The world food shortage was easing, for in every major region of the world except the U.S. and Canada the supply of food in 1948-9 was larger than in the previous year. Fish landings in Europe in 1948 were about 700,000 metric tons greater than in 1947 and about 1.1 million metric tons above the pre-war average. Although the general food supply was still below pre-war levels in Europe and the Far East, the requirements of reconstruction created a shortage of dollars which reflected itself in declining commercial purchases of food products from the hard currency areas. The drastic curtailment of exports of Canadian canned fish to the sterling area which began in 1947, was extended to South Africa late in 1948, thereby cutting off a market which had absorbed considerable volumes of sahnon and sardines denied access to former important markets such as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. However, despite these unfavourable developments, the necessary market- ing adjustments were made possible by a strengthening of the North American markets for fishery products. Domestic consumption rose from 11.5 lbs. (edible weight basis) per person in 1947 to 12.2 lbs. in 1948, and the domestic market absorbed $48.6 million worth of all types of fishery products (including oils, etc.) as compared with $40 million worth in 1947. The United States increased its purchases by $16.5 million, enabling total exports to reach a new peak of $89.8 million. This export total surpassed the former record value of $89 million in 1946, and was well above the 1947 figure of $84 million. The increase in exports over 1947 was achieved without any substantial aid from E.C.A. financing, although it did include some relief shipments in the early months of 1948 under the post-UNRRA scheme of distribution of foods to European countries. Thus the total marketed value of 1948 production added up to 8138.5 million as compared with $125 million in 1947. This increase of over 10 per cent was partially due to the increased landings described below, and in part to a higher price structure. The wholesale price index (1935-39.100) for fishery products stood at 243 for the first quarter of the year, then declined to 230 in June, followed by a jump to 258 in the fall months, and ending the year at 264. In general, prices were 10-15 per cent higher than in the comparable seasons of 1947. 7 Production: Preliminary figures of Canadian landings in 1948 indicated a substantial increase over those of the preceding year. The total landings of the sea fisheries reached 1,285 million lbs. compared with 1,153 million lbs. in 1947. Most significant, compared with the preceding year, were the increases in the landings of herring on the Pacific Coast and of cod and haddock on the Atlantic Coast. The catch of herring in B.C. was exceptionally high in the first month of the winter fishery of 1948-49; consequently the amount caught in the calendar year 1948 reached 386 million lbs., surpassing the 1947 figure by 130 million lbs. The combined catch of cod and haddock on the Atlantic Coast, at 301.5 million lbs., was 40 million lbs. greater than in 1947. It should be noted, however, that the landings of cod and haddock in 1947 were artificially lowered by a labor dispute in the early months of the year and by restricted fishing operations due to market conditions. In 1948, the Pacific Coast witnessed the revival of a whale fishery. A total of 184 whales were captured, which was higher than in 1942 and 1943, the last two years before the whaling operations came to a halt. The tuna fisheries expanded substantially in 1948. On the other hand, the landings of salmon and halibut, although satisfactory, were substantiall y below those of the preceding year. The total catch of fish in British Columbia reached 578 million lbs. compared with 480.6 million lbs. in 1947. On the Atlantic Coast the landings in general were at a high level in 1948. However, the herring and "sardine" fisheries registered a drop from the previous year's level. The herring scarcity, especially in the fall, brought about a shortage of bait, and herring had to be procured from B.C. for bait purposes. The pack of canned sardines was also substantially below that of 1947. The total landings for the East Coast reached 707 million lbs. compared with 672.2 million in 1947. According to preliminary figures the landed value of seafish—i.e., value to fishermen—reached a record of $63.1 million. The landed value on the West Coast, at $32.2 million, surpassed that of any previous year and was $10 million dreater than in 1947. The higher price level on salmon was the main factor contributing to the increased value to fishermen in this recrion. The 1943-49 price agreements for herring also established higher prices than in the previous winter season. The East Coast fisheries were valued at $30.9 million, i.e., $5.5 million more than in 1947. due mainly to higher landings of cod, haddock and lobster and to firmer prices .-enerally. Final returns on landings and landed value of the freshwater fisheries for 1948 were not obtainable at time of writing. However, it is certain that they were at a higher level than in 19'17 when the landings were 80 million lbs. valued at $9.7 million as landed. 8 Disposition of Catch: As to the disposition of the catch, the most significant development was the drop in the production of canned fish due to changed market conditions. The production of canned herring on the Pacific Coast dropped from 1,406,000 cases in 1947 to 415,500 cases in the subsequent year. On the other hand, the production of herring meal reached the unpre,cedented figure of 29,650 tons and that of herring oil 24,480,000 lbs. On the Atlantic Coast, the pack of canned cod and related species dropped from 193,200 cases in 1947 to 95,000 cases in the following year. A total of 25,000 cases of mackerel were canned in 1948 as compared with 60,800 cases in the previous year. The pack of canned herring was also substantially reduced. Preliminary figures indicated a production of 115 million lbs. (net weightl of canned products compared with 185 million lbs. in 1947. Still, the 1948 production was well above normal market demand, the surplus being handled through the canned fish purchasing programme of the Fisheries Prices Support Board. The latter purchased about 151,000 cases of canned fish in 1948. This was intended to cushion the impact upon the industry of the loss of their special outlets during the transition from a wartime and relief demand to that of a normal market. On the East Coast the production of fresh or frozen fillets from cod and haddock was well above that of the preceding year. Preliminary figures indicated a production of 48.2 million lbs. of fillets. The output of dried salted fish also surpassed that of 1947 by about 5 million lbs. On the Pacific Coast, except for the above mentioned shift in the disposition of herring away from canning to the production of meal and oil, the disposition of fish followed approximately the saine pattern as in the preceding year. Exports: The increase in exports over 1947 came as a result of an accelerated flow of fresh and frozen, cured and miscellaneous forms such as oils and meals, which more than made up for a retardation in shipments of the canned form. Fresh and frozen fish exports (almost exclusively to the U.S.) rose from $29.5 million in 1947 to $35.3 million in 1948, due to a $2.8 inillion increase in sales of whole or dressed fish and a $3 million increase in the filleted forms.

