0haplin’s Famous Little Man In “field Rush”

One of the many factors which stand out in the minds of the aud- lance after seeing a Charlie Chaplin picture is that the film invarlabry closes with the Little Fellow walk- ing away from the camera. alone- hi; pathetically jaunty figure trudg- lng toward the horizon-in the hope of better things to come-

So, the audience leaves the thea- tre with a. laugh on its lips but. a lump in its throat, for such frus- tration in the case of the Little Fel ow doesn't seem fair. Life never mates out to him his fair propor- Linn of the good things he deserves. For Charles famous character is

he symbol of all that is pathetic. vzood and k‘iid in the human race. He never rebels except at an im- kindness or injustice done to some person other than himself.

However, in "The Gold Rush". Charlie veers away from the usual Chnnlfii formula. Perhaps when Charlie was writing th‘g particular stoiy, he. too, rehelcd at life's rmlrzli treatment of the Little Foll- o . At any rate. in “The Gold Rush," the popular

p by Mr. WE. Shaw. Deputy Minister of lculture. 1h i941 Prince lidwar Island exported

309.000 lbs. which increased in 1942 to 1.483.185 lbs.

In Nova Scotia the number of pounds exported Jumped from pounds in 1H1 to 49.800 in In New Brunswick, while there Is no record available for 194i. the number of pound; exported in i942 was 26,049.

5a carloada and M l.e.l.‘e were

shipped from file following Ints in the Province, ‘rignish, St. ula, Wellington, Hunter River, Bouria,

Murray Harbour, Elmira.

Dealers and producers of Irish moss have held a conference in Charlottetown during the put year and have secured information regarding the marketing and pro- cessing of the product and they have set up a committee for fur- ther study of_these matters.

Need of Supervision

The hope of those interacted in the further development of this lucrative industry, states Mr. Shaw is that there would be a greater organized effort under the super- vision of some experienced person appointed for that purpose. Accord- ingly, an attempt has been made to locate a Natural Resources man, who wouid be an authority on the bleaching, processing and market- ing of the product and one who would also give attention to the other natural resources of the Province such as forestry. deve1op-| ment of cranberry svumps and blueberry barrens. Unfortunately it‘ has not been possible to procure such a man.

The Provincial Department of ABDculture has been working stead- ily in close co-operatlon with Dr. AW H. Needler. Fisheries Rie- seai-ch Board of Canada, St. And- rews, N B. and with the Depart- mcn at Ottawa in investigaflng the uses and value of this industry.

It takes five and a half or six Dfilllids of green pulled moss to make one pound of dried, un- bleached moss. The methods of bleaching Irish moss have been

It le thought bv some nuthorltles| that the quality of moss gathered later than Sept. is inferior. In com- menting 0n that view. Mr. Shaw, stated: "If sudh is the case there is merit ln the closed season after September, as I consider a. gre deal depends on the establishment of a high quality moss and a re- putation for the product going out from the nee. Onlv the very best shoul be packed for export. As the indust y is only in its in- fancy here no grading standards have as yet been established.

The scarcity of man-power during war time should not seriously impede the progress of the indust- ry. as the work of gathering ft with rakes from rocks during low tide and filing baskets with the moss is light work which ean be partl- clpated in by all members of the family.
