EDMONTON (CPJ ~- Harry Sydora. 50. is beginning to have second thoughts about
Friday. he and his family had retircd for the night in a basement bedroom when they heard knocking on the east wall of their house.
Thinking it was a prowler. Mr. Sydora telephoned police but no source could be found for the noise.
The. next. day Mr. Sydora took the wall apart but found nothing.
Wednesday the family was again roused from sleep by more pounding. this time from the north wall. There, were three knocks. a pause then three more knocks. family moved upstairs called police.
No source for the noise was discovered. The family de- cided to vacate the basement room for quarters on the main floor.
“We're not going back down there until I find out exactly what it is." said Mr. Sydora. “It's a very strange and dis turbing situation."

MORE EFFECTIVE
The cxpcrimcnts showed that longlino vesscls are much more effective in catching these spe- cics than boats using the. tra- ditional harpoon method. the re- port st'ated.
Last September. the vessel Dorothea Rcevcs had taken 93 swordfish Wllh longlines off Syd- ney and eight with harpoons. In thc 1062 season. 32 east-coast vessels engaged in Ionglining for 1.500 fish worth more than 525% 000.
The report said longlining could extend the fishing season by six to eight. weeks. Longline gear is effective at night. unlike harpoons. The longline experi- ments are continuing.
The Vancouver station re- ported it has developed a pneu- matic method of unloading sal- mon that is much faster than the orthodox method. Air pres~ sure is used to force fish out. of special tanks and onto the cannery dock.
The s almon packer "derek todd" has been equipped with four tanks with a total capacity of 129.000 pounds. and the pneu- matic device. In early trials. the ship was unloaded so fast that cannery handlers could not keep
up.
The board also was told that. its second fisheries research vessel. the G. B. Reed. will go
'into operation on the Pacific
