The next meeting of the Women's Auxiliary, Local No. 1, PCFU, will be held on December 30, at 164 East Hastings Street, at 8 p.m.
The Reason Why
The incident happened in India.
An Englishman was asked why he paid so little to his Indian workmen.
"Because they do not turn out much work," he said.
"Why don't they turn out much work ?"
"Because they haven't got the stamina."
"Why haven't they got the stamina?"
"Because they don't eat the right things'."
"Why don't they eat the right things?"
"Because they haven't got the money!"
"Why   haven't   they   got the money?" "Because their pay is low!"

So you think you are getting the most you can out of your dollar, Mrs. Housewife? However, in case you are not, here are a few tips that may mean an extra juicy porterhouse for the old man one of these nights.
Do you buy cocoa for the children? If so, you may be interested in knowing that of the two most popular brands, one costs almost twice as much as the other, yet according to strict laboratory tests does not rate any higher in quality or purity.
Of course, so far as women are concerned, one of the biggest rackets is in soaps, cosmetics and so-called "beautifiers." Soaps,, the advertisers tell us, will do almost anything for a girl—from getting her a job to marrying her to the president's handsome son. Her chances are even better if she uses Lifebuoy. The ads tell her how to get rid of body odor, but they neglect to tell her how to get rid of Lifebuoy odor.
Not so long ago a well known cosmetics company was telling the ladies to beware of "acid skin" and advising them to use their preparations if they wanted to avoid this "terrible" condition. But one sad day (for the company), the United States government came along and ordered the company to stop advertising "directly or indirectly" that there is a disease or condition properly described as "acid skin" which may be cured by any of the company's preparations.
According to Consumers Union reports, of those soaps available in Canada, the best buy is Kirk's Cocoa Hardwater Castile Soap. It is available at most stores for five cents or less a bar. However, it must be admitted in all justice, that the majority of nationally advertised soaps are of satisfactory quality, but remember it is YOU who pays for the advertising.
In 1940, according to "Printers Ink," Proctor & Gamble, one of the world's largest soap manufacturers spent for advertising alone, over $13 million dollars. Proctor & Gamble's two biggest competitors, Lever Bros, and Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, were among the ten corpora-
tions spending more than $5 million each for advertising.
If, having read this far, you have developed a headache—and heaven forbid that this should be the case! —do not go to the drug store to buy Aspirin—not even the "Genuine Aspirin" which the radio announcer urges us to insist upon. "Genuine Aspirin" costs about two cents a tablet in small lots. The name 'Aspirin" happens to be a trade name granted exclusively to one certain company by Canadian copyright. Actually, "Aspirin" is acetyl salicylic acid, a preparation sold by dozens of other companies under different names. All these similar products, as with aspirin, must conform to the standardized requirements of the Canadian Pharma-ceutica. The next time, then, you want "Aspirin," ask your druggist for acetyl salicylic acid, and your headache relief will cost you from one-half to one-twentieth of what it formerly did. You will be surprised how much you will save in a year if you are an aspirin addict!
. . . wishes to inform those members of the halibut fleet who delivered halibut livers to their processing plant that a FIRST payment of 25c per lb. is now being paid for such livers. Please notify the Association of your present address.

PCFU Christmas Tree Success
The Women's Auxiliary of Local No. 1, PCFU, held their annual Christmas party in the Union Hall last Sunday afternoon.
A tasty luncheon was served, after which Santa Claus arrived and distributed the presents from the decorated Christmas tree. Judging by the looks on the faces of the children after they opened their parcels, we know they were all pleased with their gifts.
Games and singing followed, and at the close, a hearty cheer was given to the W.A. for their efforts, for so ably acting as Santa Claus. His performance was greatly enjoyed by the children.
Guests of the W.A. for the afternoon were Bruno Kaario, Tracy Harris, Dan Martin, Al Rye, Ted Burnett, Margaret McKay and Mrs. Hanwell.

