HUron Expositor fishery ranks text to salmon as the most valuable of the Dominion's in- dustry. British Colembia's .salinon accounts for one-third of the value. of all Cana- dian fish production. Most of it goes into cams for export to all parts . of the world. Following seinen:1 and lobsters in .order of .importance cantle Atlantic Codtfas,h, Atlantic and Pacific herring, whitefisih from the lakes, Bay of Fundy sardines, Pacific halibut, Ati 'antic haddock, freshantater pickerel or dere, and lake trout, British Colum- bia pilchards, sunelte from the Gilif of SL Lawreziee. These constitute the "Big Twelve" in Canada's fishing in- dustry. The prosperity of the Dominion, fish-, eries is contingent upon conditions in the export market, ' as about 70 per cent. of the production is usually sold abroad. The consumption at home is relatively small. At one time, 191g, Canada's fish production was worth $60,000,000. To -day due to depressed. condi.tiOn,s in foreign markets, high tariffs and quota restriatio.ns, the value is down to S0.111,8 $35,000,000. But it is gradually rising again with the general improvement in eld trade. Fiathing, like furarapPing, is I ob- scure industry, being carried on in re- mote plaoes and far from public ob- servation. It is also widely :scattered -seasonal and ,diversified. Prince Rupert,' British -Columbia, and Lunen - burg,' Nova Scotia, are possibly the only two fair-sized municipalities in all Canada that are .positively identi- fied with fish, 'yet Vancouver and Hali- fax are important fishery headquar- ters and there are hundreds. of small towns, villages and hamlets on the sea -coasts and lake -shores of the Do- minion in which fishing is the main- stay, of the inhabitants, -One has to ravel around, the fishing centres to realize the hazard and hardship that marches with the indus- try. In no single branch of it is there a place for the weak in body or the faint of heart. It is a business that demands Strength, courage, an infin- ite-. partiegte and incorrigible optim- ism. This is no trite assertion. Fish- ing is boo work at any time and it is -a -gamble at all times. The crop is invisible until it is caught,. and no' fleher)nart arrow)) what he is going to getawben he ' sets out. Very few fishermen are employee)). Tho,s,e who do not own" their equip- ment usually work for -a share of the catch. As .a Consequence, their re- muneration varies! considerably. If market prices are high and the run of fish and the weather is favorable, -they may earn a good living. If eon - :anions are !otherwise, they may ap- preaeh the verge of destitution. A fortunate man in some fisheries will earn $5,000 in n.season, while; others may clear no more than $300 iii a year's hard -fabort-many, in recent y.ears,ending the season in debt. But such is the independent spirit •possess- ed by these toilers .of the deep that few will work for wages: They pre- fer the gamble thrat goes with the game. Climate coaditioes in most 'Canadian fisheries are severe and the waters are cold Yet it is due to sixth con ditions, particularly the coldness of the water, that the fish are eo abund- ant and of such high quality. Tropic seas do not yield great quantities of fish and preservation is difficult. Most of the .fish consumed in the hot wan.- tries .come from. the northern 'lati- tudes.' The severity of the- Canadian. winter, in one respect, perinits, the fishing , of manynorth-western lakes.

Advertisiaa campaigns by the Gov-ernment and the fish trade are being conducted at hiom-e and abroad. Fish is being made attra-ctive to the heirsewife by filleting, and by 'packing fillets and smoked fi-sib, lobster meat and other seafoods in wrappers' of 'Cellophane.' A revolution has taken place in all food industries. The buy- ing public has b-ecome discriminating in res-pect to pribe, quality, packaging and ease of preparation for the table.

But it is now catching up, and catching up quickly. Andrew mate to - be adopted as the 'patron. saint. of Scotland is a. subject of much varying conjeoture. It is said that ou the martyrdom of St. Andrew in the year 69 at Patras in Aohaia, his remains were carefully preserved as relics, but in, the year 370, Regulus, one of the Greek monks - who had them in .keeping, was warn- ed -by -a vision that the Emperor Con stantine was proposing to translate these remains to Constantinople. Reg- ulus was much troubled at the vision but has -tolled to obey it and took the remains over the sea -to the Wein, An ter a stormy voyage the vessel was at last dashed upon a rock and Reg- ulus and-nhis companions landed -upon an unknown shore. Thls inhospitable shore proved to be that of Caledonia. Here 'they were presently discovered by the Aborigiaies, whose 'leader lis. teased to their story -and gave them land ,on which to build a church for the glory of God and the -enehrincitig of the relies. This spot is new known the Port of St. Andrews. There is another tradition in which the martyrdom of St, Andrew Is said to have occurred in A.D. 987. Hun - gas, king of the Pieta, was being -at- tacked by Athelstane, the king of the West Saxons, when Athelstane, the king of the Scots, with 10,000 of ins Scottish' subjects, came to his relief, and the' two kings joined their forces -to repel the invad-er. ,_'Phe Scottish leaders, face to face with so formid- able a foe and ffinding their followers somewhat intimidated, . were passing the night in, prayer to God and., St. Andeevs, when, on the backgroural of the blue sky, there aPPeared, formed, in 'white Omuta-, the figure bf . the white cross of the martyr saint. Re- anim•ated by this 'answering sign, the „Scottish soldiers entered. the fray with enthusiastic valour and beset the English voith such ardour as to drive them in- confusion from the field leav- ing their , king, Athelstane, dead' be- hind them. Since that time, the white saltire cross upon a blue. ground; the banner. of St. Andrew, has been car- ried by the Scots. as their national ensign, e7s- ' The martyrdom aof St. Andrew took place on the 30tfht day of Novem- ber in, the year 69 at Patraa. This day is now observed as St. Andrew'a Dayin order to commemorate his death. • • The saltire was ''the distinguishing cross which the Scots, wore upon their 'aacques," both- before - and beaind, when in the eleventh and twelfth cen- turies they formed part of the Crus- aders..

At a meeting of the opun- cil of State held on February 22nd, 1648, it was ordered that the Common- wealth Flag should take the place of the Union Flag of James I. _ It was not until the year 1651 that Scotland was brought into the com- nawavrealth. The ordinance for its full union with England and Ireland was not promulgated until April 12th, 1654. In the year 1654, :when Crom- well ' became protector of the Com- monwealth, of England, Scotland 'and Ireland, he decreed that there. be a standard for the Protectorate. The flag was called the Great Union of Cromwell and consisted of a Saint George's- cross in two.' quarters, a St. Andrew's cross in oue, and an Irish harp in the other. On a shield', !in the centre, was plaoed Ids own coat - of -arms. On the death of Cromwell in 1658, the restoration, effected without struggle by General Monk, Set Char- les II an the throne and his' entry in- ta. the capital May 29, 1660, was greeted with universal- acclamation.
