of the show. All the styles were created by Rltters of New York and Canada. There was also forwarded to the Canadian govern- ment exhibit six fox garments and 30 fox skins of different types for display at the International Trade Fair at Brussels, Belgium.

Mr. J. Fergus Grant of the Dept. of Trade and Commerce, prepar- rd it Canadian fur Portfolio with photos of fox and mink gu- ments for distribution by Mr. W. M. Ritchie, Chief, Fur Inspection and Grading Service, Dept. of Agriculture, who had charge of the exhibit. Mr. Ritchie reported that I great deal of attention was given to the fox pelts and garments

dig lgyed, especially the Sapphire Cogonatiori Robe which was "much admired and had stolen the show."

The above report was adopted nnd'the financial rPp0r!. read by Treasurer Vernon Matthews. It showed 1 small excess of expendi- ture over revenue. The finances of the Association are in a very strong position due to the accum- ulation of surpluses from the years when the fox business was at its peak. After the reports were adopted the meeting adjourned until the afternoon. Then the vis- itors from the United States were introduced. George H. Meyers was the first speaker. He spoke oi the success of on auction held in New York I few months ago it which some 15,000 silver fox and mutations were offered and the bulk of them sold. He said the in- terest awakened by that sale was very great and had repercussions in Europe. The trade was again be- coming fox conscious and if the fox breeders will get behind simi- lar promotions then the market can be brought back again in the not too distant future. He said that the fox furs in cold storage were nothing like as many as is be- lieved, so that with 3 strong effort. these could be used fairly quick- ly and the market would be ready to receive the new crops. He said designers in America and Europe all believe in silver fox. They coit- sider it s, most attractive fur and the fact that Queen Elizabeth is very partial to it and so many photos have been taken of her wearing fox, has contributed to making it a desired fur with many. He had always been, as those pre- sent knew, a. great booster for fox and his faith is as strong as EVCF.

He advised those present to put on it big promotional campaign in cooperation with the American Fox Breeders Association. He said the Norwegians intend spending 545.000 on promoting Norwegian blue fox in the United States and their finances are not nearly as

B. Archibald, President of the A- merican Fox Breeders Association. was born on Prince"Edward Island and his father was a physical dir- ector of the YMCA. years ago. He has been in fox farming for quite at number of years and is still continuing and believes that it will soon be back on its fact if we all give it push and put en- thusiasm lilin that push. Patti Reinhardt. who was International Fur Conference some years ago, made a big hit. with everyone and spoke very effective- ly, Paul is known as 11 man of sin- cere convictions who can extprcss them very forcibly. His telling polnst went right home to the listeners and when he sat down he was given at real ovation.

Following the above addresses Frank E. Dodman of Henry Morgan 6; Co., Ltd., Montreal, spoke. Mr. Dodman is considered the top au- thority in Canada on furs and fur fashions. He has visited New York, Paris and other Interna- tional cities, knows all the great designers, consults them and his department of furs at Morgan's is outstanding. He introduced Miss Fry, an attractive young lady who modeled I. number of silver fox and mutations furs and showed them off to perfection. She dis- played a. silver fox cape that was the nicest we have sten, also a very beautiful platinum wrap, a pearl platinum cape similar to the one presented to Queen Elisa- beth snd finally the Coronation Cape snd Robe. They were really breath-taking and when the dis- play was completed those who may have wavered in their belief that silver fox and its mutations were on the way out, changed their minds. Mr. Dodman said he was sure that with proper pro- motion and the assistance of ex- pert styllste, several of whose names he mentioned. our beautiful furs would again be worn by in- dies who wanted the best and most attractive in that category. All the visitors were given a very special vote of thanks for having attended the meeting.

The subject of assistance for the promotional campaign was discussed and George A. Callback, Manigcr of the Fur Marketing

p Dept, said that A sum of 375,000

should be made available. It. might not all be spent during the com-

1 ing year, and it would not be spent

unless it could be utilized to good advantage. He outlined some of I. plan proposed. which included the making up of some 1000 sil-

There stands on the top of Iron Mountain in the midst of the Mountain Lake Sanctuary, the Singing Tower of Florida. It is about 3 miles from Lake Wales and 33 miles from Lakeland, which is almost in the centre of Florida between its north boundary and its south tip and equidistant from the east and west coasts. It stands on the highest point of land in Florida and is 324.9 feet above sea level. The granite tower which has a square base fifty-one feet high, gradually changes in outline into an octagon as it reaches a total height of 205 feet. This Gothic spire is surrounded by at lovely pool and is near the centre of an area of 59 acres of Sanctuary for people, ani- mals, birds, fishes and plants.

This wonderful Sanctuary and designs of leading stylists and these would be placed in the bet- ter fur stores and featured. A publicity campaign would also be put. on and other steps taken to foster interest and make sales. The proposal was then adopted by the meeting and a sum of 515,000 can be spent by Mr. Callbeck un- der the direction of the Executive. for the purposes as outlined.

The Directors meeting followed and the newly elected President is Harry Zimmerman of Tavistock. the Vice President. Ernest '1'. Mill. Executive, Lowell W. Han- cock, Robert Humphrey, George MacLeod.

A pleasing feature followed when the newly elected President pre- sented a Lori vtrist ttatch to re- tiring President Ed Burleigh on behalf of the Canadian Nallolzai Silver Fox Breeders" Association. A vote of thanks was tendered Tom llitchman of the Canadian National Live Stock Records, who is renting after 53 years service in that department. Many kind re- marks were made about Mr. Hitch- man, who is well known to fox breeders thougliout the length of the Dominion. His always genial manner and great. helpfulness will be long remetnbcred.

Bok, A, former editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, was inspired, he said, by the work of his grand- father, who, a. hundred years earli- er, transformed I barren island in the North see, off the Netherlands coast, into a bower of loveliness. filled with trees and the verdure of green grass. which became a sanctuary for birds. He also took this means to carry out his grand- mother's injunction to her child- ten and their children: ”where- ever your lives may be cast, makel you the world it bit better or more beautiful because you have llvedl in ii."

The Seminole Indians of Cen-ll tai Florida claim that this straw was once a sanctuary for- theirl four tribes, and that each springi during the Easter full moon their tribes assembled there to wall for their misdeeds and fast. They would remain prostrate until sun- rise. when their medicine man would start a sacred fire from which all tribal tires would be lit during the year and their braves offered praise in the "Dance of the Rising Sun.”

The idea and the spirit of salic- tuary for human meditation and inspiration has come down to us from primeval times. when many tribes reserved retreats in which they withdrew at certain times for worship. Throughout. Asia and Europe some sanctuaries restrict- ed their Sanctum Sanctorum for the use of priests. In late mediaeval times the idea of Sanctuary, large- ly inherited from Ell.Yl'3L followed adaptations of both the Greek and Roman periods, which considered as sacred the temple as a shrine and also those who establish them- selves as priests therein. Out of this grew the monasteries. the right of Sanctuary was also extend- ed to settlements of artists and students.

The Druids in Britain were the first to establish the modern out- door Sanctuary. They were wood- land worshippers, who held plan! and animal life sacred. and thus conserved many valuable species from extinction. This has linked the name Sanctuary in America with the conscrvatioit of bird life, as many of the Sanctuaries es- tabltslted there have protected lcertain species of birds. From the

citizens of the United States of p ' America. by the late Edward W.l a

great Sanctuaries of India came the Idea of 1 Sanctuary for hu- man meditation and uplift, and it is by making use of creative har- monies that exist in nature and music that the Mountain Lake Sanctuary and Singing Tower sp- peols to those who have been
