Pork promotions
(Continued from Raje 105]
She says her most
memorable experience as
pork queen took place in
Fresno, Calif. Here, she took
part in what she thought,
would be a two or three
minute spot on a radio show.
In actuality, the “spot”
turned out to be an hour and
a half call-in talk show.
“What Ididn’t know before
I went was that the an
nouncer was a vegetarian
who hated pork,” she an
nounced with emphasis.
“And, it turned out that
many of his vegetarian
Mends called up to have
their say,” she continued.
“In that hour and a hal£l
think I was drained of every
ounce of knowledge I had on'
pork, and some I didn’t even
know I had,” she laughed,
almost in relief. In the end,
there was only one question
which she couldn’t answer.
That question concerned the
date when ham was first
cured.
“I looked at it this way,”
she said. “No matter why
people talked with me -
whether it was to learn or
poke fun, I got attention for
the pork industry, and,
hopefully, got some' in
formation across at the same
time.”
After two years of doing
promotional work, Terri is
somewhat of an expert on the
subject, and according to
her, the best advertising any
commodity can get is to
“just let the consumer taste

it.” She is a big advocate of a
program which some pork
producers are working with
entitled, “Pork goes to
School.” This is a program
where home economics
teachers are educated on the
value of the product, which
they then teach to their
classes.
“To me, this is saving the
time and money it takes to
reteach homemakers later,”
she remarked. “Also, high
school girls love to cook, and
whether they want to admit
it or not, there is nothing a
student likes better to do
than to go home and say,
“Guess what I learned
today.”
There was one other point
which Terri stressed
strongly while she was
queen, and still firmly
believes in. That was the
idea that both producer and
consumer must work
together.
“We must get a basic
understanding of what we
both want and need, and
work from there,” she
declared. In her opinion, the
meat boycott was a result of
“misunderstanding and
under-eduation.”
„ Now that Terri is no longer
a member of the pork in
dustry royalty, she plans to
settle down and work as a
member of the industry,
instead. After her schooling
at the University of Illinois,
she plans to go into some
phase of marketing or with
private selective breeding.
