New Fishing Methods And Problems Discussed At Meeting Yesterday
Princ Edward Island. which was the first Province in Canada tn create an all-embracing Federation c! Fisheries. is again first in Ebtlb- ll-Shlna the panel discussion method of airing fisheries’ problems. This method will be used again within a few days in New Brunswick and, 1f satisfactory there. will set the pattern for the East Coast Fisher. 1N Council meeting in Fredericton in February. declared Mr. Clive Planta- manager of the Fisheries Council of Canada. yesterday after- D0071.
Stating the panel discussion to have been a "great: success." Mr. Planta congratulated the chairman Prof. Frank MacKinrlon, on an “ex- cellent job" and the other mam. bers of the panel for a "fine per-
fonnance." The meeting was ex- copiionally well attended.
An interested member of the audience was lion. Erugene Cullen. Minister of Industry and Natural Resources. Members of the panel
were Messrs. Alban MacAdam, n1“. ell, representative of fisherman; Howard MoKichan, manager, Unit- ed Maritime Fishermen; Gene Gor- man, chairman. Fishermen: Loan Board and John B. Myrick, Tignish. director o! Fisheries Council of Canada.
Before opening the panel discuss- ion. Prof. MaoKinnon stressed the importance of the discussion and appealed for quesiiom from the floor and an active exchange of opinions.
Questions Discussed
Some thirteen questions of basic knportance were discussed and con- clusions showed in general that the farmer fisherman should be en- couraged and. if necessary. assisted to maintain the present economy and that off-shore fishing fleet should be established 0n a full-time fishing basis. The necessity for ex- tensive research, study and surveys was stressed in conclusion by Mr. Gorman.
On tho question of whether Is- land fishermen were taking full ad- vantage of their present opportun- lties, Mr. MacAdam believed lob- ster fishing should be stressed 1.1 preference to mackerel. He believed the Government should send a. small dralzlzer of! to explore off- shore fishing grounds. Mr. Myrick pointed out the danger of draggers to ln-shore fishing without good harbours. Mr. Gorman supported tho dragger experiment idea.
A comparison of the lot of Is- land and Gaspe fishermen. drew Mr. McKlchans opinion _ that the Island fisherman had as many op- portunities if not so good har- bours.
Regarding ihe necessity for new type boats, gpdl‘ and equipment», MY- Myrick did not think it had proved itself as yet elsewhere. Mr. Mac- Adam advocated the Government taking tho lead in developing larger boats for off-shore fishing. Mr. Mc- Kichan agrccd that Govemmerit should take the lead with loans at not more than 3 per cent.
Harbours Question
Geno Gunman then brought up the question of a number of har- bours sllting in and stated they should be saved before it is too late. "If ihe fishermen get the D0015- they‘l.l take rare of themselves. This is one tool they must have." he de- clared. Mr. Myrlck and Mr. Mac- Adam both agreed.
Considerable discussion arose a5 to whether there was adequate shore facilities and whether theso ghould be extended with or without Government aid. It was Benefit-ll? agreed that the Government should take the lend and that consolidation

Boston's Mayor Curley Defeated
BOSTON, Nov. 8 — (AP) — Mayor Jnmcs ltlichzlel Curley— one of the lnsf of the old-time political bosses still in power in the Uniicil States - was thrown out of office tonight.

For Inspection Of IrishMpss
OTTAWA, Nov. 8 — (Speciall- With only minor amendments. the Government's Fish and Marine Plants Inspection Bill today pass- ed commitlee stages and now goes back to the Commons for approval. Today's sessions were devoted chiefly to clauses pertaining to the inspection of marine plants of which Irish moss harvested at Rustico and Tignlsh, Prince Ed- ward lslnnd, is a notable example.
Reason for Irish moss inspec- tion, J. Watson MacNaught, parlia- mentary assistant to the Fisheries Minister, told the committee is to assure a clean and uniform pro- duct for export purposes.
Prior to World War II, Mr. MacNailght said. North American needs for this product were furn- ished chiefly from southern FY5068 and Norway. During the war these SfIllfCPS of supply were cut off and the moss worked commercially on the coast of Prince Edward Island and the Nova Scotia county of Shcllburne.
"If Canada can maintain a sup- ply of clean and-uniform moss." the parliamentary assistant said. “there is no reason why present markets cannot be maintained and perhaps expanded. It irthe active principle thnt makes jellies jell. It is used in scores of food industries. keeps the chocolate in suspension in chocolate milk, is extensively used in the pharmaceutical trade and by the. Kraft Company among others. It can be either bleached or unbleached. In the past there has been some voluntary inspec- tion snd grading of the moss but in viriv of the importance of the industry we fcel there should be compulsory government inspec- lion."
Committee members agreed that inspection of the moss was desir- nble and approved the clause cov-

Fees & Weight Regulations
A new schedule of fees for mo- tor vehicles and new weight regu- lations for trucks and trailers in Prince Edward Island. have been approved by the Lieutenant Gov- ernor-in-Council under the pro- visions of the Highway Traffic Act, and will become effective on January 1, 1950, it was announc- ed yesterday by Hon. J. Wilfrid Arsenault, Provincial Secretary.
The new schedule simplifies registration since the tax is based on the weight of the truck un- laden rather than the weight of tbe vehicle and load to be carried as heretofore, In many cases, under the old system, the weights to be carried were under-estimat- ed. Under the new rates the tax will be approximately the same as before if, generally speaking, the truck had been registered for the weight it actually carried. For- merly the only load restriction was the gross weight for which the vehicle was registclzd, except at those times in the Spring “when weight limitations were placed in effect by order of the Lieutenant- Governor-in-Council.
Under the new system trucks must not have a greater gross

