Caption Was Misleading
A sub heading in a report carried by The Fuhermm m Its Christmas issue on last months annual meeting of the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission was misleading and created a false impression in the minds of some readers
The heading "l'nion Opinion" preceded ■ section covering remarks made by UFAWU president H. Steve Stavenes «ho represents Canadian seine crewmen on the Commission's advisory' committee
The heading was inappropriate since Stavenes was speaking solely in his capacity as seine crew advisory representative, and not as L'FAWV president, nor on behalf of the Cnion The Fisherman apologues to those who were misled by the heading
Comments by representatives of other sections of the industry on the Commission's advisory committee have not been made available to The F-shermjn. Mavor Peter Jcncwrin of Maple Ridge represents Canadian ([ill-net fishermen on the committee

"At the same time." Hamilton stated, "wealth y publications printed In the V S will continue enjoying privileged treatment in this country" Foreign publications such as Time and Readers Digest will continue to be subsidized at the rate of some $760.-000 annually
Dave Werlln. Canadian L'nion of Public Employees 1004. labelled the new regulations "an encroachment on freedom of speech, a threat to lines of communication among members of organizations with social consciousness.
"This is the first instance I know of where the Trudcau government insists that second class is not good enough for the working people." he said

US. Firm Will Build FPC Plant at Canso
Cardinal Proteins of New York announced recently it plans to erect a S5 million plant to manufacture fish protein concentrate at Canso, Nova Scotia. Production is expected to start within 12 months.
The announcement stated that the new FPC plant will be located next to the recently constructed Acadia Fisheries plant and will use by-products in the manufacture of protein concentrate for world markets.
In the United States, interior secretary Stewart Udall has announced the award of a contract for the first large scale U.S. government FPC demonstration plant. The plant will be built and operated by Ocean Harvesters Inc. at Grays Harbor, Washington.
Operations are scheduled to begin this year and the plant will use the solvent extraction process developed by the U.S. commercial fisheries bureau.
Udall has described fish protein concentrate as a "lifeline of the future" for the world's 1.5 billion undernourished.
