of
salmon
trollers
are
on
the
contiguous
HUNDREDS
fishing
grounds
again.
The
halibut
fleet
is
on
the
move
as
the
season
opens
this
mid-week.
We
are
reminded
that,
even
as
we
contemplate
other
important
industrial
developments,
the
fishery
is
still
our
mainstay.
To
the
fishery
in
one
way
or
another
we
account
Prince
Rupert's
economic
welfare
and
a
very
substantial
prosperity
at
that.
We
can
see,
if
we
look,
a
fishery
industry
here
developed
to
a
much,
greater
degree
than
it
Was
in
the
pre-war
days.
We
see
a
'
great
expansion
in
cold
storage
capacity
and
processing
plants
arising
out
of
the
newer
and
more
efficient
methods
of
handling
fish
and
the
recovery
of
by-products.
As
another
se'ason
opens,
we
should
not
undervaluate
the
importance
of
our
fishery.
If
we
had
nothing
else
here,
the
fishery
by
itself
would
support
a
sizeable
and
prosperous
community.
CHOCOLATE
BARS
OPINION
has
been
aroused
as
far
as
th
PUBLIC
eight-cent
chocolate
bar
is
concerned.
Even
in
Prince
Rupert
it
is
to
be
observed
that
there
are
now
plenty
of
chocolate
bars
in
evidence
without
many
takers.
It
may
not
have
been
organized
here
as
it
has
in
many
other
places
throughout
the
country
but
it
would
appear
that
boycott
is
also
on
in
this
city.
The
eight-cent
bars
are
not
only
unpopular
but
they
are
unfashionable.
Unfortunately,
jt,he
retailers,
who
claim
they
get
no
share
of
the
increase
in
price,
may
to
some
extent
suffer
through
the
buyers'
strike.
However,
the
most
of
them-seem
to
be
understanding
and
are
not
unsympathetic.
When
public
opinion
becomes
aroused
to
the
point
of
action,
something
is
usually
done
about.
L
So
it
is
to
be
expected
that
something
wilj
be
i
done
about
the
eight-cent
chocolate
bar,
particularly
if
it
cannot
be
sold.

THERE

As

support

even
questioning

Nearly
4,000,000
silkworms
will
soon
be
spinning
for
Britain's
smallest
industry
at
the
Lullingstone
Castle
silk
farm
in
this
small
Kent
village.
The
farm
is
the
only
one
of
Its
kind
In

UWted

dom.
Lady
Hart
Dyke,
director.
told
me
when
I
visited
it:
"Our
annual
production
of
silk
Is
1,-
200
pounds
and
the
nemahd
f
jr
it
is
tremendous.
We
have
orders
on
our
books
which
will
keep
us
busy
for
the
next
10
years."
The
success
of
the
Lulling-
stone
silk
farm,
which
Is
being
expanded
to
set
aside
consider
able
land
for
growing
mulberry
trees,
has
encouraged
other
people
to
consider
silkworm
farming
as
a
profitable
industry.
Lady
Hart
Dyke
said:
"As
Britain
has
been
Importing
a
tremendous
amount
of
raw
silk
from
abroad
for
many
years,
it
is
obvious
that
there
is
great
scope
for
home
production.
"Though
I
started
silkworm
rearing
as
a
hobbv.
its
tooten
tlallties
were
so
attractive
that
my
farm
now
employs
!22
girls
all
the
year
round."
Lady
Hart
Dyke
founded
the
Lullingstone
Silk
Farm
Ltd.
lrv
1932
with
a
capital
of
$00,000.
Since
