 DEMONSTRATION
Seventh Affair ofKind Will Be Held in Seattle on
 March }

SEATTLE, Feb. 1.-The seventh annual canned salmon cutting dem onStration will be held on March 3, A, w. Wittig, chairman of the gen. eral committee in charge, announced today.
 This cutting demonStra ton is the annual pack check up" on the years work by the canned salmon industry. More than TOO cans of salmon from the 1888 American pack, representa- tive of all species, all districts, and virtually all canneries, will be open ed, examined and rated from the standpoint of quality and workman ship
 Cutting and judging of the sample cans will take place in the morning with separate committees of judges examining each of the five salmon species. Following the judging, the samples will be displayed for ins- pection by all those actively engag- ed in salmon canning. An attendance of more than 800 cannery 'superin- tendents, key caery employees, pack CTS, ad primary market sales agents s expected for this inspection.
 Reports To Be Made
 Following the judging and in- dustry inspection of the samples, ar afternoon session Of the industry will listen to reports by the chairmen ot the judging committees for each species. Talks will also be made al this session by representative of government agencies interested in the salmon industry, and by other authorities on salmon canning prob lems.
 A prominent home economist will also outline the interest Of the nat ions housewives in canned salmon. and the importance of uniform high quality in the product.
 The cutting demonstration and judging reports through which most of the key men in the actual can- ming operations of the industry have the opportunity of studying care fully the results of the previous packing season are regarded by the industry as an educational step of great importance in the continual effort to improve the workmanship in salmon canning. Chairman Wittig states.
 Quality Foremost
 Everyone engaged in the salmon industry must keep quality foremost so that Alaska's salmon may be as- sured continuous market in the future. This is extremely important as the competition for the consum- erfs' dollar from canned fish packed in other parts of the world is stead fly growing more intense" he said.

MODEL INDIAN VILLAGE BUILT
 AT kETCHIkAN
Three Community Houses 10 Be Visible from
 Steamer Channel

A model Indian village of three community houses is being con- structed near Ketchikan as a tourist attraction. Plans for the replica village, which will not be lived in, were approved today by Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman and the ground is already being cleared for erection of the buildings.
 Historically accurate. the village is being built to preserve examples of the art and culture of the Thlinget Indians. War canoes, totem poles and other articles are to be on view at the village as well as the three ornate houses.
 Workmen on the village are prin- cipally Indians, employed by the Forest Service, CCC and with some help from the WPA.
 The village is located on the shoreline of Tongass Narrows where it can be seen easily from the steamer channel. The location is seven miles from Ketchikan on the Tongass highway. Eight acres of wooded ground have been set aside for the project, which will be com pleted by the end of this year.
