TOP HONORS GO TO INTERIOR DEPARTMENT FISHERY RECIPE BOOKLET 



The fishery recipe booklet Fish and Shellfish Over the Coals, issued by the U. S. De- 

 partment of the Interior's Bureau of Commercial Fisheries, was one of three of that De- 

 partment's publications awarded top honors 

 r^.j^^^^H jflBH^^^^^^^^^^HI^HH^H as outstanding publications of their kind in 



the 1966 Federal Editors Association's Pub- 

 lications contest. The awards were made in 

 Washington, D. C, on June 21, 1966, by Vice 

 President Hubert H. Humphrey and John W. 

 Macy, Jr. , chairman of the Civil Service 

 Commission. 



The Bureau's fishery recipe booklet re- 

 ceived the award as the best full-color pub- 

 lication. The other honors to Interior pub- 

 lications were for The Natural Resources of 

 Utah , as the best popular publication in a se- 

 ries , and Aquatic Pests on Irrigation Sys - 

 tems , as the best technical publication. 



Fish and Shellfish Over the Coals was 

 acclaimed the outstanding United States Gov- 

 ernment publication released in 1965 in the 

 full color category. The Bureau's Branch of 

 Marketing which created the booklet, was a- 

 warded the Blue Pencil Highest Achievement 

 Award. Vice President Humphrey made 

 many favorable comments regarding the 

 booklet. He said, "I want to tell you that I 

 just wanted to go right out on the seashore 

 after reading it. It is really great." 



Fish and Shellfish Over the Coals is a 

 24 -page illustrated recipe booklet, one of a 

 series presenting appealing and appetizing 

 ways of preparing fish and shellfish. It is an 

 epicurean's delight, and there is no doubt a- 

 bout that. It can be purchased for 40 cents 

 from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. 

 Government Printing Office, Washington, 

 D. C. 20402. 



All three publications that were honored 

 were judged on the basis of appearance, or- 

 ganization, presentation of material, read- 

 ability, suitability to purpose, and thoughtful 

 use of space, paper, and type.
