According to that veteran fisher- man and mariner "Reddy" McDonlad, great swarms of what he calls "Giz- ard Chad," have made their appear- ance at the harbour for the first time.

NO BREAD LINES THEN When the big majority of the peo- ple of Canada still resided on farms, and that is not so :long ago either, we had no need for unemployment relief. A depressioncould come and go and while it might necessitate the tightening of belts for a few months there was no great demand for bread lines. The boys on the back conces- sions were holding the line. Often the going on the farm is tough. It is that way just now. Plenty of far- mers are close into the corner be- cause of the mortgage, taxes and low prices, but they are still providing their own meal ticket and the outlook is that a change beneficial to the far.•. mer will come earlier than to the de- pression vicitim in the city.
