A hearing of the Commission in- quiring into the operations of the Fisherman's Loan Board was held Monday at the Parish Hall. nt Carmel. with Judge J. s. geslioches. Commissioner, presid-

I.

Thecnminission opened the meeting with remarks in both French and English explaining the purpose of the investigation and describing the type of infonmation required from those fishermen present and that anyone was free to make a statement.

Commission Counsel ' J. 0. C. Campbell, K.C.. then gave a brief outline of the set-up of the original Fishermeifs Loan Board and its functions and referred to the outright grant from the Dom- inion Government to be used to make loans to fishermen which. when paid back. would form a re- volving fund to be loaned out again and again. He stated that the fish- ermen felt it was relief or out- right ald to fishermen when loans were made in the early years and he wished that any man present would come forward and tell what he knew about the loans in gener- al and mention iritgularities, if they knew of any.

There followed a short informal discussion following which the Com- missioner asked for witnesses to give their statements.

Henry Gallant Sworn

Inquiry Into Fishermenls Loan Board Operations,

K saying that. but L never got any.

Q.-would you ssy that it was loaned out through means that seemed a little too easy? A.- Soundcd that way.

Q.-Were the lending any mon- ey to people w o weren't fisher- men? A.-oh. I couldn't tell you that they did.

Q.-we have heard talk that people who never 'wet: a net' get loans. A.-There was lots of talk about it. Whether they got them or not I don't know.

Q.-You say you don't know about any of those instances? A.- No, nothing.

Jaddua A ennnlt. sworn

Q.-In our earlier talk you re- called a. lot of those earlier loans that some of the others didn't know atbout-t'he thirty dollar loans about 1937 and 1938. A.- Yes. I was saying that at that time there were a lot of fishermen fish- ing then who are not fishing now. They didn't belong to any organi- zatlons and they had to get their stuff from merchants and some- times their bill was high. and they were getting that help to help keep them out. Whether or not they returned it. I don't know.

Q..-oould you tell us as a gen- eral rule that that was considered more as relief than 'lending mon- ey”? The general impression. A.- As far as I know it was a help but. youtwere supposed to return it. Times were hard.

Q.-As far as you understood it. it wasn't a gift. A.-No.

Q.-You said before that many of those people have died or mov- ed away. A.-Many that were fishing then don't fish now and haven't. for many years.

Q.-What. have you to say about. some of the other witnesses' state- ments about loans-there being something wrong about them-ir-. regularities-do you know of any loans that people got who werenit fishermen? A.-I don't: know very much about that. I am not prepar- ed to say if it was used in any other place.

Q.-I think you said a while ago -when Judge DesRoches asked if any bicycles were bought-you don't know anything about that? A.-No. not that I know of.

Q.-There is a question that was asked by the Judge in Rustico- Something about times being pretty hard from 1936 to the war. would you say so? A.-Yes.

Q.-And it is only recently fish-

Serious Fire

About three o'clock on Saturday afternoon fire at Victcria complet- iy destroyed a barn and shed on the farm belonging to Lloyd and Ivan Craig. All machinery in the barn was lost. The loss is estimat- ed at: 04.000. and it. is believed there

is no insurance.

The Cralgs. who had moved to Victoria from Bedeque in the spring. had Just completed re- modeling the barn 20 X 51. feet.

It is not known how the fire

started. The two children of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Craig were playing in the barn loft. The boy. aged five. informed his mother of the fire. and revealed that his sister, 4. was still in the loft. Mrs. Craig was able to rescue the child, though the fire was already well advanc- ed-.

The fire department at Crapaud responded to the alarm. The fire had gained so much headway that it was impossible to save the ham or the shed. but the men were able to keep the flames from spreading to the house and other buildings.-S

Dolltlses Poitier sworn

Q.-You ere telling us some- thing a w is ago in the informal discussion about an incident-first of all, you yourself don't remember anything about thou early loans. A.-The only thing I remember it was between 1930 and 1938. one fellow got I loan and I think it was a lawyer applied for him and this fellow bought equipment and he was told by the iswyer tbst. he wouldn't have We repay this loan. that it was money granted by the Dominion Government.

That. was def- initely not to be repaid. Then the only irregularity that you heard of was in connection with direct re- lief. A.-That's right.
