Setting 0i Lobster Gear _ln Full-Swing

While proqaects for lobsters ap- peared good in Sourlg and vicin. ity, reports yesterday from Tig- nish and Alberton ‘were not so encouraging. All fishermen agreed however. that the traps already set and belted had not been in the water long enough to be fish- ing well and that it was too early to make predictions. -

The setting of lobster gear was in iuil swing yesterday all along the north shore from North Cape to Sourls. The rough weather since the opening of the season last Thursday had prevented the north shore fishermen from get- ting more than a small part of their gear out though the fisher- men on the east coast had been able to make more progress.

Bait, too, had been a serious problem but with the coming oi the herring off the west shore last week, North Cape, Tignish, and Alberton fishermen became more hopeful’ Those hopes were realized Ytsterday when Tlgnlsh and Albertcn fishermen reported the herring more plentiful. As -"et no herring have appeared off Sourls, Mr. Paul Gallant said last night, but the immediate needs of the Sourls fishermen had been looked after by the arrival from the Magdalen Islands oi a. vessel load of freshly-salted herring, Mr. Gallant said.

Present prices at Souris and immediate vicinity are said to be $8 for canners and $15 for large lobsters. It ls understood the price for large lobsters at Tig- nlsh and -Alberton is somewhat higher.

The first lobsters were scheduled to appear on the, Charlottetown n» tail markets today. It was forecast

matcly s5 cents oer pound.

The price to the fishermen ls alive at tihe boat-side. There is some loss of weight when the lob-. siers are boiled.

Police now are searching for the missing $12,000 which Hackman claims he gave to s friend for safe-keeping ‘

There are approximately one hundred and forty men stationed at the Summerside Airport at present and they are busily en- sued in re-openl-ng the buildings and getting them ready to be occupied. Considerable work has to be done in most cases as the billldlflls have not been occupied for eighteen months and they were only of temporary construction in the first place.

Sweden On

OITAWA, May il-tspeclall- In the House of Commons today. Fisheries Minister Bridges con- firmed the report as published i-n The Guardian on Saturday tliat the Government of Sweden has placed Canadian canned lobster under export control. Effect of this control which involves a cum- bersome system of import lic- enses which must be secured in advance, is regarded by Prince Edward Island members of the House as a certain deterrent to oversees canned lobster shipments.

Mr. Bridges statements reads as follows:

"On Friday last the honorable member for Queen's (Mr. McLurel asked whether the Government of Sweden had imposed an import licensing system against our can- ned lobsten I am informed after conversations with the Swedish Legation that a temporary import. license procedure has been 1m- posed in Sweden.

“The present shortage of Ur.- ited States and ‘Canadian dollars permits them to import only essen- tial goods. Canadian canned lob- ster is in good demand in Swed- en, however. and if conditions improve sufficiently, imports of canned lobster may be permitted
