The kiddies laughed their way through two cartoons borrowed from the Vancouver Film Council and ended up with bags of treats and a gift from Santa Claus (George Smith). Each child received a card and a one dollar bill.

The 17 teenagers showed continuing development as they offered a wide range of songs. The Jewish festive song, Tzena Tzena, opened the program, sung in Jewish, both in harmony and as a round.

Mary Wilcox Hosts Auxiliary Xmas Party
By ELVA PERKES
Mary Wilcox was hostess to the WA for their meeting and Christmas party in the evening December 10. President Frances Amundsen was in charge. Others present were Sadie Garcia, Olive McEach-ern, Jeanne Amundsen, Molly Amundsen, Elise Maurstad, Sally Dobson, Maxine Hansen, Hazel Patterson, Toni Oikawa, Mickey Hilton, Ruth Janyk, Elsie Sig-mund, Joey Patterson, Mickey Beagle. Also attending was a visitor, Julie Stoessiger.
Minutes read by Elsie Sigmund and the financial statement by Mary Wilcox were both adopted.
Central City Mission acknowledged with appreciation the box of sandwiches sent in following our Friday dance.
Olive McEachern, reporting for the social committee, mentioned plans for the bake sale, also the showing of the film "The March to Aldermaston" and suggested too that a new campaign for banning ol nuclear weapons be started.
This latter idea is to be discussed further at the next meeting.
Definite plans and date of bake sale will be made known later. Jeanne Amundsen noted gifts and flowers sent to the sick. Harold Wilcox reported on the dance receipts. Sally Dobson commented on the recent Local Council meeting.
Olive, Joey and Sadie attended 11 io Central Council. It was decided that copies of dated minutes be sent to the Central Council. Suggestions made were as follows-
• That the New Westminster WA host the March convention.
• That a history of WAs and their work be compiled and put
in book form for future use.
January meeting will be held at Molly Amundsen's home January 14.
Mary served refreshments and a pleasant evening was concluded with an exchange of Christmas gifts. Baby Bradley Wilcox was present at the meeting and duly admired by all the ladies. We extend season's greetings to other Locals, the staff of The Fisherman and to the executive board of the Union.

them, you get less and less fishing time. This spreads the fish to more boats. Some will make out all right, but the biggest majority of boats won't do so good.
"As far as fishing regulations are concerned, they're not worth the paper they are written on. Whoever puts them out should forget all about them. We have been fishing from day to day, and not by the regulations that were brought out at the beginning of the season. This kind of fishing is enough to drive a man nuts. As one fisherman said: "You don't have to be nuts to be a fisherman, but it sure helps a lot!"
★ * *
This is my first effort to put down in writing what the average fisherman is thinking. This is by no means the last. There were many more comments I listened to. If I were to write everything that was said about the way fishing time is arrived at, I would be busy writing steadily for a full month. What I have tried to do is to bring readers some of the thinking among fishermen.

EDITORS NOTE: Winjo's column should provoke some comment from other sections of the fleet. Why not air your views on the subject? He has more to say himself.

moving declaration of peace by the young people of many lands, gathered at Berlin for the 1951 Youth Festival. Carol Cameron and the soprano section led in this song.
Ronny Bertram, Liz Thompson, Judy Hill, and the three Anderson sisters took solo verses in the mischievous "Tiddly-um" ("Mother dear, don't get cross, just go back some 20 years").
Feature of the program was a Canadian carol, "The Huron Carol," which was written 300 years ago by a Jesuit priest for the Algonquin Indians on the Ottawa River. It tells the Nativity story in Indian terms. The choir sang a verse in Algonquin, in French, and in English.
The choir concluded with the delightful new "Little Drummer Boy," which tells the tale of the poor boy whose present to the baby Jesus was a solo on his drum. "Come, they told me, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum . . ."
Later Ronny Bertram sang "Silent Night" and CaroL Cameron the American folksong often sung around Christmas, "Wayfaring Stranger," with Lowther at the piano. Their gifted soprano voices were well received.
The "Tree-toppers" Christmas concert December 22, at which the Fishermen's Youth Chorus was to repeat its program, has been cancelled. The choir will sing some of its songs at the first 1980 show, January 7, probably at 3484 West Broadway.
Union business agent Alex Gordon was master of ceremonies and reported that this was the thirteenth annual party arranged by the Auxiliary.
Hard working WA members who made the affair possible included Helen Seines, Enid Erik-sen, Frances Gilstead, Ellen Sol-berg, Karen Stavenes, Carrie Ironside, Margaret Gordon. Julia Rig-by, and Margaret Pallesen.
