Sees Opportunities OI Further Development In

Fish Processing At Souris

'1'” "fed .'.”'s:ni?”:E. '33:

I 'a b ;lf.f2.T K... ryeplied to the Opposition 1.cutler's contention that such an ,.i.t:r.i.iia1 plant was not required in the Eastern town. Mr. Acorn. gpeaklllg on the Budget debate. gave many reasons to show that increased production had warrant-

such a m0VG- mile said that the fishmeal him now in operation was not able to handle all the offals of the fish being processed and a great deal .l the raw material ha to be aken to Nova Scotla centres for

..-i-cesslng. "With the addition of , second plant not only will the lislierman have an outlet for his wit, hake and haddock. but he will be able to realize something in the other fish he may catch 5...... as dogflsh and other products Ill the sea."

In support of his argument that the iishmeal plant should be locat- ed at Souris. Mr. Acorn said that Ccntral Creameries was located in Charlottetown. but milk was ship- ped to them from all Island points. "Anyone who says that a flshmeal plant should be established in any other place than Souris. doesnt know what they are talking about." he said.

Referring to a map. the First Kings member said that Souris had a harbour with hold water and that it possessed 8 million and I hall dollar wharf. it was the best site in all the Eastern area. The North shore inlets he said were not suitable because of frequent rough

weather and the type of harbours it

most of which were partially ob- structed by sand bars. This. he said was a most important point since a flshmeal plant depends upon daily deliveries.

Mr. Acorn went on to tell oi a captain from Halifax who was via- iting the Island a few days ago with the proposal to extract oil from herring.. This. thought Mr. Acorn would be a wonderful help to fisherman all over the Island since they would have a market

for all their herring at Souris. He

complimented the men who had

foresight enough to establish this

new plant. He said that the ma- chinery required to fill the 205 foot building was at the Magdalen islands and it presented a. prob- Iem to transport it to Souris. but it was finally floated from the Magdalena on 80 gallon drums.

Second Fillettng Plant

In a like manne . Mr. Acorn supported the need for I second filletlng plant. He pointed out that the locks at the Cause Causeway would not be available to shipping until next November and Souris would be expected to handle much of the Nova Scotla catch. He ax- presscd the hope. that once start- ed. a great deal of this trade would continue. He said that the nest of 10-12 draggers would be suf- ficient to keep two plants I013! iinoughout the year.

Speaking of frozen fish sticks.

Mr. Acorn recalled that last year

he hail advocated the production

of this fish product. but noted that

the fisherman of Gloucester. Maaa. had made a concentrated in this direction and were pretty well looking after the American market. He felt that there would he a future in this phase of the industry as the Canadian market became bigger. Ha noted that one or two New Brunswick plants were taking care of the needs an this latter market.

Mr. Acorn said Ilat In new fil- leiing plant. able to accommodate 5.000 lbs of fish at one holding. rep- resented an investment of between

Pl!!! going into this business deserves all the credit possible. "They have requested a loan and whather they get it or not. they are going ahead will pmllldi be good ting for

" t wo I the Government to invest m such a plant to see that a Ameri- can firm does not a . be- cause it would let be long they would be doing large enough volume of business to put the saint- lng plant in which tha Government has a large investment. out of business" said Mr. Acorn.

The Souris Member had hill! praise for the work of Mr. Eugene German. director of fisheries and Mr. Francis Campbell who were instrumental in starting the drag- ger fishin industry in the Prov- ince. To a ow what it has meant to the Province as a whole. Mr. Acorn said that the underwater equipment for a dragger, includ- ing propellors..gackin'ghbous and bearings cost .000. Firm of Hall and Stavert in Charlottetown have been doing this work and this Year points to the fitting of I) hrggers at a chest of 880.000.

"The Leader or the Opposition Mys he racked his brain. but he could not come up with an answer in solving the unemployment m lcm for the fisherman of Rustico" continued Mr. Acorn. "1 have here a copy of the Tandy

effort

Fisherman" and I believe the an- swer is contained in it."

Mr. Acorn went on to relate that a Czechoslovakian immigrant chemist had come to Kentvilla, N. s.. and had star-tad processing apples. However this man was not contanttobsworkingforonba few months of the year, so he directed his attention to the chem- ical processing of seaweed-Irish dulce. etc. For 82.000 he was able to change his plant over from apples to seaweed. "Much can be done in this line" said Mr. Acorn "and I commend this idea to the Minister of Industry and Natural Resources."

The Policy! of the Department of Education segregating grades nine and tea from the public school was strongly endorsed by the Mom- ber from Souris. Referring to the criticism of John A. MacDonald who made note of the fact that Mr. Acorn had received a 830.000 cha-

Kinga Member explained that as a member of a seven man building committee. it was his duty to look after expenditures and to present the bill to the Department of Edu- cation. "Thia I did and was very happy to be able to bring home the bacon." he added. Roads

Mr. Acorn made a strong plea for a paved highway from East Point to Wood Islands. He said that when completed this high- way would give the people of this area an outlet to me Wood Islands Ferry and the Nova Scotia mar-

ct. .

The Minister of Highways was also told that Breakwater Street in Souris was one of the busiest thoroughfares in the Province, out- side of some of the streets of Sum- merside and Charlottetown. He pointed out that this six tenths of a mile of road carried all the po- tatoes. fish and everything ship- ped by water from the port. "The Federal Government has seen fit to build a million and a half dol- lar wharf and a front proof ware- house so I believe it would be a fine gesture for the Provincial Gov- ernmcnt to build a road of heavy pavemen to support this heavy traffic and I know it will serve the Eastern end of the Island for vears to come."
