Besides three large ves evidence obtained by a drunkometer against a motorist charged with drunk driving is undergoing its first court test here.

It is too early yet to arrive Pt definite conclusions, says Sam Simpson, operator of Queen Charlotte Cnnners, but he hopes that in another yeir he will be able to harvest the first commercial yield of oy.'lers eve taken north of the Gulf of Georgia. In Prince Rupert to deliver several million oyster seeds to Al Faulkner, another pioneer of the potential industry, Simpson said: "If our experiments prova successful, we will be able to enter the competitive oyster market. We can grow them in the north and they appear to be of even better quality than those grown in southern water.--. The experiment should prove whether the oysters we planted will survive in larse enough numbers to make the project economicrlly feasible. "It takes between four and Hve years for the oysters to mnture here compared to three years la the south." SOLUTION lO SLACK TIME Simpson said he got the idea of the oyster beds when trying to Jind some facet of the shellfish industry which could provide employment for Massec residents during the normally slack months of January to March, which is the season of the oyster harvest. His delivery of the oyster eeds in Prince Rupert from Pendrell Sound, north of Powell River, also marks a unique sttp in B.C.'s oyster growing industry. These seeds, or spat, are the firs', successfully developed In S.C. waters. Heretofore, all seed been imported from Japan.
