Newioundlanders Wani No Changes in U. S. Air Bases

OTTAWA, Nov. ‘Q — (CP) — L. T. Stick (L-Triiiity-Conceptlon) today told the Commons External Affairs committee Newfoundland- ers didn't want any interference with United States operations od! sir bases in that Province.

“We get on very well with the Americans," he said. "We don't want any strained relations. They mean millions of dollars to us. We don't want them to discharge Newfoundlsnders and bring in American workers."

l-Ie referred to recent magazine reports that there were difficul- ties between the United States op- orator-s of Ncwifnundland bases and the local people.

"Small incidents have been mag- nified out of all proportion," he said, "Tiicy were ironed out t0 our muitiai satisfaction."

A. D. P. Heeney, Undersecre- tary for External Affairs, said the matter of U. S. bases in New- foundland, acquired before New- foundland became a Province of Canada, was under negotiation with U. S. authorities.

While ihesc negotiations were vgoing on he said he preferred not to discuss them.

Call 0n Russia To End Vblenct

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y.. Nov. 1Q — (CPI —- Britain today called on Russia to end Communist-led violence in Greece and Korea as a proof in the United Nations and the world that she really wants peace.

Hector McNeil, Britain's Minis- ter of State, told the U. N. politi- cal committee that Russia could end tension on two sides of the world by acting in her role as a leader of \vorld Communism.

The chief British delegate said Russia could ordcr Communists to disassociaie themselves from the Greek civil war and the viol- ence that has split Korea into two armed camps.

“That WOllid bc a real contribu- tion tn world peace," he said.

"it woiild~be a bulldozer opera- tion in disposing of the lack of con- fidence shown here in Soviet in- ientions.“

McNeil said this lack of confi- dence, exrlrssed by half a dozen delegations in committee debate, was the reason he and others could not support a Soviet resolu- tion calling for a Tpeacc pact." among the Big Five Powers-Rus- sia, the United States, Britain, France and China.

France Seeking Backing In Gamble In lnilo-China

(By Cari Hartman

PARIS, Nov. l-iAFl-Frsnce is starting a campaign for the fict- Ive backing of Britain and the United States in her gamble for peace in Indo-China, an oriental colony slightly larger than the Province of Alberta and almost twice as populous as Canada.

Time is pressing; the Chincse Red armies are nearing Indo- Chlnirs border. There, they could lliik with the anti-French fighters of Moscow-trained Ho Chi Minh.

The French are playing their inst fnce cnrd in the turbulent coi- ony. He. is a 26-year-old former playboy rind former emperor nam- ctl Buu-Dal, The French last spring sci. him tit the hood of s government in Siilgon.

Prince Buu Lac, Boo-Duh; right- hiind man, left Saigon lust, week- cnrl to fly to the ilnitod States and seek official recognition of his "sovereigns" goverment.

Tho French guvo Ban-Dal his job n5 part, of their scheme to mnke Indo-China “independent within tho French unlon.“

Thc French claimed last week that Britain had taken a step to- ward recognizing Boo-Dal. This was because a British official in Southeast Asia visited him and de- livered tlit- personal best. wishes o! Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin.

But this was still several compli- cated figures away from s formal exchange of ambassadors.

Thi- long-ranga aim of France may be, semi-independence for the "empire- nf Viol-Nam", but the im- mcdlnto goal is the end of the three-year war with l-Io Chi ltfinlfs "Vlet-Nam Republic". This ron- flict has cost heavily in lives. The Annual money price. as put in the estimated budget for 1950, is I50,- 000.000.fl00 francs ($329.(l00,000).

Indo-Chlna‘: nnlionnllsm crystal- lized in the jungle fighters of Ho Chi Minh. But Whether Britain or the U. ever has given any sign of deciding whether Ho Chi Minh represents true nationalism or So- viet intrigue.

Tho new Vicl-Nam-meanlng "Greater Annam"— combines the three biggest of the five Indo- Chinese states. it is a continuous coastal strip reaching from the Chinese border almost to Slam. It has a population of 22.000000.

Silver Fox and Mink Fanning g

ICQAAA-“WY-Y»

The 19th annual live fox show. and 2nd live mink show surprised the members of the P. E, I. Piu- Breeders Association by the large‘ entry of foxes or all types. 1i. was not expected that more than 200' or 250 at the most would be on‘ Show . but the actual number was close to 350 and were they good! Yes. sufllfiilttgly so. with good W101‘ 8nd 300d fur predominating. Asone old hand at the fox shows remarked. "I have been ti long time coming to these shows and I have never seen a better display of sli- vers.’ The mutations were small- er in numbers hut. the quality was . good. The greatest interest was taken not only by the exhibitors; but bl’ hundreds of spectators who} seemed to enjoy the show as well. My Previous year despite the‘ fact that prices are so disappolnt- ' lngly 10W.

