Fish To East, Beans to Boston MONTREAL, April 29. -- Actually carrying fuel by express would be pretty expensive business, but, accord- ing to Harry H. Whiteman, Montreal terminal agent, the Canadian National Railways Express, has been figurative- ly "carrying coals to Newcastle." Recently the contents of the express car attached to "The Ocean Limited" 'included many boxes of British Co- lumbia salmon, consigned to a distri- buting firm at Halifax. The Maritime City in normal times is the hub of a big fishing industry, but under stress of war conditions, a shortage arose, followed by a hurry-up call to the trade in Montreal. Another name for "coals to New- castle' would be "beans to Boston." The other day a United States Marine, on special duty from Washington, was a visitor to Mr. Whiteman's office. After disposing of his business, the Marine confided to the express agent that he would like to take some beans back with him, as he was stopping off at his home near Boston. "Beans to Boston?" queried Mr. Whiteman. "Yes, they are very hard to get in the Hub City," was the Marine's answer. The two went shopping with the result that some tins of Canadian beans were taken to Boston. SALVAGE COLLECTION (Continued from Page 1) ferred to a car on a Canadian Na- tional Railways siding.