  • Some Island Entrepreneurs
    SOME ISLAND ENTREPRENEURS David Cousins Produced with the financial assistance of the Institute's Public Policy Partnership with the Province of Prince Edward Island. Foreword This report, Some Island Entrepreneurs, is very much a work in progress. It represents a contribution toward a much neglected area of scholarship, the history of entrepreneurship in Prince Edward Island. Last year, I was invited to join the selection committee for the Prince Edward Island Hall of Fame -- as an historian advisor. Each year for the past four, this committee has selected three new inductees for the Hall of Fame. These new inductees are then announced at an annual Awards Gala, which is the major fundraising event for Junior Achievement of Prince Edward Island. As we pored over the nominations for prospective new inductees, debated the criteria, discussed the various aspects of entrepreneurship, and so on, an idea began to dawn on me. I thought of a way that the Institute of Island Studies could make a contribution to the work of the committee -- and to the field of Island scholarship generally. Why not hire a history graduate student to work with us for a summer, writing some profiles of Island entrepreneurs? We could invite some members of the Business Hall of Fame selection committee, past and present, to act as an informal advisory group, suggesting criteria for inclusion and helping to select the individuals who would be profiled. And that's what we did. The student hired was David Cousins, a young scholar from Bloomfield, PEI, entering the PhD program in History at York University in the fall of 2001.

In 1834 Government House was built with funds advanced through an issue of Treasury Notes to be repaid with monies raised for the purpose by an Assessment on Land. It cost, in the currency of the day, £3,142.17.3, and was intended to serve as a Vice-Regal residence for the Lieutenant Governors of the then British colony of Prince Edward Island. The architectural design of the house is Georgian, with echoes of the Palladian tradition, and was the work of Isaac Smith. The wooden building was constructed by the architect in association with Henry Smith and Nathan Wright, a firm of local builders. The main structure is 95 feet long by 65 feet wide with two wings at the rear of the residence measuring 28 feet long by 25 feet wide, under which was placed a full Island sandstone foundation, most of which still supports the residence. The sills are 15 inches square and the floor joists are 4 inches by 11 inches and are laid 18 inches from center to center.

  • THE GEOGRAPHY of GOVERNANCE: an Overview of Boundaries Powers and Responsibilities on Prince Edward Island
    THE GEOGRAPHY OF GOVERNANCE: An Overview of Boundaries Powers and Responsibilities on Prince Edward Island March 1999 prepared by J. A. Cousins Preface In administrative terms, Prince Edward Island has been described as "big engine, little body," because of the large amount of government that it devotes to a small, compact population of only 140,000 citizens. Behind the flippancy of that statement lies an intimidating reality: there are many, many layers to both governance and the provision of services in the province. An embarrassment of administrative units, each with its own set of boundaries, responsibilities, and powers, divide up the landscape and the populace. In many instances, these units grew up independently of one another, with little regard for the possibilities of overlap or duplication. The amount and variety of governance fuels a perception that Prince Edward Island is "over- governed." Whether or not the perception is accurate, the multiplicity of administrative units do complicate the business of governing. In the spring of 1998, the Institute of Island Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island engaged the Federation of Prince Edward Island Municipalities and the Department of Community Affairs (and Attorney General's Office) as partners in a project to map "the geography of governance" in the province. Together, we employed Andrew Cousins as a research associate. His mission was to compile a basic directory of the boundaries, powers, and responsibilities of each unit of local governance on Prince Edward Island, as well as how federal and provincial services are delivered at the local level. To provide a comparative framework, Mr.
