Believes Draggers Could Be Utilized Successfully

Operation of dvraggers on a mod- I

crate scale. and establishment of filletlng and fish meal plants as

indicated in the speech from the- Throne. should prove of great‘

benefit in developing the fishery resources of this Province, de- clared Mr. J. Hector Richard. Anseanblyanan for the Fl:-rt District of Prince. in speak- ing on the Draft Address in the Legislature yesterday.

in speaking on dragger opera- .

lions last year, Mr. Richard said he had emphasized the destruc- tion caused to the gear of the offshore fishermen. Lut nunmer there were still quite a few fish- ermen who lost nets and gear from this cause.

"Slice or The PM‘

“But those are not Prince Ed- ward Island fishermen that are doing this dtruction." he said. "As long as there are nineteen draggers operating out of New Brunswick and nearly as many from Nova Scotia, we will no dragging off our coast. Why can't wegetasliceoftheplelelou as we let them take our fish away from us?"

"If we have too many draggers working off our shores it may in- terfere with our catches," he add. ed . “But three or four draggers wouldn't amount to very much. I can see that the buyers are not going to cater to us unless we

adopt modern methods. We] want draggers or big boats of some kind. and the idea is to

hold the markets.

‘These fish filleting plan-ts are going to be a great help if we can get enough of them over the Province. Most of the fillets we buy here in restaurants come from Nova Scotia. If we could get enough for our own use it- self it would be of great benefit. _We should get after the Domin- ion Government to give us as- sistance, and get these plants as quickly as we can." I

Mr. Richard suggested placing one of the plants at Alberton.

He agreed with the Minister, Hon. Mr. Cullen. that the coming transportation method will be by truck over the highways to al- most anywhere in the United States. This is a much quicker way to transport fish than by rail.

Best Fishing Grounds

Mr. Richard cited fish produc- tion figures by Counties, claim- ing that the best fishing grounds are between Alberton and Tig-

About thirty miles from North Point would be an excellent place for dragger operations.

There is room for 100 or more vessels in Alberton harbour. Tig- nish harbour, where a dredge is ample

now working, will have

water for a dragger after next summer. Two harbours where boats could dispose. of their catches are within eight miles of each other.

Mr. Richard also approved of the proposal to establish fish meal plants. Thousands of tons of material goes to waste every

season that could be used to process fish meal. benefitinz both the farmers and fishermen. he pointed out.

Highway Improvement

There was still a great deal of improvement in his district. Mr. Richard said. About ten miles are still unpaved on the north end. five miles of

,which are in e deplorable condi-

' tion. This section is from Tig- nish to Alma. “We wan-t ’the main western highway right

through to Tignish," he said.

Noting that his district appear- ed to be getting the most in pub- lic welfare services. Mr. Richard said the explanation was that cer- lain areas had no harbour or farming facilities, and prior to the introduction of family allow- ances a lot of misery and hard- ship existed. In those areas a lot of mental. T. B. and crippled cases were found. the direct result of malnutrition.

Price Question Discussed

Considerable discussion evolved around the potato price question. The question of cut-throat prac- MSG! union! the dealers themselves was entered into and a resolution passed for their unification.

Col. Full stated that the potato price here this year was determin- ed by the shipment of Penn- sylvania potatoes to the Southern U. S. A, by truck. These potatoes were being delivered cheaper than the Island potatoes and thus the price here remained low, "The un- expected competition from various corners are determining our prices." he stated. . .

Mr. Holman urged the group to have more pride in the potatoes they handled. Island potatoes, he said, as a whole were poorly grad- ed.

Mr, Frank Clarke admon" ‘ the group to do something for themselves to prevent over produc- tlon. He recommended the use of less fertilizer on seed plots and the killing down percentage of seed for seed purposes.

Premier Jones: “Would lihe new Board loan any to the fish- erman if he already owes money?"

Hon. Mr. Cullen: “I am afraid not. The new Board is strict in that regard."

Cold Storage Plant

From April 1 last unilil the end of February this year, they handled 3.033.000 pounds in the plant, including 1,123,791 lbs. of fish. The overall operating profit for this period was $8,042.70. in- cludlog $3,050.71 on bait.

While the most of the bait was sold outside the Province it was bought. stored and frozen here to provide a service to the Island fishermen. The ilect that it was an unusually good year for bait meant that the Island fishermen did not need so much but the service was there for those who required it. some 109,863 lbs. was sold to Island fishermen and the remaining 350,700 ions was sold to mainland buyers at I profit.

