Bar cookies pack the best for picnics since you take them along in their baking pan. Among all the favorites, date bars always rate high. They have a scrumptious fresh California date filling baked between a crumbly brown sugar and oat meal mixture top and bottom. Fishermen's Wives Organize; 'Fiahtinq Mad' Over Prices By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent Seattle U.R) The wives of the halibut fishermen are fight ing mad. Gill setters' wives and tuna fishermen's wives are pret ty incensed too. Any woman who has seen her husband come home tired, dis couraged and broke after a hard week's work will understand. After generations of tradition that kept wives of commercial fishermen strictly in the back ground while their husbands gambled against the sea and the weather, these women recently began to organize unique auxil iaries. They're determined to fight for their husband's liveli hoods. "It may be halibut to you, but it's bread and butter to us," Mrs. Gus Molvik, newly-elected president of the Auxiliary of Halibut Fishermen's Wives, said emphatically. The auxiliary, the latest one to spring up on the West Coast, had 150 women at their second meet ing last week. It plans to have at least 500 by July 7 when the women meet again to bring all their favorite halibut recipes. They fully intend for the United States Senate to hear their com plaints. Wives of tuna fishermen already have an auxiliary. Gill Netters salmon fishermen were represented by their wives at the halibut meetings. Fishing Family "My husband comes from a fisherman's family," Mrs. Molvik said. "All the way back to Nor way his family were fishermen. But now he's working in the waterfront pool. We have four children and you can't feed four children on nothing. "He came in from fishing one day about a month ago and I looked at the price for halibut in the paper. It was 13 cents a pound, and up north it was six cents a pound. It made me mad. I called up a man at the Deep Sea Fishermen's Union and said, "Can't you do something about it?" "He said there were something like 10-million pounds of halibut in cold storage left over from last year's catch. He said maybe what the men needed was a wives' auxiliary, because they couldn't be out fishing and be on shore too, trying to do some thing about the prices. "I'm surprised the men wanted us to help. For years fishing has been nothing but an all man's game. Women were trained to keep out of it. They are mostly Scandanavian people, you know, and Scandanavian women are not a complaining lot. "I didn't say anything either for a long time. After all, I mar ried a fisherman, and I knew what I was getting into. But I'm Irish, and I finally couldn't keep still. 1 Tough Job "It isn't easy going out on those boats, you know. I know what they go through, because I went fishing with my husband right after we were married in 1940. We fished for shark livers off the coast of California. Once was enough for me. "And when they take those boats out for two weeks, they have expenses. My husband's not a boat owner, but the men share the expenses." Besides collecting halibut reci pes at their next meeting, the women will hear a report on what the U. S. Senate could do to help. There is at present no quota on imported white fish, major competion for halibut. Last year Japan and other coun tries sent in more than 135,000, 000 pounds of white fish, 15 times as much as was imported in 1940. "Our husbands are halibut fishermen. That's all they want to do. What are we going to do if the price of fish is so low we can't live on it?" Mrs. Molvik concluded.
