Mink Breeders Hope To Produce A Mauve Fur WINNIPEG (CP) -- The dream of many Canadian women is a mink coat. But the dream of mink | ranchers in Manitoba is a new mutation, perhaps a true mauve or a violet-tone fur, The breeders, who had only one color of fur up to about 16 years ago, now have eight color-muta- tions to breed. They range from the basic brown to pale fawn, sap- phire, blue, palomino, tam, pear! and white. In Manitoba there are 490 mink ranches with a yearly harvest of 160,000 mink valued at $4,000,000. SMALL PELTS A full-length mink coat takes about 60 male mink pelts; a shor! mink jacket uses 40 male pelts; and the capelets and stoles take from 12 to 20 male pelts. Sinco female pelts are 30 per cent smaller, they are perfect for ac- cessories, trimming and for sleeves in full-length coats. Two mink auctions are held here each year, the first early in December and the second during the latter part of the month. The volume of trade at these auctions is indicated in the fact that dur-| ing one sale more than $1,000,000 worth of pelts were sold in one day. The softness of the fur may sug- gest that the animal itself is timid and easily domesticated, but in truth it's just the opposite. Mink are fierce and quick, and handlers need thick gloves when working with them. Since a female mink can pro- duce four kits each season, usually in May, one one-quarter of the stock need be kept for breeding purposes. The others are pelted in November. Mink used for breeding purposes can be kept four or five years, producing 16 to 20 offspring in that period, and then the breeding mink itself may be pelted. Age of the animal does not depreciate the quality of the fur. | GOODWILL GIFTS FOR REFUGEE CHILDREN WomEN were such good friends and I've never been jealous of Sue in my life, but I feel I shouldn't let things like that pass, as they might lead to sometthing else.

And Sam blew his top because he felt guilty and ashamed, and without a shred of moral defense, of himself or her. "Now we are mad at each other," you say, Well, don't re- proach yourself for that. Your jee. test was proper and justified. Any good wife would have taken a blunt stand against that sort of thing, recognizing by instinct that it was wrong--and wrongly motivated. And many wives, more worldly - than you, would have reached in to block Sue's game at the start, and expose it for what it was. It isn't a matter of jealouey, but rather a display of intelligence to be foresighted in trying to vent trouble, by stamping out seeds of temptation before they take root. This is how your per- formance looks to me, and I am sure Sam recognized your hiealthy- minded sincerity too. ive ideas.
