Pi-emier Matheson freely admit- ied his limited knowledge of the work involved in commercial fish- ing but added that he recognized inc activity as the second largest industry in the Province. He com- plimented the members of the is- sociation on the clarity of their ideas put forward over the years. which have resulted in advanced thinking and action in the fishing industry "An intelligent and co- operative application for the con- sideration of your ideas from time to time will get you what you want". the Premier said.

IEES GREAT OPPORTUNITIES

Hon. Dougald Macxinnon said that the fishermen have had to carry many burdens and it was his hope and belief that "we can give you a boost over the rough spots". He reminded the fisherm that the Gulf of St. Lawrence was now acknowledged the greatest fishing area on the Atlantic coast. Touching on filletint lresh fish. creating new markets and a great- er demand the Minister continued.

Mr. Bertram Blaquiere of North Rustlco. chairman of the meeting. called upon Mr. E- M. Gorman. Director of Fisheries.

Coady and welcome him on behalf of the shore fishermen oper- ating an industry which was under- going the growing pains of off-shore fishing with great hopes for the future.

DR. COADY'B ADDRESS

Dr. Coady in his opening to- marks said. "I am not an alarmist but I believe that the decline of our rural communities is the tra- gedy of our time. Don't misunder- stand me, every town and village in the Maritime Provinces except possibly Sydney and Halifax where certain industries flourish. in 'rural'. Indeed this is true of all Canada except for the largest such-as Montreal and Tor- onto. With 16 million people now in Canada and the prediction that the population will reach 3) million by 1080. the prospects of a rosy future stagger imagination."

Dr. Coady described the decline and fall of Canada and the United

conditions which brought riches but a decline to 1.4 in family child- ren where four children per fami- ly is regarded as necessary. The evil indicated here is that society cannot continue to reproduce it- self equally with the small com- munity wherc folks dwell in har- mony as human beings.

Little Canadian communities which were once resourceful, are getting worse. Dr. Coady said. Organized scheming monopoly in- dustries are sounding their death knell.

"You in P. E. Island cab study the facts without bias and with humility. stamina and devotion take a leaf from the book of big busi- ness and apply it in your own area for the improvement of liv- ing conditions for thousands of adults and children."

As an example of this he nilon- ed a Nova Scotia firm whic took steps in this direction. with the re- sult that a prominent buyer in Toronto will handle no other fish than that produced by the firm.

in his experience in the fisheries. Mr. Cssieil said that some of the tests made on Maritime fish offer- ed for sale in Toronto. Detroit and Buffalo showed disappointing re- sults. He told the fishermen that by taking the advice of department officials and by having the ctr operation of all the agencies who handle the fish before 1 reaches the table of the consumer. a great deal of this could be eliminated.

Poor quality fish arriving on the retail market is not a good ad- vertisement for fish products. He felt that for fishermen to improve their product they must be given a motive. And the motive suggest- ed by Mr. Cestcll was proper grad- ing of fish so that the fishermen who had taken care to land a good catch would be properly recom- pensed. He said that fish can be handled so that it will keep fresh for 13 days but pointed out that it can go bad in less than six days when everyone does not co-operate.
