Reduction In staffs and a temporary shutdown ,ot plants was toeing considered by the firms. An $3,000,000 government order lor Europe, said to be contemplated, would stabilize Inshore fishing; but would have little effect on the deep sea fishery. Fresh fish sales have decreased more than 50 per cent in the last fix months, the spokesmen said. Tlie position of west coast fish companies U somewhat dlferenft to that of the east coast operators, local fishery men say. West coast fish Is more dependent on export sales, especially to the United States, than is the fish caught on the east coast- The restrictions placed by the International Fisheries Commission on halibut tends to act as a safeguard against a market ?lut, and so far. there Is no Indication of supply exceeding demand. Local fish company operators concede that there is likelihood of a lowering of fish pr!ccs, but say the chance f a "depression" n the market Is slim. Both west coast halibut and falmon have good markets In the United States and Canada, and in the case of salmon, the over seas, trade has been established for'many years and Is'a stable marketing factor. EXPECT LARGE BUTTER EXPORTS M.P. Solves His Hqusing Problem OTTAWA Harry Archibald, M.P. for 8keena, says that so far as he is concerned the housing problem Is solved. He has obtained from the parks branch at Ottawa blue prints of log cabins built for game wardens in the parks and intends to build a house of cedar logs, using pegs Instead of nails which are scarce.

ALARMED AT DRUG CRAZE CAPE TOWN R Drug?lsts arc concerned about a crowing habit; particularly among women who -are buying sleep-inducing drugs. They agree with the Transvaal druggists that the government should tighten up the laws concerning thr sale of drugs. "Cape Town must be full of "Insomanlacs," Judging from the number of people who come to me and tell me how they dread the nights because they cannot sleep." a druggist said recently With some people It apparently has become a habit, and the drug apart from having a physical effect, has a psychological result. Tlie present law permits the selling of drugs only if the customer produces a proscription from a doctor, but this does not limit the amount. The drugs are sought more by the wealthier people, and certainly not all 'by non-Europeans, who, if they feel the urge for drugs, obtain them Illegally pretty easily.
