The youngsters have already played several games iticluding Murray Harbour and Georgetown, and the interest taken by the adults is most gratifying. Rev. R. Vessey of Murray Harbour has been most active during the past years in promoting sports for the young- sters. and with the new rink. it ls expected that very fine ltockey players will be turned out from these youngsters.

Lobster ﬁshermen of Georgetown along with their fellow fishermen of other Provincial fishing centers are all familiar with the general dissatisfaction which for the past few years has invariably arisen each May 1st.. regarding the open- ing hour of the lobster fishing sea- son, which is at present set by Dc- partmental regulations for 12:01 AM, will learn with interest of steps now being undertaken to solve the problem. In their attempt to arrive at a. decision which they hope would represent the majority opinion of Island lobster fishermen, the P.E.I. Fisheries Federation have circulated a ballot through licensed cannery operators or buyers to fishermen on which they may make their choice of several pro- posed upening hours, they being the present time cf 12:01 A.M.: along with proposed hours of 7.00 A.M.. and 12.00 noon.

Getrtown Eagles Defeat Montague

.__.__

In a game packed with plenty of thrills, the fast-skating George- town Eagles defeated the Mont- ague Meteors by tlhe score of 6-4 at the _Montague Rink on Wed- nesday night. Georgetown, who had no points up to this game, went all out. to sew this one to tie them with Murray Harbour. The local squad showed some fan- cy passing, and time after time swept in on the Georgetown goal, only to be defeated by tihe sen- sational stops of Stevens. Both teams a.r\ perfecting their passing plays, which makes the game look good to the fans who were enjoy- ing the speedy hockey. And speedy it was, with the two teams skat- ing like mad for either end, car- rying plays and backchecklng.

Finally in the second period a fight. started which was finally separated by the referee. but an- other battle developed at the end of the period in which both teams and some fans participated. How- ever, things cooled off in the third session, and the fans weremreated to a. ﬁne exhibition of good hoc- key. a fine game between fine teams.

HALIFAX. N.S., Feb. 4 -— (Spec- iaD-A strong appeal for a. na- tional policy of comp y in- spection and grading of all can- ned fish and ﬁsh products, and also for assistance from the Fish- eries Prices Support Board in the production of the relief types of canned ﬁsh. was made by Mr_ Sidney Burhoeﬂharlottetown. pre- sldent of the Prince Edward ls- land Fisheries Federation at the closing session of third annual East Coast Fisheries Conference. Speaking on the afternoon ag- enda along with Messrs. Ronald G. Smith, Lunenburg. and Fletcher S. Smith. Halifax. on the subject of inspection and marketing, Mr. Bur-hoe said that his views were not necessarily those of the P.E_I. Federation, but were based on his own .expcrlence and convictions. It is generally admitted. he said. that marketing of canned ﬁsh in volume is difficult today. and that exports have been shut off because of exchange difficulties in many cases. On the dzmestlc market. the trouble has been expressed over and over again. as to the lack of nualiiv and uniformity of packs. "Quality control“ has been shouted from the housetops by the Department, but too little ai- texttion has been paid to carrying out. this slogan by the industry.

Past System Unsatisfactory

"I know some will say that the Department will regulate to im- prove quality," Mr. Burhoe added "Bui- hoxv? Our past system of grnding canned ﬁsh has. in my opinion, been far from satisfactory to the packer, and farther still from giving- us that quality cnn- trol we so much talk about and which is so essential ff we are to create and hold consumer accept- ance. Do not think that I am criticising our inspection depart- ment: such is not the case. for I believe thev carrv out their work earnestly and fairly. 'I‘hev should be commended for putting the system into effect so quickly and efficiently when we were in a state of emergency. ‘But 1‘ believe we have outlived that state .of emergency. The time has come for improvement. '

"Surely no one will sav that the recent Order-in-Council PC 3599 ix an improvement To mv mind it is a most backward step and one that will lessen ournunl- lfv in canned ﬁsh rat-her than improve it. I know the Depart-- ment has had manv objections to the nasi grading system and lt is the fault cf the industry that we have not a better svsfrrn of dual- itv control. The canned ﬁsh in- dusrrv must- sink their natty ob- jections and unite in‘ demand a nrone~ system nf nualiiv Cﬂiifrni, In that event I believe the De- partment. will cooperate loo-per- ccnt to give them what they want.

