The carp and the dogfish, once
known as somethingsto keep from
catching, are climbing the pisca-
torial ladder to responsibility in
the United States and Canada.
AT Lansing, Iowa, the corn that
made Iowa famous is being fed to
Mississippi River carp to render
their normally flabby flesh pala-
table, while British Columbia's
fish oil industry Is entering its
fourth year of traffic in dogfish
liver extract.
The carp, long trash fish, to
sportsmen, is getting royal treat
ment at the Lansing fisheries,
whose proprietors, Jack and Cy
Enrich, let the fish live in clean,
cold, artisan spring water and
feed them Iowa shelled corn daily.
Two of the Ehrlich's artesian
ponds produced a quarter-million
pounds for the market last year.
Firm-fleshed and clean after
their corn diet and artisan baths,
the carp are shipped alive to New
York and Philadelphia markets
by special rail cars, and to middle
western cities by tank trucks.
The average fish weigh three to
five pounds; some weigh 80. A
future development at Lansing is
a brine formula for curing corn
fed carp, after which they would
besmoked, like hams, over native
hickory fires.

from Norway. 1t is also used in
live stock and poultry feeding in
Canada and the United States.
Filters have found dogfish liver
oil an important medicine for
night blindness, and Canada has
already exported $1,000 gallons
of the 100000 gallons of the stuff

BETTER RELATIONS

The quarterly report of the lnter-racial Com
mitee released last week states that here many
evidences that relations between the racial groups
in Detroit are somewhat better than they have been
in the early summer during the previous two years
The report states further: there is an indicated
decline of aggressveness of the part of both whites
and Negroes"
Although the Inter-racial Committee believes
that race relations have improved the report warns
that the cool weather this spring has done as much
to reduce incidents any other factor. The report
points out there remain in the community most of
the factors which tend to create group tensions.
Housing conditions are tight, or nearly as tight, as
they ever were, particularly for the Negro people,"
Since the Committee admits that great deal is
left to be done in eliminating the facors which cause
group tensions, we hope that it will speed up its eff
forts toward their elimination. Until the basic
factors of unrest are removed we shall be plagued
by the constant threat of incidents that hurt every
body, black and white alike. We agree that housing
is the number one problem before Detroit today and
it must be tackled ntelligently and democratcally
in the interest of the general welfare.

WHO is A FASCIST?

The widespread use of the word fascism in
America today has prompted some students to at
tempt definition of the term which would be ac-
ceptable to ALL In the July l report of the War
Writer'S Board it is disclosed that the U. s. Army
has defined the term in phampet labeled 0rienta-
ton Fact Sheet No. 81. We quote from the report
of the War Writers Board:
The pamphlet defines fascism as government
by the few, for the few and emphasizes the dangers
of fascism here in America well as elsewhere. 1t
warns that American fascists try to disguise them
selves behind the flag as 100 per cent Americans
but gives this guide to recognizing native Ameri-
fascist: "a They pit religious, racial and eco
