Thii Yet" The gathering promises to be even larger and more representative than its Charlottetown predeces- sor. lt is the purpose of these conferences to act as a sounding board for industry and Gov- ernment in having various views put forth and discussed. The procedure then is for the in- dividual fish associations to bringvthese ma-tters before their members and take what action they deem expedient. At the present time many grave problems confront the fishing industry. Fir-st and foremost is that of declining markets. lt is feared that i948 will fall behind previous years in general fish sales,-witli the exception of lobster sales which may prove very satisfact- ory because of the market being practically bare at the present time. While in this Province lobsters are our most valuable fisheries in dollar returns, in the over- all picture our canning of herring, mackerel and haddie is regarded as of equal value as the cost of production is much less, and the employ- ment given to our many fishing communities an the Island is more widely distributed. Also, the season is prolonged to a six or seven months period instead of the bare two months usually given to lobster fishing. All our fisheries, however, are of concern to people of this Province, and it is therefore gratifying to note that we shall be well repre- seated at this week's important conference at Quebec. The lslond delegation will likely iii- cludo Messrs. H. H. Cox, M.L.A., and W. E. Agnew, representing the Provincial Government, as well as Messrs. John B. Myrick, Tignish, who ‘ls a member of the Executive of the Fisheries Council of Canada and Past President of the F. E. l. Fisheries Federation; Mr. S. H. Burhoe, "President of the last named organization, and Messrs. Paul Gallant, Souris, L. L. Noonan and J. E. Burden. - Tho subjects on the agenda include ex- port and domestic marketing, and legislation Ngarding inspection and grading. The speak- ors will include Hon. Milton Gregg, V.C., Fed- oral Minister of Fisheries; Hon. C. E. Pouliot, M.D.,'Quebec Minister of Fisheries; Hon. Paul Beaulieu, C.A., Quebec Minister of Trade and CWWIIWFW; D- B. Finn, D.Sc., C.B.E., Director of Fisheries Division, Food and Agricultural Org- anization of the United Nations'; Charles E. ‘Jflikfllll. general manager, National Fisheries Institute of the United States; and R. Gushue, C.B.E., chairman of the Newfoundland Fisheries Board. Trade and Development. A report from Parliament Hill says that the Department of Mines and Resources will be divorced from Immigration and merged with Trade and Commerce into a single department to be known as Trade and Development, with Mr. Howe as Minister. ' This, argues the Ottawa Journal, would be logical. The development of mineral and other resources belongs with the promotion oftrade and commerce, bnd nowhere else, and why it pwas ever linked up with immigration remains one of those mysteries that exist only in govern- mont. Actually the job of looking after mines and resources and handling immigration is ol- together too big for the average minister, re- quiring a versatility of talents not too com- mon in cabinets, and certainly too big at a‘ time when both activities have became 'of prime importance. During the war and far some yea-rs prior to it immigration was not overly important — we were more concerned with excluding people than with admitting them < -—bnt that" done with. What is called for now .i a vigorous, well-planned immigration plan under a single and vigorous minister. So with our mineral and other resources. lf construction in’ - this country is‘to prosper, if our world trade is to be placed oii a secure basis-at least as secure as world conditions will permit -- the first thing we must do is to look to our resources. They won't be looked to if we regard their administration as unimport- ~- ant‘, making it but on adiu-nct of a-ii jminigra- = tion‘ department, itself all too ‘long a "poor farm" {of government. _ _ i , Elizabeth's Food Parcels. .~ The quantity of food sent as wedding pros- Qltfi to Princess Elizabeth has now reached such ‘ ' rtions, duo to ths generosity of commun- " and. organizations in Canada and in other “of the world, that a much wider distribu- thon that originally contemplated will be Princess Elizabeth has asked that, rather beiiigconfined ta needy people in the ' lolvrnpwlii ‘suffered severely during disti- rrtton should be spread over iisitriinjsri . swan.

Mr. Hamming mentions the bootdegging which is going on in Charlottetown. There is plenty of it going on in P. E.I. and the rest. of Canada. Why blame the Coun- cil for not. having it cleared up? I wonder if tvLr. tfemitntng has ever been on Richmond Street when the City and Mounted Police have made raids? As soon as the ralcl is completed, there is a new sup- ply brought. in, and it. usually doesn't. take any longer than one hour to be set , up for-l business again. Did Mr. I-Iemirnirig ever think that: he was to blame for this situation? Yes, he and the rest; o-f the citizens of Charlotte- tuwu and Prince Edward Island are the only ones to blame. Pro- hibition in, Prince Ecirward Island is so out. of date that even slow- izoing Toronto has finally taken further steps to curb baotiegging by opening cocktail lounges. Every Person tn P. E.

Surely he has been off the Island and noticed how other towns and cities she some size as Charlottetown have handled traf- fic. Kentville, even sonallerfl than Summerside. has two traffic lights which handle all the traffic pass- ing through the main street of the town. Truro, about. the same size as Charlottetown in area, has numerous lights to handle traffic. Tourists - visiting Charlottetown laugh at the traffic carillon in the Capital. and well they should. This I believe is the only thing which the City Council fell dorwn on while they were in office.- Pos- sibly this will be rectified in the near future. "Stop and Slow" signs are out. of date, and inadeq- unto. But. why blame the police force for the recent "break-ins" in the City? They have done an excel- lent job ineiipturing thieves. and has MLI Herrininr; forgotten the ‘Ikainor murder when two police officers caught the murderersred- handed? Petty crime goes on in ail towns. large and small. and as far as Charlottetown is concerned, it compares, favorably with num- erous Northern Ontaria towns the same size. Mr. Hamming mentions the noise ivhich is caused in the city by groups of boys and girls on street corners. That ts only a small matter. rind possibly Mr. Hemming is speaking about n pat- lieuiar corner where he lives and there is a dance hall across the street. where n. group of high school students hold a dance until 1M5 Saturday night. Mr. Hem- miniz is a great. booster of youth in the city, and one dance n week should never keep him from suf- fering loss of sieerp. If he lived in any other city the size ofChsr- lotbetorwn he would have to put up with noisy trusses blowing horns. and loud engines, and in manly eases trains shunting curing the night.
