Opened Yesterday

FREDERICTON. March 0 --(CP)-

- The third session of New Bruno-

'.wick's dist Legislature opened in- day"l-vlth little indication of the Government's legislative plans.

The Speech from the Throne read by Lieutenant-Governor D. L. lidacLaren gave no hint of the public measures to be submitted. aside from further revision and consolidation of statutes.

One major piece of contemplated lmlslation was ennmmced prev- iously. however. It will change the Province's fiscal year-end from Oct. 31 to March 31 and nec- essitate two sets of estimates-for the periods Nov. 1. 1950, to March 81. 1951, and from April l. 1931, to March Bl. 1352.

some form of automobile insur- ance iegiilafion has been rumored as a result of study on the matter by government officials and a re- -port by a House camrnittee.

The Throne Speech announced that the Provincial Government "has indicated its approval” of Federal p. is for pensions to all persons over the age of 70 and those between 85 and 70 qualifying under a means test.

Otherwise the Speech was large- ly a review of the economic. health. social services and educa- tional fields.

Vast Herds 0f Seals Beingl Hunted Off The North Shore

Seals by the thousand are at present being hunted off the North shore of this Province by sealing ships from Norway and Newfound- land.

Dr. Dean Fisher. Ottawa, in charge of seal research for the Do- mlnlon of Canada. has been mak- ing a survey about twelve miles off Cavendish for the past few days, and states it is the first time for many years that such large num- bers of the mammals have been so close to this Island province.

He had been making his survey with M. C. A., and yesterday, through the co-operation of M. C.- A., was flown by Paul's Flying Ser- vice over the area in the hope that. the lighter craft would be able to land. It was planned that seals should be tagged and released. but because of the treacherous condi- tion of the ice it was not possible for the plane to land offtahore.

Dr. Fisher has been taking aerial mapping pictures of the herds, but so vast are the number of seals that consecutive pictures had to be taken in order to include them all. In addition to the many thousands of adult seals, many young white seals have been seen on the ice floes.

More than too hunters are walk- ing as much as five miles from their ships, travelling over the ice floes to reap a harvest. Five seal-

ing vessels are from Norway, and two from Newfoundland. , )

ST. JOHN'S. Nfid., March 5-4 (CP)-A huge herd of seals, 12' miles long and from two to four- milcs long. was located yesterday in the Gulf of St. Lawrence by the aircraft which has been chor- tered by the Federal Departmcnti of Fisheries to carry on its pro- gram of seal research.

A spotter in the plane said ihat the herd is about ten miles off shore and several ships are close by. Evidently the ships are the four Norwegians. Theron. Tem. Titus and Truls operating from Halifax. The men have al- ready begun killing.

The motor vessels Ice Hunter and Exploits from St. John's 11-e also close by the herd. the first large body of seals to be sighted this season.
