C., the American lobster (Homarus americanus) is at its best off the coast of Maine, grows larger than its cousins down South. This advantage, upon which Maine's lobster industry was built, last week threatened to ruin it. Lobstermen setting their traps for the new season with halibut, herring and codfish heads anxiously questioned one another for news from Washington, where Maine's Congressmen Wallace Humphrey White Jr. and John Edward Nelson...

This year the 25,000 inhabitants along the Labrador coast under the jurisdiction of the mission have suffered the worst winter since 1890 when Sir Wilfred first visited needy Eskimos and Indians along the coast in his little 60-foot schooner. In this first year, working with only a few assistants, Grenfell treated over 900 cases in a single summer.
