Fruit and vegetable shipments
continued in late August at the rate
Of not far above 10000 carloads g
week, and a little below the same
time last year. Changes the third
week of August included a further
drop of about one-half from the week
before in melon movement. and mod
crate further decreases for oranges
and lettuce. More peaches, peas
sweet potatoes. onions, cucumbers,
celery, caulif1ower and carrots were
shipped and there were sharp in
creases for tomatoes. plums. and
prunes. also nearly one-fourth more
potatoes. Fruit and vegetable ship
ments for the season are not far from
5 percent larger than last season to
date, reports the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics.
Trading movement in the large
city markets was still generally slow
and draggy. The moderate supplies
of nearby produce covered most of
the demand for some lines of fruits
and vegetables. Heavy rains the
fourth week of August caused let
up in marketing and brought some
probably temporary price recoveries.
Growing condition of many lines
OF truck crops is still above that of
a year ago. Production of late-crop
vegetables is indicated approximately
one-sixth larger than last season
and about one-fifth above the 5-year
average. The late onion crop is the
main exception. heavy rainfall hav-
ing cut down output in some areas.
Most lines of produce which are
drawing toward the close of their
active season are gaining slightly
in price. but fruits and vegetables
intended for late fall and winter
marketing show generally declining
trend, interrupted by temporary
gains due to local marketing and de-
mand conditions.
Eastern caulifiower still sells at
$3.50 to $1.75 per pony crate. New
York celery holds recent price gains,
selling at s1.25 to $1.75 per crate.
New York and other eastern lettuce
brings 75c to $3.50 per eastern crate,
holding recent price advances.
Western lettuce is about steady at
SO to 81 per crate.
Little Change I'm Apples
Eastern apple markets continue
dull with little improvement from
low price levels. mostly
Soc to 75c per bushel for such va
rieties as Duchess and Wealthy.
New York quotes early arrivals Of
Mcintosh at s1.25 to s1.75. Apple
prices at New York and Chicago so
far have been considerably lower
with last year and this
situation is expected by many deal
ers TO continue although consuming
demand seems likely to be better
his season. Such a large share of
he crop is within easy shipping dis
ance of the great markets that con-
irued liberal supplies are indicated. |
Chicago reports moderate supplies |
md a few price gains for varieties
showing high market quality and |
condition. and market level of some |
'iraeties is little higher than in |
he East
Peach production is expected to
Iverage about 10 percent larger than
he 5-year average and one-fourth
Ibove the small crop of last year.
Host markets still have liberal sup
,lies. shipments are rather heavy,
md trade generally slow. Elbertas

INJURY
NOT SERIOUS

Senator Joseph F. Guffey OF
Pennsylvania today was reported
resting comfortably at Emergency
Hospital and in no serious condi-
ton from the rib fracture and
bruises ne received when his cab
collided with a truck yesterday at
Second Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue Northwest.
Despite a heavy toll of minor
traffic accidents during the night,
Washington's traffic deaths still
stood at SO as 1886 went into
history. The last fatality of the
year was recorded December %,
when Policeman Ernest Grissett
died. The years record was 13
less than 1885 figures.
Police declared that the traffic
injuries of the holiday eve and
morning we're confined mainly to
motor cars. Crushed tenders were
numerous and many were the
bumpers that became entangled
as traffic piled up on the buster
arteries.
According to police reports, no
serious personal injuries were re-
ported until 2 a. M, when a col
ored woman was struck by an
automobile. She was Effie Harris,
%, of 1880 Corcoran st. N. w.,
and at Freedman's Hospital her
condition was undetermined. Po-
lice records stated the driver of
the automobile was George R.
Keys, colored, of the 1900 block
of Kingman Pl. N. w.

Hindered by lack of facilities,
the Boys Club of washington has
nevertheless been able to give
many deserving boy the "break"
that has started him up the
ladder of success.
In the fields of science, govern
ment, the professions and business,
members of boys clubs have made
their mark.
Charles M. Fyfe, managing di-
rector of the club, pointed out that
his files Of past members contains
the names of many prominent
WaShingtonians who once made
the club their social and recrea-
tional headquarters.
It is such information that has
spurred local civic leaders to the
realization of the value of Boys
Clubs.
New Club to Aid
The new club which will be built
at Seventeenth st. and Massa-
chusetts Ave. S. E., is expected to
add to the roster of successful men,
who can trace their first victories
back to the club movement.
Frank R. Jelleff, president of
the board of directors of the
Boys Club of Washington, is
more interested in building up a
positive reaction among boys and
making them good citizens and
successful men than the mega
tive picture Of reducing crime
and boy delinquency.
The second consideration will
follow the accomplishment of the
first. he holds.
And the construction of the
new Southeast club, which was
made possible by the contributions
of virtually only two persons, Mr..
Jelleff and Mrs. Eleanor Patter-
son, publisher of the Washington
Herald, will, it is hoped, lead the
way in a comprehensive boys
club program throughout the city.
Although the boys club move
ment has a direct relationship
with the reduction of boy de-
linquency, Mr.. Fyfe is more
eager to speak of the accomplish.
ments of former members.
Club Is Stimulus
There is little likelihood that
these boys would have turned to
crime, even had they not had 81
boys club. On the other hand,
it is highly probable that they
would not have achieved the de.
gree of success which is theirs

