Jobless
slashed
one third

Beginning of the hali-

but season has slashed the
number of unemployed in
the Prince Rupert area by
more than one third in one
nionth, Gordon Simpson,
manager of the local

branch of the National
Employment Service, re-

ported today.

Unplaced applicants totalled
1,587 on May 31, a drop of 985
since the end of April. About one
third of the applicants reside in
the city.

“Work on halibut boats and
resultant activity in the fish
Plants were the main factors in
cutting the number of jobless,”
Mr. Simpson said.

“A further substantial de-
crease should be noticeable to-
wards the end of June when
salmon fishing gets into full
swing,” he said,

‘Despite the sudden drop, job-
less this year outnumber ‘Jast
year’s at this time by 596. Mr.
Simpson attributed this to ‘re-
luctancy of saw mill operators
in the interior to start opera-
tions while negotiations between:
operators and the International
“Woodworkers of America are still
unsettled.

Current jobless listings show
1,252 male and:335 ‘female ap-
plicants, as compared to 765
male and 226 female applica-
tions last year.

In the city, there are approxi-
mately 415 men out of work, Mr.
Simpson sald. said.

CHAMBER’ TOLD

 

mittee,

Noting that halibut landings
at Prince Rupert were down
from last year and that catches
were still far away from quotas,
Mr. Christensen said that while
halibut and crab fishing had
“been good" other fishing had
been curtailed by poor weather
and high water.

He sald that between four to
six beam trawiers from this city
had experienced fair to good
fishing and that on Tuesday one
vessel landed a total of 61,000
flatfish, made up of 55,000 rock
sole and 6,000 grey cod.

The chamber was told that
the grey cod was almost super-
fluous as “we cannot handle
the grey cod atid the halibut.”

GOOD CRAB FISITING

Mr. Christensen reported that
three boats from Masset and
four from Nelson Bros. Fisheries
had enjoyed very good crab fish-
Ing over the past two to three
weeks. He sud that one boat hie
brought in about 17,000 crabs to
Port Wdward.

Trolling, Mr. Christensen sata,
was “a lithe slow’ due to the
bad woathor but was expected
to “pick up.”

GHllnet fishing for satmon on
the Skeona River was oxtremely
poor due to the igh water and
tha fact that there were not
many fish up there,
