TURKEYS SELL LOWER
THAN LAST YEAR AT
FREDERICK MARKET
[COntinued from frH pags1

in operation during the greater part
of the day in addition to the store
rooms about the auction place.
The occasion was the busiest
which Frederica has had in some
time. Everyone was busy. Whichever
way a person looked men were un-
loading turkeys, weighing turkeys
or handling turkeys in some way or
other.
Occasionally some turkey man
would come out of the store room
and shout to a friend:
"Hey Jim, did you know they were
culling your turkeys in there?"
Jim would shout back: mo they
don't, they bought that load without
any culling and they are going to
pay full price for all the birds" and
Jim would disappear into the store
to see about it. 1t was business all
the way through. The seller was
after all that was coming to him and
the buyer was insisting upon an un-
form quality if he took the entire
load.
Some people who came along the.
road parked their cars and went
into the turkey market to see if they
could make purchases. The whole
salers and buyers, however, aOso-
lutely refused to sell one turkey, but
in this United States there is al
ways some one who is out to make
some money. 1t was not long before
these men began buying turkeys in
dozen lots and selling them to mo-
torists who stopped at slight ad-
vance over the wholesale price.
Many of these motorists obtained eX-
cellent turkeys at 80 and 35 cents.

LAY UP AUTOS ON ICY DAYS
BAY STATE OFFICIAL ADVISES

In announcing tonight that nine
r teen persons were killed in auto
mobile accidents in Massachusetts
last week, George A. Parker, Regis
trar of Motor Vehicles, said that
weather conditions, snow, sleet and
ice, contributed largely to these ac-
cidents, but that speed too fast for
conditions" was the primary cause.
These are days." he added,
when weather conditions are such
that it is only plain common sense
to leave the auto in the garage and
ride safely in train or trolley car.
Il is foolhardy to go out, pleasure
bent, to drive on ice-covered roads,"
