NEW ZEALAND WOMAN PRAISES FROZEN FISH
 FROM ALASKA

Fish caught in Alaskan wat ers go to many far corners of the world, and are appreciated by the consumers, says the ketchikan Chronicle.
 This was shown in letter just received from far-off New Zealand by the New England Fish Company from a woman consumer of their famed Bel
 ana Brand" salmon and hal- ibut.
 A label which the ccmrany sticks on every fish when it is Grepared for shipment accomp- alies the letter. The letter in cart reads:
 T have had several large ( lantities of frozen salmon and wondered how far.it had come. However, the other day my piece had on the enclosed tick ct. l thought as we belong to England, and have spent lot Of time in Scotland, where we have some beautiful fish (sal~ r2on), you might be glad of g eow lines to tell you how your frozen fish compares with the :reeh fish we have had all through Scotland, also on the Iona and Columbia on the Cly- de. I can assure you that it Is very fine indeed, and though from being frozen it is not quite so fine, it is particularly good. It is a great change to us to get it as the New Zeal- and fish is very flavorl aqs ow- ing to the hot climate in thls island, where everything grows too quickly"
 In addition to New Zealand, fish caught near Ketchikan is shipped in large quantities to Australia, Holland, England, France and many other coun- tres.

Marcel Dupre Gives
Pleasing Organ Recital

Marcel Dupre gave an organ recital
last night at the congregational
church and perhaps in the history
of the city more wonderful mhsic has
never been heard. Nearly seven hun
dred people listened to the recital
played on the new organ of the
church which is the finest in Water
vile.
The name of the first theme was
Cortese and Litany composed by
Dupre himself year ago. The first
part was a solemn religious theme
marching forward from the distance,
followed later by plaintive suppl-
cation intoned by flutes, which in
creases in power as If recited with
growing fervor by a worshipping
throng. The two themes are then
combines contrapuntally reaching a
surperb climax.
Duo by Clerambault was quaint
little duet in the graceful style of the
18th century. The first part of the
program included several more Sc
lections of great variation, one an
eXquisit transposition of a hymn and
another "The Finale in B Flat" by
Franck that revealed the power of the
great organ by the mighty crash of
music.
The final composition of the first
part was Variations on the Ancient
