...weather-beaten fishing towns from Anacortes, Wash. to New Westminster, B.C., fishermen last week toasted each other in Slovenian, Norwegian and English. Not for 41 years had such hordes of salmon swarmed through Puget Sound on their way to their spawning grounds far up British Columbia's Fraser River...
...choppy sound, purse seiners worked all night hauling in blue-backed sockeye salmon. One boat brought in $21,000 worth, then headed out again. Wharves and packing plants were soon piled high with sockeye, whose firm red meat makes it a fine canning fish. In Bellingham, Wash. housewives were drafted to help in the crowded canneries; in Anacortes children were excused from school to help.

They guzzled 200 bottles of pink champagne (price: $11 a fifth) and torrents of other beverages, ate their way through flocks of guinea hens and a whole salmon (length: I yd.), gaped at one buffet display featuring a woolly lamb surrounded by genuine lamb chops. The swan-song theme was carried out by a dozen huge swans, carved from ice, which graced the tables, plus flocks of smaller black-metal swans dangling from trellises in the yard. While...
