His parents joined him there in 1912 and lived in California until two years ago when they came to Southport to visit old friends and relatives. They plan to return to that state within the next few weeks. When jobs became scarce on the west coast in 1916, Mr. Smith made his way to New York and secured em C. J.

There they' lelped clean and prepare fish for he markets and for canning. Mr. Gause was particularly im-1 iressed with the fillet process j /hich he observed. The fresh J ish are cleaned and the meat 3 cut away from the bones. The I lices of fish are wrapped in j archment paper and are shipped ] a refrigerated trucks to the mer- j hants over a wide territroy.
