Plan 500 More Jobs

GLACE BAY. N. 8.. (GP)-A new corporation will be-iormed to guide a 3250.000 govemment-supported fisheries program-which its back- ers say will provide 500 more Jobs on the Glace Bay wateriront.

The details were released Wed- nesdey by Leo Maclntyre, chair- man of the fisheries development committee, and Joseph King. sec- retary oi the industrial develop- ment board, two local booster or- ganizations. .

The undertaking calis' for the construction oi six draggers which would increase annual fish land- ings here by about 6.000.000 pounds. The 60-ioot vessels would have capacities of 4'! tons each and be able to function either as drag- gers or longliners. iishing craft that plumb deepses. areas with lines.

WILL OWN BOATS

Mr. Msclntyre said one ad- vantage of the plan is that it will enable competent iishermen to own and operate their own boats.

The first dragger captains will be carefully selected by the cor- poration which will then stake each to a down payment on the 340,000 vessels.

The captains will apply for read- iiy available iederal subsidies of 3165 a ton and long-term loans from the Nova Scotia governmeni's fishermen's loan board. Both sub- sides and loans are made available to anyone who provides a minimum cash investment and meets the general requirements.
