TALLHEO Canadian fishing company fish camp is located on North Bentinck Arm, about three miles northwest of Bella Coola. It was an operating cannery until about 1943 when the company closed it in line with its policy of centralisation. Between 50 and 70 cannery workers were employed.
BOWLING NOTES
Blame Low Scores On Strange Alleys
Northern Coho Opening Denied
Reports that a new body of coho was entering northern waters prompted a request to the fisheries department that three days' fishing be allowed in Areas 3 and 4 last week. The department refused the request, however, on the ground that remaining coho stocks were required for escapement purposes.
The request for the additional fishing time was conveyed to the fisheries department by Carl Liden, United Fishermen and Allied Workers' northern representative, after gillnetters reported a good showing of coho in Ogden Channel, Skeena River, Portland Canal and Nass River.
In a wire sent to Pacific area fisheries director W. R. Hourston from Prince Rupert on September 17, Liden said fishermen generally felt that the request for a three day fishery was justified by reports. Since relatively few boats would be fishing, he said, there would be no real danger to escapement.
Liden followed the wire with a press release stating:
"Gillnet fishermen of both the Skeena and Nass rivers have requested additional fishing time.
"Gillnetters claim a new body of coho is coming in. One gillnet-

I guess the alleys are still a bit strange as the scores have been much lower than usual and I know many of our bowlers are capable of better scores. Oh well, the season is still young and we have lots of time to improve.
Len Anderson (Chums) was high for the evening with a 660, and games of 182, 242, 236. His 242 was also high single for the men.
Erik Eriksen (Seals) was next in line, bowling three nice games of
225, 195, 211 for a 631 total.
Mary Harder (Seals) was ladies' high three, bowling a 629 total, with 208, 230, 191.
Sharon Stroud (Sharks), I am pleased to note, had three splendid games. Her 245 was high single this week, beating the men's single by three pins. Her other games of 205 and 177 gave her a good total of 627. Nice bowling, Sharon.
Enid Eriksen (Seals) had two good games of 229 and 213, but her 150 game cost lier a 600. She ended with 592, which is still good bowling.
Elaine Eckman (Starfish) had two exceptional games of 237 and
226. Too bad that first game was low. Team mate Gordie Cook also had an excellent 233 and a 198,

Greenland Sees Salmon Future
Of 25 tagged salmon recovered in Greenland waters this year, eight were of British and two of Swedish origin, according to Dr. Paul M. Hansen, Danish marine biologist.
Hansen predicts an increase in Greenland salmon fisheries over the next year, pointing out that climatic and physical conditions off the Greenland coast are ideal for salmon.

Hospital Meet Held
A delegation from the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union met Prince Rupert General Hospital administrator R. Coombs on September 28 over the alleged discrimination against a Native fisherman and his son who were burned aboard their gillnetter.
The two, Roy Adams and his son Wayne, allegedly were refused treatment at the hospital and instead sent to Miller Bay, later being sent back to Prince Rupert General.
There are contradictions in the minutes of the meeting which have been received. As a result, The Fisherman will withhold a story until further information is available.
Attending the meeting on behalf of the UFAWU were Ray Gardiner, Florence Greenwood, D. Johnston, R. Jones, R. Fisher, M. Everett, and C. Liden.
ter caught 40 bright coho in a few hours in Edye Pass on the last day. Tenders coming in from the Queen Charlotte Islands report jumpers in Ogden Channel.
CLAIMS DISPUTED
"Bad weather prevented effective fishing most of last week (during the four day opening September 13-17) in the Nass estuary. However, when the boats were able to fish, the catches indicated that a new body of fish was coming in.
"Our position is not one of trying to take fish that are required for the spawning ground. But if there is a body of fish in excess of spawning ground requirements, it should be exploited."
Liden conceded that Ron MacLeod, the department's district supervisor, did not believe there were sufficient coho to permit the additional fishery.
Refusing the request, Hourston informed Liden by wire that nothing in Area 3 and 4 catches indicated any volume of coho and all remaining stocks were required for escapement purposes.
OPENINGS, CLOSURES
This week Queen Charlotte Islands Areas 2B East and 2B West were closed to all salmon net fishing for the balance of the season as of 6 p.m. September 30.
Area 2A and Area 2B will be closed to salmon trolling at 6 p.m. this Saturday, October 3, until October 18.
In the south, Johnstone Strait Areas 12 and 13 remain closed until the two day opening scheduled for 6 p.m. Sunday, October 18, to 6 p.m. Tuesday, October 20.
Fishermen will get three days' fishing time this coming week, starting 6 p.m. Sunday, October 4, in Juan de Fuca Strait. Fraser River fishermen, however, must wait until Monday's departmental meeting to learn what, if any, fishing time they will be allowed.
