Baptists to Hold
Work Meeting
For Missionaries
An all church missionary fel
lowship meeting will be held at
First Baptist church, Wednesday,
June 29, at 7:30 p.m.
It will start with work groups.
The children, under the direction
of Mrs. fion Zimmers and Mrs.
Melvin Johnson, will prepare
old Christmas cards for the mis
sion field while the young peo
ple, under the direction of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Clemens, will
cut quilt blocks and roll band
ages. The men, assisted by their
wives, will wrap packages for
mailing and also roll bandages.
After this work period all
groups will unite in singing
under the direction of the young
people of the church and then
view a new film just released by
the Conservative Baptist For
eign Mission society depicting
the religious life of Japan today.
This film is entitled "Into His
Marvelous Light." It not only
shows the strong hold of Shinto
ism, Buddhism, nationalism and
communism, but also gives an
inside picture of Japanese receiv
ing the word of God, it said.
Professionally produced by
Missions Visualized of Holly
wood, "Into His Marvelous
Light" is a documentary picture
filmed in Japan for the Con
servative Baptist Foreign Mis
sionary society. It shows a num
ber of their workers in various
types of missionary activity
among the Japanese people.
Gorsline Missionary circle of
the church will prepare a Christ
mas tree with ornaments and
lights, and every one attending
the fellowship gathering is re
minded to take missionary gifts.
Missionaries in the foreign fields
of Africa, Japan, Alaska and
other countries are counting on
gifts for Christmas, and these
must be collected here in June.
Those without gift lists are .re
minded that children are the
same everywhere and are asked
to take any toy, game or doll
to put under the tree.
The evening will close with
refreshments served by the
church social committee. Every
one interested in missions are
invited and welcome to come.
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.
