FISHERMEN OFF
BANKS REAPINC
RECORD PROFITS

Boston, April 8 - Fishermen who
brave the submarine infested At
lantic are reaping q golden
harvest.
Despite strikes, manpower short
age and lack Of vessels, the dollars
come pouring In to those doughty
''old salts" who dare the fog
shrouded reaches Of the fishing
banks.
Take the famed fishing port of
Gloucester as a typical example.
Fishermen who sailed out of that
port during 1913 set IL new rec
ords. Incomes ranging from $1,000
to $1,000 for crew-memberS were
not unusual.
Cap.n Matthew s. Sears found
his new dragger Columbia really
was the gem of the ocean. It topped
all records by bringing In q total
gross catch for the year worth
$342,419. Fer the crew that meant
q years wages of Just $l6,513 per
man.
Seiner Made S17S,655
The seiner Santa Maria and her
co-SkipperS Peter Mercurio and
Peter Guarrasi did very well for
themselves. First they set the years
SEEMING record with catch worth
$178,655, and profit for each
member Of the crew of $1,000. But
1t was on two particular trips that
the seine shone.
On hAS1Vs trim m TloNv EaoA
the western extremity of Martha'S
Vineyard, the Santa Maria caught
$17,561 worth of fish worth $3.50 per
man. In a three-day trip shortly
after, the Santa Maria brought
catch into New Bedford worth
$1,000 per man.
For q while 1and-office business
was done in reddish. They brought
$40 per 100 pounds and Glouces-
termen were clearing as much as
$400 a week.
Then the OPA set a ceiling price
of $3.75 per 100 pounds and the
fishermen stopped fishing. So Sc
we're was the shortage that devel-
oped that the ceiling was raised to
$4.25.
Navy Cuts Into Fleets
Other ceilings were imposed and
most fishermen, except those in
Gloucester, went on strike because
they commended their earnings were
being reduced SO per cent. A vir-
tual fish famine developed and for
two months New Englanders looked
to the South and Far West to sup
ply their Friday tables. You see,
they'd been using fish as Substi-
tute for rationed meat.
Fleets were reduced by the Navy,
which needed hulls for the business
Of war. There was a shortage of
manila rope. U-boats sank no one
knows how many craft.
AL this, together with heavy de-
nands by the armed forces, kept
prices up. It was conditions like
these that gave each member Of a
nine-man crew aboard the dory
trawler Laura Goulart 1920 each
for o To-day trip of Georges
Banks.
Some boats have been returned
by the Navy. Low point values for
some meats have leSsened the fish
demand. Experts in the industry
now predict that this years haul
will be somewhere near the peace
time average Of 500,000,000 pounds.
There should be, they said
slight easing on the prices and
plenty Of fish for all.

Holy Thursday, also called
Mandy Thursday, was observed to-
day in Catholic and Protestant
churches throughout the city. The
day commentaries the Last Sup
per and the institution OF the Holy
Eucharist.
In the Catholic churches the
faithful received Holy Communion.
High Mass was celebrated followed
by the Procession Of the Blessed
Sacrament. The host is removed
from the main altar and placed on
the altar of the Blessed Virgin to
remain until Good Friday morning.
Only one Mass is celebrated on this
day, and as Is the custom visits are
made during the day while the Host
remains in the repository. Vigil is
kept before the altar all during the
day.
The chanting Of the Tenebrae
will take place tonight at the

DENIS ALARMED
The Democrats frankly arc
alarmed. This is evidenced by
their special drives in New York
Pennsylvania. Massachusetts, Hi
nois and Michigan.
1t is evidenced, too, by their
private concessions that Dewey
will carry Missouri and West Vir-
ginia, two border states that only
go Republican in COP landSlideS
On top Of this, the Democrats
admit they are battling tooth and
mai Ito save Oklahoma. Kentucky
and Maryland.
One predominant fact about
Nov. Z stands out. 1t is certainly
a curious election in which the
outcome appears TO be in doubt
when the Republicans seem GER
tain TO carry two border states
and have fighting chances for vic
tory in the other three. Such por-
tents usually precede a Republi-
can landslide.
On the other hand, Democrats
have real chances TO carry New
York and Pennsylvania. Such vic
tories are accompanied by Demo-
cratic landslides.
