Newfoundland Herring Pack Quotas for UNRRA Contract
Mr M B Bursey of the Newfoundland Fisheries Board outlined on Station V O N that the UNRRA contract covers 45 000 000 pounds or about 200 000 barrels of relief herring to be packed by January. The plan stems from an August 23 1945 announcement by Raymond Gushue and quota issuance to many packers to prevent overproduction.

Advisory Board Refutes Untrue Bank Statements
The Newfoundland Savings Bank Advisory Board publicly refutes Mr. Peter Cashin for alleging misstatements about the bank.
