THE FISHERMAN
Friday, October 4, 1946
By UN BROWN
A Holiday may be harder than staying at work—at least that's the way it was for me. What did I do? I took the course on radio script writing given by Lister Sinclair— under the Extension Department of the University, of course! Just wanted to put to some use all those wild stories you fishermen tell me. By the way, have you heard any of Lister Sinclair's radio -
plays over CBC of a Sunday eve ning? They are real entertainment and always have a subtle social significance. The one we enjoyed most discussed the gold standard via a zany story "All About Emily"—the goose that laid the golden egg.
Rodio Writer
But let me introduce this rising Canadian writer. Lister Sinclair is a quiet young man with a beard, a graduate in science from U.B.C, with a lively wit and a phenomenal fund of information on subjects as far apart as cancer and Stravinsky He intends to stay in Canada in spite of inviting offers from across the line. Here are a few of his ideas: "The C.B.C. gives genuine liberty of expression. It does not try to make up a neutral sort of liberty like so many of the United States' networks. The CBC serves all the people, the majority and all the many minorities which exist in our country. Over 80 per cent of the CBC dramatic programs are written by Canadians. Many of our programs are just as professional and polished and some more so than those originating in the U.S. The CBC belongs to the people of Canada. It we want better programs we must see that sufficient money is made available to produce them."

QCI Fishing PoorT Spring Prices Good
Veteran fisherman C. Valley reports salmon fishing in the Queen Charlotte Islands has not been satisfactory to date. The pink run was small, fishermen's earnings are low. Chums are slow in coming with the best fishing around Jedway and Sedgwick Bay. The seining season closes September 27.
Coho trolling has been hard scratching this year. The North Island fishing was considered fair. The spring salmon run was small but record prices were realized through the coK>p. Some spring salmon sold as high as 60 cents a pound.
During August and September the weather was good in Hecate. Straits with occasional south-easterlies. Greyfish fishing was better, earnings satisfactory.

Union was having a discussion the other night on using radio to spread cooperation in our province. I think it was Mr. Baillie, of the Teachers' Credit Union, who remarked that "the only people who object to the CBC are the real low-brows and those who have an axe to grind. The low-brows aren't willing to let others listen to programs they can't enjoy, and those with an axe to grind think they could grind it louder if the CBC were out of the way."
Careers In Co-ops
The extension department right now is in its usual state of hyperactivity getting out the announcements of our evening classes held every winter at the Vancouver Normal School. Here are just a few of the subjects covered: Industrial Management, The Literature of Protest, Art Photography, Russian, Public Speaking, Careers In Co-ops, and Journalism. There are nineteen courses in all. Of course my pet is "Careers In Coops." We have lined up a list of really practical leaders who will guide discussions and allow the members of the class the greatest possible freedom for individual investigation and creative effort Students and leaders will cooperate in a truly scientific study of what the cooperative mbvement has to offer to the community and to the individual. They will consider the pros and cons of cooperative organization, operation, and future. They will study facts and learn to judge cooperatives impartially.
Here .are the topics of the course:
OCTOBER 15—"Solving Present-Day Problems"—a consideration of the best, most practical and scientific way, (op-operatSve or otherwise) of meeting our problems of housing, credit distribution, health care, etc.
Real People
OCTOBER 22 — "Co-ops Need Real People"—the extent of the movement in B.C., its problems, shortcomings, and future.
OCTOBER 29—"Jobs In Co-ops" —analysis of the opportunities, advantages and disadvantages of work in the co-op field with 'special consideration of training required.
NOVEMBER 5 — "Leadership Training"—the rights and responsibilities of members and leaders in a democratic set-up; methods of developing leadership.
Delegates Didll't  BOO* BUt  ...    ActmS m resPO"se to the specific request of their president
n°t to boo reconstruction minister Howe or labor minister Mitchell during speeches to the TIX convention, delegates to this great meeting chose other methods of expressing their displeasure with these two federal cabinet members.   They greeted them coldly, gave scant and scattered ap-
plause at the end of their talks, and while the two men were still on the platform, rose in a standing ovation to th fraternal delegate from the British Trade Union Congress when he had spoken a few words of farewell Then, was no mistaking the contrasting attitudes of delegates in this case.   Above, president Bengough, right, shakes hands with C. P.. Howe, left, while pious-appearing labor minister Mitchell stands in the background.
c ere
NOVEMBER 12—"Anatomy of the Cooperative Movement" — the structure of cooperatives and their relationships.
NOVEMBER 19 — "Legislation and Co-ops"—the effect of recent legislation on cooperative development.
NOVEMBER 26—"Co-ops in a World Setting"—what co-ops are doing in the rehabilitation of war-ravaged peoples, their position in the United Nationsi Organization, and the part they are likely to play in developing a peaceful world.
DECEMBER 3—"Putting It Into Practice"—a final round-up done in any manner the students wish;
a banquet if you like, but of course run on true cooperative principles! For the complete eight-week course the fee is $2.50. Register with: Extension Department, University of B.C., Vancouver. Tele-phon ALma 1191.
Nail Shortage
Does the nail shortage trouble you? It does me. We are starting to build our first cottage over on our little Cooperative Community below Dodd Narrows. Thinking I might help out, I wrote to several small cooperatives around the province. Most of the replies Were in the negative, but Mr. C. Dewitt, Hardware Department, Campbell River Cooperative, stated that all
their nails went by special arrangement with the Cooperative Wholesale to Chic Sale, a personal friend of Mr. L. H. C. Phillips. I promptly telephoned Mr. Phillips to ask if my friendship meant anything and what he meant by sending all the nails to Chic Sale. The laughter at the other end of the line nearly disrupted the connections. Said he: "Don't you know who Chic Sale is? He wrote a book called "The Specialist" in which he describes building little one-holers and two-holers out behind other houses !" I began to perceive that my leg was being pulled. My reply to Mr. DeWitt stated that Mr.  Phillips requested Chic Sale
to forward two kegs of nails to the Cooperative Community, and also ordered two left-handed monkey wrenches. Here is the letter I received:
"Dear Madam:
"Mr. Sale refuses to release the nails unless he receives assurance that they are to be used in the approved type of building of which he is a specialist.
"Re wrenches: At present there are no left-handed monkeys in this area. The last one of its kind left here a few days ago to attend the university.
"Yours very truly, "C. DeWitt,
