Abstract

The article offers information on the Fishermen's Protective Union (FPU) that was established by William Coaker in November 1908. It discusses the weekly "Plaindealer" newspaper which serves an important forum on spreading the FPU's message that influenced the voters to switch from the Liberal Party to the People's Party in Saint John's, Newfoundland in May 1909. It adds that the newspaper was in financial difficulty due to the restriction of political elite on Coaker's use of the newspaper.

Abstract

In DSA's experience firm support from the top, staff skill, determination, education, and experience have been the keynotes for success in developing this system. It operates effectively now and will continue to be refined and improved. It provides for considerable precision and uniformity in determination of resources requirements, in terms of manpower, personnel costs, and total costs. It is a coordinated approach to management of resources so that the field commanders, as well as HQ DSA review authorities, know how the requirements are developed, how the resources are programmed through the budget process, and how resources are applied. The productivity measurements it provides are basic considerations in the evaluation of performance by field activities, in major functional areas, or total DSA. It has the versatility of providing information that by cor- relation techniques can be projected for future planning. Additionally, it provides a solid basis for resources justification to higher authority. In the event less than 100 per cent of requirements are made available, it facilitates distribution of available resources with least impact on the more essential DSA missions.
