Oct. 18 —(CP) -— Government experts srre primed for a trial census among 120.000 Can- adians this Saturday which will mark the beginning of streami-lined and revolutionary changes in the official art of counting noses. It will test new machinery and methods being groomed for the regular Canadian decennial census in i951 but its results will be watched all around the world. Of- ficials hope ii will cut census costs by half and produce the main facts in from six to nine momthb. less than haii the traditional period.

The following interesting article is‘ from the Prince Rupert, B. C. Daily Times of recent date: Four Prince Edward Island fisherman who made a SJOO-mlla motor trip from their home to Prince Rupert are probably the ever had a boat wrecked on dry qusrtette are Court, mustached leader of the Court family and his three grown sons, Quintin, Emard and Veard of North Rustico, and they came west to sac what is doing in the fishing line. Things, according to the elder Court, are slowing down s-bit back east. So on September 1, they put their bedrolls in their 1941 Olds- mobile and headed west. And they went west—-as far west as they could go. Namely, the Queen Charlotte Islands. Before they left they loaded their 32-foot boat, the Linda, aboard a railway flatcar just so they would have something to fish with when they got here. That's where the shipwreck came in. Seems a landslide hit the flai- car in the interior of B.C., knock- lnE the wheels out from under it. UP to yesterday Mr. Court hadn't heard how the boat itself had made out. The Court odessey was no spur- cf-thc-moment migration. It was the product of careful planning after canny preliminary invggflgg. tion. If it hadn't been for the dry land shipwreck they probably even now would be wetting their long-lines in the west gidq of Hecate Strait instead of waiting around Prince Rupert. "Things aren't as lively in the fishing industry in Prince Edward island as they used to be," Mr. Court said. "Not that they are really bod, mind you, but they are slackening off a bit. So just in case things really began‘ to go down hill we decided to investi- ssu; some other part of the coun- y. "Ws had heard about the Queen Charlotte Islands so last fall, I de- cided to learn about them. Sub- scribed to the Prince Rupert Daily News and read all I could about the district. The village of Tlell struck our fancy so'we wrote a letter to Mr. Gigerich there and we entered into correspondence. “As a result, they have a house to go to at Tleli. This,for thqtime being, will be the western out- post of Court expansion and it. may become a permanent base if things go right. Are Confident "Haven't any fear that we can make our living fishing," said Mr. Court. "The boys have been soa- mcn and fishermen since they could walk. Things are a bit dif- ferent out hero but it shouldn't take us ions to got the hang of Mr. Court was impressed with what he termed the great amount of regulation in the fishing in- dustry on the West Coast as com- pared with the East Coast. "Out bore it seems you have to have licenses for everything and the fishing time is regulated too. Back there about the only thing that is regulated in any way is tiée lobster fishery," he comment- Q . The cod fishery, which has been the Court's onomic mainstay, is open all year round and no one requires a license to take part in it, he said. Incidentally, the family not only fishes, but they also operate a fish curing business and a retail shop which markets their products. The family isn't cutting itself off from its solid base at North Rustlco. Aware that they arrlvccl hero too late for fishing this sca- son, Mr, Court plans to remain at Tieil a few weeks, then return East with one of the boys. The other two will remain here and gefihings in shape. "Maybe, after we get going out here we might establish perman- ently. 1t's a little early to tell. yet. . The family came West on a leisurely tour, camping out often. occasionally staying at a tourist camp. They travelled through. New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario to Ssult Sta Marie then through the northern states from Michigan to Montana and into Alberta at Sweetgrass. They entered B. C. at Banff, coming ovcr the B18 Bend Highway to Kamioops and then north. “Except for that train wreck we would have arrived here about the same tirns as our boat." Mr. Court said. ‘Then we could have sailed it across to Ticli, Now, with the weather so uncertain. I guess we'll have to ship it across on a steamer. Sure hope it's all right.

Tonight's fight was a non-title ai- fslr. with both boxers weighting 137. over the limit for the division. Although King fought in the final slot, the card was highlighted by a spectacular battle between Sully Canton, Toronto lightweight. and Elis Ask, former Finnish featherweight titllst who has mov- ed up one weight class. Canton, using a. brilliant over- hand left, kept his record in Brit- ish rings untarnished in an eight- round go that had some 5.500 fight fans on their feet cheering at the finish. Both fighters weighed 1.94 1-2. King's bout with the Inndoner. over whom he already held a split decision scored in Toronto nearly two years ago. might have been hotter billed as a wrestling match. 80th fighters continually tied each other flip at the centre of the ring.

Peppin, officer in charge of Seed Potato Certification. "A lot of our growers expect to pick from 350 to 500 bushels per acre this year." Returns will not be complete until the reports from the west- ern part of the Island are in. Ono section _in the eastern part of the Island is reported to be harvesting a lower average than last year. Some blight is present but, in general, the quality looks pretty good this year, Mr, Peppin con- tlnued. He said that a feature of this year's crop may be a considerable number of oversize tubers. This forecast is borne out by the three pound ten ounce spud grown by Mr, James Show of Queen's Road. It girthed 23 1-2 inches and was brought into Montague by Mr. Fred MacIntyra of Queen's Road. Mr. Peppln says that he has never heard of or seen a bigger one than that. Debate 0n Constitutional Issue Continues By IPARCY UDONNELL UITAWA, Oct. i8 - (OP) An Opposition member today ask- ed the Commons not to assume power enabling it to change tho terms or elected governments. Stanley Knowles (CCF — Win- nipeg North Centre), speaking during continued debate on con- stitutional amendments, said Can- adians should be assured of a at least once a year and of an election every five years. He put his views in an amend- ment to the constitutional motion under debate. The motion is in the form of an address to the United Kingdom Parliament and asks that parliaments be given the power to amend the constitution of matters entirely under Federal jurisdiction. The Government's motion states that any amendments made by Parliament would not touch ou education, use of the French and English languages or matters un- der provincial jurisdiction. Mr, Knowles felt the Govern- ment motion did not go far ori- ough. In his amendment he ask- ed that Parliament likewise not take on to itself the power to dic- tate when a session or an election should be called. Speaker Ross Macdonald, who last night ruled out of order a Progressive Conservative amend- ment oalling for a constitutional conference. made no comment ai- ter reading Mr. Knowles‘ amend- ment. Ald tor Nild. At the House opening, Prime Minister St. Laurent said the Gov- ernment will expedite a public works program in Newfoundland in the hope of offsetting the Prov- ince's rising unemployment. Finance Minister Abbott said the Government plans no action against gold mines which held gold for several years in anticip- ation of the recent devaluation of the dollar. At. the night sitting 4C Quebec divorce bills were approved in principle second reading without a formal vote. During discussion on ud- ment to the constitution LP. Pic- ard (L - Beilechasse) said that Premier Duplessis of Quebec was appealing to "parochialism and prejudice" when he said his con- stitutional dispute with the Do- minion Government was a "mat- ter of life and death." In moving his amendment, Mr. Knowles said he would support the Gcverments proposal Parliament be given power amend matters strictly Federal Jurisdiction. The oppositions arguments, he said, were that it would be a mat- ter of wisdom to consult the Prov- inces even on matters that were under Federal jurisdiction. Parliament should, he said, do what the government's resolution proposes. It. should not set a pre- cedent by which the Provinces could claim the right. of being consulted on every constitutional amendment. in Federal Government would take advantage of the changes to bring within its own hands the power to institute a na- tlonai health and social-security program. The government had used not initiating such measures. at Alberton and Port Hill Sunday and administered mation at Port Hill. that .' within l ‘dorm from Capetown. | tcr.