Prom conversations with differ-i tent ranchers we gathered thstl Inst of them would out down but would retain their best breeding stock, believing that in a couple of years at. most silver fox would a- gain he king. The judging was done by George A. Callback. who as us- ‘ ual performed that very trying office in a thoroughly Sflusfaft- or? manner. The mink show brought together over 200 very carefully picked exhibits. All the varieties including the Stewart Breath of spring, were shown, The judge was George 1-1, Mgygrsi of Lampson. Fraser and Huth, i Inc., New York, one of the best‘ qualified in the world -- certain- ly the best on mutations. He had i flown to Charlottetown from New Westminister, B. (3,, “there he officiated as judge at the biggest‘ mink show ever held in Canada. The results of the fox show ap- peared in this paper daily, and‘ the results of the mink show are in l it today. i

Mink ranchers in the United‘. States are ‘quite a bit. worked uip' as to whether the mutation mink mould be offered raw or dressed at suction, While the mink trad-l ers association organization oil dealers and manufacturers has putt forth sevcii reasons requestingi that mutations be offered raw andi fur rancbersuthat is breeders --i are determined to offer goods asi they have in the past, either dres- l scd nr raw. On the other hand there ire mink traders outside the association who would prefer] to buy them either raw or dress-i ed so probably that will be the re- , suit of all the arguments pro and} con that ivre going on..

Wiiile Paris is endenvoring to] popularize colored furs, furriers in Philadelphia who saw them get sn introduction there last week said thev did not think that colored fiirswouldever attain seliin": im- portance in that locality. At the meetinzareprescntative of the dy-; ers firm of Hollander, nrade the statement that colored furs wouldi be available next season at under $600.00. Samples of midnight blue or navy blue squirrel were s‘"ow'n and burgundi- persian was refer- red to as another new color of fur in the offing, In the meantime Esther Dorothy. the well-known designer, is endeavoring to pop- ularize fu/r coats made from clip- ped fox dyed by her own proess. A friend mentionel to the writer that he had seen one of these coats offered for sale in New York at $600.00 One of tthe principal arguments used to sell them is that they are much lirliter in weight than Persian lamb or oth- er f-ur coats. Esther Dnrothv was . of the opinion that cllrped furs would help out the silver fox fan-hers. but we cannot see it as she could Just as easllv rse red foxes as silvers in the riiripintz-dv- ing process and there are mill- ions of reds in storages throzieli- out the United States and Canadal

Furs shipped into the Unitedi States during the month of Pep-i tember were valued at nvcr m. and in August. over $3; million. These came from Russian; Cecelia-Slovakia. Finland and Pol-i and and that was just a month's; importation and they arc being. used to force North An-cricaii wild furs off the market. hfillioiis oi dollars worth of these ftrs are also caning annually into Canada, tak-i in; the place of our own Canadian l. wild and ranch furs, Just vvtiy tizn governments of the U. S. and Canada do not take action we cannot understand. Perhnfs they‘ are sympathetic to IIOWPTIIII ln-‘ terests connected with the im-' portstion of foreign liirs. i

The first sale of mutation niink of this season's takeoff will be held by Lempson. Fraser and Huih, Inc. in New York December 14th, and the New York Auction c-inraiiy has one scheduled for Dewrnher filth. There are no official fizures available on the number of mrt-i ations which will be pelted thisl year. Market scources bcllevetbei-e will be about i,000,0C0 of all kinds with the biggest increase in thcg pastels. There is talk of over; 200,000 to 300,000 pastels: the: largest quantity of mutations is in the Silverbiiie category. which last year was about 750,000. ‘Ibis

A 2n per cent boost from last year‘ in mink fur price was pre- dicted by Jack Alwyn, vice Presi- dent of Western Canada Fur at the bth annual British Columbia. live fur animal expos- ition held at New Wesiminlster, B. C. Nir. Alwyn was one of the four judges of more than 1,000 animals entered. He also said fox innohing in western Canada is on the start of s twelve year grow- ing cycle after sinking ti) the danger level of tlhe past two years. l-ie said the mink industry cleared its own house when 40 per cent of western Caanadian producers dropped out because of low prices last year.

