All those intending to make the trip should get their tickets early as the number is absolute- limited to 160 passengers and it will also help those in charge to have these tickets sold as soon as possible. Make up your par- ties now and get your tickets. Plans and preparations for the camp are well in hand. Several persons and organizations have already offered assistance and it is hoped to hear from others. The members of the band are looking forward to a pleasant as well as a very profitable time. The regular weekly practice will be held tomorrow at 9:30 and as only one rehearsal 0 week is being held during thc holidays it is essential that everyone turn out. If there are any new pupils intending to join the band it is suggested that they join now and take advantage of the camp and the opportunity to get in- dividual lessons. BIr. Condon will be pleased to meet any parents or new members tomorrow morn- ing st the High School. Too Severe Modern O!Fspring: "All very well saying if I don't do my les- sons I won't have 0 career. What did you do for a career'?" Ma: "Well, my dear, I met ~ your father and married him." Modern Offspring: "Gee, I think I'd sooner ha'one me les- sons." ,R B. C. SALMON I'LENTIFUI. IN 1931 THOUGH PACK FOR YEAR CUT British Columbia's output of canned salmon in 1931 was very much smaller than the 1930 pack but that condition can be blam- ed upon world-wide economic up- sets and was not attributable to any lessening in the available supply of fish. "Had market conditions war- ranted," says a statement in this connection from the Vancouver ofi'ice of the Dominion Depart- ment of Fisheries, "there is no doubt that, with the splendid O supplies of all varieties of sal- mon in practically all fishing areas, a pack could have been produced (in 1931) which would have compared very favorably with the output for the record season of 1930." So far as pack is concerned, the fact is that the canners came ~ into 1931 with a substantial carry-over on hand and with market conditions throughout the world exceedingly unsatis- factory it was inevitable that fishing and canning operations should have been greatly reduc- ed. Some comparative ligures as to plant and equipment in use in 1930 and in 1931 will indicate. he e!lect of adverse world con-litions upon the scale of opera- tions in the salmon industry last year. The number of licenses is- sued in British Columbia for sal- mon purse seines in 19SI wss less than 250, as compared with S50 or so in the year before, The issue of licences for salmon gill-net fishing was under the 6,000 mark, a decrease of more than a thousand. Only 36 can- neries were in operation as a- gainst 69 in 1930. Output in 1931 All told, the 1931 pack of can- ned salmon was a little more than 685,000 cases as compared with over 2,221,700 cases in the preceding year, but, of course, it ls to be remembered that 1930 was a record-making year so far as production of canned salmon in British Columbia is concern- ed. The great decrease in 1931 pack wss in the output of pinks and chums--two varieties of Canned salmon which were af- fected even more than some nthers by the dislocation of the market situation. The year' output, by varieties, was ss fol- lows:-- Cases Sockey'e ........................ 291,464 Springs ......................... 27,147 Cohoes (including blue- backs) .......................... 102,176 Pinks ............... 206,996 Chums .................. 66,997 Steelheads.............. 1,326 'Total ........................ 685,104 Curtailment of operations pull- ed down the canned salmon total but it also had the effect of giv- ing greater opportunity for the fish to get to the spawning grounds in satisfactory numbers and the reports from inspectors of the Department of Fisheries are to the effect that the grounds generally were well seeded dur- ing the year . The benefit from this condition should be harvest- ed in future years when the fish born of 1931 spawning are avail- able for capture as they, in their turn, make their way toward the spawning beds. H9re and there, of course, the runs to the spawning grounds were not quite as satisfactory as had been expected. On the other hand, there were other cases in which the beds seemed to be es- pecially well seeded; for instance --choosing only one or two dis- tricts at random for purposes of illustration--the heaviest run of chums for many seasons occur- red in practically all streams in the Alert Bay ares and practic- ally all of these fish passed safe- ly to the spawning regions; the seed)ng of the beds in the Comox district with spring salmon eggs was the best since 1925; the Coldstream River at the head of Saanich Inlet, showed one of the best runs of cohaes in recent years; conditions on the sockeye spawning areas in the