ACCIDENTS HAPPEN

more important, an analysis of these
statistics can forecast danger per-
iOds. So the Safety Council is now
telling John and Jane that their
chances of accidental death and in
/ jury are considerably greater during
the winter than in any other season
and because nearly one-third of all
fatal accidents occur at home, how
to avoid some of the more common
cold weather accidents centering
around the family hearth.
Two of the more prominent causes
Of home accidents during winter
fire and ice-come readily to mind
as cOmponents of the winter scene.
Icicles forming oneaves often fall as
a person passes under them, so that
it would be wise to knock them
down as they form. Snow left on the
sidewalks and steps becomes pack
ed under foot and forms a hard,
crusted, icy substance which causes
many a spill. The thoughtful person
will shovel off the walk and clear
the porches and steps Of newly fall
len snow. He will remove ice from
all walking surfaces or sprinkle
them with ashes or some gritty sub
stance.
Every family should check its
home for fire hazards. Some Of the
causes are: Wood and other combus-
tible material piled dangerously near
the furnace. Broken hues, which al
low the fame to contact infiamma-
BILE material or the framework in
tine house. Hot ashes carelessly put
near inflammable stuff or in wood
en- box. Clothes suspended over
stove or too close to an open tire
for drying. Clogged fues which pre-
vent escape of poisonous gases. A
wise precaution in this respect. is to
see that rooms are well ventilated
at all times.
The family might well make a
room to room survey. In the living
room these points might be check
ed: Is the heating apparatus prop
erly protected? Is the wood or coal
burning fireplace properly screened
TO prevent sparlIs from popping onto
the floor or rug? What is the condi-
tion Of the electrical appliances? Are
there any paper or combusttle
shades on the electric lights and are
the extension cords TO lamps in safe
condition?
In the kitchen-are there any cur
tains. wooden shelves or paper dec
crations too close to the fame? Are
matches kent well out OF the reach
Of children and away from heat?
Is the garage kept open, and open
vide, when the car is being started
on a cold morning? The danger Of
carbon monoxide is ever present.
Last. and most important Of all, is
lhe home ready for an emergeney?l
Is Il snpplied with a first aid kit and
does the family know how to use Il?

lCOHfiHHed from First PaRe1
Wilmington. Better roads through
the COlored State College grounds
are included and a Stag road south
OF Clayton will afford better trans
POrtatiOn for farm crops to the mar
kets.
The old State road from Delmar
to HeaFns Cross Roads which taps a
prosperous farming section and a
sixteen foot, two mile and half traf-
fic bound link will complete the
highway anxiously awaited by far
mers from the GumbOrO section
reaching the strawberry. tomato and
poultry buying market at SelbyvilIe.
Local farmers will mostly use a
four mile stretch of twelve foot traf-
f1c bound road which will bring
MillsbOro and Stockley buying mar
kets closer to their fields, while six
mile sixteen foot traffic bound road
will complete a hard surfaced road
from WhitesYille IN the lower end OF
Sussex county to Georgetown, the
county seat. Another traffic bound |
road will give a hard road outlet to |
fishermen and farmers from Ben |
nett Pier on the Delaware Bay
through ThOmpsonville to Route 113
and to Milford or Dover markets.
Nearly three miles of traffic bound
road will finish a short cut to points
on the Delaware Bay and to the
at Rehoboth Beach through
Lincoln from Pennington and towns
in Maryland.
Sidewalks at the Stanton school

