I950 Modernizing The Fisheries The intloduction of draggers or trawl- ers has been discussed l'0r some years. but the first experimental vessel has not yeti been laid down, lnuch less seen operation. Consequently the present plight of our fish- ermen cannot be laid to their door. If fish- ermen find that the time and effort of carrying orl with hand lines and nets froln )fllly boats is nlore than is warranted by the returns in cash, then it is obvious that some means must be found of increasing the catch per f ishcrman. Those who should know, assure us that the extenuve banks of the Gulf can easily support a number of trawlers without danger of depletion. The big boats seem to offer an ideal opportun-; ity for raising the standard of livlng of the fisherman. as well as enabling the Island to break into markets which demand a steady supply of the fish over most of the year. The secondary industries of. pack- ing and transportation will be expanded and there is little doubt that the use of these larger vessels would greatly increase the incomes of our fishermen. There is the fac- tor that the boats will be expensive to buy and outfit. The individual fisherman can- not hope to acquire one except by entering into a partnership or by organizing a com- pany for the purpose. The completely independent inshore fish- erman is on the way to becoming u museum piece but his successor, although perhaps less picturesque, can be expected’ to raise the standard of living of our fishing com- munities. Spring Monday This year the first moment of spring is due here at 34 minutes before midnight Monday. So that brings the first full spring tiay—according to the books—to March 21. Which is as it has always been. If you want to be niggling about it, says The Gazette, you can say that spring is also on March 20—for 34 minutes. “Spring," the meteorologist explains, "is a phenomenon which I observe by changes in the appearance of the lithosphere or crusts or surface of the earth." _ First of all, the vernal equino.\—-—the first moment of spring—is an astronomical date fixed by the passage of the sun across the equator. "l'hat is the moment when the sun enters the zodiacal period of Aries, the‘ Ram. That is {M minutes before midnight next Monday. ‘ Again, spring is that time when the average temperature in a 24-hour period rises above 43 degrees. And that, says the academician, is more like it. That is when the plant cells begin to stir. when sap starts running in the trees. ' This condition varies from year to year. Some years it begins in March, some years in April. The spring thaw generally starts between March 20 and 25. That is when the mean temperature rises above 32 degrees. 'l‘hell about April 18, the mean temperature here will rise above 43 degrees. And that is the beginning of the seasonal life of grains. trees. That is spring. "EDITOR! Twenty-two days till . Easter. N o o I AL NOTES I Tomorrow the fourth Sunday in Lent.

One thing seems certain. it Premier Jones. should get that Senate appointment, the Red Chamber would be a much less rest- ful spot than it now is. Britain's merchant shipping fleet is now back to pre-war strength. The huge gap ill the United Kingdom's tonnage of over 3!I_- million tons in 1945 has been made good within 4'/_» years. 0 There was a strong argument for having Newfoundland set up its own government to negotiate terms of confederation. but coll- federation being now an accolnplished fact, our new fellow citizens would be wise to concentrate on making it a success. A report that a British airplane manu- facturer has developed a new type of test for pressurized airliners—testlng them un- derwater—brings to mind the fact that boys have used that method of finding leaks since compressed air was first used in the bicycle tire. I 0 Titles of motion pictures are not particu- larly significant, but it seems unfortunate that the National Film Board's picture deal- ing with co-operatives should be entitled, "The Rising Tide." It is altogether too reminiscent of “The Wave of the Future." , O O 0 Since 1945, 300,000 more places for school children have been provided in Eng- land and Wales——the equivalent of about 1,000 new schools. Today the average size of school classes in Britain is 32.9. This is smaller than before World War II despite a rise in the school-leaving age. If the average individual spent as much effort in learning how to prevent disease as he does in trying to get better when ill- ness does strike, he would be better off physically, mentally and financially. We can't improve on that old saying——“An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." So, somewhat belatedly, an- nounces the Federal Department oi’ Health. I O O The British Medical publication Lancet has turned its attention to "dish pun hands.” Noting an increase in prevalence of derma- titis of the hands the publication warns that strong detergents splashed too lavishly into the- washing-up water remove the natural greases of the skin. Its recommendations are not to put too much detergent in the water and to wear rubber gloves when washing dishes.

The recent case in .\vhich a New flampsllire physician was found not guilty of lllUl‘(it'.’l‘Illg a patient dying of cancer, has lligll-ligilted that fact as well as stirred up controversy over the rights and wrongs of e. Jlanasia. The phe- ‘nomena of the restoration of the alpparently drowned has long been familiar and medical science has restored health and strength in cases in which respiration and pulse were no longer discernible. The body does not die all at once. Various organs, tissues and cells remain alive for a-considerable time after Ilfe is apparently extinct and, indeed, may be nurtured and continue to grow if kept in a paitable environment, even when separated from the rest of the body. long before the -that body cell has died, however, there is a -,p_clnt at which recall to life is no _longer .polIo‘ble.
