ﬁts N. s. Fishinig Capt.

Doesn’t Like Draggers

By il.lt. BOW

HALIFAX. March 1 — (CP) — «you curt go agln' the Lord and the weather."

Those were Capt. John Mills’ wntiments today as he sat in his wheelhouse cabin aboard the fish- In‘ schooner Greenrock. tied up at Halifax. On deck, crew members mapped ice five inches thick from wars, the rail, the vessel's running gear and the 12 dories stacked on her deck.

The Greenrock arrived in port yesterday with only nine tons of fish in her hold and lo tons of ice ﬁn deck. I-ier hold pens are built to handle 260,000 pounds of fish.

Capt, Mills had gone against the weather and suffered the conse- quences. In three days at sea he'd been able to make only one "set". ; half-day's work for the vessel's 2s.mnn crew.

on the banks off the Nova Sco- tla coast a dozen other fishing gchooners were “hove to." drifting with the swell and riding out the blow. Skippers are cussing the white caps which mean no fishing ind dories stacked six on each side it the vessel's foremast..

Tough Winter

It‘s been a tough winter for the Banks’ fishermen. Figures compil- ed by the Fisheries Department show the cod catch landed at Nova qnotia ports in January was 5.- 333.500 pounds. In 1940 it was 0.- 391500 pounds.

What makes skipper Mills sore is the fact that he hasn't had a. :hance to really try out his vessel, latest addition to the Lunenburg schooner fleet. Since Feb. l5. when

the Greenrock cleared from her home port for the first time, the 142-foot schooner's dorymen have been able to wet their lines only four and a half days.

As dory fishermen split the catch proceeds with the. vessel owners on I 60-40 basis. the bigger the catch the more figures on the men's pay 61100008. It’! a gamble. depending on the appetite of the fish. and as Captain Mills puts it. “the lord and the weather."

Trawiers and draggers aren't bothered so much by weather. They can fish in blows up to so mile: .11 hour, whereas the dorymen "lly in" when winds reach 15 miles.

But Capt. Mills has no use for the draggers with their nets scooping up the fish from the bottom of the sea. The six-foot, four-inch skipper has been fishing for 34 years since he was 14, when he first went aboard a schooner as “ketch- le" or handyman, at English Har- bor. Nfld.

Dragging with a net is to Capt. Mills “a cowardly way to catch flsh." Continue the argument and he'll add vehemence, "those fellows take everything, even fish too small to bite a hook. I'll stick to the dry."

Determined To Nationalize Steel Industry

Churchill Suggests Elec- toral Reform B u t Meets Labor Opposi- tion. ‘

By ALAN HARVEY

LONDON, March '1 -- (OP) — The Labor Government today spurned a proposal by Winston Churchill that nationalization of the steel industry be postponed un- til at least nine months after the next general election.

Herbert Morrison. Deputy_Prime Minister, rejected the suggestion by the Conservative leader as "a quaint idea.” .

Churchill said the Conservatives would withdraw their amendment to the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne "regret- ting" no mention was made of the steel issue if Labor agreed to his suggestion.

Liberal leader Clement Davis in- dicated his group of nine members will not support the Conservative amendment, scheduled for a vote Thursday. -

Thus it appears likely that Labor will win if able to‘muster its full voting power in the House of Commons, where it has a majority of seven.

Note of Bitterness

Morrison and Churchill injected a note of bitterness into the de- bate. When the Deputy Prime Minister accused Churchill of pre- dicting a further devaluation of the pound. the Conservative lead- er was raised to visible anger.

Members of the new Parliament also heard a Conservative bid for parliamentary committee on elect- oral reform. a Liberal call for three-power peace talks and a re- hash el pre-election claims by rival parties.

Churchill said the Conservatives would not press their amendment if “the government will give an assurance that the position of the steel industry will not be worsened because of the present deadlock nr by its indefinite prolongation.”

Coalition 6ov't For Greece o Is Forecast

ATHENS, March 7 -(AP) —- A coalition government made up of the Le-ftist National Progressive Union and three centre parties is likely to emerge from Greece’: par- il ‘ ,7 election, observers said today.

