It was raining Vancouver style, as I came out of the Glasgow house to get in tha car and my hosts with one accord began to apologise for the "atrocious weather." They would not believe me when I said "this is exactly what it would be like if I were honw on the Pacific coast cannot start fishing when the season opens June 22 midnight, each of those fishermen is likely 'to lose the best part of his livelihood for .the year. This situation appears to have come about by lack of consideration for a minority group by the powerful United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union. But there is still time to make the move that will ward off this threat of a calamity. This move should be made NOW. The union strike deadline has been set for June 22 the day when the sockeye season begins on the Naas and Skeena. These two rivers are two of four or five biggest runs of sockeye on the Canadian .West Coast and the earliest. The mighty run up the Fraser River doesn't actually get under way until the middle of July, although the season there opens July 1. At Smith's and Rivers Inlet, heavy fishing begins about the end of the first week in July. But such is not the situation in the north. Each day the fisherman is prevented from fishing the Naas and Skeena runs after June 22, a big slice of his year's income lias headed up river, for it is the early run which is already gathering near the river mouths that migrates up the northern rivers. A week or 10 days of idleness of a northern fisherman and his chances of making any kind of a comeback are, gone. Cannot we visualize what it will mean when 1,000 people in our area will be cut off from their annual income? The effect economically will be severe enough, but the individuals themselves and FAMILY SHOE STORE LIMITED today." I thought Biddy was barelegged and said to her: "You should have stockings on on a cold day like this." She replied . she did have them on and to. CHARLiE ROBERTS' P.O.

We must also realize that when there is no fishing, canneries do not operate which means the loss of more employment to a large number of people who depend on cannery work for their livelihood. There is much to be said for both sides of the price dispute, but as both sides have agreed to at least one aspect of the price problem, we urge both operators and fishermen to get that point settled immediately. " Operators are offering last year's price on sockeye 25 cents a pound. Fishermen here agree to last year's price on sockeye, but also want last year's prices on other species of fish. It appears to us only common sense and perhaps the only move that can be made now to avert a catastrophe if the fishermen will accept the sock-fcye offer, call off the strike, and negotiate for the ' other fish prices while sockeye is being fished.

Decreasing demand for our salmon appears largely due to the price of raw fish preventing it from competing with other foodstuffs.
