The board, according to previous
arrangement asking for bids for

schools in the several counties, both
white and colored, received such
bids and the awards for the same
will be made after the bids have
been tabulated, there being a large
number of bidders from all over the
State.

with DR.. Holloway, State Superin-
tendent of instruction will visit Sell
byville this week and look over pro-
posed sites for the new building and
report back to the State at a meet
ing to be held within the next two
weeks.
The State Board voted to advance
sufficient funds to complete the
school work at Newark.
The situation as to the water sup
ply at Rose Hill school in New
Castle county, after being reported
by A. ]. Taylor, engineer, was refer
red to the members of the State
Board from New Castle county to
confer with the Board of Water
Commissioners of the City of Will
mington as to what arrangements
could be made for supplying city
water to the school. The school is
located over mile from the city
limits.
The question of new auditorium
and gymnasius at the Newark High
School was referred to DR.. Holloway
and Engineer Taylor to investigate
and report at the next meeting of
the State Board.
The remaining part of the after
noon session of the State Board was
taken up in consideration of the
State building program, discussing
more particularly those localities
where new schools are mostly need
ed.
After a lengthy discussion over
the Frankford-Dagsb situation,
the board instructed the secretary
to write the Frankford-Dagsboro
School Board to hold an election
within 80 days for the selection of
a school commission according to
the provisions of the State school
law, and that if such an election is
not held or the trustees are unwill-
ing to hold such an election that the
State board contemplates dissolving
the consolidation between the two
towns and make proposition to
each town for the erection of an ele-
mentary school building in each
place.
Money was previously allocated to
this district for the erection of
new high school, but a failure to
agree on a site caused the State
Board to allocate that amount of
money to another district in Sussex
county thereby causing the Frank
ford -Dagsboro district to lose its
chance in getting new building

SECOND SECTION
Produce Market Notes

The active demand for watermel-
Ons and cantaloupes toward the
close of July strengthened prices
slightly. Lettuce also sold higher
largely because of the scarcity OF
good quality stock. Prices were
much lower for such produce as po-
tatoes, onions and peaches. Part of
the decline in peach prices was due
to- the rapidly increasing carlot
movement. Generally slow demand
tended to depress onion prices.
Carlot shipments of some 81 lead
ing fruits and vegetables are some
what greater than a year ago. Po-
tatoes led the carlot output with s.
,26O cars, the third week of July, fol-
lowed by watermelons with ALSO
and peaches with 2,915. Tomato
shipments continued rather heavy
with total of nearly, 1000 cars.
Potato Shipments Heavy
Potato markets were reported
rather weak after the middle of July
under continued heavy supplies.
Nearly two-thirds of the carlot
movement was coming from the
Eastern Shore of Virginia. Total
output from that section at the close
of the third week of the month had
reached approximately $4,000 cars,
which is about 1000 less than at the
same time last season. Local ship
pers estimated that from 80 to 80
per cent of the crop had been NOV
ed and predicted a total movement
of between $4,000 and 10000 cars.
The crop in Maryland has been var
ieusly estimated at $500 to 1000
cars. Most of the standard grade
stock remaining in Virginia and
Maryland is likely to be shipped by
the end of the month, as New Jer-
sey potatoes are expected to offer
Considerable competition in early
August. The prospect of lighter
shipments, together with continued
satisfactory demand, tended to
strengthen prices slightly. Most
growers who have been holding for
higher prices seem to see few indi-
cations of any great improvement in
the potato market this season and
have decided to harvest their crop.
Distribution of shipments continues
good. Nearly one-third of the cur
rent movement has been billed west
of Pittsburgh. A few cars have gone
to southern points and the remain
der to the Atlantic and New England
States.
Even at the extremely low price
of SLIPS a barrel for potatoes from
the Eastern Shore of Virginia and
Maryland, trading in the Baltimore
market has been dull. Jobbers in
New. York City paid from 50 to $2.25
and in Pittsburgh and Boston sales
were reported as high as $2.4O to
$3.50 per barrel. Opening prices of
the season on New Jersey Cobblers
were $1.5O per 1OO-pound sack in
New York City.
Onion Prices Decline
In spite of the fact that onion
is only about half as
heavy as a year ago at this time.
prices continued to slant downward.
Rather limited demand in many of
Milford chronicle., 1931-07-31

