LIONS HOWL WITH
POST-DERBY PAIN
Fish stories with a difference
made up the program of today's
luncheon meeting of the Lions Club
in the Baranof Gold Room, after
announcement that pictures sched
uled for showing had not arrived.
Instead of tall tales of the big
ones, Lions roared in pain over
their failure in the week-end Sal
mon Derby.
Sole exception (no pun intended)
was Lt. Delbert Applegate, whose
28-pound, two-ounce king was the
fifth largest weighed in.
Applegate declared he is a "con
firmed spoon-man," having the best
luck trolling with McMahons and
Superiors. Someone aboard his i
boat caught fish each day. He |
caught the big one at 8:30 a.m. j
Saturday on the first pass at the'
north end of Shelter Island.
Lions moaned along with Bill
Wood over the irony of his catch
ing a 45-pounder just a week be
fore the Derby, and they argued
with Milton J. Furness as to the
identity of a fish he described.
(Of all members, Furness was the
last who should be puzzled, they
thought, as he is with the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service.)
Fred Geeslin of the Mt. Edge
cumbe Lions Club offered several
suggestions for consideration by the
1951 committee.
He proposed that the Derby not
be held until after the extreme
high and low tides. He also sug
gested that to give unsuccessful
stateside entrants a happier mem- j
ory of the Derby, they be sent |
packages of six cans of Derby sal
mon. This, he observed, would be
in line with the general promotion
of the sports event.
"I caught nothing,” was the
theme of the "testimonial meeting"
until a show of hands made clear
that two-thirds of those entering
the event had caught something—
not necessarily salmon.
Former President Val Poor an- I
nounced that the Juneau club had
made the largest membership in
crease in the district for the fiscal
year, and that Lions International
is sending a speaker's stand to the
club for the achievement.
Visiting Lion Geeslin was named
Tail Twister for the day, and Max
Penrod, also of the Mt. Edgecumbc
club, was the only other guest.
About members who are ill, Dr.
Joseph O. Rude reported that Ho
mer (Hami Hamilton, in Seattle,
is doing well; MacKay Malcolm,
in the East, is improving, but that
the condition of Harry Sperling, in
Bt. Ann's Hospital, is no better.