last month and a year ago. Wiseon-
sin has shipped only half as much
cabbage and New York only two
thirds as much as last season to
date. Movement of new cabbage is
beginning in a small way from the
South. Paintings of fall cabbage in
South Carolina and Virginia increas-
ed IA per cent over last year. Flori-
da, Louisiana and Texas growers ex-
pect to more than double their acre
age Of winter cabbage as compared
with the area actually harvested last
year after the freeze.
Prices of old cabbage are holding
rather firm at SIG to $19 per ton in
bulk in eastern cities and 25c to SOC
per so pounds. Midwestern markets
are firm. Texas cabbage will hardly
be available in quantity until about
the middle Of December.
Eastern carrots are being shipped
in moderate volume. The market has
been dull and there is little change
in price. Topped carrots from New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
sell in eastern cities at SOC to 75c a
bushel. TeYas carrots are late and
no heavy shipments are expected un-
til January. California growers are
increasing the fall crop by % per
cent.
Caulifiower continues to decline
under liberal receipts and prices are
low, mostly Csc to SOC a crate in
eastern markets. Prices at Long Is
land auctions have been averaging
near 40c a crate. The market on
western lettuce dropped about 25c
early in the second week of Novem-
Der and continued at the lower level.
Some tops of S4.75 we're still quoted.
Good eastern lettuce sells mostly
around soc a crate Of 2-dOzen with
extremes of zoe and S5c.
Celery Market Weak
Demand for celery has been slow
in eastern producing sections and
markets weak. Stock from cold stor-
age has been selling in the Roches-
ter. New York, district near So per
q crate. Eastern cities quote S1.75
to $3.50. Philadelphia reports poor
stock and depressed conditions, some
selling as low as 81 to $1.50.
Midwestern celery markets are
steady and California celery, which
is moving very actively has been
selling at steady prices in most mar
kets. Cold storage holdings in wes-
tern New York exceed 100000 crates,
about Is per cent, more than year
ago. The effect Of the smaller crop
in Michigan is partly offset by the
larger acreage IN California.

one mile east Of Lewes, was broken
in two by the storm. A barge, the
Kent, loading fish scraps from the
fisheries plant for Baltimore, was
caught on the pier but was hOated
on Monday morning.
Two members of the crew of the
barge had left to get some food sup
/ plies Sunday and while they were
ashore a section of the pier was
washed away and they we're unable
to return until Monday afternoon.
The barge weathered the storm. It
had about 500 tons of scrap aboard.
About midnight Sunday the wind
shifted from north-northeast to
northwest and began to wane.
Family Threatened
For n while more than $50 famil-
ies in the beach area of Lewes we're
in danger of being isolated when the
road leading to the community was
covered by ten inches Of water for
more than a quarter of a mile.
Branches and twigs were stTewn
over the highways IN many sections
and telephone wires were broken in
several places at Lewes.
Water washed over the boardwalk
at RehobOth Beach, pilings were un-
settled and the walk sagged in
places. Steps near the anglers pier
we're damaged. Water washed to
within ten feet of the cottage of Mrs.
j. Simpson Dean and waves washed
into Silver Lake during the height
of the storm Sunday night.
Coast Guards at Henlopen report
cd the bridge over Indian River and
the banks of the inlet badly dam
aged.
Bridge Damage Slight
Damage to highways and bridges
in the State was slight, W. W. Mack,
chief engineer of the State Highway |
Department, said. Some smaller |
bridges, damaged by the storm Of
last summer, sustained additional /
damage Sunday night, but it was not
serious.
The bridge over Indian River In
let was closed until Monday morn
ing. Highway crews filled in sections
of the approaches which had been
washed by high waves.
The roadway between Bethany
Beach and the National Guard camp
was under several inches of water
Monday morning but was passable.
Damage to telephone lines was not
serious. The trunk line from Lewes
to Georgetown was broken Sunday
night but repaired Monday. Several
private telephones and some Of the
street lights in Lewes went out when
falling branches broke wires.

