RICHMOND PLANNING
SAFE and SANE JULY
FOURTH CELEBRATION

With fireworks tabooed by city
ordinance, Richmond fire and police
officials are looking forward to safe
and sane celebration of Independence
day here this year.
Although no plans have been made
for a community gathering of any
sort, people of Richmond and sur
rounding communities are urged to
celebrate the Fourth along the lines
planned by state officials. who have
been trying to do away with needless
loss of life and property.
Fire Chief Miller said Thursday
that there was little danger from ex-
plosive fireworks this year owing to
the city ordinance, but there Is still
great danger of FIRE from paper
balloons Balloons are not mentioned
among the list of fireworks prohibited
by the city ordinance and they may
still be- used in Independence day eel
ehrations. The fire chief asks, how
ever, that this practice be discon-
tinued due to the danger Of fire arfs-
ing from falling balloons.
There are more fires, or have been
in the past, caused by the use OF toy
paper balloons, than by any other
form of fireworks" the chief declared.
"I have only known of two instances
where fireworks other than balloons
have been the cause of fires here, and
every year has brought number OF
fires on Independence day"
The use of Glen Miller park for pic
MICS and other celebrations was urged
by officials Heretofore, hundreds of
people have used the park for Fourth
of July picnics and gatherings of this
sort, and 1t Is hoped that the crowd
at the park will be even greater this
year. Some effort is being made tc
have band concerts at the park on
Independence day, although no def
mite arrangements have been made.
Plans are being made for big In
dependence day celebration by the
Red Men in connection with their car
nival The grounds Of the carniya
are outside the city limits, and it l:
probable that some sort Of frework!
will be displayed there.

Strawberries Will Soon
Vanish From Local Stores

Local strawberry producers predict
that the best marketable strawberries
will be scorched by the hot sun by
the middle of next week, and one more
week the strawberry crop will be
about finished.
This hot weather, instead of ripen-
ing the berries, has dried them up and
where the lucious fruit would have
given large crops for several weeks to
come If cooler weather had prevailed.
The outlook now is that berries will
soon be completely OF the market.
For this reason the price of straw
berries will prabably remain at twenty
cents quart until they become too
scarce. Dealers may raise the price
next week, it was announced Wednes-
day.

Plums, Apricots, Currants
Appear On Local Market

New plums, apricots and currants
are being sold in Richmond groceries
for the first time this year. Goose
berries have dropped five cents on the
quart and are now selling at 20 cents.
Plums and apricots are selling at
25 cents pound while currants are
selling for twenty cents
The produce market is remaining
firm, but it is the belief of dealers
that the next few days will see de-
cline in both butter and eggs unless
something comes up to retard the de
cline. Shippers have almost quit buy
ing and speculation has practically
ceased.
