Mrs. Beatrice COok-at present
perhaps the most popular writer
In the Pacific Northwest-has
gained quite a distinction from
her book It'll Fish Us Do Part"
q big best seller hit throughout
the country, now in its third print
ing. She gives the Scandinavians
q lot of credit in the BOOK, too.
The authoress, residing at III
McGilvra Boulevard in Seattle, has
no Scandinavian background what
soever, but she certainly acquired
a little Nordic touch after she was
converted from a fl h e r m ms
widow to a def and vigorously
active fisherwoman out at Orcas
Island and started decorating her
summer home there. The touch"
is rather apparent the moment
you are about to enter her home.
The woman who discarded fine
feathers in a mad search for
flighty fins has also acquired some
sort of a devotion to the goat,
which, she says. is the Scandinav-
ian symbol of fertility on tn e
farm. Sure enough, right above
her front door, she has picture
of a painted goat hanging with
the inscription-'Nobody can get
my goat"

Union County Veterans Clinic

ways than one by the Union Post

For the Legion, Eugene Rausch

be all over the county," said
Rausch, $50 if veterans do not
hear about the clinic, it will nat
be our fault" The posters were
printed and donated by the

In addition, the VA is sending
letter to many veterans whose
names were secured from a par
tial list of discharges recorded in
the Court House.
Since the list is not complete
and all the discharges do not al
ways have a current address,
Robert Beoddy, of the VA, has
stressed the fact that all veterans
are welcome to attend the elm
ic whether they receive letter
or not. Since the clinic is for the
veterans personal benefit they
should all want to attend" Beod-
dy stated.
1t is understood that nearby
radio stations, popular in rural
listening areas, are also boosting
the affair by broadcasting spot
announcements.
The clinic will be conducted by
a group of VA officials, each a
specialist in his field. They will

benefits administered by the VA;
covering subjects such as pen