John w. Hunefeld, the world
traveller and house painter who
single-handed keeps up the old
tradition of a White House recep-
ton on New Year Day, nailed an
other visit to his record today
and arrived at the White House
before the President was up and
about. To be exact Mr.. Hunefeld
turned into the Executive Office
driveway at $40 and by 8:45 had
been officially greeted for the
twelfth time by Lieut.. Larry"
Seaman, o. the White House police
force. Mr.. Hunefeld started in
1925 to be the first man in line
at the Coolidge New Year recep-
tions-and ever since then he has
arrived at the White House before
any others on New Year Day, and
recently, since the New Year re-
ceptions have been cancelled, Mr..
Hunefeld has been the only man
to arrive.
All Greet Him
But when he arrived today he
was greeted by all and sundry.
Colonel Startling, head of the White
House Secret Service, came out
and gave him a strong Kentucky
handshake, and other attaches Of
the Presidents office who would
not know it was the New Year
without Mr.. Hunefeld, gave him a

NOISY CROWDS
PACK STREETS,
CLUBS, HOTELS
Police Prove Lenient
But Are Kept Busy;
S.R.O. Signs Out

History's pen, linked with the
fresh spirits of 1887, began writ
ing a new chapter today, the
first entry probably reading some
thing like this:
January l, 1937-There was
big dOings last night"
In Americas Capital city,
everybody agrees that, indeed, it
was a large and noisy night Of
revelry" Participants, police and
proprietors of the citys hotels
and night clubs concur unani-
mously on the point.
Long before the clock hands en-
braced in scissor fashion to clip
the last life thread of 1886, Wash
ington's streets. clubs and hotels
were crowded with merrymakers.
At the stroke of IL, bedlam
reigned. At dawn. the din had
ceased.
Police Work Hard
Largest of the public celebra-
tions were held in the Capitals
hotels and on F Street, where spe-
cial details of police worked vail.
antly but vainly to keep traffic
moving. "Tops" of the private
parties was that staged in the spa
ciouS home of Mrs. Edward Beale
Mclean at Friendship.
At the break of dawn, many Of
Mrs. McLeans guests still remained
within the high walls of the es-
tate. Others had retired to the
Shoreham Hotel, where an entire
floor had been reserved to care for
them.
Theaters were packed to the gal
lery tops and S. R. o. signs dis.
played themselves on every down
town box office. Night club mana
gers turned hundreds away from
their doors, as did hotel proprie-
tors, who several days ago had
closed their reservation lists.
Hold Special Services
In churches throughout the
city special services were held
last night and masses were said
in the city's Catholic churches this
morning.
Police were kept busy through
out the night answering calls of
citizens who found their sleep
disturbed by noisy welcomers of
the New Year, who set UP a loud
cacophony with automobile horns.
whistles and fireworks.
Arrests for drunkenness were
many, but police observed Major
Ernest w. Browns order yester-
day to be tolerant" Only two
precincts, Nos. 7 and 10, reported
no drunk arrests. In all, so per-
sons were arrested as being lin
tolerably" drunk and disorderly,
Most of them were to appear in
Police Court this morning.
No Serious Accidents
Automobile accidents, too, kept
the police busy. No serious mis-.
hapS were reported, but scores Of
motorists tangled bumpers and
tenders as the city's thorough
fares were crowde dwith motorists
many of them out lust to see
the sights"
Traffic signals were kept on dur
ing the night and police who were
to have been off duty at midnight
worked until a. M, and those who
normally report at midnight, went
to work two hours earlier.

THEY'RE ALL GOOD"
Mr.. Hunefeld, who takes keen
interest in affairs of government
said today that while he was a
Republican, coming from Maine
where he worked for the Boston
and Maine railroad, he has voted
for several Democrats in city cleo
tions and cast a vote for Grover
Cleveland when he ran the second
time. He said today:
"Any president we ever had
has been good man. When
he's in office it is up to us to
support him and help him."
Mr.. Hunefeld, who lives at 225
