Minister Optimistic Over

U'l'TAwA (CF)-Canada's Sl50.- uu0.000-a-year fishing industry is in good shape from a marketing point of view.

This assurance was given in the Commons. Friday by Fisheries iiuiister Sinclair. He told the Il')llSE Canada has no fish sur- pluses. In British Columbia, oper- nlurs of the S25.000.000-a-year sal- mnn industry t " were " t ing canned salmon to customers.

llerring fishermen on the west roast had already taken 200,000 tons in their nets and probably uuuld wind up the season with a record catch.

in the Maritimes the lobster fishery was enjoying "very high prices." There was continued tran- Sillllll of the cod industry away fioin the salt product toward fresh and frozen products. a healthy development. All cod stocks would be disposed of by the end of the market year.

OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK

On Beaverbrook Biography

By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Wrilar LONDON (CP) - Lord Beaver-

brook wanted power. Money plus brains. he thought, would get for him. He had the brains and he got the money - but power eluded him. -

So says Tom Driberg. lournalist and left-wing politician. in a book on the 76-year-old press lord who emerged from ii New Brunswick manse to become an 'gmatic figure in British politics.

Drlherg's verdict is implicit in his title: "Beaverbrook: A study iii Power and Frustration." The Jook traces his career from the first get-rich-quick deal in Can- ala to the present time. and con- cludes that despite all ppear- aiiccs the power-lust was never satisfied.

PLAYS DOWN IMPACT

"The appetite was never to be sated; the power remained a mir- age," writes.Driberg, who worked on Bcoverbrook's Daily Express for 15 years.

in short. the book plays down Beaverhrookls impact, both as a hackstairs politician, described by a contemporary as the "littie Canadian adventurer." and later as a shapcr of public opinion. I-Ila mass-circulation newspapers are cniertziining. Driherg says. but hzirdiy anybody takes them se- riuusiy.

Some British writers reject this judgment. Harry Boardman. in the Manchester Guardian. considers his sway in political affairs was important enough to be "eqgated with power." He adds that a "propagand'ist of genius, even if

misguided." could hardly be lack- ing power when in control of papers whose circulation runs ipto millions.

east and west coast constituencies offered a miscellany of suggestions to improve the fishing industry. Several advocated Canadian action to get international agreement on a 12-mile limit for Canadian terri- torial waterl instead of the present three miles. At the start of the sitting Trade Minister Howe announced i in for sale of uranium to the government have been given a six-month extension in the deadline for getting into production. r The deadline has been advanced from Aprll”1, 1957, to Sept. 30. 1957. But there II no change in the March 31, 1056, deadline for completion of purchase negotia- tions or in the March 31. 1062. deadline for completion of deliv- eries.

SELL SURPLUS URANIUM

At the same time. External Af- fairs Minister Pearson said Can- ada has'iet it be known this coun- try would welcome the opportun- ity to market surplus uranium abroad within a suitable interna- tional framework under security arrangements. Discussions on the subject now were going on Washington.

really loves is-not power but ex- citement, something to feed his tremendous energy.

"Consider the photograph of hand. dic- aphone trumpet in the other. a tel- epone nearby. These are not in- strumente of power; they exist for their own sake. It is as though Napoleon fought battles not to win them. but solely to provide mate- rials for his army bulletins: it in not necessary to fight the battles as long as the bulletins come out." IJG-OF-WAR SEEN

Driberg's book was late in ap- pearing. , 5 ” because of the subject's strenuous objections to what he calls I "hostile" biog-

ulate upon the y-e-publication tug- of-war that almost certainly took place between Beaverbrook and Driberg. The author, incidentally. told a reporter he does not con- sider it I cruel book. though his attitude is seldom sycophantic. He records the famous headline 1909-"There Will Be No War"- and says Beavei-brook defended it by saying that if the prophecy proved correct. the paper would win praise. and if wrong nobody would remember.

Beaverbrook, who has said he will go on selling papers. "until the Late Night Final," may draw encouragement from the book reviews. Critics agree that what- ever his faults. some champagne quality would have been lost if the short-statured preachers son with the deeply-tanned. wrinkled face and restless manner had never come to Britain.