CROPS IN STATE
ABOVE AVERAGE
YIELD This YEAR
[Contiuned from First Psgel

Late potato yields are much lower
than earlier expected. The total
yield is now estimated at 100 bush
els per acre as compared with 120
bushels last year. and the 10-year
average of SO bushels. The estimat-
ed production is 100000 bushels.
Last years crop was 100000 bushels.
The average is 414,0OO bushels.
Sweet potato yields are below
those of last year or the 10-year
average. The estimated production
of 100000 bushels compares with
$4,000 bushels harvested a year ago
and the 5-year average of $4,000
bushels
Milk produced per milk cow on
November 1 in herds kept by crop
reporters was 1870 pounds. The No
vember 1 average a year ago was
1874 pounds, and the November
average for the period 1925-1932 was
1873 pounds.
The average number of eggs laid
per 100 hens on November l in the
farm fiocks OF crops correspondents
was 21.4. This was slightly below
the number on November l year
ago but above the average for that
date

PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Most Of the standard lines of pro-
duce were steady to firm near the
middle of November, holding most
of the advances made during the
early part of the month. The potato
| and onion markets quieted down a
| little after the previous advances but
undertOne appeared rather confident.
/ Celery prices continued about steady,
also eastern lettuce but prices of
western lettuce lost a little Of the
previous gains Apple markets show
little change.
CarlOt shipments of northern
fruits and vegetables are steadily de-
creasing and are somewhat below
the volume of last year. Movement
of potatoes and onions were stimu-
lated for a while by the rising prices
but were slowing down again the
second week of November.
The November crop reports show
severe loss in most leading western
and midwestern potato sections and
some reduction in the East, although
the crop in Maine is turning out a
little larger than expected a month
ago. Reports from southern truck
crop sections show many increases
in actual or intended production OF
fall and winter uew-crop vegetables.
a feature is the large gain in intend
ed early southern paintings of pota-
toes and onions, indicating much
competition during the later part Of
the late northern season. Condition
reports on most southern crops are
generally fair to good and there was
some improvement for potatoes and
Strawberries as compared with the
month before.
Apple Markets Steady
Leading markets report moderate
supply of apples and generally
steady prices. Baldwin sell mostly at
CSC to 75c a bushel in eastern cities.
Best Mcintosh bring $1.25 to $3.50,
occasionally $1.75. Best Northern
Spys have been selling at 81 to $3.50.
Slow steady markets are reported in
southern producing sections with
moderate demand. !
Sales Of cold storage Yorks in the
Winchester section at $3.50 indicate
some improvement in storage posi-
tion, also sales of Stayman above 81
a bushel pack. The Pacific North
western market has been advancing
slowly since reports Of crop injury,
and Winesaps bring $1.10 to $1.15 at
points. Dealers in western
New York are expecting better de-
mand for apples because of losses to
the northwestern crop.
Domestic trade is rather slow in
the Rochester district but there is
moderate demand for export, includ-
ing some sales of Ben Davis at 81 to
$3.50 per barrel. Eastern markets
1uOte New York and Pennsylvania
Baldwins 60c to 75c and Greening
75c to 81. Many growers and ship
Ders are reported holding for higher
prices. Demand for cider stock is de-
,reasing and prices are slightly low
r.. Midwestern markets show little
change.
The cranberry market has been
shifting from the small early varie-
les to the large late kinds and
prices have been rising The crop is
Yellow average quantity although
arger than last year. Improvement
n the Wisconsin croD has been on
et by less favorable conditions in
lew Jersey. Massachusetts, late va-
ieties sell at S3.25 to $3.50 in Bos-
on. but have reached tops Of $4 to
4.50 in Baltimore and New York.

