The day was wonderful for fishing but the salmon had apparently migrated to other grounds. Rozanne Beil won the trophy by catching the only salmon of the day. Nellie Higgins caught the most fish (other than salmon), and Felix Johnson the biggest fish, a cod. AII three were awarded raincoats as prizes.

The drowing of golfers at the first tee following the dinner, Sept. 16, with WBMA's newly acquired TV production equipment was highly entertaining, at least to the golfers. Although many golfers are un' doubtedly going to do some practicing af' ter seeing themselves on TV, this was only a demonstration of the equipment which will be used primarily for industry educa' tional programs. It was a good test of its versatility and it will be an effective tool in developing future programs.
