 Inside of his office" is a min iature salmon trap and the shelves will be stocked with various brands of salmon. Labels are now on dis play and literature about salmon and how to prepare it in many d;f- ferent forms for the table IS be- ing prepared.
 Mir. Blackwood believes that tou- rlsts from every part of the United States, in fact from nearly every part of the world, pass thru Ketchikan during the summer months. Therefore, this is the To- gical place to call their attention to the food value of Alaska fish.
 Salmon is offered in souvenir packages so that visitors can put them in their grips and try them out when they return home.
