of the Fishery Advisory Committee and others. It further contributed 

 numerous articles and graphic charts for the pamphlet entitled 

 "Facts — The Key to Progress." 



EXHIBITS AT EXPOSITIONS 



During 1937, the Division continued its supervision of the Bureau's 

 exhibits at the Texas Centennial Central Exposition at Dallas, Tex., 

 and the Great Lakes Exposition at Cleveland, Ohio, both of which 

 ran during second year; and arranged for displays for the Florida 

 State Fair in Tampa, Fla., and the International Exposition of Paris, 

 France. These exhibits attracted considerable attention from visitors 

 and assisted materially in bringing before our people the need and 

 value of fishery conservation. 



TEXAS CENTENNIAL CENTRAL EXPOSITION 



At the conclusion of this exposition, the main feature of the Bureau's 

 display, consisting of a sport-fishing diorama, was sent to Tampa, Fla., 

 and installed in the fisheries building of the Florida State Fair. This 

 will remain on display there for the Pan American Exposition in 

 Tampa in 1939. 



GREAT LAKES EXPOSITION 



At the conclusion of this exposition a portion of the display was 

 loaned to the University Museums of the University of Michigan, 

 Ann Arbor, Mich., for display in the fishery hall. This consisted of 

 the mechanically-operated diorama depicting the effect of thermal 

 conditions in Lake Erie on the commercial capture of fish, a diorama 

 of fish-hatchery operations, models of Great Lakes fishery apparatus, 

 a displaj^ explaining net preservative treatments, and miscellaneous 

 canned fish products. Another portion of the display, consisting of a 

 panel of articles made from fishery products, was loaned to the Conser- 

 vation Division of the State of Ohio and placed on display in the 

 Bureau's fish hatchery building at Put in Bay, Ohio, 



INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION AT PARIS, FRANCE 



The Division prepared an exhibit of the Bureau's activities for use 

 in the United States Government Building at this exposition in 1937. 

 This consisted of a series of 24 colored transparencies of 16 by 20 

 inches each, arranged in a wall panel, and depicted the Alaska salmon 

 fisheries, the Bureau's research work on fishery technology and 

 biology, and its work in the propagation and distribution of fish. 

 Each transparency was titled in both English and French. The 

 Bureau was allotted $250 for the preparation of this exliibit. At the 

 conclusion of the Exposition the transparencies were returned to the 

 Washington office. 



NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR, AND GOLDEN GATE EXPOSITION, 1939 



Members of the Division have devoted considerable time to plans 

 for Bureau exhibits at the New York World's Fair, 1939, and the 

 Golden Gate Exposition, 1939, at San Francisco, Calif. Federal dis- 

 plays or exhibits for these two fairs will not be constructed by the 

 various Government agencies, as heretofore. Rather, these agencies
