International reilllil’-ion of North America's Pacific halibut fishery under the convention between Canada and the United sum con- tinues ic bring increased abun- dance in convention waters.

Since 1930, the last year of unna- tricted exploitation of the fishery. the abundance of hflibut. as indi- cated by the catch per standard unit of gear fished, has increased by 78 per cent in Area 2 of the convention waters. which includes the waters of the British Columbia coast and by 3'? per cent in Area. 3, which lies west of the Cape Fpenccr, Alaska. These two areas are the important producing regions in the fishery, although some other waters are also covered by the convention.

The figures as to increase in abundance have been taken from records of the International Fish- eries Commission. which was es- tablished under the treaty for the purpose of carrying on investiga- tion and regulation of the fishery. (Regulations made ,by the Commis- sion. are subject to the approval of the Governor in Council for can- ada. and the President of the United States.) Canada is represen- ted on the Commission, popularly known as the Pacific coast halibut commission, by W. A. Found, deputy minister of the Dominion Department of Fisheries, and by J. P.

Skyway Hcstesses Must Meet Pretty Stiff Requisites

NEW YORK. April 23——Requi.re- ments are strict, yet thousands of young women are seeking the com- paratively few‘ hostess jobs avail- able on passenger ships of the U. S. air lines.

Six years agot the first major U. 8. transport line announced it was adding women to its regular crews. Since then the beauty. charm and bravery of the hostesses who cruise the skies have become tradll.ional—and applications from young women have crammed the files of the major companies. one line has 2000 applications, but in- slsis there is a. shortage of quali- fied women.

Generally stated, the air-minded young woman must fill these re- quirements if she would don the pert uniform of the stewardess:

she must be a. graduate registered nurse.

Her height must not be more than five feet four, nor may she weigh more than 120 pounds.

She must not be more than 26 years old.

She must have an engaging per- sonality, be sollcltious of the com- fort of others and capable of per-

forming a variety of tasks, from explaining the fundamentals of aerial navigation to helping change a. diaper.

One of the all‘ lines operates a school to polish its stewnrdesses. classes going into such things as passenger psycllology, how to make air travellers comfortable, serving lunches and answering questions about the geography of the route flown.

The stews:-deg must be a regis- tered nurse, explains an air line re- presentative “because the institu- tionally trained girl has an under- standing of discipline and a know- ledge of how to deal with the public that is required in the job of stew- ardess."

The stewardess may not be “beautiful but dumb."

She must have sense enough to be able to carry her end of almost any

- conversation. she must have poise

in the presence of the great and near great, for many in these classifications travel by alr—poli- ticians and movie stars, opera singers and captains of industry. The ranks of these aerial Jacque- lines-of-a.ll-tradcs are constantly being depicted by that quick bank- and-turn which lands women in front of altars. Says an air line of-

ficlal

"A majority of the stewardesses who have given up their work to become housewives have married pilots, while several others have married passengers."

Anglican Pension Assessment Revised

Abundsnce of halibut has been increasing in convention waters ever since 1930. when abundance reached it lowest level. and last year, a to commission sta- tistics. it rose in Area 2 to 01.1 ,. -‘ per standard unit of gear fished and in Area 3 to 88 pounds.

Acoomplnvlna the changes in abundance in 1985. theroiwas also an increase in the proportion of “medium" and "large" fish in the catch, which indicated that more fish of spawning s‘u were present than in proceeding seasons. More spawning fish, of course. should mean bigger production of spawn, and that. in turn, should mean in due time an in in the number of young this coming into the fish- ery. In this oonnectlonitmaybe added that investigstiosm made by commission research workers in the vicinity of the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, dtulpg the period from the first not December, 1934. to the end of Feb- ruary, 1935. indicated that halibut eggs were more abundant than dur- ing previous spawning seasons.

“If we can make this a. success it: our Diocese in the next three or four years," he said. "it will be showing the way to all other dio- ceses to follow. It is a matter of great gratification that this synod has adopted this scheme and that we have helped the church through out Canada. to see their way to adopting "similar schemes."

Draegermen and How They Got Their Name

The Moose River mining disaster has brought to public attention very vividly the Draegel-men of Siellarton. In consequence, the un- initiated in mining lore have been puzzled as to the meaning of the term "Draegermcn" and many have been the enquiries for en- llzhtenment.

First of all. a Draegemmn is one skilled in mine rescue work, but he derives the name from the equipment carried on his back- resplrators and tanks of oxygen. This apparatus was invented by a German named Dmeger. His inven- tion is in common use in the coal- mining areas where the miners fear

the deadly gas of the coal mines ‘more than they do the falling of the mine roof.

In Moose River the equipment is not required. but the skill of stellarton's rescue squad has prov- ed tobe of inestims.b‘e value.
