evening. A member of the bucket brigade, Mr. Earl Cole. was over- come by smoke in the loft and was taken to the Prince County Hos- pital where he was reported as resting comfortably last evening.

The lightning struck the peak of the building at one end and followed down to the floor where it set fire to a quantity of straw. A few boards and shingles were dislodged by the bolt but it was a few minutes before it was noted that a fire had been started The same bolt blew out a transformer on the electric line causing the lights to go out.

when it was noted that the straw was on fire a call was sent in

for the Summerside Fire Depart-

ment which sent a pumper. A bucket brigade was hastily organ- ized and it took the combined ef- ftrts of all concerned till after midnight before it was considered that the building was safe.

day at the meeting of the P. E. 1. Fisheries Development committee.

Mr. R. l.'. B. Romans, of the Fisheries Department Inspection service. Halifax. told how such shipment; had mushroomed in volume in New Brunswick factor- lea recently. The fresh meat is simply extracted from the lobsters and dumped into large can for shipment. If is less trouble than processing as the latter requires very careful washing.

However. he said. there was some danger of contamination be- cause of the lack of thorough washing; But it was thought that with greater care being taken by the packers this method of-ship- ping eventually could become a big business.

Discussion and explanation, of the recently instituted progeny tasting programme featured the annual field day of the Ayrshire Breeders Association of the Prov- ince held at the Experimental Farm yesterday.

one of the bleeding projects be- ing carried out at the Farm. this programme, using a bull of known qualities as I check against other selected purebred Ayshire bulls, is planned to compare the ability of the various animals to raise the production of daughters over dams. Full co-operation with the pure- bred breeders was stressed, and the hope was expressed that other outstanding bulls from among the herds of the breeders would enter the tests.

Present prospects are for a steadily expanding market for Irish moss due to the wide variety of uses to which it is being put by industry. the P. E. 1. Fisheries De- velopment Committee was told at the closing meeting of its present session 5 t f y afternoon. The Committee will meet again either Sept. 28 or 39 depenclinz on the arrival here of Dr. Stewart Bates. Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Ot- tawa.

It was stated at the meeting that toothpaste manufacturersare users of

the biggest individual Irish moss at present. although there are several other national

business houses using large IIUMW lties. The quality of Island moss had improved and as a result com- mercial users were now more fav- orably inclined towards buying here. The improvement had come through inspection. which is ent- irely voluntary.

Posslblllties of improving the value of Prince Edward Island's fishery industry by some form of general grading and more direct marketing of the major products. such as canned fish and fresh lobsters. through a Government sponsored agency, co-operative or other method. are discussed in a comprehensive preliminary report presented yesterday to the P. E- lsland Fisheries DeveloPmCnt Committee by Mr. H. Scott Gor-

don.

Assistant Professor of Economics at Carleton College. Ottawa, Mr. Gordon has been employed by the Federal Department of Fish- eries to make an economic sur- vey for the Committee. His re- port. presented in the form of a brief preliminary outline of the industry. deals with the various phases of production. processing and marketing, with comments on the general outlook which, it is emphasized. are not to be taken as final conclusions.

A National Film Board camera man was in Summerside yesterday making a news reel of the process of packing live lobsters at the can- nery of Jenkins Bros. Ltd. This is the only place in the world that lobsters are packed alive com- mercially. It is a very interesting process and has been developed by the Live-Pak Corporation of Bos- ton, Masa.. who have granted a franchise to the Island Trading Company. a registered partnership composed of ”essrs. G. F. Camer- on, W. E. Jenkins and J. B. Jenk- ina. They in turn granted a licence to Jenkins Bros. Ltd.

Lobatera are found naturally only in North Atlantic waters and they breathe in air from the wot- er so the general idea is to re- produce North Atlantic sea water synthetically. This is done by mean. of a substance. for which the Live-Pak Corporation holds
