Were out on the west coast last April aboard the whale catcher "Polar 5" and the weather is a little on the rough side. Lashed to the rail is a 600 pound barrel of lube Keep your eye on it.
A sea breaks over the ship with terrific force slapping its giant hand against the vessel's side and sending boiling water and lashing spray high over her decks.
3. 'the sea recedes but the force of her blow has set the oil barrel free from its lashings. But that kind of weather is not uncommon on the west coast and the whalers are out in a good part of it. The shots here are taken facing toward the bow of the 26-year-old Norwegian built "Polar 5,'f 119 foot (registered length) and powered with a 1200 h.p. steam engine. ,
Old-Time Halibut Man Dies
Seine Fisherman Lost En Route to Grounds
A 55-year-old salmon seine fisherman lost his life on the way to the fishing grounds Saturday night in the vicinity of Welcome Pass.
Anton (Tony) Kalovich of Vancouver disappeared from the seiner "Race Rocks'" about 8 p.m. Saturday following supper in the galley.
Reports have it that he went on deck but none of the crew saw him fall overboard. Other vessels joined the "Race Rocks" in the search for the missing fisherman who was a non-swimmer but no trace of him was' found. i
The vessel was on her way to Johnstone Straits when the accident occurred. The missing man, who joined the United Fishermen's Federal Union in 1939, signed on the "Race Rocks" at the beginning of this season. He is a paid-up Union member.
Deportation Fight Aided By Protest of Canadians
Mrs Hazel Wolf, of .Seattle, 40 years resident of the United States, has been ordered to surrender for deportation on August 26 to her native Canada on a charge of being a member of the Communist Party in 1938-1939. Prior to this, she filed a petition for suspension of deportation with the Attorney General at Washington, D.C. It is within the
power of the Attorney General to grant the suspension on the grounds that the deportation would bring extreme hardship to Mrs'. Wolf and her family.
Meanwhile, the Canadian press featured hsjr case throughout Canada. The Victoria Times ran a two-column story by Peter Murray based on a letter from the Washington Committee for Protection of Foreign Born in which it was pointed out that protests against the deportation of Mrs. Wolf addressed to U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Jr. could possibly halt the deportation. Jack Scott's column in the Vancouver Sun stated that the case "makes you wonder if Mc-Carthyism is as dead as they claim" and "is the kind of thing that makes enemies' for democracy."
The Fisherman and other weeklies carried reports of the case.
In addition to the press, many political leaders wrote to Mr. Brownell, among them M. J. Coldwell, MP, national leader of the CCF.
Mr. Coldwell said that he
found it difficult to understand

born lifelong sailor came to B.C. 50 years ago aboard the full-rigged ship "Vollora" and paid off at Fraser Mills.
He went into the halibut fishery and sailed on such still-remembered ves'sels as the "Roman" and "Kingsway." He later became a towboat skipper and cap-
i tained the deep sea tug "J. R. Morgan" and later the "Sudbury,"
, largest on the B.C. coast.
He is survived by his wife and
, three sons, Sigurd, Captain Arne, and Rolf, and a daughter, Mrs. Margaret Hoyme of Vancouver.
By-Elections Offer Big Opportunity
CCF provincial leader Bob Strachan during a visit to the Fishermen's Hall last week stressed the importance of fishermen and shoreworkers in the Burnaby and Delta ridings getting out and voting in the September 9 by-elections in those constituencies,
"Any criticism the people have of the present government," Mr. Strachan said, "should be expressed during these elections. It is important to have a strong opposition. A vote for the CCF candidates will asstire that opposition and slow down the steamroller tendencies that result from too big a majority in the Legislature."
Seeking^ election in Burnaby is trade unionist Cedric Cox while in Delta, former MLA Len Shepherd, who has many friends in the fishing industry, is in the battle.
Mr. Strachan told The Fisherman that one of the CCF's planks calls for removing tolls and a vote for CCF candidates would be an expression in favor of dropping such levies.
He added that the CCF was still very much opposed to the Combines investigation of the Union, and in favor of developing non-salmon streams for hydro, specifically the Columbia, and using other sources of power before considering any projects which might harm salmon runs.

". . . how it is possible for 'a democratic country, professing Christianity, to (so) deal with a person who has lived in the United States for 40 years." In a letter to the American Ambassador to Canada he expressed the hope that the Ambassador would take the matter up with the State Department because "I feel' that if the deportation is' proceeded with, it will undoubtedly receive publicity in this country and thus add to anti-American sentiment already, unfortunately, prevalent in some quarters."
The Hon. John H. Sturdy, assistant to the Premier of Saskatchewan, wrote to the Washington Committee, "I do*appreciate the courage and humanitarian motivation of your Committee and trust you will be successful in safeguarding the interests of Mrs. Wolf." He sent a letter to Mr. Brownell, asking that the deportation order be ■ r.ncelled.
Others in Canada who have written are MP Harold E. Winch, B.C. MLAs Arthur J. Turner and Leo T. Nimsick, I. C. Nollet, minister of agriculture of Saskatchewan and many more.