-“I don't know how far citizens are interested in traffic lights. but I do know there is not going to ue any surplus this year and that. next year. if we are ‘going to bai- ance the budget, citizens will hav: to dig down to pay increase-i taxes - not accounting for any traffic lights," declared Mayor Earle MacDonald. in defending the City Council's attitude on tins question at. a Board of Trade din- ner function lust night.
The Mayor was present to we.- come the members of the Prince Edward Island Fisheries Federa- tion who were guests of the BoarJ on the Occasion of their adjourned annual meeting and panel discus- sion. Mr. Frank Curtis was in the chair.
Al: the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting in which strong representations had been made to the City Council by the Board on traffic lights. the Mayor came under a. barrage of Smiles from the assembled guests and some ribbing from his neighbour at the head table, Premier J, Wal- ter Jones.
Board Survey Cited
On business arising out of the minutes, President Curtis stated that the Board had been in cnn- tact; with an experienced firm re- garding the cost of iIlStnlllflg trai- fic lights and that they hnd also replies from the towns of Amherst, Sackvllle and Moncton. Contrary to the figure of $25,000 originally proffered by Council, stated liir. Curtis, the information of the 30nd was that traffic lights cou‘<i be installed for a much less am- ount. The report had been tabled with the Mayor and City Cour.- cil, Members could read this re- report after the meeting on ap- plication to the secretary.
Maj. T.B. Rogers felt that the figure should be given at the meeting, Mr. Curtis said the fig- ure waa in the vicinity of $800 per intersection or some $3200 for the
four intersections under consider- atlon. The Mayor. when called on,
promptly declared that thnre are different kinda and costs of traf- fic llghts just as there are differ- ent kinds and coats of cars. "Our committee went into the whole matter thoroughly," he said. He then made his rtatement on in- censed taxation.

First Major Test 0f Truman's “Fair Deal” Plan
By Joe Hall
NEW YORK, Nov. a -' 1.11’) - A tlds o! Democratic votes to- night swept Herbert H. Lehman into the United States Senate and retained the party's control of the country's largest city.
Lehman, four times Governor of New York and s strong supporter of President Truman's “fair deal", had a margin of 201,000 votes over Republican -Senator John Foster Dulles with more than one-third of the election districts reporting.
At 10:40 P.M. AST the Demo- cratic state chairman, Paul E. Fitz- patrick, claimed victory for Leh- man.
Democratic Mayor William O'- Dwyer, running for a second term in a hot fight. held a commanding lead over two opponents in New York City. “
The New York Times and New York Herald-Tribune, both of which supported Dulles and New- bold Morris. O‘D\vyer‘s Republi- can-Liberal-fusion opponent, said Lehman and O'Dwyer had been elected.
The Lehman-Dulles fight st- tracted wide national interest as the first major test of the "fair
deal" program of social legisla- ltlon since the 1948 presidential election.
Dulles, holding an interim Sen- ate appointment from Governor Thomas E. Dewey, opposed most of Truman's domestic program.
In the Senate race, returns from 4,215 cf the State's 9,565 elec- tion districts gave Lehman 1.205,- 750. Dulles 1,004,497.
Lehman was running much bet- ter both upstate and in the metropolis than he did three years ago. That year, he was beaten for the Senate by Republican Irv-
71-year-old former Governor ever lost.
In the New York City election. with 1.525 of 3.889 election districts reporting, O'Dwyer had 490.342 votes. Morris 355.247 and represen- tative Vito Marcantonio, the Am- erican Labor Party nominee, 125,- 898.
Republican mayors were ousted in such upstate cities as Syracuse, Binghargpton ancl Geneva. How- ever, te Republicans also cap- ‘tured some czty administrations from the Democrats.
Berrytirowers Meet At Amherst
AMHERST. N25. Nov. 8 -(CP)— A special meeting of the Maritime Strawberry Association. held here today as part of the Maritime Win- ter Fair, discussed the necessity of a central marketing bureau for the handling of strawberry crops "r the.

Strawberry growers said that last year Maritime markets were glutted with fruit and that this resulted in a loss to the growers. A central bureau would assure growers of ri steady market and help distribute the product more evenly.
Strawberry growers at ihe meet- ing came from Berwick. Masstown. and Amherst, NS; biemramcook and Grand Lake, N.B.; and Char- lottetown, Summerside and Mount Stewart. P.E.I.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 --(AP) — Convinced that the steel strike is nearly over. United states Govern- ment mediators turned today to the soft coal contract deadlock, calling John L. Lewis and operators to a meeting hero Thursday.
The fact that three major steel companies now have reached agree- ments with Philip Murray's United Steelworkers (0111).) was regarded by Government officials as s sign of a quick and to tho 39-day-old steel walkout.
The coal strike, which now has‘ lasted 51 days, was not so easily written off. Conciliation director Cyrus s. Ching, in a telegram to the contending parties, noted that col- lective bargaining "has failed to result in an agreement," and asked mokesmen for each side to a mediation meeting.
