Campaign to Reduce
Supplies of Tuna
To Be J tine 2 to i i
In response to requests from the
Pacific Coast tuna canning indus-
try. Secretary of the Interior Doug-
las McKay announced today that
the Pish and Wildlife Service will
cooperate in a joint Industry-Gov-
ernment promotion campaign de-
signed to move into trade channels
the liberal supplies of canned tuna
now on hand.
The nationwide campaign, now
getting under way, is geared to
reach its peak during the period of
June 2 to 11.
Although record stocks of can-
ned tuna are now available, lead-
ers of the industry are confident
that this high inventory can be
substantially reduced during the
campaign will be directed toward
so well into warm weather menues.
With a stock of this versatile can-
ned food on her pantry shelf, the
housewife can proivde her family
with a variety of quick and easy-
to-prepare summer meals. With the
low prices now prevailing, canned
tuna piesents an especially grxid
bargain for summer use.
In order to move the canned tuna
stocks as rapidly as possible, the
campailgn will be directed toward
both the Institutional and home-
consumer markets. The industry is
j planning the preparation of point-
of-sale and other merchandising
aids for use in encouraging in-
creased consumption of canned
tuna.
Secretary McKay stated that the
Fish and Wildlife Service will aid
the industry’s promotional efforts
through special work with schools,
institutions, and food trade groups.
In addition, informational and
educational activities will be in-
creased so as to attract greater
consumer attention. The service will
also work closely with the United
States Department of Agriculture
in this campaign.
The tuna are available in a num-
ber of styles of pack. The solid
pack consists of tuna loins packed
in oil; the chunk pack, as the name
implies, is a pack of chunks in oil;
the grated pack is the grated or
shredded portion of the tuna loin;
the flake pack is the broken or
mixed segments of the loin. Many
specialty packs are also available,
such an "tonno" consisting of solid-
meat tuna ,jacked in olive oil: tuna
paste, which is excellent for hors
d oevres and canapes; and baby
food packs. For the past several
years a ‘ dietetic” pack has been
put up for those persons who must
avoid salt in their diets. Practically
all of these styles of pack are avail-
able in white meat, light meat, or
dark meat. The imported stocks,
which come primarily from Japan,
are generally packed in brine ra-
ther than in oil.

wWife silk taffeta and: imported

"TELEPHONE IS THE CENTER
OF OUR FAMILY CIRCLE"
These are the words of Mrs. Colin Stewart,
one of a group of Southwestern Bell cus-
tomers who recently kept a day-to-day
record of telephone calls made and re-
ceived during one week.
Until she kept this record of calls, Mrs.
Stewart says she never really realized how
important a part the telephone plays in
her family life.
You see, Mrs. Stewart* husband is re-
tired now, and though they spend more
time together, she still likes to keep in
touch with all of her familv-a daught
son-in-law and four grandcnildi
Iren.
The telephone in your home is
only the beginning of the great-
er telephone convenience you
may enjoy. For information on
how you can have modem,
complete home telephone serv-
ice, please call the telephone
business office.
Above are just a few of the telephone
calls Mrs. Stewart listed during one day.
They show why she says that the tele-
phone is the center of her family circle.