Far From Uniform

“Our lobster packers claim ex- emption from compulsory inspec- tion and grading on the grounds that strict supervision of canner- les. eic.. has produced n perfect back. They forget that; such sup- ervisionds compulsory: but not- withstanding all this the pack is far from uniform in quality and Weiﬁhls. and cannot be sent to all markets which rcqulm gun Welilht lobster in good uniform quallt-y_

“Pretty much the some argu. ment comes from the sardine pack- er: of New Brunswick. who _will tell you that their quality t, u. cepfed without compulsory gﬂqd. luff. Recently a controversy arose among oui members about the factory embossed numbers not be- ing on sardine cans as required by regulation where two m- mgr-g canneries are operated. To satis- 1km? vilrloslty I went to a groc- ery sfore and thought. two well- known brands of supposedly same Quﬂlltl’. Rs both cans were priced eouauy- When opened I found one to be a lovely can. containing small fish. well cleaned and well Packed. ‘rho other can——same Prim-slime quality -— contained parts of three herring not too well washed and not too ﬂppeuz- ins. Yet we are told that the industry does not need inspection of raw material nor grading o: ﬁnished product!

“To increase our overall volume in canned fish we must realize whet ls needed. and demand that. ihe Department see to it mt the "BRSMYY work is done. It is my opinion that in this country. bounded by two oceans. there is an appalling lack of knowledge of the different species of ﬁsh and the many ways that these kinds can be prepared To many people "ﬁsh an fish". and if the house- wife finds one lrind.or one brand good. all is well. Unfortunately if she ﬁnds one can not to her lik-

“Not. only is this- apparent lack of knowledge or interest confined to the busy housewife. I recall leaving the Quebec conference last year ﬁlled with thoughts of ﬁsh and fish. and boarding a C.

Urges Compulsory. Policy‘ Of Inspection 6's’ Grading Of Fish Products

product wu proving satisfactory. but along came shipments of cm- ned her-ring. from B. C. and the quality washed out. the demand for "Canadian" canned herring You may say this was wartime or shortly after. and as much care perhaps was not. exercised tn con- trol quality as should have been taken. That may be true. but there seems to be such a. co-

of many that we cannot afford to have one kind bring disgrace upon the ﬁsh family.

A High Ideal

"A national policy of quality control is a big thing and would take years to bring about. Some may even say it. is impossible. Tlhat may be true if we have not the faith nor the will to achieve it. It is a high ideal; a target to be aimed at."

Mr_ Burhoe went on to suggest the desirability of teaching the art of cooking fish dishes. and of making this a. part of the cur- riculum in short courses put on by Provincial Governments. He believed it would pay good divid- ends. and also assist the tourist industry.

"We are sold on the idea." he added, “that if we build ‘a. better mouse-trap’ the world will beat a path to our door. Why not be- lieve the same aboutour ﬁsh in- dustry and do something about it’!

"I consider it an absolute neces- sity that the Fisheries Prices Sup- port Board give some support to the production of the relief types of canned ﬁsh." Mr. Burhoe said in conclusion. "Some ‘may not. agree; there are many arguments on this point. We know it is an artiﬁcial stimulus 'to- this partic- ular branch of the industry; but if we do not get support this year from the Board. many of our small canneries that mean so much to our small communities will fall into disrepair and will not be in a position to produce when the time comes_

"That time is not yet. but we know the demand exists and soon-

countries."

In conclusion lvLrf Bunhoe sum. marlzcd his points as follows:

1. The creation of a spirit or will to tackle the problem of quality control.

2. The need for a better system i0 coittrol quality.

3, A national raolicy.

4. A ﬁsh cookery course.

5. Support from FEPSB, in or- der that ihe canned ﬁsh industry mav be nble to produce when needed f0 do so.
