wartime legislation the present parliament has been extended to tend years, Mr. Churchill main- tains that as a constitutional Premier the most he can authorize is present approval with pros- pective performance in due course.

That was the background of the occasion of Sunday's great speech. and in the 50 minutes he was on bis feet he made everything plain, ex- plicit and tmderstandable, leaving little doubts in auyottesunind regarding the course being pur- sued.

Through the streets of Chungking recently tnarcbcd 1o “treacherous merchants” who had been c011- victed of doing a bit of hedging on the rules. They wore Tibetan style paper hats and paper Waistcoats, on which were written their names and the charges against them.

Boys and girls in a Nova Scotia village, knowing of the success with which the grown- ups in different fishing settlements have applied co-opcrative methods in fisheries business, saw an opportunity for themselves last ycar as the Irish moss demand increased, They formed their own co-operative, with some suggestions and advice from their elders bclpittg them along, and appointed their own school-age of- ficers and directors. They used joint effort in gathering the moss and making it ready for ship- ment——cl€aning it, drying it, and so on-but the actual marketing nf their output is handled for tlicm by the United blaritititc Fislicrtticn, an association which also markets fishery products for numerous adult co-operative groups. In- directly, tl-te formation of this keen-age co-op- erative is the result of the special educational programme which the Dominion IMpIlTUHFHl‘ of Fisheries has sponsored in different fishing villages.

The total lobster catch for last season in the Maritimes was 16,272,300 pounds, as shown by unrevised statistics, as against pounds in the previous year. Adverse weather conditions in some of the areas combined with reduced ﬂlilﬂpOlV€f to pull down the landings. There are different legal lobster fishing seasons for various parts of the Atlantic coast, the lob- ster-produciilg area of the Dominion. 'l'hc fall season continues in a number of districts until

early in October. Later on, at mid-November,

the season opens in still other areas but it is

only in the so-cztllcd spring and fall seasons that lobster canning takes place. Although the total cannery pack showed a net increase during the

1942 spring season, this took place in New

Brunswick and Prince Edward Island areas

where lobstering was in progress at that time.

The New Brunswick pack, almost 7,700 cases. was 2,115 cases grcatcr than a year ago and the Prince Edward Island pack increased by 1.300 cases. Nova Scotia produced much the larger

|uantity of canned lobster. hut. even at that, its tack of 21,670 cases was stunllcr by tnnre than The

To pggpla upacqulinwu wlm the ftlsbory of the festival all this in- frigate calculation may seem to be mere complication for the mks 0! complexity; but, u a matter 0! fact, at the ttme the rule was adopted there was a highly D1119: tlca reason for it. In the Year 33° A.

But 1n 32a travel was much more arduous than 1t is to- day and mankind was far less well eguclipped to c098 with the Problem o or
