uonnav, ocronm so, isiiz The Lobster Season

Lobster catch decreased by three-quarters of a triillion pounds or so during the "spring" scu- son in the Maritime Provinces and the Magdalen 151311115, say; the Fisheries IVrws Bulletin,‘ but, neverthclcss, the pack of canned lobster put up was nearly 1,000 cascs greater than the output m tllc C\7f'I"I‘>])()ll(llllg ‘.11 season and tutlllltcll _L{).l"'l_' cases. That is another way of Saving. 0t course, that an increased percentage of the '42 catch went into eans——6l per will. ll wmlmled with a trifle over 57 per cent in the '41 spring season.

Total catch for the season was 16,272,300 pounds, as shown by unrovisod statistics com- piled by the Dominion Deperhnerit of Fisheries, as againlt 17,oa4,6oo pounds s your lgb. Ad- verse weather conditions in some of the areas qnmblflcd with reduced manpower to pull down the landings. There arc different legal lobster fishing seasons, of course, on different parts of the Atlantic coast, the lobster-producing area of the Dominion, and the “fall" season is now in progress in l number of districts and will continue until (Jctober 5. Later on, at mid-No- vember, the season will open in still other areas but it is only in the so-called ‘Spring’ and "fall" seasons that lobster canning takes place.

Afthnugh total cannery pack showed net in- crtnsc during the '42 spring season. the crcdit for the gain belongs to the Prince Edward Is- land and New Brunswick areas where lobster- ing was in progress st that time. The New Brunswick pack, almOSt 7.700 cases, was 2,115 cases greater than a year ago and the Island pack mcrvrr-ctl by 1,300 cases. Nova Scotin produced much the largest quantity of canned lobster, but, even at that, its pack of 21,670 cases was smaller by 1,900 and more cases than the '41 spring output. The Magdalen Islam! (‘-'lf111€1'1t’S tiroduccd 4,055 cases. or about 500 fcwcr than in ‘41. A couple of hundred cases were also packed in mainland areas of Quebec but are not taken into account in the 49,666 case total given above.

Conserving Fuel

Dr. Levcrett D. Bristol, Director of Public Health of .\'<~w' York City, has issued ,1 report ou the question uf winter heating which is c-f gctierzil IZlItTCSI. l-le urges that persons who arc sensitive to cold take cold baths of short duration to develop resistance to chills. He favours the wearing of sweaters and warmer cltitlvhg m homes wixeu less fuel is being burn- ed 11ml says no luivui should result, as the body is quite capable of adjusting itself to tempera- tures at least ten degrees below that considered the standard for dwellings. He recommends a temperature of 50 degrees for lwtlrmnns at night and says that this imlccs for good health and builds up resistance to germs. Draughts in bedrooms froth open windows should be avoid- ed, where possible. Children under four years require at least 7O degrees 0f heat; persons over 6F WINS of age should have from 7o to 74 <l¢_ grccs. The greut majority of other persons, however, can comfortably endure lower tem- peratures. His rules to save fuel and keep healthy arc: Fat right, go to bed early, wear heavier clothes and get plenty of outdoor ex- ercist‘. l1 :1l><> makes for sound slccji to pull down the window shades and darken the 11mm.

The agreement to exchange ministers with China was reached in August, 1941. In due course the government of (bum acted on the agrcctncut and lI1Illl(‘(l Lui Shih Shun 21s minis- ter to Canada. I~Ie arrived and began his work last February.

So far as the record goes, the government lost sight of the Chinese lcgation from the time the agreement wtns signed until August 1, 1M2, when .\Ir. King, in answering a question in Par- liament, said that he hoped to name the min- ister very shortly. He would get at it "as soon as Parliament adjourned." 'l"\vo and a half flonths have passed since then.

With respects to Russia, the record is snmc- what bcttcr, but still the tlclny is surprising. On Feb. 5, 1042, Mr. King told Parliament that an agreement had been signed \vith Russia pro- viding for an exchange of consular FPp1'(‘S('1llfI- fives, On May 11, Mr, King said that the ap- pointment would be made "as soon as possible."

Parlia- ment adjourned on that very day but, at this writing, 76 days have passed without an an- nouncement.

It is fairly well known that the long delay in making these appointmctits has been resented by guvcr11111c11ts who feel they have l)['\_'ll slightctl

The explanation, no doubt, is that the Prime Minister is heavily over-worked and cannot find the time to attend to all the duties which devolve upon him. The remedy 111051 commonly PFUIIUSULI is ihzt: he should amend the Extermil .\ff:1irs .\ct t0 enable 1t svpnrute miui~trv to be set up. The work devolving on this ‘depart- rncut has definitely pASSCCI the point where it can be regarded as an appendage to the Primr- Bliui-tvfs office.
