CANADA'S STAND
"The Americans told us to go to blazes when we first asked them to withdraw their netting limits," he reported. MAGNUSON DISCOUNTED
The committee made only one amendment to the statement, deleting a reference to US Senator Warren G. Magnuson's threat to seek curbs on US imports of Canadian fishery products if Canada extended its own net fishing limits seaward.
David Gross (Liberal, Victoria) argued that inclusion of the reference to Magnuson would give the US senator's remarks "an aura of respectability they do not deserve,"
Reflecting a majority feeling that Magnuson was not expressing an official US viewpoint, committee chairman Grant Deach-man (Liberal, Vancouver-Quadra) said he felt Magnuson's threat
An Invitation To Old Timers
Vancouver Women's Auxiliary is calling on all old timers in the BC fishing industry to hold Sunday, May 29 open because the ladies are inviting them to dinner that day.
This year, in place of the Old Timers' Dinner, the Women's Auxiliary will be issuing complimentary tickets to old timers 65 and over to take part in the Annual Halibut Dinner on that date.
It will be held in the Fishermen's Hall from 5 to 7 p.m. but in order that the ladies can make their plans, they are asking old timers to contact one of their committee members for full information.
WA members to contact include Carrie Ironside, phone 255-6984; Helen Pitkanen, 299-2191; Julie Devlin, 299-3348; Mary Helgeland, 321-0765.
was made for the benefit of opinion in his home state of Washington.
Following is the text of the committee's statement as adopted: TEXT OF STATEMENT
The House of Commons standing committee on fisheries, having taken note of the meeting between Canada and the United States in Ottawa on April 4-6 regarding salmon fishing problems of common concern in the Pacific Northwest, BC and southeastern Alaska, herewith endorses the position at that meeting taken by the Canadian delegation.
We feel that, inasmuch as the United States delegation would not agree to move its southeastern Alaskan salmon net fishing limits inward in the spirit of the 1957 agreement establishing such limits, the Canadian delegation had no alternative, regrettable as it may be, but to announce that it must review its established limits with the possibility that those limits be moved seaward.
Knowing that the catching of Canadian bound salmon by United States fishermen in Alaskan waters has been a matter of grave concern to Canadians, we think that the meeting, subsequent to the Canadian announcement about the net limits, took a forward step in recommending to the respective governments that another meeting be held in Seattle beginning on May 17.
We urge the Canadian government to agree to such a recommendation and to do everything in its power to get the United States government also to agree.
We further urge the Canadian government to exert itself fully to prevent any postponement or adjournment, for this would leave no alternative but for Canada to take unilateral action. We feel it is imperative that an agreement be reached as soon as possible in order to conserve Canadian salmon and protect the interests of Canadian salmon fishermen to the full.
Yucultas Flip Vessel, Two Crewmen Saved
Delta fisherman Marvin Vestad is a happy man despite the overturning of his troller Turbulent in Yuculta Rapids May 6 and the estimated $3,000 damage to the vessel.
The cause of his pleasure is the fact that he and crewman Barry Weaver, also of Delta, managed to escape with their lives from a situation that can only be described as perilous.
He told The Fisherman this week that he hit the tide rip in the treacherous Yucultas "and it spun me over." He and Weaver managed to get out the door as the vessel rolled.
"We grabbed what we could when we hit the water," he said. They held on to the side of the vessel when she went over.
The situation was grim for a few minutes, with Ed Peniuk aboard his Lady Karen, who was travelling north with the Turbulent, laying behind and on the

off side of the stricken vessel looking for them to pop out of the water.
The tide swung the Turbulent around into Peniuk's view and he made one swing and picked them off on the first try.
The Lady Karen was unable to tow the vessel in and Joe Yar-mish aboard his Winjo brought the vessel into Stuart Landing. With the use of a tug, plus a lot of manpower and some ingenious rigging, the vessel was righted and pumped out.
She was later towed to Annie-ville Slough by Ole Vestad, Marvin's father, with the Norwester, owned by Marvin's brother Clifford.
Marvin Vestad has gillnetted with the aptly named Turbulent for seven or eight years without problem but this year he put trolling poles on the vessel and believes she was too topheavy.
He's given up the idea of halibut for this season and intends to troll on the west coast as soon as the damage, mainly to the electrical system and engine, has been repaired.
Both he and Weaver, the former a member of the North Delta Local, want to express their sincere appreciation to their rescuers and all the others who helped them in their difficulties.
He particularly wants the people of Stuart Island who took them in and fed them as well as performing other acts of kindness to know they are deeply grateful.

percent retroactive to January 1 this year and another five percent on January 1, 1967, on a basic wage rate of $2.29 an hour for laborers and $284 a month for clerk-stenographers.
Don E Crabbe, Civic Employees' nominee on the board, recommended 15 percent over two years in two increments of 7% percent, in his minority report. The Union's original demand was for a 12 percent increase.
IWA STRIKE VOTE
Two major unions whose memberships constitute the majority of some 45,000 BC workers currently involved in contract disputes, the IWA and the Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers, both moved closer to strike during the week.
The IWA is now taking its own Union strike vote, which is expected to be completed by May 25, but the expectation is that negotiations will resume later this month. The present contract expires June 15.
The Union is seeking 50 cents an hour wage increase across the board and other contract improvements. Forest Industrial Relations, representing coast employers, is demanding insertion of a clause in the new contract precluding wildcat strikes.
With negotiations between eight pulp mill operators and the Union now broken off, pulp workers face the prospect of having to resort to strike action to win their demand for a 10 percent wage increase as against the employers' four percent offer.
International Union president Joe Tonelli, in Vancouver this week to assure BC officers they have the support of the International, told a press conference this support extended to strike
if that was the only way the workers could get an equitable wage increase. STRIKERS STILL OUT
Elsewhere, office employees of Sherwin-Williams' Annacis Island paint plant are entering their tenth week on the picket line. Talks are continuing, but at Fisherman press time there was no word of settlement.
Eight Greater Vancouver glass plants remain tied up by a strike of 125 members of the Glaziers and Glassworkers Union, who struck five of the plants on April 22 and were locked out by three others.
A strike of car salesmen, members of Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, was postponed on the eve of the May 11 deadline to await the outcome of further talks.
