Lobster fishermen on the north shore and those other sections of the Province where the legal sea- son opens today are worrying about the bait situation, it was learned yesterday.

Usually when thc herring do not strike along thc north shore in time for the fishermen of North Cape, Tignish, Albertcn. St. Peter's and Sourls to oatt their newly-set gear, the situa- tion lias been relieved by bring-

lug herring from Summcrsidc and other points on the south shore.

But tthis season herring are

scarce all along the Island‘: coast line. Last week some were netted off Summersitlc but the quantity was only sufficient for local cou- sumption. 'i‘i'gliisli and Albert/in reported last night that no her- ring worth while have yet been taken at these ports. Souris re- ported that t\vo_truck loads of herring which had been brotigiit over from New Brunswick-ulteri- the herring are reported plentiful —were on their way there for local fishermen

Some fishermen will use ivhat salt herring they have until the schools strike and all are looking forward eagerly to Saturday's full moon tides which, they hope, will bring herring in abundance.

Much more lobster gear is go- ing in the ivater this year. From North Cape to Souris and around the eastern end of the Island thc same story oi’ increased l. building activities is told. '1‘ .2 is not a little harbor along the shore where at least two or ihrcc boats were not built. Fourteen were built in Alberton last win- ter and practically every other lobster-fishing place built in pro- portion. That increased building is partly due to many war veterans going into the business and part- ly to the fact that many fisher- men. postponed building . durint: the war years because they could not got new engines to go with the boats.

No definite information con- cernlng this year's prices is yet available but it is irndersioorl that lobsters will not command the high prices which prevailed a year ago.

‘Tenure Motion Is Withdrawn

HALIFAX, April 30-A motion limiting a clergymairs tenure to seven years in any one parish was withdrawn today at. the An- glican Synod of Nova Scotlo. ivhlch also takes in Prince Edward Island, when its sponsor declared it. was not considered "right to take the selection of the clergy from the congregat- ‘ions!’

A. S. Patlllo of Bcdford, N. 5.. president of the Diocesan Lay- rnen‘s Council. was greeted with applause when he announced withdrawal of the motion intro- duced at last year's synod.

He said the Council had agreed to abandon the idea which would have the, effect of giving thc Bishop gpre power over appoint- ments and transfer of clergy. He ispoke of tho congregations‘ priv- ilege to select their own priests as the "power which has built up our Church."

The motion was originally in- trocluced because its sponsors felt ‘clergyman became lethargic when their tenure in a single parish was too long.

Mr: Patillo, however. criticised archdeacons and rural deans for infrenuent visits to parishes,

"We want the venerable gentle- men to get busy." he said "Some~ pnri=hcs hove-rut seen a rural dean in 12 XQBYS, and don't know what an archdeacon looks like."

"I dont think I need defend the archdeacous and rural deans." said Bishop O. F. Kinvston. “We hold a conference of archdeacons fond rural deans once a year and ‘we no over the whole diocese.
