""Forti- tude and consideration of the difficulty of others engaged in the industry, by practically all 'concerned, were never apparent .ag during: the past year," runs the officer's report jn referring to the attitude of the fishing people of hig district. "Determination to carry on in spite of obstacles, low prices, and difficult market conditions was.a very noticeable feature throughout the year." Va And the same courageous spirit that was showh by these Pacific coast peo- ple during 1932 has been characteristic of Canadian fishermen generally.
