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.” “'The laddeys were installed in 1945 Mowing blocking of the Fraser tiyer at Heli’s Gate in 1931 caused by railway blasting.

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.” Finished in Sma.

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!
