One year later Donagh school! ,| district joined the unit and in 1954 a new four-room school was built et Fort Augustus. The pupils within a certain distance were transported by two trans- portation systems.

“The consolidation of this area has been a successful one’’, said Mr. ‘Clark, “not only in area but in the number and attendance of pupils’.

The unit was enlarged in 1954 with the addition of Donagh school district and now with the addition of Watervale and Dro- more, it is expected that the unit will enjoy’ even greater suc- cess, the Minister said.

Mr. Clark said Fort Augustus school unit has demonstrated be- yond doubt that the harger unit can provide better facilities for school children and suggests that it may well be a good example for other districts to follow.

== Alberton Fishermen

Are Hauling In Traps

ALBERTON — Many lobster fishermen at Alberion were. hau!- ing in their gear and calling it a season rather than try to replace heavy storm losses at this late daie in the season, it was learn- ed last night.

Storm losses of from fifty to sixty percent were reported as common among the fishermen in this vicinity .

Faced with the loss of ‘large gumbers of traps and the almost impossible task of repairing hun-

for many years.

Fishermen operating close in- shore were the hardest hil. Bill

A serious shortage of bait is Tignish coupled with storm lose- es and damage has caused many fishermen to give up for the sea-

The word from Eastern fisher

In the Sturgeon - Gaspereaux area many of the fishermen had moved their gear to deeper water due to the poor inshore fishing, consequently their losses were less severe. However areas such as Annandale and WLaunch- ing where fishermen normaly move to shallow waters this time of year, suffered heavy losses.

The majority of fishermen is these areas are not insured. z

There were-no reports of boat losses between Tracadie and Rus- tico but the damage to fishing gear appeared heavier closer to

Covehead fishermen escaped the storm because some 40 per- cent of their traps were pulled out for the season early last week. ¢

There had been ‘heavy losses of gear in previous storms tive spring and summer.
