Seafoods From Fergus
Market To Be Featured
At The Cooking School

All you ladies that will be at
tending the annual StarNews Cook
ing school to be held at the High
school this week are interested in
how to plan and prepare more
tasty, attractive and wholesome
meals, that is your purpose in at
tending the school. In plan
ming her course of demonstrations
and lectures Miss Ruth Chambers
the Cooking school authority or
meats of all kinds, has personally
visited the Eldridge Fergus Seafood
market and selected fish to be used
in her demonstrations.
Having been in business here for
the past year, this market has
steadily grown in popularity with
the high quality of their fish, and
reasonableness in prices and quick
ness in deliveries. For the last sew
eral months Fergus has made VIII
mington housewives more 'fillet
conscious" The majority of fish
they sell today is as fillets. The
popularity of buying fish this way
lies in the fact they take extreme
care to prepare. fish just the way
you like it. Fergus fish fillets are
scaled cleaned and completely
boned. Though a pound of fillet
usually equals at least two pounds
of whole fish the price per pound
is only slightly higher than the pei
pound price for whole fish. 1t def
nitely is cheaper and less trouble
some to buy fish fillets.
Certain types of fish can be had
at certain seasons of the year, we
all understand that but regardless
of the season Fergus can give you
one of the most complete varieties
obtainable. Particularly good al
this time are rocks, founder, trout
shad, mackerel, red fin croaker
sea-bream. black fish, mullets, drum
and shad roe. Call 29S5 for any
size fish you want. Our fish are
Just as fresh as any you might
catch today and cook tonight" said
Mr.. Fergus, in contradicting a pop
ular belief that most fish market
stock is days old or comes from a
cold storage plant.
Regular shipments are received
daily from leading fish houses. In
cluded in these shipments are select
clans, Stump Sound and Chesa
peake Bay oysters, crabmeat ane
shrimp. "Our Stump Sound selects
are very flavory," said Mr.. Fergus
"but our best oyster is the large
Chesapeake Bay. So large are
these delectable oysters that it takes
only seventeen to fill a pint con
tainer. Here is an oyster unlike
any other you have ever eaten
when you attend the Cooking
school we ask that you notice par

Two Ships Rush Loading
OF Scrap Iron for Japan
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. H.
Longshoremen rushed loading Of
two Greek freighters with scrap
iron for Japan early today in face
of a new city ordinance against 1t
and an appeal to President Roose-
welt to halt them.
The freighters Anna M. Goulan-
dris and Evi Livanos sought to stow
their cargo and sail before the mid
night Tuesday deadline on scrap
shipment from this country.
Port authorities estimated the
shipments to be worth 100000.
City Council late yesterday. pref
acing its action with statement
that public sentiment here against
the shipment might cause demon
stration, approved an ordinance pro-
hibiting sale or shipment "of scrap
iron or metal junk for foreign ex-
port" No immediate effort at en-
forcement was made.
Earlier, the city commission sent
a telegram to the President, signed
by Chairman Ernest E. Anders,
urging appropriate action" and de-
claring 'it might produce strikes or
riots unless loading is stopped
promptly"
