(UPI Telephoto) Tuna Gives Competition To Hot Dog By RAY FARKAS United Press International Washington - fUPD - Tuna canners claim their product Is in tile popularity parade with hot dogs and hamburg ers. Sixty years ago you would have been marked down as an odd character if you ate tuna. Tuna meal was used for hail or chicken feed, or just thrown out. But a California fish can ner one day found he was running low on his big item - sardines. He started to can tuna. Since then, things have gone swimmingly. By i040, Americans were eating tuna at the rate of nearly 150 million pounds a year. Now the figure is dou ble that. It average out to almost four cans for each of us last year. Said another way - 700 million cans across the nation. The world's tuna popula tion - like the human count -is booming. Fwperls say tuna Is easily one of the most, if not the most plentiful fish in the sea. On the other hand, salmon, second on the fish popularity acale In the American stom ach, is becoming ' relatively scarce. We ate the contents of about 150 million cans of sal mon last year - roughly one fifth the tuna total. The salmon situation Is complicated by problems with Japan over fishing rights. Japan, in turn, has its troubles with Russia over salmon fish ing along the Siberian coast. The Siberian salmon comes in the red variety. Tuna, unlike salmon, is found in every ocean in the world. It seems most abun dant in the Pacific. Later the board members and their husbands will gath er at the Elks club in Ashland for a dinner.

TV Producer Job Liked by Woman By WARREN FRANKLIN United Press International New York-IUPIl-Audrey Gcl lcn, associate producer of some of television's finest dra matic presentations, says that her husband takes the stand ard husbandly view of wife at work. "He thinks I'm expending my youth, strength and talent on nothing, lie can't equate energy expended and rewards reaped," she said. But Miss Gellen, 2G, who listens dutifully upon occasion to her better half, David Pad wa, 28, indicates there is no Immediate danger of her deserting David Susskind's Talent Associates for a more mundane, if less hectic, ex istence. "You have to care," said Miss Gellen, whose attractive freckles even managed to look intense. "You can't suspend this be lief. A television dramatic show must be worth crying and fighting friends over." Miss Cfcllcn, us associate producer of the Du Pont "Show of the Month" series, hns won the respect of some of television's finest and most discriminating talents for her co-adaptations of such proper ties as "Member of the Wed ding," "The Winslow Boy," "The Browning V e r s i o n," "Harvey," "Hilly Budd," "The Fallen Idol," "Ethan Fromc" and "Years Ago." AH of this almost didn't happen. Five years ago when she was hired by Talent As sociates she quickly won recognition as being the 1 "worst secretary" they ever ' had. But her quick intelli- j gence oulweig'od her secre tarial ineptness. It was de cided to train her as an editor instead of firing her. Now, perched jauntily on ; the success pinnacle, she finds nor existence a merry-go-; round and a treadmill. She finds, however, that the i hustle is worth the trouble. "In television," she said, "all the fun is In the doing. There is no afterward-except Camp Easter Seal Visited by Medford Family Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

Hammel, long-time resident of the Eagle Point area, was honored at a parly recently which observed her birthday anniversay. For many years Mrs. Hammel was affectionately known lo many friends, business associates and buyers as "Turkey Queen" since she and her husband operated one of the largest turkey ranches in the area. Mr. and Mrs. Hammel sold their 1800-acre ranch a few years ago and now live in a new residence on Hammel road. Birthday Party Honors Resident of Eagle Point Eagle Point - Carving turkey for a large gathering is not a novel experience in itself, bu'. it has a facet of Ihe unusual for Mrs. W. E. Ham mel of Eagle Point. The novel thing about il for her is the fact that nowadays the tur key she carves was grown elsewhere than on the Ham mel ranch. A surprise birthday party for her, recently, found her performing this task which, she says, after three years of retirement from the turkey busincs, still seems a little strange to her. All turkeys served at her table from the year 1917 until 1957 had their start in life on the home place. Growing from an idea which germinated on a Fri day, the parly snow-balled by phone and word-of-mouth into the surprise affair on Sunday. Over 40 friends and relatives arrived at the home of the honored woman bring ing a politick dinner and birthday gifts. Tables were set up in the shady yard and a variety of foods served from them. Many Attend Sharing in the dinner, or stopping by during the day to sign the guest book, were Mr. and Mrs. John Foster, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bates, Mr. and Mrs. Ilollie Swingle, Mrs. Eva Garrett, Mrs. Lottie Van Scoy, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hoover, Mrs. Ona E. Paul, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Minter, Terri and Sandra, and Mr. and Mrs. Carl Beebe, all of Medford; Mr. and Mrs. Dee Hendrickson, Central Point; Phillip McCabc, Weston, Ore.; Robert McCabe, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Caster, Beth and Mark, Mrs. Vicey Casler, Mrs. Augusta Perry, Mrs. Gertrude Stanley, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Bates, Max Wopschall and family, Marcia, Marilyn, Max Ine and Melvin, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Minter, George Min ter, Mr. and Mrs. Orvil Hen derson, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Vestal, L. B. French, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer ttcier, and Mr. and Mrs. Merle McGraw, Lana, Wendy and Michael, all of Eagle Point. Two years after her mar riage to Waldemar E. Ham mel, in 1915, Mrs. Hammel became interested in growing, as a sideline, what were called "barnyard flocks" at that time. Although a pear or chard, dairy and beef cattle, hogs, sheep, and diversified fanning were other enter prises on the 1,800-acre ranch, it was eventually to become I well known as the Hammel EAST SIXTH ST. MUTTON PORK SAUSAGE CHOPS 35 29 lb. lb. Turkey ranch. Mrs. Hammel is a lifelong resident of Jack son county, except for four years between 1D25 and 1929 when the couple resided in her husband's home town of St. Louis, Mo. Large Enterprise I From Ihe early '30s through 1944, when the original ranch was sold, their turkey indus try included breeding stock, the sale of eggs, hatching of young poults and marketing of the mature stock, all in all, a year around enterprise. Tur key eggs from the Hammel hatchery breeding stock were in demand up and down the west coast and even shipped as far away as Canada. Eggs and poults were supplied to regular grower customers in the Rogue valley, year after year. At one time, baby poults were alss shipped out of stale. The Hammels in later years took part in turkey shows in Oregon and California, show ing dressed as well as live birds, and have a few rib bons as mementoes. A pioneer in the turkey business in the Rogue River valley, Mrs. Hammel was the first grower to enter the field with quantity flocks, and the first refrigerated rail road carload of "New-York dressed" birds to be shipped out of Medford were from the Hammel ranch. During these years, all processing of fin ished birds was done by hand in a huge shed, and pickers came from miles around to earn Christmas money. Buy ers came in truck from sti'-h distances as Eureka, Calif., Roseburg, Ore., and other points over the slate to load the finished poultry as they wL-re dressed at the ranch. In later years, processing was done in commercial plants in Medford and Roseburg. Flocks Big During peak years, flocks averaged" between 10,000 and 12,000, with the largest at one time numbering 12,000 or a little more. Mrs. Hammel was affectionately known as Ihe "Turkey Queen," among her buiness associates, buyers and friends. After the sale of the origi nal ranch in 1944, the couple built a new home just acrSss the highway and continued with the turkey investment. Registered Hereford cattle and a few American-bred sad dle horses were added to the activities of the new ranch, until its sale in 1957, and their retirement lo their pres ent home on Hammel road north of Eagle Point.
