The three men at once .packed up and bucked into the. easterly gale with their launch, arriving home the next evening but not before Mr. Wilson's son had passed away.

The right to catch fish bj the -weir in Saint John Harboi costs money. AnnuaL auction has determined this privilege for 1937 The practice, insofar as it con- icerns fishing beyond low-watei mark, is unique. Indignation might be a mild jterm to describe the re-action of coastal fishermen' anywhere else ,lf they were asked to pay for the j privilege of setting weirs in salt water, unless ebb tide left the I equipment on bare ground owned ,by other parties. But Saint John I weir flshermen pay as a .matter ; of course, and have paid for years I Line and drift net fishing, however, is free. ' The 1937 auction brought a tota". of $3,921 for 13 harbor lots. This included $3,101 for the prized East Sid Lot No. 8, Navy Island. 11 went to J. E. Zatzman, exporter who paid $3,302 for the same area .'ast year. This choice lot produce-by far the greatest catch of sal men, gaspsreaux, shad and smeV heading for or coming from the St.' John River. The. next highest amount paid .was-$350. Others ranged from $f to $195. One year almost $10,00C vis bid for th Navy Island lot Frscerds of the annual auctlor, nve gone to the Dominion gov-mnaent as owner of- the harboi since August 1, 1927, when the.citj sold the harbor to the Dominion for $2,135,118 following a plebiscite in April of that year, approving the sale. Previously he auction monies went to the city as harbor owners since June 18, 1785, under British, government charter incorporating the City of Saint John with inclusion of all rights "as "conservators of the harbor and river." About 100 fishermen, dealers and exporters some in weather- Deaien overans, others in business suits ana wnite collars attended the 1937 auction. Despite a general atmosphere of banter, especially concerning , $1 "raises" in cases &t the lowest and highest upset prices, $5 and $1,500. Keen rivalry prevailed at times. No lots were unsold, although two minor ones failed to ' find purchasers last year. Nevertheless the otal sum realized was $126 less than the $4,047 in 1936. listen to this - - "Order Is heaven's first law; and this confest, "Some are and must be greater than the rest." This rule applies even under a democracy. It applies universally, and so it applies to coal, too. It applies particularly to Albert & McCaffery's coal, the best available for the last twenty years and the best today. And If better coal could be got, we would have it. It gives you the most heat fnr thp least money and that's what you want! And besides giving you the most heat, It's the most economical, because it lasts! Next time you need coal, just phone 116 or 117 to Albert & Mc-Caffery and order Nanalmo-Wel-llngton for furnace and heater. For the kitchen range, ask for Egg size Balkan Mlnehead Alberta sootless.

In the manner of wayward of children who ran off to Hollywood only to realize there is some thing to be said for the home folks after all. Then, of course the Coronation is coming. Charles Laughton is busy making films In London. Merle Oberon will make a picture on the home lot. George Arllss Is back, and Clive Brook has renounced Hollywood. Madeleine Oarrol has returned. Before 1937 is over, it is a believed, virtually every other British 1 star in Hollywood will have had a fling at British pictures. These will be added to the stars who have never seriously wandered from the native firmament. Among these is Grade Fields, said to be the highest paid star in the world, and certainly one of th richest. There are Jessie Matthews Sir Cedric Hardwicke. Raymond I Massey (of Toronto), Jack JBuch-anan, Gertrude Lawrence, Evelyn Laye, Elsa Manchester. Vivien Leigh, F.fca'tian Shaw and Will Hayes, the comctllan. There are several newcomers who look good, Including Elliott Markham and Billy .Milton. Then there are the former 'continental ftars who hive more or le?s mad. England their home, some by reas-rn of poltt'cal necessity, including EH73b-th B?rgrter, Conrad Veldt and DolZy Haas. . Altogether it looks like a gocd year for British films, the more so Vtth the steady influx of Holly, wood stars of all nationalities Marlene Dietrich, for example has just finished "Knight Without Armor." They say even' Mary Pick-ford will have a try at a picture here. MRS. ZAGA OF TERRACE IS FLU VICTIM TERRACE.
