Explained
In

the
meeting.
Mr.
Lord
expressed
gratification
at
such
a
large
attendance.
It
had
become
evident
that
fishermen
must
of
necessity
combine
themselves
together
to
better
their
conditions,
the
speaker
declared.
All
classes
of
fishermen
felt
that
the
time
was
advantageous
for
them
to
do
something
to
help
themselves.
He
told
of
how
the
association
had
come
Into
being.
In
November
a
co-operative
committee
had
been
formed.
This
committee
had
come
to
the
conclusion
that
It
would
be
advantageous
to
form
an
association
so
steps
had
been
taken
to
Incorporate.
The
government
had
expressed
Itself
as
being
willing
to
give
the
fishermen
the
chance
to
process
their
own
fish.
Now
It
was
up
to
the
fishermen
present
to
decide
whether
or
not
they
would
endorse
what
had
been
done.
Under
the
Incorporation,
the
range
ot
activities
of
the
association
had
been
made
as
wide
as
pos
sible,
said
Mr.
Lord
In

to

proposed
alms
and
objects.
The
