Progress in this direction wss reported at the recent 1932 meeting oi'he North American Council on I"isheries Investiga- tions, which wss held at Wash- ington and wss attended by W. A. Found, Deputy Minister of the Dominion Department of Fisheries, Doctor J. P. McMur- rich, Chairman of the Biological Board of Canada, and Doctor A. G. Huntsman, of the Biologicsl Board staff, ss Canada's repre- sentatives. Newfoundland and the United States, two of the other countries which are mem- bers of the council, were also represented but no one was able to be in attendance from France, the fourth memberwountry. Next year the council will meet in Canada, probably at the Atlantic Biological Station, Saint Andrews, N.B. In the "prediction" fleld two cases of particular interest were brought to the council's atten- tion. It was reported that Doc- tor Harold Thompson, who is in charge of fisheries research for Newfoundland, harl been able to give fishermen of that Dominion accurate information as to the relative abundance of cod in cer- tain areas and as to which of two dill'erent iishing grounds would be most productive of squid. 0, E. Sette, of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, had predicted that the probable ab- undance of mackerel last year would mean a catch of approxi- mately 35,300,000 in the United States and the landings actually totalled 32,183,000 pounds. Many Investigations Reports on many different in- vestigations were made during the council's sittings -- reports on bait investigations, drift bottle work, hydrological study, plankton study, and investigs- tios into the cod,herring, mack- erel, and haddock fisheries. Doctor Huntsman told of re- search touching herring abund- ance in the Bay of Fundy dis- trict. W. C. Herrington, one of the United States investigators, told of progress being made to- ward predicting the probable abundance of haddock from year to year, and spoke also of the use of the new type of trawl- the "savings" trawl--which re- duces the capture of small im- mature, and unmarketable fis and gives them a chance to grow to commercial size. To Assist Predict)on In the course of the meeting it was decided to set up a Hydro- graphical Committee for the purpose of centralizing hydro- graphic data collected oi? the Atlantic coast of North America which must largely be the basis for fisherie predictions. No one country can effectively re- view the changing conditions in all the area influenced by the Gulf Sstream snd the Arctic currents, and sll countries should benefit from a general pooling of the ascertained facts, and hence the decision to establish the committee. Doctor Thompson, Newfound- land, was named as chairman of ihe committee with Mr. Har- rington ss the United States member and H. B. Hachey, of the Biological Board stsif, the member representing Canada. It is expected that I'rance an)i the Ice Patrol will each desig- nate s corresponding member.

A very delightful Xmas Party was given by the pupils of the Framer Montessori School on Saturday afternoon, 24th Dec- ember, at the Legion Hall. The pupils entertained their friends snd parents with a play- let called "The Toy Revue" and with various song and dances, in a manner that spoke volumes for the care, patience and enjoy- ment of the work that character- izes the directress of the school, Mrs. Wilfred Fraser, assisted by Miss Crickmay. From the mo- ment when biother Goose took the children under her wing and led them towards the stage, most effectively decorated to show off the Xmas party with balloons, colored lights and a Xmas tree, the whole performance went with a zip and swing, children as well as grown ups thoroughly enjoying themselves. Dance ac- companiments such as no child could fail to respond to were played by Miss Margaret blc- Intyre. The silver collection was for the Brownies who gave two very charming additions to the pro- gram: the Mermaid proving par- ticularly attractive because of the sweet true notes of the Brownie ring. Clifford Tearoe and Dorothy Greenwood, pupils of Mrs. Colin 5IacLean, and Miss Jessie Davis, pupil of Miss McIntpre, must have gladdened their teachers'earts by their rendering of songs and violin solo. After holding their audience entranced for an hour and a half the children went downstairs where they in turn were en- tranced by delicious cake and cocoa and thrilled by a visit from Santa Claus who was welcomed by Mother Goose and the child- ren in a truly royal manner. Flashlight photographs were taken at the end of a happy aft- ernoon by Mr. Peek of Glen- eagles.
