Super Social Fine Start For Nanaimo Auxiliary
By CHARLIE SCHULE Secretary, Nanaimo UFAWU Local
The Nanaimo Women's Auxiliary of our UFAWU Local should be especially commended for the very successful social and dance they held on April 3 in the city of Nanaimo. Well over 150 very merry fisher
men, wives and friends were present. Mike Dosen was handing out the "cokes" in the corner of the Hall and didn't seem to mind the job at all. In fact, he seemed to be getting happier about it as the evening progressed.
We mustn't forget to say Thanks! to our volunteer orchestra. No less than two orchestras gave their talents voluntarily.
Special mention should be given Mrs. Irwin for the lovely crochet cloth she donated and which was raffled off. I'm not going to tell who won it but my wife was very happy after the draw.
There are rumors out that some i we hope.
of our W.A. members had nervous breakdowns after everything was over as this was their very first public appearance, but we have no proof of this.
Super-salesman for this event was Bill McDonald who sold 50 tickets for the social. He claims it cost him as much as he took in to sell the tickets as he was "forced" to enter a great numberS>f our local refreshment parlors to find his customers. Other W.A. Locals just keep your eyes off our Bill as there's word going around that we may need him this fall for a repeat performance at a Home Coming Social for the fishermen,
BOWLING NOTES
BILL TAKES iT EASY This is Bill Sinclair's troller "Hoo Hoo" with Bill lolling on deck, relaxing a little before heading out for another season. Bill, a Pender Harbor man and known widely for his prowess with Hie pen as well as with the Fishing line, lost last season when his boat was struck and badly damaged. Bill escaped unscathed but a lot of work has gone into putting his craft back in first class shape.
WA Council Hears Compensation Reports
By DOROTHY TAYLOR
The first executive meeting of the Women's Auxiliary Council following the recent election of officers was held Tuesday, April 6, at 2 p.m. in the Fishermen's Hall.
We weit very sorry our new President, Agnes Branter, could not attend the meeting—but our Vice President, Mary Anne Foster, was present to take the chair.
The women cesegates who went to Victoria on the Compensation campaign were Minerva Miller, Mary Burnell, Helen Van Pykstra, Verna Parkin, Mabel King, Myrtle Schule, Agnes Branter, Borghitd Hilland and Olga Lee.
Mary Burnell gave an interesting report on their interview with Mrs. Lydia Arsens. Mrs. Arsens seemed sympathetic toward the fishermen and said she would give them her full support.
From all reports, I think the delegation enjoyed the trip very much.
★ * ★ For the Women's Page we have another contest for you in which every member can and should participate. Prizes will be given for (1) The funniest true story sent to
The Fisherman; (2) The best poems from children; and (3) the funniest children's sayings. The deadline is October 6 and the winners are to be announced October 22.
So, come on girls, start on those entries—this is one contest that should be a lot of fun.
Our organisers will be kept busy with work to do at Annieville, New Westminster, Port Alberni, Sooke, Ucluelet and Westview.
If any member is specially interested in organising, any of our four organisers—Mary Burnell at Fort Langley, Verna Parkin at Prince Rupert, Olive McEachern at New Westminster, and Myrtle Schule at Nanaimo—will be very pleased to have you along and show you how it's done. Just drop them a line.
The council decided to elect delegates and alternate delegates to attend the General Executive Board Meetings and the B.C. Council of the Canadian Congress of Women's meetings. In the event that the regular delegate is un-

Season Nearing Final Stage
By BILLY DONALDSON
Just another week and our league will be completed for the season of 1953-1954. Hie players have been very considerate to each other despite the standings on -the league table which varied from time to time.
It is not often that I have been taken to task regarding the rules covering our teams insofar as the five pin association is concerned. We were very lucky in having a secretary who was fully conversant with the rules this season which made it a lot easier for the committee despite remarks that are made occasionally by persons who should know better.
It looks like the Canfisco All Stars are to head the table again although they dropped all four points to the Hy-Waves who were extremely happy about it. Martha Anderson exclaimed, throwing her arms up in the air, "We have taken all four points from the top team." *
The Challengers also dropped all points to the Leftovers and the Cloverleafs were in excellent form, taking three from the Pinheads who would have had a chance to take over the lead at the top of the league table.
Skylarks, as a new team, have done very well too, but the hard luck team of the season is the Can-
fisco Gold Seals who certainly could have done better if they had not bumped into sickness, etc.
I hardly think that there will be much change in the individual scores next Wednesday, April 21, which is the last chance for any of the players to beat any of the standing records made this season. I'll try to be there to get a first hand report of the proceedings.
We have a standing rule that no one player can receive more than 'one prize which seems fair enough especially this season as the veter-and Helen Smith and Bill Stofer are the most consistent players of this season. Will be seeing you all next week with best wishes and good luck to one and all.

AFTER the honeymoon the wife complained bitterly that her husband had fooled her. "you lied to me," she cried. "Before we were married you told me vou were well off."
"I was," he answered sadly, "but I didn't know it."
The regular monthly meeting of the Ladner Women's Auxiliary to the UFAWU was held at the home of Mrs. Annie Jensen on March 29 with 22 members attending. A letter was read from Delta May Day Committee. Mrs. Andrea Nico-lich attended the last meeting and we were again asked to help at the May 24 celebrations by setting tables for the grown-ups' dance.
It was decided to hold discussions every meeting about Union happenings.
A donation of $5 was sent to the Red Cross and also a donation of $10 to the Delta Volunteer Fire Department. This is to be a yearly donation of not less than $10.
A letter of thanks was sent to the Delta Municipal Council for gravel put on the sides of streets which adds to the protection of pedestrians so vehicles can park pff the streets.
We'd also like to give a special vote of thanks to the Vancouver Women's Auxiliary for working so hard during the convention making coffee and lunches.
Quite a number of articles were brought to the meeting for the hamper which is used by the District Nurse for the needy. More is needed. Delia Schlesinger is in charge so you may leave any article of food with her.
Grace Stevens reported on the latest developments on Fishermen's
Compensation, and Mrs. Mabel King was elected as a delegate to go to Victoria on the Compensation Lobby along with Nick Spilchen from the Union Local and Ronald Cosu-lich who was elected during the convention.
Convention reports were given and discussed. Ruth Radoslovich and Delia Schlesinger were nominated as delegates to the Women's Auxiliary Council for this year.
The next meeting will be held at the home of Pearl McCool on April 26.
