MONTAGUE BUREAU OF THE GUARDIAN

Marven Johnston, Montague, was elected president of the Southern Kings and Queens Fishermen's: Association at the annual meeting lield in Monta- gue last night.

The first vice-president elect- ed was Weir MacLure, Murray harbor North, Second vice, John MacNeil, Murray Harbor. Three new directors -appointed were Willian Christian, Launch- ing; Harold Publicover (re-elec- ted) and John Boudeault, Lower Montague.

The guest speaker Urbian Le Blanc, of the extension de- partment of SDU, congratulat- ed the fishermen of the area for taking the lead along with the Eastern Kings association in organizing local associa- tions.

He reported briefly on meet- ings held in other areds and said plans were being formu- lated to have the Island divided into five areas of local associa- | tions. This would make it suit- | able for a province-wide as-| sociation, “‘However, it is up| to the fishermen in these areas | to take the lead,"’ he said. | TWO METHODS

He outlined briefly two meth- | ods for a fishermen's associa- | tion in the province, one of which would be made up of the fiveassociations on one hand and the. packers, proces- sors, distributors on the other hand, both of which would have equal voting power.

These two organizations would come together as a P.E.1. Fishermens Association with affiliation with the Canada Fish- eries Council. However, he warned the fishermen to con- sider it well and make the right
