F ROM “'HITEBAIT TO \VHALE It is a nice point it‘ the Fisheries or the Fur Trade is the. most. an- cient. of Canadian industries. but it seems probable that the palm would have to be awarded to the former. The fur trade goes back to the days of Jacques Cartier. whose men traded for furs with the natives 0n the shores of Chaleur Bay; but on the other hand Cartier himself found the enterprising Breton and Basque fishermen already on our coasts when he made his first voy- age. and there is evidence that they frequented the Grand Bank and the fishing ground off .\ova Scotia long Nowadays the mothers of children may have complete advice on their care, clothing. food and health from either the Child Welfare Council or the child welfare department of the Federal Department of Health, under Dr. Helen MacMurphy, in addition. of course. to the individ- ual efforts of the health depart- ments of the various provinces.

It is equally important to. remember that the product; of the Canadian fisher- ies. because of the purity and cold- nesg of the water. are of unusually high quality. therefore.~ they rank among the most valuable of the world’s fisheries. We can boast, too. of variety in our fisheries. On the Atlantic fish- ing grounds we obtain cod, halibut, Canada is distinguished for the large amount of voluntary work done in aid of (liildren.

Their work in outlying districts has been invaluable and has resulted in an undoubted saving of many lives. Confederation and After-- Sixty Years of Progress CHILD \VELFARE IN CANADA The value of Canadian fisheries has enormously increased since Confederation. In 1867 the value of the catch amounted to about $5.000.- OOO; toâ€"day it. is about S50.000,000. In the old days the cod was the most valuable of our fishes; now the salmon has taken the lead, with the halibut second. the lobster 'tlfird. and the codfish fourth. Herring. Whitefish. haddock and the humble sardine follow in that order. By provinces. British Columbia ranks first in the value of her fisheries. then Nova Scotia’. with New Brunst wick third. and Ontario and Quebec about even. herring, mackerel, haddock, shad, pereau, smelts- and bass; on the acific side salmon, halibut, pil- chard, sturgeon,, oula‘chon and black cod; from our inland waters white- fish, trout, pickerel, pike, goldeye, etc. One must remember also, the matchless salmon of the Saguenay and the Maritime rivers; thé de- licious oysters of Malpequet; the The fisheries of Canada have been a fruitful source of negotiation, and sometimes of dispute between this country and the United States. The Americans had certain fishin rights in Canadian waters by the ol Reciprocity Treaty, and later under the provisions of the Treaty of Washington. Under the terms of the Halifax Award the United States had to pay to Canada 345500.000 for‘certain fishing con- cessions. At the present time Amer- ican rights are restricted to fishing around the Magdelen Islands and on certain parts of the nort shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the privileges of drying and curing their fish on certain parts 01' the s lOI‘C.
