Proctor, District ye!??. .j-.;.!. ! J^riA clU unman a.cv/1. ,e At the present time, Mrs. Proc-1 11 tor said, a survey is being made ' jn ; so that the Raleigh ERA office ; IV le J will have complete records be-1 s i fore the plan for the fishermen! iis finally put into operation. John I Sikes, ERA publicity man in i charge of the fishermen's progr j gram, has spent the past few fc weeks in Maine studying the j methods used there for the pack, *! ing, preserving and merchandis- s' ;ing of fish. E "n j The Fishermen's Self-Help Co- di (operatives, as they were explain- w ? ed by Mr. Sikes a few weeks ago, are an attempt to bring the bene- s' (fits of the New Deal to fishermen (who lack adequate facilities for P marketing their product.- The cl fishermen will form a co-opera- ' I tive company with a share of r; | stock for each member. The ERA | I will then erect plants in which I fish can be frozen, canned and I packaged so that they will have . a year-round sale and thus allow fa more consistent margin of proI fit to the fisherman. The ERA'S jsc ; advances will be paid back by | I the fishermen out of the profits that should accrue from more f efficient methods of merchandis-1 lrl ing. According to Mro.
