to agree with Mr. Griffin's boast.

ONTARIO DEMAND

Toronto importers were optimis- tic about an increased sale of fish in their city and other Ontario centres. Ontario's population, ra- pidly increasing, comprises a large number of central and nort- hern Europeans and these people are big consumers of fish. This demand must be met. say the Tor- onto buyers and the consumption of fish in Toronto alone will double in the next few years.

Fish from the Souris plant, said Mr. Griffin, reached Toronto in fresher condition than from any- where else in the Maritlmes. This is possible h cause the draggers operating from Souris catch their fish thirty-five to seventy miles. from their base. and are a shorter time at sea than boats sailing from other ports, the interval there- fore between the time the fish are caught and landed is short, and a great advantage in any drivg for Central Canada markets.

LOBSTER. CATOHES

Both Eastern Packers and Grif- fin Fisheries report that tho lob- ster fishermen have had sat- isfactory year with good catches. and very good prices. Lobster eat- ches are falling off somewhat. now but this is normal for mid-

June.

N.Il. nnaaenns

The dozen draggera working out of Souris are occasionally Joined by a New 3. wick dragger. which finds it more practical to unload at Souris than it's home port. Most of the New Brunswick draggers are nuanced by the New Bruns- wickgovernment and unless it is impractical to do so, must land their fish at New Brunswick fish- ing ports. The Souris draggers are landing haddock. cod. grey, sole and flounders, and prices are fair. One boat commanded by Raymond Griffin has caught over seventy thousand pounds of fish. on each of three SI.lCC85Slve: trips. Usually the draggers are at sea four days to six days, before returning to P011. and thus Mr. Griffin landed about two hundred and fifteen thou- sand pounds of ground fish. in three short voyages.

Each of the big Souris companies operates a fish meal plant and these have been turning out thou- sands of pounds of this valuable fish by-product. It is being sold as fast as it is processed. and a ready market is found for it in the Maritimes and in Central Canada. 01'' GENERAL BENEFIT

The thriving fishing industry means much to the merchants of Souris to the grocers, the general stores. the gas stations, to black- smiths, to the banks and to the business life of the community in general.