Returns from 3.522 of the 4,015 precincts which voted su.nda.y. as reported by the Minister of In- terlor. were:

P°f>ulists. led by Constantin Tsaldaris, (royallst), 261.091; Nat- ional Progressive Union. Gen. Nicholas Plastirss (left). 249,M8; Liberals. Sophocles Venizelos (centre), 239,119; Social Democrats George Papandreou (centre). L53,- 5l7; Republic Front, Job 11 Bophlsnopou-los (left). 151,119; In- dependent Political !’-‘ront, (right). 108.413.

Tsaldarls, whose Populist Party dominated the pailiament. edged Tuesday into a. late lead over the National Progressive Union of Gen. Nicholas Plastirss. by grace of the soldiers’ vote. How- ever, the margin is believed too slim for Tsaida-ris to be able to foxvm a. lasting government.

Under constitutional custom King Paul is obliged to give the party which gains the most parliamentary seats the mandate to form a government, but Tsaldiu'- is finds himself virtually isolated from support by any other party.

SIAMESZS TWINS

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March 'I—(CP)-- Siamese twins. born yesterday joined face-to-face at the abdomen, were reported doing well in hospital today.

Doctors said the twins, "normal in other respects," were “doing well." They declined to say whether an attempt would be made to separate them.

Parents of the twins are Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Lovell, both mem- bers of families with twins. They have no other children. .

The government could do this by giving a definite assurance that the vesting date for the steel take- over — scheduled for next Jan. 1- should be nine months after the next general election, whenever that may be. Churchill said.

Many expect a new election with- in the next 12 months because of Labor's slim majority. ,

Davies said he saw no purpose in Churchill's proposal, and added that another election within three or four months would be "unthink- able". '

The act covering nationalization of iron and steel was passed in the last Parliament but does not go into effect until Jan. 1, 1961.

Demand! Debate

The Churchill- Morrison ex- change came after Churchill, in a. hard-hitting speech, demanded "I full and candid" debate on Brit- ain's economic situation.

After declaring that devaluation last September had procured the effect of forcing the country to work one-third longer hours to earn the same quantity of dollar imports as before devaluation. Churchill said:

"There is also danger that fur- ther devaluatlon may become nec- essary."

Morrison. speaking later, said he thought it "very bad" that Church- ill "in the hearing of the world" should say there would be a fur- ther devaluation.

Morrison indicated the govern- ment is not likely to yield to a de- mand for an economic debate. He said it would be sort of a “pre- budget budget debate" and as such. Sir Stafford Cripps. _Chanoellor of the Exchequer, would be unable to say anything useful in it.

Churchill surprised the House by suggesting a committee to invest- igate the whole question of elect- oral reform. After a blistering at- tack on the Liberals, who have been advocating such reform, Churchill said:

“We must not be blind to the anomaly that has brought to this House of Commons lite representa- tives who are returned only by a minority of those who voted in their constituencies."

Morrison also rejected this pro-

posal. The Liberals polled more than 2.500.000 votes in the election but won only nine seats.

14. '.l‘l.'lEY CALI. ME “SUCCESS . STORY"

By Lane Bryant

The faith of our fathers is strong within us . . . and the influence of our grandparents helps us in eno- ments of distress and decision. Lane Bryant, immigrant girl at 13. now has a great Fifth Avenue store bearing her name, and a four-acre mail-order plant in Indianapolis fills over 10,000 orders a. day. Be- gun on a. needle and thread basis, the Lane Bryant sales now are in the fifty million dollars a year bracket.

I was born Lena Itiizumelsieln in a small village in Lithuania and my mother died when I was ten days old. My older sister and I were brought up by our grand- parents.

For generations all the men in my family had been rabbis. educat- ed but poor. In my childhood, Jews were not allowed to go to Czarist schools but my grandfather taught me reading, writing and arith- metic. and knowledge far more important.

