Victoria Local Social Brings Record Turnout
By ELGIN NEISH
VICTORIA, Dec. 19—The social committee of the Victoria local of the UFAWU has another successful social to its credit. The local's Christmas party was a very well-attended affair and a good time was had by all those taking part. The turnout taxed the capacity of the hall.
Although the weather was unusually rugged on the evening of the party, it did not seem to dampen the ardor of the members of the Victoria local, their friends, and supporters who turned out in grand style.
The bingo game was going practically to capacity during the entire evening and it was very ably handled under the guidance of Fred Smele, and E. Neish who were relieved to partake of liquid refreshments by George Greenwell.
The refreshments were very well distributed under the capable hands of Joe Grexton, Flo Norden, Tom Carrington, William Chistianson and Flo Winchester.
The raffle which was also under the direction of Joe Grexton was very well received and the
draw itself was held during a short intermission with the following winners:
First prize, T. N. MacPherson, Manager Home Oil Distributors, Victoria, one bottle Vat 69; second prize, Ethel Woods; third, George Barker; fourth, Peter Slack; fifth, A. Barnswell; sixth, C. Winchester; seventh, Mrs. A. F. Ganme; eighth, Ticket 62*. Ninth, Ticket 535; tenth, Ticket 105; eleventh, Edward Lipsett Ltd., Victoria; twelfth, Shell Oil Co., Victoria.
Honorable mention goes to Mrs. Mary Coray who was way out in front of all other contenders
in raffle ticket sales, selling seven books of tickets. It is through such unstinted effort as this that these local affairs are crowned with success.
John Reitan, president of the Sidney local, and Bill Lumley, secretary, were welcome visitors at the Social. Bill took over and supplied the music for several dances with his piano-accordion.
The entire social was under the able direction of chairwoman Ethel Woods, who ably coordinated all the activities of the social committee and thus brought the social to its ultimate

FRED KOHSE of Salmon Arm stopped here a few days ago with his big trawler, "B.C. Producer." Fred's wife and mother-in-law were with him and they were on their way home to spend Christmas. Fred is proud of his boat and has every reason to be.

New Year's Resolution-
EVERY SALE a QUALITY SALE in 1948
Start the New Year right. Resolve right now to make quality your target, today and every day, in 1948.
Quality pays dividends in the fish business. No matter to whom you sell —or whether you deal in fresh, frozen, salted, smoked or canned fish— quality is the basis oi every sale. Fail to deliver quality merchandise just once, and you've probably lost a customer for life. But every quality sale makes friends—and pays off in repeat orders and extra profits.
Let's ALL make 1948 a quality year !

(FROM 45 H.P. TO 225 H.P.) Simplicity — clean performance — lower maintenance costs longer service life.
At last, after many many years the perfect fishing boat has been designed. There is no use denying the fact that nothing short of sheer genius brought this about. Experts from many lands, and even some who have never seen land, gave their opinions on the question. None of them agreed with each other but all agreed that this latest design is perfect in every respect.
Who is the dazzling genius who designed this answer to the fisherman's prayer?
I did.
How did this come about? It is quite simple. Once I got the idea the rest was easy. All X had to do was to sit and listen to large experts and sift their findings down. Several sifters were broken in the process but out of it all came the Great Idea.
By now you will be a-twitter to learn the name of the new model.
It is known as the Not Too model. Following are the specifications:
The boat must be not too long and not too short. It must be not too wide and not too narrow. It must not be too shallow and not too deep. Its engine must be not too powerful and not too weak. It must use not too much fuel and run not too fast.
There you have the secret of the whole thing. Just what the actual measurements are nobody seems to know. Neither do I. You'll have to figure it out for yourself. But you have the basic idea. Keep everything about the boat Not Too and you'll have
FISHERMEN!
What does good water mean to you? The recent government laboratory test indicates that the water from our artesian well which supplies the Sointula oil station is entirely free from all impurities. Drop in at Sointula and All vour tank with water that is REALLY PURE.
And don't forget that your dollars go further when yon make your purchases at a "Co-op."

something nobody else ever had.
Joe Black, formerly of Powell River and one time crew member of a wartime freighter, arrived here with his boat. Oddly enough he had heard of this writer and counted his worldwide search for odd things a total loss if he missed this. Joe has a nice boat and though new to the game has made good. All our good wishes go with him, especially when he is carrying the banner of the union.
What two long liners—borrowed (?) a herring seine placed here for the convenience of fishermen desiring live bait, and failed to return it though it was taken last May. It might be considered smart by some to get away with such a net but do the others who suffer from such a paltry form of theft feel that way about it.
The marker buoy is not back on the rook yet. It will be replaced as soon as the Man in Charge of Tides gets around to arranging something suitable in daylight. Meantime keep your eye" open for the rock. Stay about fifty or sixty feet off shore of Turnagain Island and you'll coma through , safely.
Fable of the week: We had a bill collector here the other day. After looking the place over and hearing our story he gave us five dollars and left.
Year the State Theatre has been showing a series of Soviet films — Chapayev, Alexander Nevsky and others. These films* are so unlike anything that Hollywood puts out that they are always interesting if only to remind us that the cinema isn't just a medium for escapist inanities and sexy situations.
The Fishermen's Bowling League, which turns out each Tuesday at the La Salle Bowling Alley still has room for a few more regular bowlers on some of the teams which are competing. Currently I believe the "Tyees" are in the lead but the issue is still open.
When Ole Martin raffled his netman's kit, the Fishermen Publishing Society bought a few tickets on the draw. We were pleasantly surprised to hear that we held the winning ticket, and if anyone wants any nets repaired we are now well equipped to take on the job. Ole is getting around a bit now and says he feels better than for some time past.
The fishermen's social committee reports that several members have contributed books to the newly started library for the union hall. They include Victor Kobler, H. Heggelund, and one or 'wo others.
Ten Years Ago
From The Fisherman, Dec, 1937 "To Every Union Man"
Are you an active member, The kind that would be missed, Or are you just contented That your name is on the list?
Do you take an active part To help the work along Or are you satisfied to be The kind that just belong?
Do you ever go to visit
A member that is sick
Or leave the work for just a few
And talk about the "clique"?
There's quite a program scheduled That I'm sure you've heard about And we'll appreciate it if You'll come and help us out.
So come to meetings often And help with hand and heart, Don't be just a member But take an active part.
Think this over, brother. For you know right from wrong, Are you an active member Or do you just belong?
