HEARTIEST congratulations to Marie and Elmer Cordoni who
met Thursday, September 6. I was disappointed at not being able to attend by my good fisherman had brought fish home for canning, so instead of looking into the blue eyes of our charming secretary, I found myself staring into the glassy eyes of half a dozen cohoe! Nevertheless, Grace Stevens was kind enough to send me the minutes of the meeting.
On the subject of conventions it was decided that one person should be elected by the Central

Special mention should be ' made here to Homer, Alex and Carl Liden who did a wonderful job selling tickets and crests during their trip on the "Chiquita i 3." I understand they sent word back they had sold out and more books and crests were hastily: sent to them. I guess that's what, they mean by a united front.

A Word From Pat to the Girls
Hello Girls:
They say the happiest days of your life are school days and I can quite believe it especially when your kids are old enough to go to school! Here I am peacefully writing with just the baby playing on the porch and the
harassed hostesses rather nervously wondering whether we'd ever be finished in time. But those who had completed their own jobs came and helped the others, dishes were washed up and from out of chaos emerged chickens clucking around the j tables, their legs almost bending back door, which I might say, j under the weight of such deli-and I hope the ladies will forgive! cacies as crab salad> ,tuna s.alad> me, was nothing compared to our salmon salad and smoked fish, excited duckings last Saturday: oysters, corned beef, and oh! so morning when we prepared the many hundreds of taste tempt-food in readiness for the banquet; ing disheS) j couldn't name them held in honor of Mr. Ishkov, and au here.

us- again after spending the summer months with her husband Anker up coast. I hear she thoroughly enjoyed herself and I'll bet Anker enjoyed her cooking!

HEAR that Brother Oling took the matrimonial plunge this month. Congratulations to you and your pretty bride, George, and here's hoping the sea of matrimony is all plain sailing for you both.

grease proof cases for cup cakes, hold over heat for a few seconds. They'll part easily and keep their shape.

Amongs. all the activity, Olive McEachern was methodically setting tables which had been erected the evening before by a band of willing workers. Silverware was glittering on the snowy-white tablecloths and vases of flowers in all their September glory of colors were placed at intervals down the long tables which were headed by the honored guests' table.

the gamblers
They number around one hundred thousand. Independent, hardy, adventurous men they are. Their way of life demands every reserve of wit, skill and strength. They are the fishermen of Canada.
On sea or inland lake, no fisherman can ever know, until his net or line is in, what his reward will be. It is sometimes great, sometimes dishearteningly small. That is the gamble. But year after year it is taken . . . with patience, endurance, perseverance. The nation's wealth profits ... a vital food is harvested for this and other countries. They are good men, our fishermen, as good as you'll find. Good citizens. Good Canadians.
