On a point of order, Mr. Bell stated that at no time did he ever condemn dragger fishing. | DRAGGER LANDINGS

Mr. Acorn reported that total landings from draggers in 1957 was 9,059,933 and in | was 10,070,837 Ibs. The 1957 val- jue was $267,933 and in 1956, 304,- 271. The average landing per boat was 734,984 Ibs in 1957 com- pared to 751,5% im 1958. |

Fish prices during 1958. Mr Acorn said were up considerably over 1957. To indicate this he said the price of cod went from 2.39 cents to: 3.02 while haddock jumped from 3.97 to 4.48.

A TRIP FOR BELL

Premier Matheson suggested that Mr. Acorn invite Opposition Leader Bell on a fishing trip on one of the draggers so that Mr. Bell could become acquainted first hand with the operation.

Mr. Acorn:. “I shall be glad to arrange such a trip any time, not only for the Opposition Lead- er but for azy member of this House’’.

Mr. Bell: “I'm scared he might drown me’’.

The First Kings member dir-| ected the attention of the Minis-| ter of Fisheries to a strong odor which originates from the fish meal plant on the Souris Line Road, about two miles from the Town.

He had been told by the gen- eral manager of this plant that | equipment tp eliminate this odor was being installed: and he ex-

Father And Son Drown;.. | New Wiltshire Conneétions

CARVER, MASS. — The bodies of a Quincy father and son,

pressed the hope that this u> pleasant muisance would be done away with. | LABORER’S WAGES

Mr. Acorn said that while the over all picture of the fishing in-. dustry on the Island was bright,

jthere was one thing with which |

he was not entirely satisfied, | namely the labourer’s wages. |

He said the regular fisher-! men and the companies were | doing well and the full time Jab- ourers were doing all right but it was the part time labourer over which he gwas concerned.

He stated that these men had the rigut to strike if they ‘so chose under the Island labor act | but he hoped that some satisfac- tory adjustment could be made without resorting to this mea- sure.

PROMINENT PLACE i

Mr. Acorn stated that he was | proud of the part taken by the Town of Souris in the fishing in- dustry and declared, “My col- league’s stewardship and my own Sas been well worthwhile in

of office’. | Turning to agriculture, Acorn said he was pleased to see | that the Department would this} year be increasing its staff of trained employees. He observed that this was very necessary in view of the rapid scientific. de- velopment which is taking place in the industry. | As an_ indication of this ad-| vancement, Mr. Acorn read from an article appearing in a recent publication which showed | that through the medium of artificial -ifisemination the fer- tilized eggs of high grade cows | may be planted in a less produc-} tive animals which would bear and foster ‘the young calf.

MASS PRODUCTION

The article went on to say that | by this means, one cow could produce 100-500 calves in her lifetime and-at the same time be) kept to a full state of production, free from pregnancy periods.

The introduction of air condi- tioning in barns, the article stat- ed, made calves grow faster, made cows give more milk and hens produce twice as many eggs. “These are some of the

After several hours’ search the Plymouth police could find no trace in the area of either the Bishops or their car. They then checked with the Carver police.

Carver Police Chief Dana E. Thomas assigned Special Officer Francis Merritt to search Samp- son's Pond in the southern sec- tion of Carver. Merritt was un- able, to find any clues concern- ing the whereabouts’ of the two men in that location.

Noticing a car ‘parked fairly close to his oun residence, Or- sechowski informed Chief Thom- as by telephone.

In Weymouth Sunday Sgt. Fran- cis H. Maguire sent two cruisers to search the Whitman's Pond area for Bishop's car. | The two Carver men went over to the car, which apparently had been standing all night. Orsechow- ski then remembered that he had seen two men out on the pond at 1 o'clock Saturday = afternoon, placing fish traps on the .other side of the pond. He saw them again at 3.30 and for the last time just after sunset. The men had set out six traps and when last seen were going from one trap to another.

LUNCH KIT FOUND

Thomas and Orsechowski drove around the pond, using what is known as the Walker Entrance, la muddy winding road which leads to a little cluster of sum- imer cottages across the lake |from , Highway 44. The two men idescended to the Mills - Harte landing pier, where they found what was later identified as the lunch kit brought there by the : Bishops. a Seventy-five feet from shore was a hole in the ice about five feet in diameter. A man's cap was on the ice about 15 feet away from the hole. The traps were all in place around the southerly
