DONATION
BY
BOAT
CREW
TO
PIONEERS'
HOME
When
the
crew
of
the
hail-but
fishing
boat

set
their
quota
this
spring
they
decided
that
If
they
exceeded
it
they
would
donate
$50
to
the
Pioneers'
Home
fund.
This
week
the
Signal
landed
a
catch
of
42,000
pounds
thus
exceeding
Its
quota
and
the
crew
sent
in
their
contribution
to
the
council's
health
and
relief
committee.
This
Is
the
first
occasion
of
a
fishing
boat's
crew
contributing
to
the
fund
in
a
body
and
their
donation
raised
the
total
to
$14,457.88,
of
which
$7,500
was
contributed
by
the
city.
The
Signal's
skipper

J.

while
the
crew

of
V.

Oi
The

Prices

Trade
Board
In
Ottawa
has
Issued
an
order

housing
regulations

the
Dominion.
The
regulations

only
to
seven
congested
areas
Montreal,
Halifax,
Tor
onto,
Ottawa,
Hull,

The
board
said
that

no

One
of
the
alms
Is
to
Insure
that
no
housing
in

shall
be
allowed
