No, it isn't true that the Customer is Always Right though it may be wise not to contradict him
BUT AS SURE AS NIGHT FOLLOWS DAY—
Any Producer or Wholesaler or Retailer who sells his Customers poor quality Fish is Always Wrong, and pays the piper in 'repeat' orders he doesn't get.

Close to 180,000 pounds of halibut have been brought in to the United Fishermen's Co-op in the space of three days by eleven halibut vessels which delivered their last catch of the season to Vancouver.
One June 11, last day for fishing- in Area 2, three vessels sold through the co-op. These were the B.C. Bird, 14,729 pounds; Bar-den, 26,482 pounds; and the La-comone, 11,673 pounds.
The following day, June 12, the Haida Chief brought in 16,-085 pounds and the Scott Hill, which landed its catch in New Westminster, 20,046 pounds.
On Thursday, June 13, the Funkis, which also landed its catch in New Westminster, brought in 10,271 pounds. Five other vessels, which all came into Vancouver, were the Aleutian, 12,573 pounds; Narvik, 16,261 pounds; Shizu, 4,657 pounds; Karmsund, between 19,000 and 20,000 (hailing); and the Melville, 30,000 (hailing), bringing the co-op "take" to around 180,000 pounds for these days.

W HAVE THE FLOOR'
Station, Store At Secret Cove
Editor, The Fisherman:
We have recently opened a fueling station and general store here at the Government Float, which, we feel, will fill a long felt need in this locality.
In fact every fishermen calling has expressed satisfaction that such a service has been put into operation.
Home Oil products are used and we are putting in floats for the convenience of fishermen. Our stock, while not as extensive as we would like it to be, is fresh, varied and reasonably priced. We are definitely not trying to get rich at the expense of anyone. Float and crib facilities are free. During the winter months we will have storage floats .where for a nominal sum, less than city float rentals, fishermen may leave their boats and have any work done they might require so they will be ready to go at the opening of the season. A short road, less than 500 yards, connects us with the main highway between Pender Harbor and Gibson's Landing. There is a bus service on this highway.
It is also possible, depending on the lumber situation in the future, that we will have cabins to rent to fishermen during the winter months.

Desires Freedom To Assist Strikers
Editor, The Fisherman:
Did someone say that Hitler was dead? Well, it would seem that he must have a lot of counterfeits running round in circles, doing little snide tricks, under cover of darkness, just as vandalism and hoodlums ran riot under Fascism, before our boys got mad and decided to put an end of it all over there; now it crops up in Canada and yet Canada is supposed to be a DEMOCRACY, freedom of speech and the right to think as we please. HOWEVER, some folk still sneak out at night and tear placards off your gate, if it happens to be in support of the IWA as mine was.
This is a lovely spot, as far as old Mother Nature is concerned, none lovelier; but now that the ugly head of hate and class prejudice has raised its head, hissing at anyone who dares support the striking loggers and their Union, one wonders just how much damage the beast will be allowed to do ere we squash it forever.
I bring this to the attention of the fishermen, as many call in here to Maple Bay, and think that all progressive people should be on the qui vive, for any such acts as perpetrated recently, when the Union placard I had tacked on my front gate, was torn off, and evidently destroyed as there was no trace of it in the morning. I thought our fences were our own private property in this free Canada, and we could support a striking union if we so desired.
What have we been fighting for all these years, the right to think as we choose, or become mere echoes of those yesterdays when the common man dare not think for himself? I do not think millions of gallant souls, who died that we might live and fight on ^o freedom, meant that we should take it laying down; anyway there's always another placard.
