homecooking table is always a great attraction and as usual, the delicious baking displayed there is certainly worth high mention here. Mr. Nick Spilchen, president of Ladner UFAWU, opened the bazaar.
We were favored with three guests from the Vancouver WA, namely Mrs. North, Mrs. Stevens, and Mrs. Rigby. These ladies were welcomed to our bazaar and were introduced to the gathering by vice president, Mrs. Irene Silick. We enjoyed having these visitors very much and hope they will come again to our social affairs at Ladner. Our thanks go to all who helped make this Tea and Sale a success, and a special thank you to the members of the Union who came in the afternoon.
We are still looking for ticket number 122 drawn for the prize at the Home Sewing booth. Look in your pocket or wallet, you may have it and the prize is worth collecting.
Mrs. Mary Stevens was winner of the First Prize, a lovely breakfast

was anti-Irish. "Show me an Irishman," he yelled, "and I'll show you a coward."
A big Irishman stepped forward inquiring, "What did you say?"
The orator was frightened but held to his guns and repeated his remark.
"I'm an Irishman," said the big, man as he clenched his fist.
"And I'm a coward,"- said the smart orator, and went on with his speech.
THE TRATE PROSECUTOR whirled on the defendant: 'Madam," he shouted, trying to prove a vital point. "While you were taking your dog for a walk did you stop any place?"
The spectators waited tensely for her answer.
"Sir," she said quietly, "did you ever take a dog for a walk?"

THE MILKMAN bought a horse for the morning round. It was not exactly a thoroughbred, but it had four legs.
One day he took his bargain to the blacksmith to have him shod. The smith regarded the weary-looking animal critically, paying particular attention to his lean body and spindly legs.
"You ought to have a horse there some day," he said at length. "I see you've got the scaffolding up."

PRICES SUPPORT AID GIVEN ON NEWFOUNDLAND SALT COD
A "deficiency payment" of $1.30 per quintal (hundredweight) of salt cod will be paid to Newfoundland fishermen on their 1950 production by the federal government under the Fisheries Prices Support Act, according to an announcement made last week by Fisheries Minister R. W. Mayhew. A statement issued by the min-3>
ister, declares in part as follows:
"In fulfilment of commitments made over a year ago, the Government of Canada has authorized the Fisheries Prices Support Board to make deficiency payments on the 1950 production of Newfoundland shore-caught and Labrador semi-dry salted codfish. The payments will be made to approximately 20,000 Newfoundland and Labrador fishermen.
"For generations, salted codfish has been the mainstay of Newfoundland's shore fishermen, and the abnormal decline in the price of Labrador and Newfoundland salted fish which occurred between 1949 and 1950 made it necessary for the Federal Government to take action under the Fisheries Prices Support Act.
"In contrast to the improved market situation today, conditions were particularly 'difficult in 1950 when post-war adjustment in the markets was taking place. The extension of wartime and relief demands and the disruption of European production had been sufficient to maintain prices at relatively high levels. The cessation of these extraordinary demands, coinciding with the tight dollar position in the principal markets for the Newfoundland product, depressed the prices to fishermen.
"It is the Federal Government's belief that prices support action cannot solve the problem of Newfoundland fishermen. Fundamental improvements in production methods are necessary'and the Federal Government places great significance on the work now being carried out by the Newfoundland Fisheries Development Committee, under Sir Albert Walsh. Improvements of this kind will take time and, since fishermen presently depend on the sale of salted codfish for as much as 85% of their, income, the alternative of deficiency payments was considered necessary in this instance.
"As was stated earlier this year, market conditions for the 1951 production have improved to the point where action under the Fisheries Prices Support Act appears unnecessary.
"The deficiency payment of $1.30 per quintal on an estimated production of 645,000 quintals of 1950 fish will apply uniformly to all grades and sizes of shore-caught
fish and will go directly to all Newfoundland shore fishermen who sold such fish, regardless of what price they received from their merchants. Thus, the payment will not disturb the existent differentials due to distance from export points, quality or other causes. The Fisheries Prices Support Board has been authorized to proceed with arrangements to distribute the payments' as soon as possible, but it will take cdnsider-able time to. check all statements received and still to be received from fishermen, and to prepare for the final issuance of cheques to individuals. To date, forms covering the sale of shore fish have been received at Ottawa from some 8,500 sellers of fish. Sharemen who sold their fish through the skipper of a crew should receive their share from the skipper of the crew.
"Any fishermen who sold shore-caught fish, either on his own behalf or on behalf of others sharing with him, and who has not yet received from his merchant the special Government forms covering his sales of 1950 fish, should immediately get in touch with his merchant. Merchants who have not yet distributed the forms supplied to them for completion and distribution to fishermen are urged to do so at once. Payments to fishermen cannot be made until these forms, signed by both merchant and fisherman, have been received in Ottawa. For these reasons, fishermen should not anticipate receiving cheques covering their share of the deficiency payment for at least another two months. «
"A deficiency payment of 85c per quintal will be paid to the producers of semi-dry Labrador codfish also of the 1950 production. This latter payment, on approximately 51,000 quintals, will raise the p'rice of semi-dry Labrador to $7.85 per quintal and will restore the traditional percentage differential between the prices of semi-dry and the ordinary cure. The price of Labrador fish of the 1950 production had previously been, guaranteed by the Federal Government at a uniform price of $7.00 per quintal for either semi-dry or ordinary cure. This fish has all been disposed of and the industry is carrying on without Federal assistance in 1951."