NEW YORK (AP) - A adual transformation ll taking ce in- side churches. L

For one thing. they're more com- fortable.

"You can see better, hear bet- ter, and whether sitting or kneel- ing. you feel better." said William DOIE. head of a firm which has been lul ishing churches for 108 years.

There also have been some steady changes in decor that have brought more similarity in the in- teriors of Roman Catholic and Protestant churches. In some re- spocts both have inclined toward tastes of the other.

Objection of Piotcstant churches

to artistic effects "is rapidly van- ishing." said Harold W. Rambuach. President of another leading church decorating firm.

SIMPLER SETTINGS

At the same time. the ritualistic churches-such as Episcopal (Ang- licnn) and Catholic-have tended toward more simple settings. For example; Catholic churches -have cut down on the profusion of stu-

titres. The revamping of interiors has been spurred by a church build g

boom which has set records

four years straight and which iii

As noted by the church decora- tors. here are some of the major

ends:

1. Kneeling beaches in Cathoic churches. once hard and abrasive. especially to rheumatic knees, now are almost always padded.

2. Pews in Protestant churches and Jewish synago es. once plain wood. now are wdely -cushioned on the nits. with reclining instead of perpendicular backs. Catholic c h u r c h e s. where congregations don't do as much sitting. haven't cushioned seats to such an extent.

3. The old shell-shaped ”' boards above the ulpits are gen- erally out. It's not use preach- ers cnn talk louder now. but be- cause amplifying systems make the boards unnecessary.

4. The modern shift is toward the simple pulpit-often a lectern on the side of the sanctuary (chancel. to many Protestants). Few churches still use the old style enclosed pulpit,l up five or six gteps above the congregation. .CARPE'l'ING INCREASES

-He said this was a contraven- tion of the 1937 treaty setting up the commission and that it is nea- essary that Canadian fishermen be permitted to go outside Vancouver island to et their share of the sockeye s on before U.S fish- ermen cut into it.

By EARL ARONSON PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (AP)- There are many more smiling faces in the Maine potatoland this season than is .

There is good reason. Potatoes are bringing nearly 32.50 a barrel at Presque Isle. Potatoes are mov- ing to market much better. Credit is somewhat easier. The quality of Maine's bountiful harvest has sel- dom been better. Merchandising improvement have increased de- mand.

Take the price. for instance. Last year at this time, spuds at this shipping centre were bringing only 50 to 60 cents a barrel. This was the lowest in modern times. And it takes an estimatgd S2 to 32.15 to raise and market a barrel of tubers. The quality a year ago was one of the poorest. due to fre- quent rain. lack of sunshine and early frost. Many spuds rotted.

Potatoes are pretty important to Maine-especially Aroostook county. which produces more than any other area of its size in the world. Last year Maine harvested 64,000,000 bushels. compared with 57,000,000 a year-topped only by poultry in this predominantly rural

state.

Edward Parkhurst, president of the Northern National Bank, said the county is pretty well set for 1956. The banker. who also raises t t . laid deposits in Aroo-

stock have increased and that's a good sign. He figures careful grad- ing of potatoes has helped a lot. Maine has a marketing d5IeeI1IeIII which keeps poor quality off the table market.

Quality. Parkhurst says, is the key and the industry at last is giving the consumer what it wants.

So far this season. more than 20.000 carloads of potatoes have been shipped. Thai is nearly 7,000 more than at the same time I year ago.

E L. Newdick, deputy state commissioner of agriculture-and the department's potato expert- says quality shipments are paying off. Maine has kept at home more small spuds and has hauled a lot to the starch factories ”where they belong."

About 13.000 carloads have been diverted to starch. That's almost three times as many as a year ago at this time.

More dealers are washing po tatoes before sending them to mar- ket. Use of plastic and mesh bags from five and 10-pound packages also are reported attracting more housewives.

To meet competition from some western states. Maine farmers are Increasing their acreage of a long russet variety. Of the 55,000 acres planted to potatoes last season, 15.- 000 were russets. There likely will be more this coming season.
