Canned Salmon
 Ads to Appear In Color l94O

Sales of canned salmon in re- tail stores throughout the United States will be stimulated during early summer months by the ap- pearance of more than fifteen and a half million advertisements in color in leading national house hold magazines, according to the advertising committee office of the Canned Salmon Industry.
 The first gun in the summer campaign to clear distributors warehouses of salmon in advance of the 1940 Alaska pack will be a color advertisement in the June issue of Ladies Home Journal, which boasts the largest circula- tion of any magazine in the world.
 This advertisement will offer an attractive cold salmon platter for warm weather meals. The rich food values of canned sal mon will be dramatised by a chart device which will tell mil lions of women readers of sal mon under the headline: Here science pictures for you the great food values of canned salmon"
 Similar advertisements will ap pear in McCall's magazine and True story magazine.
 In July issues of Ladies' Home Journal, McCalPs and American Home magazines, more advertise ments emphasizing health bene- fits of canned salmon meals will be published.
 June issues will reach approXi mately eight million homes. In July magazines, advertisements of canned salmon will go to more than seven and half mil lion homes.
 To help retailers sell the sal mon in their stores, the salmon industry will also supply them with specially designed store ban ners calling attention to the del icious meals that may be prepar ed with canned salmon.

CONGRESSIONAL HEAVIEST
FIGHTING IN THE FIRST

Speaking of the Congressional fight
in the First District the Evening Sun
has this to say:
Most of the heaviest fighting, much
of it undercover, is taking place in
the First Congressional district, en-
bracing the nine Eastern Shore coun-
ties. Five of the nine counties have
candidates for the Democratic nomi-
nation-usually equivalent to election
and all the candidates insist they
are in to stay.
Although the sitting Congressman,
David ]. Ward, of Wicomico county,
is a candidate for denomination, most
of the firing up to date has been aim
ed at another contender, State Sen
ator Dudley G. Roe, Of Queen Anne's
county. In the camps of the other
candidates-Herbert H. Balch, of Tai
bot county; former State Senator DIN
r. Higgins, of Dorchester county, and
State Senator Thomas F. Johnson, of
Worcester county-most of the talk
has a "beat Roe" ring.
Senator Roe is the administration
floor leader in the upper house at
AiAl;Spolis, and his candidacy has been
abetted by forces allied with Clarence
w. Miles, the administrations stage
manager during the last session of
the Legislature. Several of the can
didates have made overtures toward
an alliance with Senator George l..
Radcliffe, but thus far in the cam
paign the Radcliffe headquarters
have maintained a hands-off attitude.