Always his firm rich voice lived with me, instructing me: "Any work that helps another human be- ing has dignity. The only real suc- cess comes from filling a human need." And in desperate times, his tones would echo in memory, with the words of the ralmud: “Forget not your God.”

My sister migrated to the United states early. and when I was 18 years old, some distant relatives offered to take me in loot.

Dollar A Week

My sister was a seamstress in a shop, and there I was hired for one dollar a week. Soon I found anoth- er job. as s first class machine operator at four dollars a week more. I met, and within a year married David Br,-ant. a jeweler, older than I. and in my eyes a sophisticated man of the world. Ten months later our son Raphael was born, and within s. year my husband, David Bryant, had died. As I hugged my infant son to me. lonely and worried, I felt I could .hea.r my grandfather's voice repeating: "Remember me, o my God, and wipe out not my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God."

The wedding gift from my bus- band of a. pair of diamond earrings was oftened pawned to pay on c, sewing-machine--or rent. With I baby, I could not go out to . work. but I could do piece work at home and live with my sister. So I start- ed an _..n-the-premises business of fine bridal lingerie.

These I delivered personally. sometimes waiting hours to be paid. Money was necessary to buy material to make more.

In a few years. i opened a real shop on the first floor of at five- story building on Fifth Avenue and main street. Nearby was Mt Maurice Park with grass and trees and a place to air the baby.

“I had been suffering from bronchitis for some time without obtaining any real relief. My niece happened to pay me a visit and advised me to try Nerviline.

coat in the window, and in the back I worked at my machine. 03- ten with my baby on my lip--l’-hﬂ child that was to grow up to be president of the business. My trade grew entirely from the fact that one customer would recommend me to another.

In 190’! I borrowed $300 from my brother-in-law to open a.‘- bank account. Now there would be a real shop separate from our living quarters. But the bank so awed me. the papers and whole procedure so rattled me that I signed my name L-A-N-E instead of LENA,- and then was too embarrassed to try to explain. From that day on, I was Lane Bryant.

My work began to be known at an astonishing rate All the cus- tomers, as they married and ex- pected babies, needed many negli- gees, for in those days women kept to the house in pregancy. But my fate was decided when an expec- tant mother tearfully pleaded:

“I want so terribly to entertain at home. Couldn't you design I gown to hide my condition?"

A Challenge

That problem challenged me-- and I found that by inserting an elastic in the waist band of a silk sun-pleated skirt, the customer could wear it without provoking comment. Soon others clamored for the same service of disguise, and there I was launched on a career of designing for expectant mothers.

The first time I heard an eager young wife say, "Oh, you don't know what it means to me to have my husband's business friends to dinner and not feel a iireaki" I knew I had found more than a living. I realized now right my grandfather was. I was filling a real need: here was a definite service. _,

Maternity and its problems he- came my chief concern, and for this women flocked to me and Wrote when they moved away.

The.business was almost more than I could handle when I met the man who was to shape the rest of my life. Albert Malsin was born on the Baltic shores, had studied engineering in Germany and had travelled widely. We were married in 1909. He had A vision; he saw the true future of the business.

In four years, children, and for

we had three their sake we

iinued to design new models at the store until a few weeks before each child was bom--sporting my own best expectancy clothes.

A Painting

One wedding anniversary Albert gave me a painting which he had bought in Europe on one of his trips. It is a very beautiful thing-- a study at a Patriarch reading from the Talmud by candlelight. From my first sight of it, I was looking upon my grandfather. He might have posed for it. And who knows but the artist may have met him in his travels?

It seemed to me a definite mess- age. Those calm Old Testament eyes looked at me with quiet bless- ing. Agaln, as,of old, I could hear his voice filling the room with prayer. It brought me reassurance.

We enjoyed our home life, for Albert was basically a family man. we brought up our chlld'en in the faith of our fathers. Passover was a great yearly occasion. I sat at one end of the table, all in white; it was a gala feirt with as many as thirty or forty friends celebrating with us. And that pic- ture of "my grandfather" seemed . to preside.

In 1923, Albert died after a ho weeks‘ illness. Bin he had built I secure foundation for us all. h
