INDIANCOVE, Nfd. (CP)

Canadians and they might

Men, women and children
in the small comrounity of
Notre Dame Ray and other

. hamlets have earned tens of

seasonal industry.
Last year, a record 65
million pounds of the small

eventually sold for $3 million

- at the producer level.

Russians, Bulgarians and
Romanians are among ihe
bigger buyers of fresh squid.

Almost all of Jast year’s
harvest was processed and
frozen for transport in big
foreign fishing and factory
ships to markets abroad. A
total 57 million pounds was
handled in this way.

Squid sometimes is used
for bait, and 170,000 pounds
of squid were dried last year
for shipment to Far East
markets.

A growing interest by
foreign buyers in Japan,
China, Taiwan and Korea
prompted a new look at dried
processing methods, and this

Indian Cove is a com-

effort paid off here and
elsewhere with fishermen

pounds of squid by the end of
September at a return of $1a

The dried squid industry is
welcomed enthusiastically
by the fisherfolk for two

last a major activity in
outport communities.
—Drying squid is easy and
cheap. No- salt or preser-
vative is used. They are
simply gutted and spread on
small flakes (platforms of
poles‘and boughs) for four or
fivedays in dry weather. Sun
and wind help the process.
The fisheries department
plans to attempt to promote
expansion of the dried squid
industry. A pilot project is
under way to find some
mechanical means of
cleaning and drying. Use of
mechanical salt cod fish
dryers in artificial drying
plants might be an answer.
This would permit
processing in good or bad
weather and free the
fishermen to catch more.

Pan Am says they were
highly successful,

A typical package—which
will sell for between $2,300
and$3,-200 depending on
currency fluctuations—will
see the traveller fly from San

After a three-day stay in the
British colony the tour party
enters China across the
famous footbridge at
Shumchun for 4 12-day slay.

The group travels by train
to Kwangchow before
moving on to Shanghai,
Nanking and Peking. In each
city guided tours are
arranged by the Chinese.

All the well-known tourist
destinations will be seen—in
Peking, for instance, the tour
includes visits to the For-

Tours are limited to 46

passengers each trip. They
wind up with three days in
Tokyo,
The tours will leave once a
month from January to
September and conclude
with two in October. For an
added cost a stopover in
Hawaii can be booked.

Pan Am also have joined
with Lawson-McKay Tours
of Tororite to offer two
around-theworld guided
tours, One will be of 23 days,
the other 29 days.

Lemley said the tour pack-
ages are part of Pan Am’s
continued interest in
Canadian travellers and is
not a new drive on the
Canadian market.

Canadians spend
$21million a year travelling
on Pan Am, about two per
cent of the airline's annual
revenue.
