King Haakon made trip a short
| time ago up to the Lofoten Islands
where thousands Of fishermen are at
present engaged in garnering the sea
sons catch. The yield this year is
said to be a very large one, and the
king has often expressed a desire t.
study the fishing industry at close
range. A rather pleasing feature
about it is that the king makes it a
point to become personally acquainted
with the fishermen and learn about
their work and family interests. There
are number of poor fisher folk in
Norway and last year the king made
donation to their insurance fund
amounting to 1000 crowns.

A strict and careful examination of
all imported meats, especially from
Germany and America, is at present

result of this has been that repre-
sentative of the government will be
found conducting an examination of all
imported meats at each port.

tory conclusion. 1t will be remem-
bered that large sums of money were
sent from America, England, Germany
and Denmark.