tiOns except Michigan, have shipped
more grapes than last season. Prices
lately have ranged 35c to 40c per
12-quart basket for ConcOrds in the
East and Middle West.
Demand for oranges is fairly ac-
tive. Eastern and midwestern cities
report jObbing range of 1925 to
S4.75 per box. Orange shipments
from Florida have Jagged consider
ably although production is fairly
close to that Of last season. Texas
shippers are waiting for cooler wea-
ther to improve favor Of the fruit.
Supplies of eastern pears have
been light recently and many of only
fair to poor quality. Bartletts and
Seckels have been selling at $3.50 to
$3.50 per bushel in New York and
Kieffers near 81.
Potatoes Steady To Firm
Prices of potatoes continued to
advance during the first week of the
AA1AMA 0AAA MGAC AAOol Vi AAAN
gains on a steady to firm basis in
mid-November. The decrease of over
1l.50O,000 bushels in the November
estimate of production for the 80 late
shipping states lent support to the
market. Most Of the decreases occur
red in New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Idaho. while slight gains were re-
ported in Maine and some parts of
the West. Some further loss is pos
sible this month from decay in stOr-
age.
Eastern potatoes have risen faster
than those in the Middle West un-
der the leadership of the market
boom in Maine potatoes. which are
a light crop and selling at $3.50 to
50 in eastern cities. Pennsylvania
stock was quoted at $1.40 to 50 for
good quality. Chicago market declin-
ed a little but was recovering toward
the middle of the month. Midwestern
markets in general were firm.
Sales in midwestern producing
sections averaged slightly above 81,
compared with S1.3O to $1.45 in wes-
tern New York and northern Maine.
Far western shipping points quote
fairly steady prices. Growers in wes-
tern New York are receiving SOC to

EVERY DAY THANKSGIVING DAY

Sweet It is to see the sun
Shining on Thanksgiving Day,
Sweet it is to see the snow.
Fall as if it came to stay;
Sweet is everything that comes,
For all makes cheer, Thanksgiving
Day.
Fine is the pantry's goOdly store.
And fine the heaping dish ana

Fine the church-bells ringing; nne
All the dinners great array,
Things we'd hardly dare to touch
Were it not Thanksgiving Day.
Dear the people coming home,
Dear glad faces long away.
Dear the merry cries, and dear
All the glad and happy play.
Dear the thanks, too, that we give
For all of this Thanksgiving Day.

girls count up what they have
taken in and put It in the treasury
as "velvet." It's good thing they
don't charge for their time and
the physical toll and the nervous
energy.
Out at my place in the country
we have had some big parties. most
ly for city visitors. They want fried
chicken 'springers," with an unlim-
tied number of helpings at 30 cents
a plate. For the chicken and
noodles or roast fowl you can work
In the venerable hens, but you can
not cheat on the fried variety. The
local sisters whoOped the fried
chicken rate to so cents a year
ago, then slid It up to Is cents
and later On, finding that the city
trade was big-hearted, made 1t
dollar a head. With a hundred mo-
torlsts on a reliability run. all ar
irving at one time, the sisters be-
gan to handle important money. On
the day Of the noOn-day feed for
the Gidden tour outfit the receipts
were $3.50, which represented the
high mark. Much Of this amount
was contributed by the motorists
who insisted that the dinner was
worth more than a dollar.
After many years experience
with city visitors and numerous
conferences with the women pro-
viders, l think l have discovered
the menu which will always make a
hit with the consumers.
The grand motif or theme song
Of the production is fried chicken
taken entirely apart and served
hot and MOSTLY tender. No armOr
plate.
Mashed potatoes or new spuds
with their jackets on. hand in hand
with OOdles and OOdles Of glblet
gravy.
Small. light. FUZZY rolls. No "sOdy
biscuit"
For the second vegetable. corn on
the cob or fresh garden peas or
tender Juvenile string beans. de-
pending on the season.
Fresh beets. Always In demand.
Overlooked by most caterers.
Fresh leaf lettuce "wllted" with
hot bacon juice and a little vine-
gar. Those addicted to this old
fashioned salad rave about it.
For dessert. ice cream and cake.
or pie a Ia mode. Cherry pie al
ways makes a ten-strike. That or

Please take note that the pre-
lIminary "fruit cOcktall'' Is omit

heir fried chicken as soon as the
bell rings. This menu. bordered
with some jells and preserves. may
be repeated over and over. and

hem. They cannot be served as a

What the visitors take. II they can
