He termed the seven-cent. re- con-lmendation, compared with a fill-cent demon by the Unions and a minority report recommendation oi 20 cents, "grossly discriminatory and entirely inadequate."

In the telegram to the Labor Department the Union heads said the rail employees view the re- commendations as “most outrage- ously disregardim the facts and dvldence presented to the board on behalf of the employees."

The workers are expected lo make "a disproportionate contri- bution to the maintenance oi these public utilities and the total coon- omy of the country," and “are ex- pected to accept as permanent the deterioration of their living stand- ards"

It said a recent ouncement by the Labor Minister places wag- es generally in industry at 7t per cent above the 1989 level. But the condiliation board's report showed railway wage increases over the same period were only Mn‘per cent.

On Saturday, April 94, the boys of the good old "Seventh" went on another hike. and this tlmethe object was to collect wood for fire- making sets. (In this connection live boys of the "Seventh" are giv- ing a demonstration, of fire by friction at a variety concert on May 18th, and all the sets used at this will be hand made.) The route taken for the hike was along

_ the shore of the Hillsbolough Riv-

er. On arriving at a suitable spot. fires were lit and cooking tests passed by three of the Scouts. Be- fore leaving for home the S. M. gave s. useless demonstration of making a whistle out of e sapling. "Personally," I think he was a. sap to try it! The Scouts all arrived home full of pep and raring to go on the next hike, May 8th. One humorous anecdote w. d with the above n-tioned firelightirlg alight be related. The S. M. in- structed two of the P. L.‘s to get some cedar for spindles at'e cer- tain spot, asking them to bring only a. small piece; but on arrival at the troop hall that night to the S.M.'s horror he found a huge section of a cedar telephone pole which took a wrecking crane to lift and s dozen wedges to split. So if any troop on P. E. f. needs cedar for flrellghting. call the S.M. of the "Seventh". he can supply all sizes and amounts. The ques- tlo rlis: How did the P. L.'s get it to the troop hail in the first place’;

Now. as promised last week, 1 will attempt to give some news on the 7th-3ni troop camp. The sub- ject is to be "Dawn" hikes. How many readers of this column (Scouts only) have seen the dawn come up? Not very many, I sup- posel Poets, authors, have extolled the beauty of the rising sun, but itaornalns with the person com- ocrned to see the eflort that nat- ure puts forth to realize what they prate about. Of course you boys are always sound asleep when his fakes place, and to sec that you appreciate this beauty. at thetroop camp of the ‘lth-trd this summer. the boys will be awakened some morning very early and hike out lo the nearest hill or vantage point and watch the dawn come- up. Af- terwards will come a swim and breakfast, cooked away from camp. to satiny your appetites whattcd by the early rising, hike and swil- Now we don't want to turn you all

so planned that during the day

extra rest periods are tossed in to conmerlaaia for your early rising. Next week the. subject to be writ- ten up_will be "Bush days." Be- fore closing I woud like to mention two things that should be of int- erest to the Scouts of the 7th and all readers of this column. And these are: The zeappearano of ABM.

OHWWA, May 4 _ (glacial) _. Purchase by the Dmninlm Govern- ment of 190.000 cases of specified varieties of canned fish will afford fish canned-lea in the Mgri-tfmsg an excellent book-log this year in ms marketing of their total 1948 catch Fisheries Bllwort Board officials told The Guardian today. ~ Price support for such varietie

of canned fish as chicken handle, finnon haddic. flake fish. herring, mackerel amd mackerel fillets was not necessary last year sirloe virtually the entire ploduotl was absorbed either in the dosnlestig market or in relief purchases made by the Government to feed starv- ing peoples of Europe, '

With the return to an approxi- mation of normal in ‘he flailing W111i"? 0n European coasts, Oan- ada has no longer such orders as she hard during the war years, on under UNRRA and post-UNRRA requirements. Production of the above-dimmed varieties of calmed fish in 1946 and 1947 were vastly above that ill the 193a days. in an effort to_reduce production to the ordinary curluncrciai demands, the Government this year is Q giving such support to cannsrles in Prince Edward Island and other Maritime Provinces u to keep the carmerics as going concerns.

Drop of 26 (per cent

"Last year. the Dominion Govern- ment purchased some "$90,000 cases of calmed fish in- the iiklst Coast a top fish prices support board official said today. "This year the order from the east coast is for 190.000 cases which is a drop of approximately 20 per cent firm 1947. “Bu/t in no way are we restricting the 1948 production of canned fish. As things work out, we will buy about 37 per cent of the 1947 output of the canmeries. Moreover. the fish which we buy will not be "dumped" on the mastic Canadian market, nor will t be sold by the board to United States markets. Hence the ca/loh. over and above the 37 per cent for which we contract. can be sold in the beet market which the cannerics can find. We hope it will find iis way into a sound com- mercial market which will keel! l-li existing carmeries - ess." Price which will be paid by the Govwr-ment for the 1948 ca-ilch of fish mow known as “relief fish" will be the seine as that pus for the catch of 1947. Sullvpbrl. Board authorities confirmed.

The FishPrices Support Board. its heads say. are fu-lly conversant with the difficulty oi’ Maritime fishermen and comers to market their products overseas. There a2“. rigid imlport restrictions in many countries and exchange problems to be met almost all over the globe- The Board takes ilhe stand how- ever, that iln the main Canada's ilshl industry must sooner or later on its own feet. Hence in the present situation. i-t proposes not to subsidize canned fish but co bridge the gap between the large production of "relief fish" during the war years and iihs mvaller requirements of today and to- monow.
