WITH the opening of fishing after the three week strike, a large number of boats concentrated in the Gulf and Fraser River area.
This is the natural thing to do because of the runs of fish that tome to the Fraser. Sockeye in the middle coast areas have reached the spawning grounds.
Quite a number of northern fishermen made their stop at Steveston, and were strictly night fishermen. They would go out into the Gulf, fish all night and return to the river to anchor during the day. A number of these boats anchored right across from the Gulf of Georgia Cannery just inside the breakwater and tried — and I repeat, tried — to get some sleep.
There were groups of boats, as many as four tied together. As the traffic moved up or down the River at full speed, these boats would bounce up and down and you would wonder how anybody could get any sleep. Yet the purpose of that breakwater is to protect the boats. It is a haven where one can supposedly tie his boat and not worry about the weather. But the big worry is speeding inside the basin. ★ ★ ★
I COULD NAME FISHERMEN and collectors who are the biggest offenders. This I will not do, I'll just keep hammering at the public works department. Perhaps they will see fit to put a large sign at the entrance to the basin with a speed limit to apply to all craft, whether powered by an outboard or a 500 horsepower engine.
If a large harbor like Burrard Inlet can have a speed limit, then it's high time the little narrow strip of water we have in front of Steveston had a speed limit too.
I would like to hear visiting fishermen compliment us on having a safe harbor, where one could have a good sleep, and. cook a meal in comfort. So far, however, all one hears is that it's a good harbor all right, but there sure are lots of speeding maniacs tearing up and down the channel.
So go slow, you have arrived!

Mitchell Island Man
Harvey Greenland of Mitchell Island made his last set on the night of August 7-8. In the early morning of August 8 a collector saw his gillnetter Laila, with the net still out, in the Gulf of Georgia about five miles from the mouth of the Fraser River.
Going alongside he found the 70 year old fisherman dead in the cabin, apparently the victim of a heart attack.
Born in HangS, Finland in 1893, Harvey Allan Greenland was brought to this country as an infant by his parents. The family settled in Saskatchewan, moving to British Columbia 16 years later.
The family's first home in this province was in New Westminster and there Harvey Greenland entered the fishing industry as a rowboat fisherman on the North Arm of the Fraser River.
After two years the family moved to the Byrne Road area of South Burnaby and he started going upcoast to Rivers Inlet to fish. This year, 51 years later, he made his annual trip as usual, tying up with the rest of the gillnet fleet when fishermen voted to strike.
ALWAYS AT RIVERS INLET
During his more than half a century in the industry he had become a familiar figure to hundreds of his fellow fishermen and in Rivers Inlet itself he was somewhat of an institution, for he had not missed a season there since 1912.
In his first years he operated from a sail boat, which was towed upcoast every spring, fishing during the season and working in logging camps at Pitt Lake and elsewhere in the winter.
After the First World War he had saved enough to buy his own gillnetter, the first of several boats he owned before he acquired the Laila, named for his surviving daughter.
In 1928 he married Selma Liimat-ta, who had emigrated from Finland a year earlier, and they established the present home on Mitchell Island.
Harvey Greenland joined the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union in 1955 and was a member of its Vancouver Fishermen's Local. His wife was also a member of the Steveston Shore-workers Local in 1958.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Sylvia Latimer in North Surrey. A second daughter, Mrs. Helen Kyle, died at Squamish in March this year.
He also leaves five grandchildren: one brother, Oscar, at Pitt Lake; and two sisters, Mrs. Alin Christianson, Richmond, and Mrs. Martha Wiekman. Burnaby.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. N. J. Benrose. were held August 10 from Richmond Funeral Home, followed by cremation.

There will be no relaxation in layup rules as a result of the recent strike in spite of a recommendation from the halibut section of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union that would have allowed the halibut fleet to make a quick turnaround.
Opposition came first from the Fishing Vessel Owners' Association of BC through secretary Timothy Cameron, who said the Prince Rupert Vessel Owners' were also opposed.
Since Cameron wrote the Union on August 8, a letter has been addressed to "all halibut organisations" by Clarence Nordahl, secretary of the Seattle Deep Sea Fishermen's Union who is also chairman of the Pacific Coast Halibut Layup Conference in which he reported opposition to the proposal.
Based on a suggestion from its Prince Rupert Local, the UFAWU wrote the Vessel Owners' Association of BC on August 7 suggesting that a break be given BC vessels tied up during the salmon strike.
Specifically, the Union proposed that "Any Canadian vessel tied up beyond the regular layup under the Layup Conference rules between July 13 to August 1 inclusive, as a result of the strike of salmon net fishermen and shore-workers in BC, shall be entitled on completion of the first trip after the end of the strike to an adjustment of layup period to a maximum of eight days for extra layup days served due to the strike."
Cameron wrote on August 8 that "Our Association is not in favor of any change in the 1963 layup rules which seem to us, partly as a result of your excellent police work, to have worked very well. . ."
The Vessel Owners' secretary said he had spoken to the Prince Rupert Vessel Owners' Association "and it appeared they were not in favor of your Prince Rupert Local's recommendation either. To sum up, the general position seems to be that the Canadian halibut fleet was not lawfully tied up and accordingly should not be able to benefit from a reduced layup time."

In his letter of August 8, Halibut Layup Conference chairman Clarence Nordahl said that "After consulting with the Fishing Vessel Owners' Association in Seattle and members available from my own organisation, the Seattle halibut organisations are opposed to any relaxation of the layup rules.
"We turn down numerous requests each year for credits and feel that relaxation of the rules because boats were tied up by strike action would tend to break down the entire layup program."
