He suggested the setting up of an Island Fisheries Department so that “every Island family could get at least one meal of lslsnd fish once a week the Year round."

Canada's Naval History Theme 0f Fine Address

Llst night's meeting of Bt. Paula Laymerfs Association, held in the Parish Hall, was one of the most largely attended and enthusiastic so far on record.

As Armistice Day is only l few days away it was decided to hold an Armistice meeting. and the evening progralmme was of a char- acter befitting the day.

The 17th Reece Band. under the direction of Bandimaster Bot! ‘Mug- ford, who is also organist of the church, rendered the marches of the three services: "On the Quart- er Deck" (Navy). “The Great Little Army" (Army), the R.A.F. March Past, and the "General Service March iPunjab)". In addition, they Accompanied the members of the Association in a hearty rendition of many of the songs sung by the boys in the armed forces in the two world wars.

Dr. T. Earle Rioblns gave a cep- able and amusing rendition of two songs current irl England at ihe time of the First World WK. "Burlington Bertie‘ and "I Like a Min to be l Man." ‘These were ec- companied on the piano by Mr. Mugford. '

The thanks of (he Association to the ladies guild of the church for the splendid supper provided uias felicitotisly expressed by the presi- dent Mr. T. S. DeBlois, and replied to in a fe-w welichosen words by Mrs. C. H. Coles.

Commodore Hlbbard

Mr. DeBlois then introduced the speaker of the evening, Commodore G. M. Hibbard, 0.13.13. Commodore Hlbbard. who joined the Royal Canadian Navy in I913, traced its growth and development from its formation in 1910. At that time a Naval College was founded in Hali- fax and the Cruiser ‘Niche’ acquir- ed. When war broke out. in 1914. the Naval College was open, but the ‘Niobe’ was laid up. Adimlral Crad- dock of the Royal Navy, however. visited Halifax. and took with him some young officers. graduates of the Naval College. These fine young men were lost in the battle of Cor- one].

Shortly after, the Province of British Columbia bought l couple of submarines from the United States but still there was. properly speak- ing. no Canadian Navy; so the graduates of the Halifax College (res-referred over to the Royal Navy. 'I‘ho speaker mentioned one of these in particular, Maitlsnd MacDougall, 20 years of age, who was given command of a submar- ine which was scuppered off the coast of France by it French nir- craft which mistook it for an enemy vessel. Commodore llibbard went on very modestly to refer to his service as navigating officer to Admiral Boatty during the manoeuvres of his squadron.

Subsequent History

In 193i, there was a re-organlzat- ion of the Canadian Navy. Canada bought from Elngiland at this tlmB the Cruiser ‘Aurora’. two destroyers and two submarines. In 1923, how- cver, the ‘Aurora and tho two subs were psidf off, and the Naval Col- lcge was closed. This was the sitit- ation until 193i when two new de- stroyers came from England.

At the time of the Munich crisis. things picked up again, and Can- ada's Navy had six destroyers and 1,500 men when World War Two broke out. At the end of the war the Navy had a strength of 00.000 men. After the end of hostilities, (he Navy was again cut down. ind Commodore llibbard felt it was time to retire in favour of senior officers who had served at sea in this latest wan-the more so. ll ho had 31 years of servin-

In closing he expressed his con- viction that (he little band of of- ficers who had gone throuEll Nut/s .1 school together in the early years (1910 to i914) had accomp- lished whatever had been done to bring the Navy through the we! as the efficient fighting force it became.

The thanks of the meeting were aaipabiy expressed and tendered to the spank" by Mr. Philip Palmer.

KIWVANIS CLUB MEETS Mr. Joseph R. MscMillln gave an interesting address on the Child- ren's Protection Act at the wees- ly meeting of the Kiwanis Club held last night at The Charlotte- town. Mr. Jack Trainer presided. Mr. MscMillan gave a very infor- mative taik‘ on the present act and suggested some changes that may take place in the act. He em- phasized the necessity for lndly- idual study of the act, and stress- ed the civic need and community spirit involved. He outlined tho means by which the club members could help especially in securing homes for unadopted children. Mr. Charles Praught gave s, rc- port of a visit over the week-end to both Orphansges where films were showed to the children. A sing-song was conducted after the films, Plans were laid for the an- nual charter night which was set for Nov. 22. Mr. Earl Manhood re- ported on the magazine project and urged the securing of sub- scriptions of any standard magaz- ines or periodicals through lite Kltvanis Club in order to boost the club project work.

was, perhaps, necessary.

It was generally agreed that there were many gaps in the fish- ermen’: knowledge of fish popul- ations in in-shore and off-shore waters. Mr. McKichln drew a;- tention of the present research facilities and stated the informa- tion was not getting out to the fishermen satisfactorily. Many problems demanded more research and it. was up to the fishermen themselves to demand it. The chairman asked if a. Royal Com- mission would help. Members of the panel believed it to be neces- sary and the chairman felt it would be "invaluable."

Drying Methods Aired

The question of artificial dry- ing received an airing. Mr. Mc- Kichan said this was not the whole solution but that it may he necessary today. He warned against setting up too mlny. Mr. Myrick pointed out the difficulty of drying without electric powcr and suggested a central dryer in Charlottetown. owned by l comp- any made up of fishing cdmpan- ies, to help out smaller dryers. Gene Gormsri believed l lante- dryer plant necessary for storage purpose. '

The necessity of high quality in canned fish was stressed by Mr- Myrick. Mr. Gormln suggested consolidation to cut overhead oosts and extension of season to include canned vegetables and fruits. Mr. McKichan pointed out that it is cxxtremely difficult to get the best help for two months of the year and advocated l programme to keep the factories going steady.