the leading city markets was a de-
pressing factor. New Jersey yellow
onions in bushel hampers and So
pound sacks sold at a range of 90C
to 81 in Boston and Washington.
Stock from Orange County, New
York, brought SLIPS to $1.75 per
hundred pounds in New York City.
Lettuce Selling Higher
Prices of lettuce advanced quite
generally in late July. A wide
range of prices was recorded on
sales of New York Big Boston type,
covering extremes of 75c to $1.75 a
crate of two dozen heads. The low
point of the range was in New York
City and top price was recorded at
Chicago. New York was forward
ing fully one-third of the entire car
lot output the third week of July,
shipping as many as 81 cars some
days.
The Eastern Shore cucumber sea-
son is practically finished. Many
growers abandoned their fields when
the cash price dropped as low as
15c to 25c a bushel. Shipments to
date are about one-fourth heavier
than to the same time year ago.
CantalOupe Markets Firm
A sharp decrease in the carlot
movement of cantalOupes, as we'll as
improved demand, tended to streng-
then the city market prices of canta-
lOupes. California Salmon Tints
sold at general range of 50 to So
per standard crate at distributing
centers. Eastern cities quoted
North Carolina melons at 75c to
$1.75 per crate. Flat crates of Mary
land and Delaware stock brought
into New York City by motor truck
sold at SOC to SLIPS, according to
the number of melons in the con-
tainer. Moderate shipments were
expected from the section around
Salisbury, Maryland, the last week
of July and peak movement is like
ly to occur near the 10th of August.
Peach Shipments Heavy
About three times as many pea
ches moved to market the third
week of July as during the previous
week. Georgia forwarded 2O40
cars. slightly more than two-thirds
of the weeks output. Limited trad
ing was reported at southern ship
ping points and generally weaker
markets. Medium size Elberta pea
ches sold at zoe to 75c per six-bas-
ket carrier in the Macon district of
Georgia. Jobbing sales in eastern
centers were reported at
81 to So per six-basket carrier and
soc to $1.50 per busheI. Pennsylva-
mia Red Birds, standard grade and
size. brought top prices of SO to
$3.50 per bushel in New York City.
A wide price range of 25c to $1.75
a bushel covered sales of summer
apples in eastern markets. Delaware
and New Jersey Yellow Transpar-
ents were quoted mostly at 75c to
SLIPS a bushel in the East. Delaware
was shipping about 20 cars Of apples
daily the latter part of July and a
few cars each were reported from
Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Virginia and West Virginia.

an, vice president of the Penn's
Grove club.
The vocational service of Rotary
was brilliantly described at consiG-
cradle length by c. D. GarretsOn, of
Wilmington, who has spent many
months in England and the Cont
nent on business.
Former District Governor Samuel
c. Schumacher, of West Chester club,
outlined thoroughly the principles
of Rotary. ]. Roscoe Elliott of Lau-
rel and J. Wallace Woodford, Mayor
of Dover, and leader of the club
there, spoke on other aspects of Ro-
tary work.
The executive assembly being vir-
tually a training school for the new
presidents and secretaries of the
more than 20 clubs in the 50th Dis
trict of Rotary International, most
of the discussion and instruction
was centeIed about the idea of help
ing the officers grasp the broad out
lines of Rotary work, and obtain in
formation on the various projects
which the clubs throughout the
world is undertaking.
Former District Governor, DR..
Charles A. Half; Josiah Sleeper, who
has been secretary of the Chester
Club for number of years; George
0. Fearon, secretary of the George
town Club, host to the assembly, and
others, including Frank Jones, help
ed to make the first days delibera-
tions successful.
Especial praise was given to Mr..
Fearon, who directed the details in
cidental to the planning of the exec
utive assembly; and to newly-elect-
ed District Governor e. Paul Burk-
holder, who has recently returned
from the convention of Rotary In
ternational at Vienna, Austria, as
have many presidents of clubs.
The address of welcome was given
by j. Edward Goslee, of Stockley,
president of the host club. The re-
sponse for the Pennsylvania clubs
representative was made by Fred
Weindel, president of the Allentown
club, while John D. Booth, secretary
of the Camden club, responded for
the New Jersey clubs. Former At
torney Frank M. Jones, of George
town, was a speaker.
The morning sessions, at which
District Governor Burkholder pre-
sided, were for the instruction of the
presidents and secretaries recently
elected to serve during the ensuing
Rotary fiscal year.
The women of host clubs arrang-
ed an interesting and entertaining
program Of activities for them. Most
of the visiting women enjoyed in
formal swimming in the forenoon,
and later were entertained at lun-
cheon. Following luncheon some of
the women played bridge, while
others golfed on the Rehoboth Coun-
try Club links.
On Tuesday District Governor
Burkholder, who is supervisor of 1u-
raj schools in Sussex county, and
who returned recently from the Ro-
tary World Convention in Vienna,
discussed the governors contact
with the clubs in the district as re-
CARDS the monthly letter, the official
visits and the inter-city meetings. |
The district conference plans were
also discussed and some of the de- |
tails worked out. The district con-
which probably will be at
tended by 1000 Rotarians. will meet |
in Atlantic City next April.

Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

A gift from the Greeks, this
peplum frock. Showing the
same appreciation of line and
symmetry which marked. the
coliseum and their Statuary.
Proving too, that beauty en-
dures. Women of ancient
Greece wore gowns of sculp-
tured simplicity, sometimes
catching up the fabric with a
narrow belt and forming a
short hip drapery. This we
have come to know as
"peplum."
Modern couturiers have been
quick to adapt this mode to
modern fashions. For the
type is universally becoming.
Hiding that embarrassing full
ness that waist lines sometimes
emphasize, and lovely on slim,
girlish types.
This frock is lace. in a spider
web design. and COM
pleting that illusion, in soft
grey. Grey is springs favorite
color. Lace doesn't muss easily,
so it's just the thing to pop
in a weekend bag. And any
one can wear grey, even if it
takes a bit more rouge to
make it becoming. Hand fin
ishing makes the gown look
much more expensive than
it is.
Miss L:.Ville will gladly
answer any question about this
frOCk or any fashion problems.
