WA halibut dinner to be held June 11
Circle Sunday, June 11 on your calendar and make a note of the time, 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., and the place, Fisherman's Hall, 138 East Cordova Street.
That's the date of the halibut dinner given by the Central Council of Women's Auxiliaries to the UFAWU, and no one who has tasted halibut as it is prepared by fishermen's wives who pride themselves on their fish cooking needs any inducement to attend this annual event. June is Fish Month and the WA halibut dinner is the most effective publicity it can receive.
Tiekets at $2.50 each for adults,$1 for children under 12 and old age pensioners, may be obtained by phoning these numbers: 684-3254, 683-9655, 939-0245.

"Class A shares, paying an annual dividend of 75 cents, are convertible into class B shares on a one for one basis, and their market prices run close together. At December 31, 1971, there were 29,238 class A shares and 565,378 class B shares outstanding," the paper reported.
"Class A shares recently were trading at $28, slightly below their record of $29, while class B shares were trading in moderate volume at $28V4.
"At the beginning of the year, both class A and B shares were in the neighborhood of $19, and have been in a steady upward climb since that time.
"Analysts are predicting 1972 earnings per share in the $5-$5.80 range, which would result in a price/earnings ratio of between five and six times based on a $29 market price."
B.C. Packers' net income for the 12 weeks ended March 26, more than doubled to $875,405 ($1.45 per share) from $265,867 (42 cents per share) in the corresponding period last year.

NEW QUILT INQUEST
were three aspects of the case that had received insufficient inquiry at the request. These were:
• The cause of the internal injury that led to Quilt's death.
• Whether the injury was accidental or caused by some person and if so, was that person to blame.
• Whether Quilt's life could have been saved.
Chief Justice Wilson demurred when Davie asked him if he would direct Judge McNeill to give particular attention to these aspects, but after a legal exchange with Davie he agreed to have a transcript of the discusion sent to Judge McNeill.
Spokesmen for the Fred Quilt Committee, which has campaigned for the new inquest and spurred the public outcry that led Peterson to order an investigation of the original verdict, expressed satisfaction at Chief Justice Wilson's order.
But, they said, "we still insist that there is sufficient evidence in the transcript alone to warrant the
Bill Brett dead at 76
PRINCE RUPERT—A retired unionist, 76-year old William Henry Brett, whose political career embraced both civic and provincial office, died at Prince Rupert on April 30.
Before his retirement from active public life in 1966, Bill Brett had held various executive posts in the Prince Rupert based Deep Sea Fishermen's Union, including those of secretary and president.
In 1942 he won election to Prince Rupert City Council as a candidate supported by the old Civic Labor Federation. He held his council seat until 1945, when he contested and won the Prince Rupert provincial constituency for the CCF, serving one four-year term.
He is survived by one son, Evan, in Vancouver.

Bob Rupert drowns in fall from dock
The Vancouver based troll fleet has lost one of its most active members by the tragic death of 43-
BOB RUPERT . . . director of Pacific Trollers Association dies
year old Robert David (Bob) Rupert, whose body was recovered from Burrard Inlet on May 13.
Rupert, a director of the Pacific Trollers Association and a former UFAWU member, had just returned to Vancouver from a trip, tying up at Menchions shipyard at the foot of Cardero Street. It is assumed that he fell from the dock when he returned to his boat, the B.C. Troller, in the early morning hours of May 13.
Born at Essex, Ont, he logged for a short time and operated a fishing lodge at Reindeer, Sask., for three years before he entered the fishing industry on this coast. He trolled first with the Thrasher Rock, then the June L and finally the B.C. Troller.
He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Carrie Rupert, in Ontario, two brothers, Jack, a former troller in Vancouver and Douglas in Calgary; and a sister, Mrs. June Evans at Merritt.
Memorial services, followed by cremation, were held in North Vancouver May 16.
