Oil Skimmer for Commencement Bay
Belt in Middle Scoops Up Oil and Debris

Commencement Bay received an oil skimmer rig to fight oil spills. The skimmer can hold up to 880 gallons of oil and uses the belt in the middle of the rig to pick up oil and debris. The skimmer can hold the oil for about 98 percent of the oil spills that occur in Puget Sound, and it is run by the Marine Oil Pickup Service (MOPS) of Seattle.

40 Mallard ducks used to paddle Fife’s Wapato Creek had to paddle in a kitchen sink instead. Volunteer Chris Wells scrubbed one of the ducks affected by the oil spill in the creek. All ducks were expected to recover. The spill was blamed on vandals who were believed to have tampered with the storage tanks at the Old Valley Packing Co. recently purchased by the Milwaukee Railroad.

Binh Duong, a former interpreter for Americans in Vietnam, speaks to a public assistance caseworker. Duong led a group of Vietnamese refugees that he arrived with in May 1975. Duong himself already had a job and was employed by the Department of Social and Health Services to help other refugee families adjust to the new environment.

--Mailorder English--
Mui Tran, 58 is learning "survival" English by reading daily from the Sears catalog, the textbook for his class at Tacoma Community College. But the former tea farmer from the high mountains of Vietnam is quickly learning why so many people call the mail-order catalogs "wishbooks." Like his classmates in 90 similar classes in Washington, Tran's inability to speak English is barring him from finding a job.

Pasting Tacoma All Over the World
Here is shown H. C. Weaver, president of H. C. Weaver Productions, Inc., pasting what is known as a 24 sheet on the Market street side of the Rialto Theater. The bill tells its own story, but this picture tells more. It is the start of real publicity for Tacoma, as "Hearts and Fists" will be advertised in trade journals in getting it before exhibitors, then in local papers where it is to be shown and finally on the silver sheet before audiences - and the name Tacoma is tacked securely to this publicity.

Rialto Theatre Starting Saturday Jan. 2
