Conservation Is Highlight At Fisheries Conference

HALIFAX ‘CP)—The 15th an- nual meeting of the Interna- tional Commission for North- west Atlantic Fisheries will be officially opened here today by Fisheries Minister Robichaud.

More than 90 delegates from 13 member nations are expected to attend sessions, concluding June 12. Scientists met here for the past 10 days to organize in- formation that will be studied at the meeting

Conservation of fisheries stocks in the northwest Atlantic is the main goal of ICNAF. Reg- ulating of the sizes of net mesh used by trawlers has heen the most effective method of - ing that smaller fish would sur- vive. but the build-up in fishing pressure, especially on cod and

haddock, has been so great that mesh regulations alone are no longer considered adequate.

STUDY CONSERVATION

Delegates will study addi- tional conservation measures which might be used to ensure maximum continuous. catches from fish stocks. in the north- west Atlantic. John Gharrett, North Atlantic regional director of the U.S. fisheries bureau, de- nied a report last week that consideration would be given at the meeting to the closing of the fishing season on George's Bank off the Massachusetts coast for several months as a conservation measure.

Japan, although not a mem- ber of ICNAF, is represented at

Nowlan Funeral

Is Held Saturday

WOLFVILLE, NS. (CP)- More than 1,000 persons—top federal and provincial political leaders among them—attended the fyneral in this Annapolis Valley town Saturday of George Nowlan, former member of Parliament and cabinet minis- ter

First elected ta represent Digby-Annapolis-Kings in 1948 and a member continuously from 1950, Mr. Nowlan died Monday in Ottawa at the age of 66

Revenue minister in the fed- eral government of John Die- fenbaker in 1957, Mr. Nowlan was made finance minister of the Progressive Conservative administration in 1962.

Opposition Leader Diefen- baker, Liberal Labor Minister Allan MacEachen and Finance Minister Walter Gordon led a list of more than 25 members of Parliament attending the

services at Wolfville Baptist Church and a nearby graveside Lieutenant - Governor H. P.

MacKeen, Chief Justice J. L. Iislev and three other Supreme Court judges attended. Premier Robert L. Stanfield and several of his cabinet ministers repre- sented the province

Rev. F. F Faton, Mr. Nowl- an’s pastor, delivered the eul-|

ogy as about 309 persons in the crowd listened from a lawn out- side the 700-seat church.

Mr. Faton, a personal friend of Mr. Nowlan's, said the par- liamentarian was “one whose beliefs leaped over barriers of race, religious beliefs and social classes, brushing aside social conventions. Before beifg a student, a churchman, politician or anything else,” Mr. Nowlan “rejoiced in the common heri- tage of being a man.”

Joining with the farmers, lawyers, scholars and others of the quiet valley town in mourn- ing were senators and members of the Commons from as far away as the northwest territor- tes.

Mass., office of | | Taiyo-California- Inc., the oaly ' Japanese fishing firm that oper- ated in the ICNAF region last year, said Japan will eventually apply for membership. No Jap- anese trawlers are fishing ICNAF waters now, but at least one craft is expected later this year.

LEAVE SEALS OUT

It is unlikely, a spokesman | said, that ICNAF will become responsible for the conservation of harp and hood seals in the northwest Atlantic during the meeting as previously expected. Two member nations, Italy and Poland, although not involved in the seal-hunting, have not rati- fied a proposal that ICNAF take on the job.

Reports are expected from Canadian, Russian and United States officials on the exchange of visits by fisheries experts to fishing fleets in the northwest Atlantic last month. The tours, | which included visits to fisher- ies plants in Nova Scotia and Massachusetts, were arranged | so that the nations could ob- | serve different fishing proce-| dures and see that ICNAF con- | servation regulations were be ing followed.

MONTREAL (CP}—The Fed- eration of St. Jean Baptisie Se cieties adopted a number of far- reaching proposals at a week- end annual meeting, including a suggestion to place Quebec's future steel mill under provin- cial government control.

Delegates representing prov- ince - wide branches of the French - Canadian patriotic group voted to urge the govern- ment to assume majority con- trol of the mill called Sidbec, soon to be constructed at Becan- cour, Que, midway between Quebec and Montreal.

For Rougher Landing

After command pilot James McDivitt listed where all of the gear on board would be stowed during descent, flight communi- said it sounded _ pretty crowded

“It's pretty deep. I can just barely See out of the window,” McDivitt said in good humor.

He was then asked how much the collected refuse in the space- craft weighed and he answered jokingly:

“About 3,000 pounds.”

The weight distribution of the equipment and the stowed re- fuse aboard is necessary to fix the centre of gravity of the spacecraft and determine its be- haviour during its decent.

The Gemini spaceship entered

(7:05 p.m. ADT).

The astronauts were well rested—keeping an eye open for landmarks on earth, spotting ‘stars; sleeping alternately, and watch ing for any other satellites is their paths. Earlier, they joked about an extra week in space and traded a few friendly im- sults between them.

The astronauts—after some sound sleep aided by radio silence—were watching for the largest satellite in space, one they think they saw Friday.

The were due to come within 275 miles of the huge, winged Pegasus Il satellite about 2:39 pm. EDT over Hawaii—and try for positive identification.

The astronauts spotted an- other mystery satellite in space Saturday night.

After their sound sleep pe- riods overnight, the astronauts sounded happy and refreshed Sunday—and jested with each other and with Gemini control.

“I'm sure tired of looking at his ugly face,” command pilot James A. McDivitt told Gemini control. *“‘He needs a shave.”

“I'm getting tired of hearing that silly voice, too, McDivitt,” retaliated pilet Edward H. White ITI.
