81000 towards the building fund, but. nothing daunted, this group of devoted and energetic women assumed full responsibility for pay- ing off the debt of 55.000 remain- ing on the Church property.

They were allowed ten years in which to do this task but they will have accomplished it in just about five and one-half years! One club member has. by her own personal efforts. contributed over S200 an- nually to the project.

In the meantime the club has provided funds for finishing the Church kilclien: has also equipped the kitchen with a range. an oil- stove, silver, lineti and dishes and the Church hall with large tables.

Mrs. W.S. Jardine. who now re- sides in Port Elgin. was a former club president and very active in its endeavours.

The study was led by the Mis- sionary Convcnor, Mrs. Kenneth Maclnnis, assisted by Mrs. Alfred Chappell. It took the form of a question and answer period based on one of the current study books. "No Vanishing Race”-a study of Missionary work among the Can- adian Indians.

"Mite" boxes. for contributions to W.M.S. work, were accepted by the members in a brief ceremony conducted by the president. during which an appropriate scripture reading was given by Mrs. George Sharp and a short poem "The Might of Miles" was read by Mrs. Coggins.

Regret was expressed that sev- eral mcmbers were absent be- cause of illness. These included Mrs. I-is. Lotige. Mrs. Lorne Cou- sins and Mrs. George Birch. "Get Well" cards had been sent by the Friendship secretary. Mrs. Albert

Canadian Press Staff Writer

ST- JOHN'S. Nfld. (CP)-Along the crusted topof the mm, M. lnntlc from Baffin island to east- ern Greenland the yapplng and crying! of seal pupa has been grow- ing in a throatier chorus to mark the end of the long Arctic night.

The vast lcefielda now are break- lng free to become u ' ing rafts fining the horizon. drifting south. Ward '4? Drill their colonies of seals to their yearly rendezvous with death.

In St. John's and Halifax a small fleet of ships outfitted for the peril- ous seal harvest. once one of the most lucrative of north Atlantic enterprises. Only 11 ships sailed for the season which opened this week.

NORWAY SHARES HUNT

The Algerine and Terra Nova outvof St. John's are owned by Bowring Brdthers. Ltd. Out of Hai- ifax sailed the Arctic Sealer. Arc- tic .Prowler. Peary. Theta. Titus. Tern. Beater. Arel and Curling. The opening date is fixed by agreement between Canada and Norway each year. on the hurtli- east Newfoundland coast and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Norwegian sealers frequent the same waters as the Canadians butrstay outside the threwmile limit. .

The Terra Nova, Arctic Prowler and Arctic Sealer took a total of 20,000 seals in 1954. Last year they were joined by the converted ocean tug Algerine and took 48.000. al- though the Arctic Sealer was forced out of the hunt by damaged bows after killing 7.500 seals. '

The,Peary was knocked out of the hunt by rudder trouble early in the 1955 season. The Saiiite Ad- dresse out of Port Union.. Niid., was holed by ice and had to re- turn without a seal.

HISTORIC LOSSES

No sealing ships have been lost since 1953. when the James Spur- rell, the Truls and the Newfound- lander were swallowed by ice, with- out loss of life.

When the Southern Cross wciit down in 1914 she,carried I73 men with her. In the same year 78 men were lost on the Newfound- land.

One of the worst disasters of re- cent years was in 1931 when the sealer Viking blew up and car- ried 36 men to the bottom. Fifteen other men later died of injuries.

Among the survivors was the wireless operator. Clayton King, who was blown into the water and spent 72 hours on an icepan before help arrived. His legs were ampu-

tated at the knees. He now runs a

drygoods store here. EASIER LIFE NOW

"Sealers lead ii softer life now than in my day." he recalls. "A quarter century ago the sealing crew had very poor accommoda- tions. Berths were built in the middle deck of the hold and the pelts came right down past them. Men wore the same clothes, caked with blood, and fat. from the time killing began until they went home.

"Today the men get a chance to clean up and change, and the food they get now is the equal to what they used to get in the cabin."

Scaling has been decllnig for a century. mainly because dwindling prices for oil and pelts discourage owners from r e p I a c i n 3 ships crushed in the ice packs.

Sealing began in the 18th cen- lury. when Newfoundland fisher- men walked out on ice floes jammed against the shore and set nets to entangle mature seals div- ing for fish. A seal can dive 2,000 feet. The shore industry is still prosecuted. but last year acounted for only 8000 seals compared with 38.000 in 1934. Nels are no longer used.

HUGE (TATCIIES

In 1841 and 1644 catches exceeded 685.000 seals. In 1857 400 sealing ships carried 13.500 men north to the icefields and returned with a catch worth a record Sl.700.000.

In the l9ih century the tall- masti-tl ships left the harbor in stately procession with all flags flying to follow the "cow path" to seal ice. The hunters were splendid in beaver hats, and wharves crooked under .festive crowds waving them godspeed. Gaiety of the women was forced: the seal hunt had an ugly reputa- tion as witlowinzikcr.

Now the handful of motor ships slips almost unromarked past the sentinel hills of the harbor mouth Waiting relatives hear radio re- ports from their men. An airplane spots the seal herds.

But one old custom remains. Each crew member carries an empty barrel aboard ship to fill with seal flippers on the ice. When the ship returns. the flippers are sold as delicacies to augment mea- gre returns for the men. Sixty dollars is considered good for a six-week voyage. A share of S20 is not uncommon. Hunters and crew share the returns with master; and owners. The pelts sell at from S5 to 310 per huudredwcight.

KILLED ON ICE

Two main types of true seals or hair seals are sought. Harp seals with lyre-like back markings breed

Only Small Fleet Engaged In Perilous Hunt For Seals;

seals with skin folds around their heads breed east of Greenland. Both varieties mingle on the iloes.

When ships crunch into the floes men scramble on to the ice armed with clubs or '"gaffs." They strike the pups stunning blows and finish them with sharp knives. The pelt and underlying fat is "sculped" from the body. and the remains left on the scarlet ice.

Protests that the method is cruel has resulted in seal-killing studies at the St. Andrews. N.B.. biologi- cal station.

The season is short. Baby seals are born in late February or early March and by mid-April have lost the thick. soft fur that makes them valuable.

'SmallEr numbers of mature seals and bedlamers are shot. The latter are seals between one and four years old. too young to mate.
