dition but it is big business in -this island in the gulf settled by the French long ago. Last year, «fior instance, island fishhennien landed more than 8,500,000 libs. Olf lobstens. That represented a landed value of $2,448,000. The market value would greatly ex- ceed that amount. '

Prince Edward I-island's fish- ery has a long history. It is not unlikely Eh-at the first known white men who sighted it——the in- trepiii explorers John Cabot and Jacques Cartier—had caught and eaten the cmustalceia that swar- med the island’s shore waters. ‘Even before that, the island’s ab- origrinial inhabitants —— the Souri- quois India-ns—depended on the sea, -to a large extent, for their _food. It was the Souriquois who gave Prince Edward Island its name, Albegweit—-in the musical language of the Souriquois that meanlt “cradled on the waves”. SINCE 1663 ‘

As early as 1663 it was the site of a large fishing st-ation. That was when Louis XIV, King of France, granted the island ter- mbory to a Captain Doublet, of the French Navy. It was not un- til 1719 that the Isle of St. J-oih'n—— -so-named by the French—-was ac- tually settled by Frenchmen. Com- mercial fishing w-ans prosecruted th-ere until the island became a British possession in 1758. It was later renamed Prince Edward Is- land in honor of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria. ‘

After the arrival of the Eng- lish, fishing was carried on to a degree necessary to meet the -flood needs of the settlers. How- ever, it was not until the mid- dle of the last century that a really substantial commercial fis- lieny was enstalblished. In 1859, an island dinaist wrote: “It is only in -the last five or six years llhat inhabitants of the island have entered into fishing operations on a large scale. But now they pos- sess a fleet fishing vessels quite well equipped as those in the Uni-ted States.”

since then the fishermen of Prince Edward Island have play- ed a big hand in the develop- ment of Canadian Atlantic fish- eries. Chief caught are cod, herring, mackerel, smelt, oysters and lobsters. Oysters of Malpe- tllle Bay are the delight of gour- mets in two hemispheres. The Malpeque product has often been termed “the worlds most per- fect oyster."

While a general fishery is pro- secuted, llcrblsters represent the -most vvaluaible species caught.

Edward Island but also to its sis- ter provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. PROTECTION

red of their colleagues in the trade. island fishermen are tak- ing advantage of the Fishermen’s Indemnity Plan. ‘This government -sponsored scheme provides in - surance against loss of lobster traps and against total loss and partial loss of boats. It is of in- terest to note that practically 100 per cent of the fishermen in the North Rustico district of the is- land have trap insurance. Popularity of boat insurance al- so continues to grow. More than 300 fishing boats are insured on Prince Edward Island, and last year 13 claims were paid tonal- ling more than $5,000.

LOW PREMIUMS

'I)he low cost of the insurance -the premiums are only one per cent of the value of the boat- coupiled with the constant perils of sea and hire encourage fish - men to protect their means of livelihood.

The annual banquet of the Baptist, Young People's Union of the Chatrlottetlowln Ulnited iBaptst Church was held Thursday evening bringing to a close a most successful season of activities. Special guests in- cluded Pirof. Bmuce Hodgins, Mr. Wallace Scantlebury, and Rev. and Mrs. H. L. Mitton. The president of the Union, Henry Sharam, acted as chair- man of the gathering, there being some forty—two present.

The committee in charge of the program included Meredith MacLeod, Paula Good, Sally Burke, and Matilda MacMillan, the latter two were ‘also in charge of the worship period. Following the supper. the young people enjoyed a lively sing- song directed by Bruce Hod- gins with Arthur Large .at the piano. A toast to the B.Y.P.U. was proposed by David Reed, the response being made by Henry Sharam. Barbara Vaug- han proposed a toast to the church, and the pastor and Youth Mentor, Rev. H. L. Milt- ton, replied. He called upon the young people to be faithful to =thei.r C‘.h1-isitian ideals, to their church responsibilities, and to their Lord and Master. The special speaker, Pro. Bruce Hodgins. dealt with the matter of race prejudice of the North American continent, re- ferring particularly to the prob-. lems involved in the southern United States with reference to the intgration program. The speaker ably traced the histor- ical origins of the racial ten- sions so much to the fore in our time, and called upon his hearers to appreciate the var- ious factors involved.
