Women's Work Is Spreading
Owing to sickness, President Mrs. A. Neish was unable to attend the meeting of the Vancouver Local Women's Auxiliary, January 3.
Mr. V. Hill, the guest speaker, gave an interesting talk on the organising and growth of the Auxiliary and was able to put forward many helpful suggestions. This created a very healthy discussion among the members.
Mr. Barclay from the North Arm local of the union was present along with two delegates from the North Arm Women's Auxiliary of the PCFU.
Mrs. Sabin, vice-president, gave a complete detailed account of the Xmas Tree expenses, and for the very excellent job she has done on that committee was accorded a vote of thanks.
Mrs. March reported that an urgent request for information to form an auxiliary had been received from Sointula. She informed us she has sent them a letter with details of dues, etc.
Mrs. Hill reported other points were also inquiring for information.
—A. Gavin, Publicity Committee.
Auxiliary Notes
At the home of Mrs. D. McKay the meeting for discussion on the constitution was very well attended with Mr. V. Hill and Mr. Harry Corlette from Gibson's Landing representing the union. Mrs. Rogers from Heriot Bay was also a welcome guest.
A very interesting discussion took place and many new points were brought forward. A motion resulted to have a committee from the Union with Mrs. Hill representing the Auxiliary draw up the constitution for approval by the auxiliaries.
The dance at South Hill was quite a success.
Don't forget the Fishermen's Dance on January 27 at Hastings Auditorium.
Don't miss the popular whist drive every Wednesday night at the Union Hall, 164 East Hastings Street.

APPRECIATION
Dear Mrs. Sabin:
Just a note to let you know we received the toys from Sp-encers okay. Tommy delivered the ones Aja had, on Xmas Eve, but the snow delayed the others until after Xmas. We put most of them under the tree at the Church concert, arid it worked out fine. All the children and parents were very pleased and many expressed their appreciation.
We have one toy we cannot find or know anyone by that name (Cialia Iver-son). If you have the list including par-

KIDS MADE HAPPY
Read Island, B.C. December 28, 1938.
Dear Friends:
This morning, after the boat came In, I waded through two feet of snow to get the mail at the post office. I received a very pleasant surprise which proved to be a present for my little brother and myself, from the Women's Auxiliary of the Fishermen's Union.
We thank them very much and wish them every success through the year 1939.
—From Sheila and Ian MacKay.
ents names, it is one turned in before this bunch of last names. We hope to see you soon and then we can talk it over. Mrs. T. Bertrand.
Mrs. P. Sabin:
I received the parcel of gifts for the children in Pender Harbor. When I delivered the same, the parents thanked me and said how they appreciated the kindness which prompted the Xmas Tree.
I was also asked to convey their thanks to you and other of the Ladies' Auxiliary for their kindness. Wishing you the season's greetings and a prosperous New Year.
—J. Cameron, Sec,
Pender Harbor Local, PCFU.
Say, ladies, did you ever hear "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach?" Well it certainly is, and if you want to keep the old man happy and contented, you should have the "More for Your Money Cook-book." It's free for five subs for The Fisherman. Here is another recipe that ought to tickle the palate of any fisherman.
Recently the old-fashioned barbecue has been brought right into the kitchen and nothing's more popular than doing meats and fish in what's called barbecue style, although one of those old French buccaneers who brought it to this country many years ago, would hardly recognise it.
Nevertheless, Barbecued Fish takes a lot of beating- Any medium sized fish will do. After its scaled, cleaned and washed you split it down the back, yank out the backbone and lay it skin side down in a pan which it should nearly fill. Sprinkle on plenty of salt and pepper, dot with a couple of tablespoons of butter and brown in a hot oven, basting with the butter that melts.
When it's golden brown put the pan over a stove top flame for five final minutes, remove the fish and keep it warm in a hot platter while you toss up an instantaneous barbecue sauce by stirring into the Pan juice of fish and butter a pint of boiling water, salted and pepped up with soy sauce, mustard, chil-ies or whatever fiery condiments you fancy with fish, never forgetting a few drops of Tobasco. Let everything boil two minutes while you stir, then pour this sauce over the fish and eat it piping hot.

SISTERS £HIPS IN EASTHOPES
Two well known fishermen are in town getting their boats overhauled at East-hope Brothers' yard. Dave Rogers has his "Phantom" if for repairs and Oscar Overgard is getting his "O-O" fixed up.
These two trollers are sister ships, well known both of1 the inside and among the outside Co-operatives. ft =
North Arm Dance Had Plenty Fun
Ten seiners and gillnetters piled into cars last Thursday night for the dance of the North Arm Local of the PCFU and just made it in time to get in on the refreshments. Led by Elgin "Scotty" Neish, the Vancouver fishermen purposely went out to assist the local in making their dance a success.
It was all that. The hall at Main street and 61st avenue was well filled and prizes for whist were well received by all. Plenty of fun resulted after awarding the booby prizes. These were big parcels — small contents — big laugh.
