MANY sorts of fish and sea food
are taken in Brittany waters. but by
for the leading product is the sar-
dine. Other regions both in Europe
and America produce these little
fishes - including Cardinal, which
gave them its name-but the Brit
tany sardine is considered the sar-
dine par excellence. They are not
species of dwarf fishes. but are
merely the young of the pilchard.

''Brittany's sardine industry be-

first cannery was built. This was not

"The prosperity of Brittany hinges
on the little fish and it is tickle in

practically none in the offshore

years have followed one another.

place near the shore and often the
fish are in the canneries within an
hour or SO after they are taken from

The fishermen sell by the thou

headed back for Bremen about 9:25

the machine towards Bremen and
soon the powerful flying field
