TIIE FISHERIES Complete statistics of the fishing industry of Canada. for the year 1929 have just been issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, in co- operation with the Department of Fisheries. The report gives informat- ion regarding the landing and mark- eting of fish in each fishing district in Canada, with totals for countries and provinces. The number and value of boats and gear is also shown by fishing districts, and details regard- ing fish canning and curing estab- “ hments, by counties. The total catch of all kinds of fish in 1929 amounted to 1,063,094,903 pounds, and the marketed value was $53,518,527. The industry had a. cap- ital investment of 882,519,444 and gave employment; to 80,450 persons. Canada. exported in 1929 fish and fish products to the value of $37,540,- 303 while imports of similar products were valued at $3,233,900.

The letter is self-explanatory and I followed it up with another signed by the Mayor of this city and myself and mailed it to one hundred wealthy people. Meantime as I could not bear to hear children cry for food in vain I opened another place where I give free food to needy people. I serve the 600 who used to cat. at the place that was closed and 200 more and it will soon be 1,000, as times are getting worse. The world-wide business de- presslon together with the low price of sugar, which‘ i.s the mainstay in Cuba, is causing great distress, there- fore I am bending all my energy and resources to relieve it. I. am paying for everything to run this outing house myself alone, but expect a. little help from some of the wealthy later on. I have three, other such places in three smaller cities where give free food (uncooked) but 1n a. city of this size, which has 10,000 people, I cook the food for economy's sake. I will not get any help in the smaller places as I did not ask for it. TO THE WEALTIIY CITIZENS OF CAMAGUEY Fearing that all of you may not know of a grave situation that has arisen in your City I take this means of calling your attention thereto. You all know of the Economic Kit- chen of General Gomez Street where six or seven hundred poor people rc- ceived one meal each day for the last two months but perhaps some of you do not know that it has been closed for the last ten days for want or funds and that many of these people are almost entirely without food since it closed. ' Several of them are calling on me for assistance but as I recently 00n- structed a. large orphanage 1n Can- ada, entirely at my own expense, be- sides helping to construct and. main- tain several others in dlfferents parts of the United States and Canada and I am also helping several poor fam- ilias here ln Camaguey, Hatuey, Sib- anicu and other places I can not do much more as I am near-ins the 911d of my resources. Therefore I am 0P‘ peeling to all people of means t0 come to the rescue or‘ these poor peo- pie by sending your contribution to the Mayor of your City so this place can again be opened. Some people think when the Zaire starts it Will not be so badly needed but as most of those that came to that 1116M Wfie either feeble old men or women and children who have no worker in their families, the Zafra. will not help them much.

Therefore I B-PPBB! i0 Y0" by the graves of those innocent little children who have perished of mal- nutrition in the past and by the still vaster numbers who will perish in the near future if help is refused, not only to be generous to be quick, not only to send in your contributions immediately but to continue sending it as long as there are hundreds of fsmtshing little children in your midst- Yours very truly.

No official estimate of the number of dead liad yet been attempted, but popular belief and the ilnofficipl est.- imates of relief workers placed it at more than 500 and possibily 11s many as 1,000, for‘ Napier, Hastings, arid other towns of I-Iawkcs Bay Province in the earthquake affected zone. All efforts were spent today in aid- i11g the injured. searching the ruins for still living victims and preparing for a. general evacuation of the city before disease could follow 111 the footsteps of disaster. The expression "wiped from thc map," may be used advisedly, for not. only have the man-made struct- ures of Napier been razed, but the actual topography has been changed so that existing maps fail to describe with any accuracy whatsoever the coastline, harbor- and inland contours MARINE CHANGES Bluff Hill and other liigli promon- tories were tossed by the mighty for- ces of the earthquake into ilie sea, the floor of which has so risen that cven small boats cannot enter the harbor. The seafront itself has reccd eci fully 100 feet. from the famous Marine Parade. There was n sad stir and bustle early today when authorities pr\~ pared for evacuation of the city to save the population from disease which would result/from the wreck- cd water and sanitation systems, Tho inhabitants had little to do to prepare for leaving, however, 11s in most. cases all they had in the world was destroyed when their homes coll- apsed and fire spread through the ruins.

HORRIBLE TALES Relief worker's who arrived toduy were told by the survivors horrible tules of panic as the first shocks rock erl the city.

Eivlfil’ your millions of insects, their 933s and larvae are eaten by such buds as L110 Chickadee, robin, fly- catcher. swallow, svocdpecker, and Warbler. Because of this, these birds are known as "insectivorous," which means inscci. eating. (Ask the child. fen to cite instances observed) These insects which .mult.iply so rapidly and 111 such immense num- bers, would devour all the vegetation 111 cur fields and 111 our forests, were 1t 110i. for these little birds- We might‘ snvc our orchard trees for a time, at least. by constant spraying. but. we could never keep our forests alive in this manner. A king, on one occasion, was greng. 1y annoyed because the birds were eating some of his cherries so he ord- \vz1.s to be shot. ‘This command was carried out, and within two years there was not a, single cherry to be fcund in his orchard, for the very simple reason that insects, unchecked by the birds, devoured the foliage as $0011 as it appeared. ~ To understand tilc value of birds and W111: they are protected it, is ziccessary that we learn how import- ant they are to 1111111.

Gulls. terns, petrels, and other waterbirds are useful to navigators, fishermen and pilots, for in thick fog- gy weather their clamorous cries sometimes give warning to the mur- iner- that he is nearing the rocks on which they breed. Fishermen often discover schools oi fish by watchin! the sen. birds which noisily pursue them in quest of food. Gulls are also useful about harbours and inlets where they devour the garbage and other refuse matter which is thrown into the water, thus often preventing the unsanitary and disagreeable con- dition which would result along our beaches if it were not for their ser- vices. SPORT Another group of birds not so val- uable as insect destroyers B protected for other and important reasons. This group is known as the Came Birds and lncludas the ducks, geese, sand- pipers and plovers. At a very early period in’ the his- tory“ of the human race man lived chiefly by hunting and fishing. The desire to match our wits against. the wild creatures and to hunt them for sport and for food still persists in many o1‘ us. The hunting of game birds is a. healthy and manly sport. It develops our sense of sight, 0111‘ sense of hearing and the art of wood- craft which we have largely lost through living in cities. I 011cc upon a time, when the white! man first came to the American Con- tinent, there were such vast swarms of these birds, that at certain seasons of the year they darkened the sky when they took flight. But because they have not had sufilcicnt protec- tion, and because men did not un- dcrstand that they should give the birds some rest. especially in it“ spring when they are nesting, our game birds are greatly reduced in numbers, while some kinds have been wiped out of existence aliflflmff- n the parent birds are killed '111 the spring or early summer before the young ones are old enough to look after themselves, the you"! starve to death. ‘Therefore. if this should go on. year after year, we soon would h“! no birds at all.