Barclay Sound district were found to be most encouraging; in the Queen Charlottes a larger proportion of the pink runs than usual made their way to the beds. Fur seal captures by British Columbia Inllians in 1931 total- led 1,463, as compared with 2,297 in 1930. Prices were so low that there was much less in- ducement than usual for hunting fur seals, which, under the Pel- agic Sealing Treaty, may be taken by Indians only, so far as British Columbia waters are con- cerned. The small, nervous husband was having an unpleasant inter- view with the large, muscular cook, whom he was reprimand- ing on account of her numerous breakages. "Look 'ere," said she, "you can't frighten me--I'm a dread- nought, that's what I am!" "WelL" replied the other, looking at the broken china, "I would rather say--er--that you are 0 destroyer!" Patient: "The appendix is a useless part of us. We could live quite well without it." Doctor: "You could; but we doctors couldn'." A Catch Just write "Money" on a piece of paper and show it to your friend. Then ask him if he can crass out two of the letters and leave only one. He'l puzzle and puzzle how to do it, and then give it up. Then you must shnw him how simply it is done. MANY FINE RADIO BARGAINS I,OW PRICES EASY TERMS J. W. KELLY PIANO CO., LTD. THE WEST VAN NEWS WELFARE ASSOCIATION NOTES Some people find it dilficult to !ill in the Membership cards so it is perhaps best to explain more fully the purpose of the Organitxttion. When 8 great calamity falls on 8 people, the rescue party, with- out waiting to find out the why snd wherefore of the trouble, gets busy snd uses all means in its power to alleviate suffering and make things easier for those in distress. That is what has happened at the present time. A huge cyclone has struck the business world and thrown every thing into chaos, but like every other cyclone it will blow itself out. In the meantime scarcely a family has escaped its touch, but some have su!fared more than others. West Vancouver homes have felt it too, but its citizens are endeavoring to face it standing shoulder to shoulder in a spirit of co-operation until the cloud passes. Some have gardens with more fruit and vegetables than they will require for their family needs. The Associaton asks for some of the remainder which it will either distribute at once or preserve for the coming winter. Some have clothing for which they have no more use. Sewing parties meet each afternoon to repair or make over. The cloth- ing, too much worn, is cut up and used for quilts and mats. Constantly the need arises for the use of a truck, to fetch wood out of the bush, or to transport furniture or goods too heavy for 0 private car. Some have al- ready been offered, but the As- sociation does not want to call on the same good citizens too often. The convener of the Fuel Committee would be glad to have the ofFer .of 0 truck from the western end of the community, as cutting is starting at that end right away. The use of cars for lighter service is also a very real neces- sity, as those who have already loaned them will prove. Donations are coming in all the time. Sugar has been donat- ed in large and small quantities, showing approval of the jam making department. Some have preferred to send cash, others goads. Some who have nothing tangible to spare are lending equipment, others valuable time, and the benefit of lengthy ex- perience. There is room for all. Mrs. Dodd Allan is lending her home and grounds at Lorna Vista Radcliife Avenue, West Bay, for a Garden Party on Thursday, July 21st„ to help the cause a- long. Among the attractions trill be Bridge, Hindu Fortune Tell- ing, )Vhite Elephant and Home Cooking Stalls. Anyone who knows Mrs. Dodd Allan as 0 hostess will know that they may expect a most enjoyable after- noon, and will tell others. Other entertainments have been offer- ed for future times and will be referred to later. The Editor of the West Van News has very generously given space for Welfare news to the Publicity Convener, so that the public may know exactly what is happening, Some construc- tive criticism has been received by the Association and appreci- ated. It is s new organization, setting out with the best inten- tions in the world, and is bound to make the usual mistakes of infancy, but will grow out of them. A public meeting wbs called at the commencement, but was not well attended. It is hoped to ar- range another shortly, as this is a community jnb, when all interested should try to attend. "Here's something queer," said the dentist who had been drilling and drilling into a tooth. "You said that this tooth had never been filled. but I find fiak- es of gold on the point of my drilL" "I knew it I" moaned the pati- ent, "I knew it! You'e struck my back collar button."
