man, who requested that his name
not be quoted, said:
Go On Relief
"I don’t think there is a halibut

and it takes just about everything
he makes to keep his present equip
ment in anywhere like deoent re
pair.1’ ;

before the shortened season, hali
but men were a decided asset to
the community which they make
their home port. In their two
months layoff, they spent their
earnings and made repairs to their
boats. Now, with the long “va
cation,” they have become objects
Cf public welfare, they contend,
and many have had to join the
FERA rolls. . flJl:
