Newfoundland Acts Target Export of Cured Fish Industry
The Newfoundland legislature closed its session with measures to control cured codfish exports.

The moves aim to improve fish quality, safe transport, and reduce price slumps abroad. Also, the YMCA plans a two day Waterloo conference in September to review programs and plan for local and county work with leaders from Iowa State Teachers College Cedar Falls.
