6ov'i Experts Primed For Trial Census

OTTAWA. Oct. 18 —(CP) -— Government experts srre primed for a trial census among 120.000 Can- adians this Saturday which will mark the beginning of streami-lined and revolutionary changes in the official art of counting noses.

It will test new machinery and methods being groomed for the regular Canadian decennial census in i951 but its results will be watched all around the world. Of- ficials hope ii will cut census costs by half and produce the main facts in from six to nine momthb. less than haii the traditional period.

Seven areas have been sinslsd out for the trial run. lnciudifll tilt Lunenburg area of Nova, lcotia: parts of Montreal; a portion of Toronto's Rtosicdaie electoral dist- flqt; Ibtt Q0111. 5C.

The following interesting article is‘ from the Prince Rupert, B. C. Daily Times of recent date:

Four Prince Edward Island fisherman who made a SJOO-mlla motor trip from their home to Prince Rupert are probably the

ever had a boat wrecked on dry

qusrtette are Court, mustached leader of the Court family and his three grown sons, Quintin, Emard and Veard of North Rustico, and they came west to sac what is doing in the fishing line. Things, according to the elder Court, are slowing down s-bit back east.

So on September 1, they put their bedrolls in their 1941 Olds- mobile and headed west. And they

went west—-as far west as they could go. Namely, the Queen Charlotte Islands.

Before they left they loaded their 32-foot boat, the Linda,

aboard a railway flatcar just so they would have something to fish with when they got here. That's where the shipwreck came in. Seems a landslide hit the flai- car in the interior of B.C., knock- lnE the wheels out from under it. UP to yesterday Mr. Court hadn't heard how the boat itself had made out.

The Court odessey was no spur- cf-thc-moment migration. It was the product of careful planning after canny preliminary invggflgg. tion. If it hadn't been for the dry land shipwreck they probably even now would be wetting their long-lines in the west gidq of Hecate Strait instead of waiting around Prince Rupert.

"Things aren't as lively in the fishing industry in Prince Edward island as they used to be," Mr. Court said. "Not that they are really bod, mind you, but they are slackening off a bit. So just in case things really began‘ to go down hill we decided to investi- ssu; some other part of the coun-

y.

"Ws had heard about the Queen Charlotte Islands so last fall, I de- cided to learn about them. Sub- scribed to the Prince Rupert Daily News and read all I could about the district. The village of Tlell struck our fancy so'we wrote a letter to Mr. Gigerich there and we entered into correspondence.

“As a result, they have a house to go to at Tleli. This,for thqtime being, will be the western out- post of Court expansion and it. may become a permanent base if things go right.

Are Confident

"Haven't any fear that we can make our living fishing," said Mr. Court. "The boys have been soa- mcn and fishermen since they could walk. Things are a bit dif- ferent out hero but it shouldn't take us ions to got the hang of

Mr. Court was impressed with what he termed the great amount of regulation in the fishing in- dustry on the West Coast as com- pared with the East Coast.

"Out bore it seems you have to have licenses for everything and the fishing time is regulated too. Back there about the only thing that is regulated in any way is tiée lobster fishery," he comment- Q .

The cod fishery, which has been the Court's onomic mainstay, is open all year round and no one requires a license to take part in it, he said.

Incidentally, the family not only fishes, but they also operate a fish curing business and a retail shop which markets their products.

The family isn't cutting itself off from its solid base at North Rustlco. Aware that they arrlvccl hero too late for fishing this sca- son, Mr, Court plans to remain at Tieil a few weeks, then return East with one of the boys. The other two will remain here and gefihings in shape.

"Maybe, after we get going out here we might establish perman- ently. 1t's a little early to tell.

yet. .

The family came West on a

leisurely tour, camping out often. occasionally staying at a tourist camp. They travelled through. New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario to Ssult Sta Marie then through the northern states from Michigan to Montana and into Alberta at Sweetgrass. They entered B. C. at Banff, coming ovcr the B18 Bend Highway to Kamioops and then north. “Except for that train wreck we would have arrived here about the same tirns as our boat." Mr. Court said. ‘Then we could have sailed it across to Ticli, Now, with the weather so uncertain. I guess we'll have to ship it across on a steamer. Sure hope it's all right. Soerns a pity to ship it that far and have it damaged. . ."

Our memories are sweet as we think of the days of our childhood and young womanhood and young manhood. You were always kind, but sometimes you did not spare the rod and thus spoil the child. You both taught us to reverence God and to cher- ish the opportunities for family and church worship.

"We feel very proud tonight that we have tho privilege of re- juicing with you on your fiftieth wedding anniversary, and cl- though, Neil, who laid down his lifo for his country, and Mildred, (Mrs. James Buchanan of the U.S.A.) are not with us tonilht. they too, share in this happy oc- casion, in the spirit.