1t was generally agreed that small bait holding plants were ne- cessary over the Island in con- junction with the central cold storage plant. Mr. MaeAidI-m de- clared that fresh bait was super- ior to frozen bait. Mr. said there were small plants now available.

Mr, Myrick thought that Island production was so emsii that it would not pay l0 B99 UP bf-PPOJ- ucts plants for fish oils. malls and fertilizer. "But I believe we have been lax in taking advantage o.’ research results,“ he added. He told the story of higher quality Irish moss regaining its market.

Mr. Gorman said he did not think that there were "too many Ira-between profits. Our problem is that we are not handling volume." He thought a public educational programme was putting the cart before the horse and that "quality should be built up fl"!-

“Every fisherman in Rustlco Is a warden. If that were l0 else- where. the Department of Fisher- ies would have no enforcetrteiit problem of their regulations," said Mr. Myrlck. advocating an educa- tion“ programme for fishermen on this subject.

Mr. Gorman asked was it fair to penalize the fisherman for ill- egal lobster fishing when he could “w”; "n them? "Would It not be better to go after those who buy them’! The fishermen wouldn't fish them if they couldn't nsll them," he added. Inspectors are 0mm»; of the crown, there must be some interference somewhere if they cannot enforce the llw. he concluded.

Mr. Burden Heads P.E.l. Federation

Mr. James E. Burden. Charlotte- town, was elected president of the Prince Edward Island Fisheries Federation at its adjourned annual meeting yesterday afternoon with a large attendance of members. Mr, Burden was inst year's vice- presidcnt, Mr. Paul Gallant, Sour- is was named vice-president,

A feature of the business meet- ing was the exceptionally keen in- terest shown by the members in electing this year's directors. On a number of occasions Mr. John B. Myrick, elected for Prince on the first ballot, and Mr. S. H. Burhoe, past president, appealed to thb meeting to increase co-operative representation in order to "strengthen the Federation."

Commons‘ regular business to dis- cuss the situation arising from the Government‘; decision to auth- orize rent increases.

Said Mr. Coidweil:

"This House must say explicitly to the Government that the recent announcement by the Minister of Finance must be reconsidered, and that rental controls must remain until the Provinces are prepared to step into the field and under- take the protection of the Cana- dian people, if it should prove to be their obligation to do so.

“Indeed until the menace of high rentals has been removed the Government at least should pro- vide. in the reconsideration of this policy, for appeals to rental con- trol boards across the country bo- fore rent increases are put into effect. . ."

Bad Timing

Donald Fleming (PC-Toronto Eglintonl said the flat increases did not take into account the great variety of conditions in Can- ada; the timing had been "incred- ibly bad" in view of the approach of winter; the order did not take account of any obligation on the part of landlords to repair prem- ises; the order did not rrintc at sII to increased costs faced by landlords.

The Social Credit view was out- lined by C. E. Johnston (SC-Boy! River) who sold this Is not flit‘ time for rent controls to be lifted to the extent announced lust week.

Some landlords might foreflo II" boosts, but it. would not be tho ones whose premises now rented for $40 and $45 a month to ii class of people which could least afford the increases.

Mr. Abbott's View

Mr. Abbott told the Commons the Government did not Considm‘ It wile to get out of the rent-con- trol field abruptly. Govcrnmcnt authority over rents would cxpirc next March Ill but the Govern- ment has indicated it intends to continue.- controls beyond that date if the Supreme Court rules the Government has l legal rigitt to control rents.

Mr. Abbott said rents are prim- arily n Provincial field. "I repent my statement that. if any Province cares to enter the field and take

the chair from the floor on the bait problem - one man stating he had put in a plant at consid- erable expense and did not SEII enough bait out of it to pay one month's power costs. Mr. Myrick llId it wll just a new idea. and would take time for the fishermen to get used to. He still believe-t these smell plants were necessary. Mr. Burke McInerney. with the ent of Fisheries and Mr.

Deplrtm W1‘. Stanley also spoke.

Suggests How Island Fisheries Should Develop

"You in Prince Edward Island fisheries have a challenge before you which you have met. in tho past and which we, in Ottawa, will be only too happy to help ycu to meet now," stated Mr. Alex Skeltcn, assistant Deputy Minister of ‘Trade and Commerce at tiic. Charlottetown Board of 'I‘mde din- ner meeting at The Charlottetown last evening. president Frank Cui- tis presiding.

The guest speaker was introduc- od by Premier J. Walter Joncs. Mr. Burke Mclnerney expressed the regret of the Minister 0t‘ Fisheries and his Deputy at not being able to be present. Among other guests, which included the members of the RE. Island Fish- eries Federation, were Hon. Eug- ene Cullen, Minister of Industry and Natural Resources, Prof. Frank MaoKinnon, Messrs. S11. Burhce, past president and James E Bur- den, newly elected president o! the Federation, Clive Plants, man- lger of the Fisheries Council of Canada, and Howlrd McKichln. United Maritime Fishermen.

Stating that. he was here to learn, Mr. Skelton ventured to suggest that the Island fish in-

dustry should be developed along dual lines. The traditional farmer- fisherman must be assisted and strengthened and an off-shore fishing fleet should be developed. He believed that this programme would require more co-operatlon within the industry and more ro- search over the whole field of fishing problems.

Mr. skelton spoke of the work and organization of his Economic Research and Development Branch of the Department of Trade and Commerce in Ottawa and stated it. acted as a two-way street for in- formation to and from industry. He invited enquiries from all in- dustrles.

The speaker felt that Island fisheries mlghb well emulate the Island farmers in producing a quality product which demanded premium prices throughout North America, He stated that the picture of Canada's business "at the mom- ent was a booming economy with a few dark clouds beginning to show up."

over the responsibility, the Domin- ion would suspend its rental reg- ulations in that Province."
