At each demonstration six fishery recipes were prepared in full viev/ of the 

 audience by a home econcanist of the Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition, infor- 

 mation on the purchasing, 

 storing, thawing, and 

 serving of the different 

 fishery products was pre- 

 sented. The Service's 

 Fishery Marketing Spe- 

 cialist assigned to the 

 State also added infor- 

 mation on the seasonal 

 availability of fish in 

 each locality. Evidence 

 of the interest in the 

 project was shown by the 

 fact that 1,122 persons 

 attended these demon- 

 strations , representing 

 schools with an aggre- 

 gate of over 233,000 stu- 

 dents. More impressive 

 was the fact that the 

 data collected following 

 the demonstrations in-

With this experience, 

 plans were made to do similar work in South Carolina. The work in South Carolina 

 began in January 1950, i/riien plans were made (in cooperation with the School Lunch 

 Program of the State Board of Education) for 20 fish-cookery demonstrations for 

 school-lunch personnel throughout the State in February, March, and April 1950 at 

 the following locations: 



Greenville Florence Spartenburg Orangeburg Wamville 



Pickens Lancaster Gi-eenwood Walterboro Columbia 



Kingstree York North Augusta Camden Aiken 

 Conway 



The attendance at the South Carolina demonstrations exceeded normal expectations . 

 An average of more than 100 people attended each demonstration. Nearly 80 percent of 

 the South Carolina schools were represented at these demonstrations. Such coverage 

 was possible because of the mary localities at which demonstrations were scheduled, 

 and the close and complete cooperation of the State school-lunch program officials.
