in of Offshore Salmon on Commission List
Research plans of the International North Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission were outlined last Thursday to delegates attending the Eleventh Annual Convention of the United Fishermen, and Allied Workers Union by Milton James, Executive Director of the Commision. Studies to determine the origin
of salmon stocks presently being caught by Japanese motherships operating in the North Pacific will be commenced this summer by Scientists of the three member countries of the Commission — Canada, the United States and Japan. That is considered to be the main work of the Commission at the present time.
Some 2,000 salmon will be tagged by Japanese scientists this summer but Mr. James, in reply to a question, said all the Corn-
ed that it was realistic enough to "realise the possibility of intermingling of North American and Asiatic salmon."
The object, he said, is to find a line of demarcation, East of which the Japanese would not be permitted to fish, where intermingling of stocks would be at its lowest point. At present, the demarcation line is set at 175 degrees West longitude, and the Japanese
mission expected to learn from (fleet, which last year took over
this study was a "technique of tagging high seas salmon" to be applied to future work.
The Commission Director freely admitted that many times this number would be "much more effective" but felt the amount would be "materially increased" in future years.
Quoting from the Treaty itself, which has now been in operation for eight months, Mr. James stat-
Notes From New Westminster
By MARY WILCOX
A large group from New Westminster and Sunbury motored down for the "Fishermen's Do" at Blaine last Saturday, March 26, and a very good time was had by all.
A warm welcome was given by the genial Joe Betel I i on behalf of our U.S. brothers. A hearty midnight supper and liquid refreshments were served.
Attending were: Ray and Eva Iverson, Mary and Allan Aho, Willie Salo, Sam Suzuki, Bill Heikilla, Bill Hansen and party, George Sidback and Lil, Harold and Nellie Iverson, Harold and Mary Wilcox.
LUCKY PEOPLE — Taking advantage of the sunnier climates this winter were the Ingvald Heg-gens and family, who spent several weeks at Palm Springs.
To Mexico City motored Chris Stegavig and Oscar Roman.
The Paul Stokkelands' pretty daughter Betty has commenced her nurse's trailing. No doubt the younger men around are singing, "Oh to be a patient now that Betty's there."
Proud parents now are Shig and Lil Kamachi who have a baby girl, Lorrie.
Also the Everett Thomassons
who were blessed with a daughter, Catherine, this fall, a sister for Jimmie.
Newlyweds George Iverson and his lovely Frances have taken up residence in their brand new home in Burquitlam.
Off to the Banouet and Dance!
20 million salmon, is not permitted to fish East of that border. The line at present is considered
"provisional."'
The Commission Director stressed that an open mind on the part of Commission members was as important as all the other things that can be done at the present time, and reported that those officially connected with the Commission have so far demonstrated "an eagerness to cooperate."
Fear was expressed by delegates that immature salmon were being caught by the Japanese fleet and it was agreed by the Director that no information was available on the average weight of fish caught. Only information released by the Japanese has been their total catch according to specie with no poundage details.
Some research is planned by the Commission on king crab in the Bering Sea but it does not propose to make any special study of halibut or herring at the present time.

Gardner Calls for End to Atomic Madness
"The time has come when the people must put a stop to weapons to be wiped from the the atomic madness for once and for all. We must destroy face of the earth s0 that we ma>' the bombs before they destroy us." This warning was ad- ! [lve free from }he.fear <* annl" dressed to the UFAWU Convention by Ray Gardner, chair- hllatlon man, B.C. Peace Council.
"A great world-wide campaign has been launched by the people to demand that the governments destroy the bombs and stop their manufacture so fhat we may live free from the threat of atomic annihilation," Gardner said.
In all countries, he said, the people are circulating the World Appeal Against the Preparations for Atomic War. "A thousand million people will sign this Appeal," Gardner said, "Such an overwhelming protest against atomic war can force the govern-

^yiTH the second last week in bowling finished, it is almost a certainty that the Squids and. Challengers will be in the playoffs. It is still hard to say yet, though* As for the records, this is going to be a big challenge for those who are after the trophies. There should be a big drive made this week for new records.
The foremost thought now is the playoffs. The Squids and Challengers will have to put up a hard fight to stay in the respective positions. For the first half of ! the league, the Gold Seals and last position Sockeyes came out on top.

Union Backs Fish Classes
The United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union has voiced unanimous approval of the Fisheries Short Course put on at UBC last month and is anxious to see they are held annually.
A resolution presented to the convention by delegates Ed Regnery of Skidegate and Charlie Ryall of Rupert, who also took in the fisheries school, recommends to the federal department of fisheries that "additional funds be provided for the extension of the school next year."
Delegates recorded their feelings on the matter by commending the UBC extension department and the department of fisheries for providing the course.
It was pointed out that fishermen students had obtained valuable information at the twoAveek school.
It was because many applicants had been turned down as a result of limited funds that the proposal for a larger appropriation next year was suggested.