A fur ball complete with Beauty Queen contest and style show was held in conjunction with the exposition. New Westrninister has in the past two years become the centre of British Columbia's rap- idly expanding fur industry. There are now 566 fur ranches in the province cum-pared with 150 twn years ago. Cheapness of fish used as feed on this coast has attract- ed many breeders from the prair- ies, Animals on display were mink. Sapphire Blue, Palomino, Pastel Silverblu, Whites and Naturals. Foxes were Silvers, Platlnums, Pearls, Arctic Blus. Marten and Chinchilla were also shown.

A bright future for British Col- umbia's fur industry was predicted by George H. Mayers, New York fur expert, who acted as judge at. the mink show. He said BritEsh Colmnbia. is leading the industry in the production of new furs. He urged the fox breeders now in the market doidrums, to maintain nucleus stock for the time when the business gets back on its feet. Popularity of foxes will return ov- ernight and there will be plenty of customers, he predicted.

More and Beiler Cultural Radio Programs Urged

MONTREAL. Nov. I — (GP)- ivfiore and better L....ll‘8l radio programs to tell Canadians about their national life and common achievements were urged in briefs presented today to the Royal Coni- mission on Arts, Letters and Sciences.

Radio men will have their day Friday when eight briefs dealing specifically with broadcasting are scheduled for presentation. But four groups devoted purely to cui- iural and educational pursuit". re- ferred to radio in their submis- siong on the opening day of the commission's Montreal hearings.

The Institute of Medieval Stud- ies of the University of Montreal suggested eventual establishment. of a "radio university." '.l'l'ie idrench-(lnrldian Association tor thc Advancement of Science, known as ACFAS in Qllfibflf- llllsful that. the CBC be provided with sufficient funds lo become “a. voice of Canadian culture." The Hench-Canadian Academy sought a ban on “crime" DYBITI-tns, im- provemcnt of radio's "literary quality," and appointment of "a man of letters" in 080's top man- ogement.

The Quebec Association for Ad- ult. Education, a bilingual organ- ization, recommended that private. stations raise the level of com- mercial programs and that CBC devote more time to cultural pro- grants.

The l8 briefs -- l2 nf them In French — covered subjects rang- ing from choral singing to the es- tablishment 0f a national botan- ical institute.

ACFAS referred to "Radio C31- icge." a French cultural program broadcast over CBC faculties tiar- lng the last eight years,

Such programs should be ex- tended, it contended. Operation of a station which would transmit only cultural programs at certain hours was suggested.

"Whether CD01 finances wen.- augmented by a higher licence rec or a direct Federal grant. the or- ganization was not prepared t- ssy, but CBC should have ample funds so that it "can function n: an instrument of education wntl public information and be a voice of Canadian culture."

The Institute of Medieval Slud- ies recommended a clear line tit dsnmrcstion between programs of culture and amusement. to that. each field might be adequately served.

Was Ii A Siar 0r A Comet?

That Bailey's Comet was the bright. light which guided the Wise Men to Christ's birthplace is tire suggestion made by Dr. R. S. Rich- ardson, of Mount Wilson Obser- vatory, though many astronomers disagree.

Regular Visitant

The Christmas date, as we know it, was not celebrated until the fourth century. and owing to the changes on the calendar it is impossible to say exactly on which day, and in what year, Jesus was born. It is generally agreed that the date is between lii B.C. and 5 B.C.

Bailey's Comet is one of the few celestial bodies which have passed within sight of the earth st. regular intervals a5 far biiok as history goes, It has been seen, and its visits re- corded, between 8'7 B.C. and Al). i910. And one of these appearances was. says Dr. Richardson, between ll B.C. and 5 B.C. There is also evidence that in August, iii B.C., the comet was in the constellation Gemini. a little north of the two bright stars Castor and Pollux. Add these stars. in their daily journey across the heavens, passed through the zenith at Bethlehem.

In 1i B.C.

Since Halley’: Comet was close to Castor and Pollux on that August night in ll B.C.. it must have stood directly over Bethlehem. Certainly the appearance in the sky of so bright a body as Kelley's Comet: could not have failed to arouse wonder among the people.

Treating Tree To Preserve Needles

Dropping needles or leaves of Christmas trees, which strip the trees of color and litter the floor, long have beena Yuletide bane. Therefore, the discovery of the New York State College of Fores-
