New Westminster — The new
$850,000 fish ladders at He
» the Fraser. River promise to pay
ig dividends in sockeye salmon for
ishermen.

Lloyd A. Royal, director -of the
Mernational Pacific Salmon Fish-
vies Commission. reports the Can-
dian catch of sockeye from June 30
o July 8 this year amounted to
9,000 while the American catch
vas 50,000 in the same period.

He said the early run at Hell’s
ate was from the spawn of some
2,000 salmon counted in 1948.
‘resent Canadian catch is about
10,000 daily.

“So far this catch has amounted
9,120,000 salmon,” said Mr. Royal.
.This means to date there has been
return of 10 salmon to. one, and
his is due to fish ladder installation
t Hell's Gate.”

from an estimated 4,000,000 in 1913
to a few hundred in low water level
years. The near extermination of the
Hell's Gate run cost the British Col-
umbia fishing industry hundreds of
millions of dollars, it was estimated.
Mr. Royal said that although this
year’s initial run is not yet of im-
mense economic value to the indus-
try, it is a gratifying result and
proves the value of fish ladders.
“The early harvest is no indication
of what the main run will be, due
to hit the Fraser any time after July
20." -he said. “The 1952 catch is ex-
pected to be a bumper one.”

A cousin gave me a slip off a fern
that had attained tremendous
growth in her living-room. In fact
it was so large she offered to give me
the whole plant. She never did find
a taker and subsequently bad to
move the giant into the basement.
But my little slip grew for a time,
then faltered and died.

Another friend boasted a rubber
tree in her living room, sturdy en-

How do
you read
character?

Whether or not you believe in any system of “character analysis”,
you can always tell something about the character of a man
simply from the fact that he owns life insurance,

This fact alone tells you, for instance, that he is a good pro-
vider. Kor here is proof that he feels genuine concern for the
future welfare of his family—a concern that usually reflects a
considerate nature. .

It’s pretty reliable evidence, too, that he is thrifty, fore-
sighted, realistic—and a good credit risk,

To his employer, his ownership of life insurance suggests
readiness to assume responsibility—an attitude that will carry
him toward success in any job. .

And, if he is using his life insurance to build income for his
later years, you can be quite sure that he’s the self-reliant type.
No relatives or public welfare organization will ever have to
support him!

All in all, you'll find that most of the solid citizens in any
community own life insurance!

~ AT YOUR SERVICE! A trained life underwriter, repre-

senting one of the more than 50 Canadian, British and

United States life insurance companies in Canada, will

gladly help you plan for your family’s security and
your own needs in later years. Rely on him!