A Happy New Year
from
(GEORGE MILLER!
i
to All Workers in the Fishing Industry $
Every once in a while somebody does something that the "wise" ones say cannot be done. This is the story of "Ishmael," son of the winderness, just a little Rocky Mountain goat that was trying to get along by himself in this very big world.
Cutting about fifty miles into the Pacific Coast of Canada runs Bute Inlet, a wild, rugged inlet with towering mountains lining its sides. The glaciers running down into its icy waters, and the only inhabitants denizens of the wild — bear, cougar, mountain sheep and goats, roam at will. It was in this country that Granville Hollingsworth, a logging camp operator, was cruising for timber when he first met "Ishmael."
Hollingsworth had anchored his boat, "The Stave," off Clipper Point and started in to look over some timber in what is known as the Cosmos Heights, a large group of mountains bunched together with an altitude of about five to six thousand feet. It was early in June and he had made good progress up the mountain, when he first met "Ishmael."
Coming out onto the ledge of a cliff at about three thousand feet, he stopped. He could hardly believe his eyes. There it was — a young mountain goat peacefully eating brush all by itself. The goat at last turned and eyed him in a very matter-of-fact way. It was quite a time since he had seen anything like this. He remembered the day his mother had taken him far up the mountain to get young twigs to eat; then one of those two-legged creatures had come up. His mother had told him to run, and then he had heard a loud noise, like the rock that comes falling down the mountains in the spring. He ran till his little legs were tired, then he stopped and looked for his mother; but she was not to be seen anywhere. He never saw her again. At first he felt very lonely, but he just drifted along as well as he could. Now he was all right, but here was this two-legged creature again.
Hollingsworth decided then and there he would try to catch the goat. He remembered fellows saying that it was impossible to catch and tame a mountain goat. He thought It would make a fine pet for his two young children, but how to catch it. Moving very slowly he noticed that the goat didn't pay much attention to him, so he gradually got closer and closer. The goat started to walk away, but stopped when he started to bleat. At last he was within reach of it, and quickly grabbed it by the leg. Well, here was one time he had somebody's  "goat," and the most
the goat didn't make any effort to get away.
It was then that Hollingsworth realized that he had caught a real mountain orphan, a real son of the wildnerness, nd so he decided to call it "Ishmael."
Well, here he was. He had the goat in his arms, but realized that the trip down the mountain to sea level was no small job. He remembered that he had an empty sack in his pack, so cutting a hole in it for the goat to stick its head out, he started down. Coming to a small stream trickling down the mountain, he stopped to take a drink, and then, noticing that the goat was making an effort to get loose, Hollingsworth let it out and it drank eagerly, and made no attempt to escape. It started to lick the buttons on his coat — they were in fact very good friends. Arriving at his boat, the children made a great fuss over the goat, and in a short time could not be separated from their new pet. At first they tried to feed it milk, but the goat didn't want it so the children brought young alder twigs for him to eat. It was necessary to tack these down on the deck of the boat so he could pull the leaves off by himself.
Ishmael grew tame very quickly and soon had the run of the boat. He was the constant companion of the children, and at night would bleat at their cabin door till he was let in, and would then curl up at the bottom of the bed. As the goat grew up he was pure white in color, not the ordinary straw color of the average goat. He made a very pretty picture standing on the pilot house roof or running around the piles of logs, and was friendly with the whole crew, and when the dinner bell went he generally was first at the door to get some tidbit.
Ishmael had a tragic end. One day when he was following the men at work on the floats he met his Waterloo. Jumping across some boom-sticks he slipped into the sea and before anyone could do anything he was carried away by the current and drowned.
British Columbia has been noted for its queer pets. The Shnarr girls with their pet mountain lions, two hundred pounds of yellow lightning. Seals that would come up out of the sea when called; and Susie the bear that slept with its boss. But more about Susie another time.
Yes, British Columbia has queer pets, and it will not surprise us some day to see a full grown grizzly bear following somebody up the wharf to the general store.
The orange tree is believed to be the only one which bears fruit and
surprising part of it all was that j flowers at the same time.
