Two Events At Sointula
By AILI ANDERSON
Sointula WA has two major events in the offing, a bingo and bake sale Friday, October 26, and a spaghetti dinner November 18.
Funds raised will be used to finance the annual children's Christmas party.
Ten members attended the October 3 WA meeting, first since the summer holiday.
The list of officers, elected in part last spring and completed at this month's meeting, is headed by Mrs. Mildred Crowell, president.
Other officers are Mrs. Aileen Wooldridge, vice president; Mrs. Aili Anderson, secretary; Mrs. Bev. Johnson, treasurer; Mrs. Helen Anderson and Mrs. Ella Mackie, social committee.
The secretary will attend to press reports until a regular correspondent is available.
Union Assists Native Soccer
Squamish Indians' Football Club will get a $10 donation from the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union, approved at the last meeting of the Union's general executive board.
In his appeal for financial assistance, Clifford E. Paull, Club manager, pointed out that the Club had entered two teams in the North Vancouver Junior-Juvenile Soccer League, one team in division 5 for 12-year-olds and the other in the pee-wee division for nine-year olds.
"This is the first time we have ever entered local soccer," he noted.
Both teams play one game a week on Saturday mornings, with home grounds at Indian Park, Capilano.
Club president is Sam Lewis and secretary, Mrs. F. Rivers.
ised plans for the big dance. Our biggest problem is that we don't have enough members and this makes putting on a dance a lot of work for only a few.
Surely there are many fishermen's wives in Nanaimo who could spare one night a month to help in the work of the Union their husbands believe in and support. They might even find they enjoy it!
Christmas party plans were discussed and the secretary was instructed to book the Eagles Hall and enquire about entertainment — perhaps our accordian band this year?
Those on the sick list include Mary Carpenter and Grace Brown.
Lill Miller reported our finances were in fair shape for this time of year. Flowers had been sent to "Mom" Almas, our staunch supporter, who has not been well lately. A card will be sent to Mrs. G. Murrel in George Pearson Hospital.
The meeting adjourned with delicious refreshments, courtesy of Edith MacDonald and Eva Caltran.
Members were asked to meet at the Eagles Hall on October 20 at 1:30 p.m. Lill Miller will centralise ticket sales; please report to her at this time.
CABARET DANCE: Remember the date, October 20; remember the place, Eagles Hall; Turkey cold plate — good music — prizes. All for $2.50! Join us!

Union Helps Iron Workers
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Canadian Iron Workers Union will have free use of the Fishermen's Hall for the dance it is holding there October 26.
Responding to the Auxiliary's request for use of the hall at half the regular rental, the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' general executive board agreed last week to donate the hall.
The Auxiliary informed the board it had turned over most of its funds to the Canadian Iron Workers Union to help finance the strike at Western Reinforcing Steel Company.
The strike ended in victory for the Union after a few days when the Company conceded the strikers' major demands.

For Herring
Operators Hit Gross $38.02 Ton
Figures prepared by the Trade Union Research Bureau reveal that October 2 prices for meal and oil translated into Canadian funds brought BC operators a gross return of $38.02 per green ton of herring processed.
This was based on a meal price of $147 US per ton which worked out to $158.17 at the official exchange rate of $1,076 prevailing on that date. Oil return was at five cents Canadian per pound.
Average yield of meal per green ton of herring ove"r a 10 year period was 367 pounds of meal and 180 pounds of oil, according to the Fisheries Association.
At prices quoted, this means that a green ton of herring brought $29.02 for the meal it yielded and $9 for the oil, a total of $38.02 per green ton.
Deducting the fishermen's landed price of $10.40 per green ton of herring leaves an operators' margin of $27.62 per ton.
This compares with $27.67 at July 31 this year, $25.01 last year, $21.80 in 1960, and $20.64 in the pre-Christmas period of 1959 when the landed price was $13 per ton.
If companies were to meet current Union demands in full and pay herring fishermen $16 per ton landed, it would leave them a margin of $22.02 per ton, a greater amount than they received in 1960 and before Christmas of 1959.
Companies have been predicting meal and oil price cuts, but since they made their forecast, meal has gone up $3.50 US per ton and oil has declined by just over one third of a cent per pound (from 5.375 to a straight five cents in Canadian funds).

Bowling Notes
Tight Race for Top Spots
By MARY HARDER
The teams are staying very close together. It does seem odd, all the half points, especially with the Sockeyes taking 3V2 points this week and the Sharks only V2 point. The Seals bowled! exceptionally well in the second game, having a total of 1147, and then bowled poorly in the third game, losing it to the C o h o s. Oh well, that's bowling. We did take three points though.
Chums and Springs split points and the Bullheads took three from the Kingfish.
Bob Moore (Springs) was on top again with another 700, games of 236, 231, 277 for a total of 744. Wilf Baker (Chums) boosted hjs high single to 348, and also had games of 150 and 201 for 699. Eric Erik-
Set 1 Seals) took second place for high average by bowling 204, 259, 231 for 694. Paul Harder (Seals) bowled well with games of 159, 289, 195 for a total of 643. Len Anderson (Chums) bowled 208, 248, 184 for a 640 total. Bob West (Sock-eyes) 299, 176, 164 for 639.
Helen Huntingdon (Sharks) was ladies' high for the week with 140, 199, 278 for a 617 total and Mary Harder (Seals) had games of 231, 254, 131 for 616. George Smith (Co-hos) 258, 152, 195 for 605.
There were also many games over 200. Lil Hrycenko (Cohosh 255; Lawrence Smele (Cohos) 244, 203; Chuck Mcintosh (Bullheads) 243; Martha Anderson (Sockeyes) 233; Dot Eckman (Kingfish) 222; 219; Dal Watkins (Kingfish) 218; Marion Neufeld (Sharks 216; Mel Davies (Springs) 216, 215; Harry Hancock (Sockeyes) 213; Doris Centro (Sharks) and Pete Wence (Bullheads) each had a 212.
Anne Wence (Bullheads) 203, 211; Mona Hawken (Sockeyes) bowled 209, 200; Butch Finnick
(Kingfish) and Helen Seines (Chums) each had 203. Nice bowling everyone. Hope you are all enjoying yourselves. OCTOBER 10 HIGH SCORES
