Dominion to Care For Historic Sites Premier Government's Intention Regarding Preservation Quebec.--F'rom now on the Domin- ion Government will look after the historic sites and monuments in Can- ada, an interviewer was informed by Premier Mackenzie King when he was in Quebec for the purpose of greeting Hon. Peter C. Larkin, Canadian High Commissioner to London. Work will start on the ancient walls and fortifications of "Quebec, but in addition to this province there are sev- eral other points which deserve con- sideration, among them Louisburg and Hudson Bay. The Prime Minister said: "The pol- icy of the Government is to maintain, but there | and where necessary, to reconstruct, to such extent as may be in the public interest, the historic sites and monu- ments of Canada. "In this connection, it is the Gov- ernment's intention to see that the ancient walls and fortifications .of Quebec are properly cared for and {000 was made during the recent ses- sion of Parliament for the restoration of one of the gates and the rebuilding of the Earl Grey Terrarce, which lies between the citadel and the river, and | which, for some time past, has been closed to the public on account of the dilapidated and dangerous condition in which it has been left.

Silver Fox Fur Gains Favor In All Markets! Many Countries Now Seeking Pure Bred Stock From Canadian Ranches The principal market for silver fox furs up to the outbreak of the war had been in Europe, market in the United States, where sales hitherto had ben comparatively small, Despite the recent heavy duty levied by the United States on imports of silves foxes and their pelts, there is still an increasing demand in that country for Canadian silver fox stock. Ranch-bred silver fox furs are an important item at the Canadian Fur Sales at Montreal, and there are also Indications of a marked revival in the! cy European market for these furs. Large sales of live foxes for founda- tion stock are made to the New Eng- land States and to central and western United States and Canada, which, coup- led 'with shipments to England, Scot- land, Norway, Sweden, France, Ger- many, Switzerland, Cuba and other countries, indicate the wide distribu: tion of Prince Edward Island pure- {Pred 1 The jected Chi sky of the record height of just over a thousand feat is believed to be the outcome of an increasing desire to get away from the underworld, Pay " 2 * but after hostilities | began the silver fox breeder sought a [Five-Galted Horses Arouse Interest For Royal Fair interest, according t Press message Exceplional a Canadian nouncement that the Royal Winte Fair at Toronto wculd introduce five: gaited horse classes at the. hig Can adian fair next November, This pioneer move by the Royal Winter Fair was warmly commended including Robert Moreland, Lexingtcn, Ky.; H. 8, Cay- and others. by veteran Mat Cohen, rider-owners, of California; wood, Middleton, Ky.; Important entries are assured for th coming Royal Winter Falr, includin horses from the Minton Stables at Barbourville, Ky., and Uplands, Pa.

Five-jaited horses are claimed t be a special product of Kentucky. Old-time breeders bought Ontari horses of great speed and endurance to cross with American saddle horses. Marguerite Farlee Bayliss, well known throughout the United States as an authority on the history and blood- lines of horses, says that Peter the Great traced directly to a Canadian stallion of whom nothing is known except that he was brought south from Ontario. . . . He was also the ancestor of the southern saddle horse breed whose descendants form sev- eral strong strains throughcut saddle horse history in Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and Missourl. The alert, animated movements of the five-gaiters should appeal instine- tively to Canadian horsemen, as the type is virtually unknown in the Do- minfon. All through the "horse states" one hears of a coming boom for the saddle horse, especially the five-gait- ed type.

He referred to the value of "sun-bathing" and the opportunities afforded for this in the public parks, which come under his Jurisdiction. "When I spent a fortnight at the seaside this year 1 saw numbers of children running about almost naked, enjoying the sun's rays, and I was very much struck with the improvement in thelr condition within a few days," Mr. Lansbury said. "I spent one day going around the London parks looking for suitable places where children may get all the sun they want. There are diffir culties in connection with the matter, but I believe our parks will be used a grout deal more in this way in the future." Mr. Lansbury added: "I hcpe to ar range for sun-bathing by the time next summer comes round."