The produce handled included 135.201 lbs. mackerel. 281.937 lbs. smells. 686,606 lbs. poultry, 548.- 081 of cheese. 201,891 of straw- berries and blueberries and 830.- 912 of fruit and vegetables.

Prince County Unit

"We are getting on our quick freezing and cold storage plan: Federal assistance to the amount of $25,000". he said. “An addi- tional sum of $5.000 builds A bait holding unit in Prince County. This will be built im- medlately. so that it will be avail- able for use this summer."

The Minister had invited the delegates attending the recent East Coast fisheries conference to meet in Charlottetown this year. and ,they had accepted. Every- thing will be done to make this event a success, he said.

dents of the Montague district to secure illegal loans from the Fish- erman’: Loan Board. The strong- elt case was preued and he was found noi.,guiliy.

Mr. Large said he was “rather surprised" when the hon. mem- ber from Charlottetown (M-r. Mathieson) had made A motion seeking information in the House, when he had defended Wester- worth at Georgetown and was "most familiar with the deiaalh of the case."

Teacher Training

Dealing with education, Mr. Large stated that the supply of teachers is improving and that

endeavors are being made to in- crease the number taking teach- er training at Prince of Wales College. The Government, he explained. is prepared to make trusts of $100 each to students ‘taking this course. provided they undertake to teach fpr two years after receiving the grant.

Loans up to $200 will also be made to students taking teacher training who are financially em- barrassed, the money to be re- paid over a two-year period, he stated. The number of students taking the teachers course has increased from 54 in 1948-49 to 79 this year.

$50 in assistance has been pro- vided for students taking sum- mer courses. In 1948-49 thirty teachers left the Province to train. The average salary for a first class teacher in the Province runs from $1,350 to $1,488 with a second- class teacher receiving from $1.- 010 10 31-047. and third class from $801 to $844.

The increases. Mr. Large stat- ed. were due to increased supple- merits in the districts. He com- mended the districts for this action and pointed out that one possible reason for their move- men-t was the fact that they had only to pay one tax on real es- tate in the Province.

He noted that school attend- ance has continued to improve. due to the work of the school at- tendance officer and the Family Allowance Act which requires that the child 'must attend 75 per cent of the school days, be- fore the money can be received.

School attendance in the three Counties was high, with Prince having 80.58 per cent. Queen's 84.63 and King's 81.98. He thought that next year the mini- mum attendance could be raised to 80 per cent.

P. W. C. Dormitory

He expressed hope that the plan for a dormitory for students attending Prince of Wales Col- lege would be developed within the next year or so. The Voca- tional School students. he said. could work on the building and gain experience. and thus a dual purpose would be fulfilled.

He anticipated that Government assistance for school improvement policy will continue for another year or two. He noted that 202 schools had been improved up to the end of 1949 and that 21 new schools had been built during the past two years.

For s new school building the Government will grant up to I maximum of $1,250 and up to 0600 for improvements on any school providing the districts meet. the qualifications. Under this program Mr. Large stated that 80 per cent of the schools had received some benefit.

l-1e I180 hoped for more money to carry out the text books sub- vention policy this year as the prices are increasing. Last year 810,000 was expended in the carry- ing out of this policy. He cited the case of several text books which are selling well below the publish- ing price in the stores here because of assistance.

He referred to the new school at the surnmerside Airport which is being operated by the Federal Department. "The Provincial Gov- ernment pays towards this school", he explained. "what a local district pays for the teachers supplement."

The enrollment at Prince of Wales College totalled 888 for the year. 12 lower than the 1046-19 terms. of this number it era in fourth year, 73 in third, :42 in

hope that teachers from Prince of Wales College might be assisted by loans to go to some school and advance their standing.

Vocational school

He lauded the work at the Voca- tional school and pointed out that 3.50 young men and women had en- rolled for courses during the year Two six-week courses in sewing were given with so students at- tending both. Two cour s of sim-‘ liar length were also give in home making as well as courses in car« pentry, electricity plumbing, .:hv rnetic and egg gradinlr.

The agricultural courses. its stat- ed, were not as well attended as he would have liked them to be However there were 30 at the live- stock course and over 10 studying farm mechanics, which was all
