OTTAWA. May 15-—(Speciali-— value of Canada's total catch of‘ ﬁsh reached an all-time high oft $113,690,630 in 1945 according .410 an advance consolidation of flsii- ing statistics, made public today‘ by Trade and Commerce Minister J, A. MhCKlllilﬁlll in co-operation with Fisheries Minister H. F. G. Bridges.

This total is three times the value oi ﬁsh marketed in Canada and nearly double the value of the total 1M1 catch. Market value of the Prince

Edward Island total catch in

1945 reached an all-time re-

cord of 83.076311 which is nl- l

most double the value of ﬁsh

products caught and marketed i

in the Province in 1942. l

British Columbia and Atlantic‘ salmon accounted for the ﬁrsti

place in the ﬁshing industry. Marketed value of the salmon l oetch was $25,994,395. with cod l

and its by-products coining sec-i ond for a total value of $19,662 l 4B0. Herring took third place with‘; a-value of $l3,887.4i0 and lobst fourth with a gross value of $13.- 260,135.

Prince Edward Island accounted for 2.7 percent of the total sea and inland fish production oi’ the Dominion with a 1945 catch of 31,053,500 pounds, a quantity slightly less than that caught by either Manitoba or Ontario in their inland ﬁsheries arid more {than the catch of Alberta.

_ 1945 Fish itatohSecond War 00st An All-timelligh GanadaTWiceAs ‘For P. E. Island Much As First l

By DOUGLAS HOW OTTAWA. May l5-tCP)—And much, somebody ha! asked, is this $‘20.255.000.000 the government says it has cost Cen- ada for the Second World War and for demobilization?

It is more than l2 times the $1.610,000,000 it cost Canada far the First World War. _

It is a good chunk of cash bis- gcr than the gross national debt of $l5.'l12.000.000 at the cnd of 1945 and makes a sissy out of the 1920 gross national debt of 511-041-- 000.000. It helped immensely to lift that debt from Q.'710i009-090 in 1939 to the 1945 ﬁgure- ‘m? which allows Canada to travel in the best international circles of red ink.

It is something like three times the $6,900.000,000 oi’ foreign cap- ital that wns invested in Canada In 1939; it is not quite tirice tho total national income oi’ 511.359.- 000.000 in i945 and is four times the $075,000,000 of 1938.

It is about 10 iimcs the amount Finance Minister Abbott has est- imated Caiiadn will need to flu- ance Federal ("iovciziiiiiciit expen- ditures in the ﬂscnl year of 1947- 48 and more than 30 times what these costs were in a pre-ivar bud- get.

It is close to the total national wealth as estimated in 1921 at 322.195.000.000, and not far oﬁ the $25,768.000.000 for 1933, these ﬁg- ures representing natural wealth that has been appropriated and put to use but not undeveloped natural resources.

"Because he happened lil at the moment ivlion thcyu-cre making a getaway. I suppose. I don't kizoiv. All I know i-s.

She puilod tine intriguing little veiled hat carefully over her fair dig, and plungej lier arms i-nto the sleeves of Sylvia's fur coal. ‘~

“Perhaps he failed to do any-

thing aloiic, and dashed off lo fetch help," said M . Calder, hciplu.l_y, showing more speed in perception than usual.

"lf he had he'd have dashed up the road he'd break his neck uvci" the grass in the dark. And lie an’; on the road. }lc‘s gone with them. I knew something would happen the moment I took my eyes off him," she said unreasonably. and snatched up her gloves. “Look. mother, do something for me- soniethirig [rightfully important!

“Of course, dear, this minute. But what are you going to do? It will take half an hour to find the men. I expect—"

"Thais what I'm afraid of," said Peggy. “1 can't ivait. Five minutes may make all tlie difference. I'm going to drive up by myself alter thcnn"

“But-but it isn‘t safe. And what can you do alone?"

“More than all the police. may- be." said Peggy. still confident in her identity as Eleanor Vandecur. It had not yet been called in ques- tion. She was still, as far as she knew. Lady Oo\vle's ‘white-header’ chi-Id. True, this departure from

She dashed from the house, and ran to open the gates.

If she did not reach COICFIGgI: Square. at least Superintendent Barker and his men would rcaih it in due'time. And now she had to concentrate on her chances, not. upon her fears.
