Fisherfolk On Island of St. Pierre Have Forgotten Art of Fhdfing. .L

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Win) ST. PIERRE. Mill. Jan. i-The fishermen of St. Pierre have for- gotten how to fish. That's the strange. heritage that prohibition has left the people of this tiny island, centre of the At- lantic's Emit rum-running trade in the dByS when dry America was calling ion-and getting-illegal liquor to quench its post-war

The story 0f how a people abandoned one of man's oldest callings is a. short one: it's the story of easy money. St. Plerreh fisher-folk found it in prohibition

For nearly three cantor“; they had been content to fol" r the industry of the ancestors v. ‘o fnl- lowed Jacques Cartier across an ocean. There was little to do here but fish; and that they did, con- tent to live simply. _

Then the dry era began. Thirsty Canadians and United States cid- zens must have their liquor, legaJ or otherwise. St. Pierre, where the law didn't care much whence it came or where it went so long as the duties were paid, became a transfer station almost overnight for a. huge liquor traffic.

‘And almost overnight life changed for the fisher-folk of St. Pierre. It was easier, and it paid more, to handle lioucrr on shore than to toll at the fishery. Fisher- men gave up their back-breaking work on smelly smacks to live well on land at this new calling.

This went on for more than a decade, the colony and its people waxing prosperous, built new roads and other improvements, and ex- pensive new harbor equipment for the sleek rum-running ships to comc and go more easily.

Then came repeal ‘in the United States. In St. Pierre the folk for the first time in l4 years had to go back to the fishery.

But they didn't want lo fish They had lost their taste for it during years of wpulenoe; ‘the old- er mes, that is. As for the post- vnr generation, it had never bdthered to learn the art.

Government offers of free genr and a ocmtv failed to lure many back to an Those who did go out last your came back with poor catches. Somehow, they couldn't bring the cod in as they used to and earnings were not enough to support families. I

_'I‘hia winter, the government is handing out relief for the first time in memory. In the spring. that will end, and the men will go out to the banks once more. Per- haps the fishery will be good’; and acorn, perhaps. their halyeon days oval". they will resume the normal environment of pre prohibition days.

JEALOUS ANTONIO -—-~ (B! John W. Garvin)

Antonilnavllilntaon Ofltalyandaacientlioml. Had crossed the ocean with his

Canada was his journey’: md- l Aamallirultstorolzadbotoatart. Andnaamvodtihmcudomara

The bride was younl. and lovely loo, With voice of music, lustrous eyes, And grace in every move she maids- No man her beauty could dcvpiao.

They thrived apeoc and money

caved,

And soon had larger store to suit,

With vegetables and groceries i And many kinds of luscious fruit.

The cart was lold. Antonio

Served customers within the store And soon he noticed many men Were entering the open door.

To buy from Lisa, not from him.

Ha also noticod ahc had had smiles

And bright remarks for each of them

While paroellirlg, arranging piles.

That night he harshly spoke to her:

“How dare you flirt with other meni

You try to make me jealous, oh?

I sharpen up my knife and then-

You better mind, Antonio;

I will not share you-nevermore- Henceforth you serve in house alone, I hire helper for the store."

with angry glare and acomfui lip, She told him he was but a brute To make her life a. drudgery - Instead of mellowing with the fruit.

‘lb Mussolini she would write,

0r to the Black Hand seam loll; And he would find a. loving wife Was better than a living hell.

He felt alarm, but braced it out- His knife took on a keencr edge- Till one day came a Black l-land

note ‘That split his courage like a wedge.

Until he read it over twice.

It ordered him, a. thousand pay Within a. week, or they would kill Hia wife adored, without delay.

Ho wrote them back and frankly said

He could not meet decree;

But he was pleased to lot them know

He liked their threatened penalty. (Copyright, Central Press Canadian)

JIFFY-SIX PER CENT OP‘ ITALIAN PEOPLE DERJVE LIVING FROM THE SOII.

Italy Ls essentially an agricultur- al country, forty-six per cent of the workmen deriving a. " living fromtheeoiluidhenoethedealre of the Government to increase the production 0f wheat, according to the Agricultural Department of the Canadian National Railways. The Italian climate ls not well adaptod tq wheat growing and, h addition. the soil has deteriorated in qual- ity. Tho. Government authorities are working towards developing an early ripening variety of wheat and selecting a, suitable crop for plaint- ing during the lame year an the some larld after the wheat crop has been known as "Blast" wheat, particularly that grown in the south, the kernels becoming shrlvelled and stunted. The disease is caused by the aun'a heat early in the season and hence the desire of the Government to produce a wheat that will be sufficiently mature to withstand the suddenly moi-eased heat of the sun in May. Durum wheats are produced almost exclu- sively in the southern part of Italy and on the islands of Sardinia and Sicily, the most p. ‘uctive areas being in Sicily. Bread wheat; are produced in all of the Italian pro- vinces but the area of greatest productivity is the Po River valley in Northern Italy. Canadian wheat, particularly the Manitoba variety, la preferred by Italian millers for blending purposes and on account of the greater gluten content they are willing to pay a higher price for it.
