Let's take time out from the
Safari" to discuss oysters
the season is now getting into
full swing, and with the water
becoming colder, the oysters are
full of favor and plumpness.
To begin with. let's debunk the
age old idea that oysters are
in the R-less months.
You can eat oysters all the year
around with no i'll effects-but the
oysters won't taste as good, for
the summer months are their
spawning season. Also. the oyster
men protect them by leaving them
strictly alone. Along about the
middle of August things begin to

oysters have attached themselves

survive. Also. at this time, the
oystermen start moving the seed

their special beds to grounds re-
served for adults. It takes four or
five years to grow a market oyster.
and they are moved several times
in the interim to insure plumpness
and flavor. The oysters you eat
this season were babies back in
1914 or 1945.

Great oyster shell mounds and
deposits on our shores show that
oysters were enjoyed by the
Indians long before the white men
came to this country.
There Is no better way, in my
opinion, to eat an oyster than
raw, on the half shell, served on
a bed of ice, or shucked for you
at an oyster bar, fresh and
luscious. If you are lucky therell
be tiny crisp oyster crabs in some
of them, to add to the enjoyment.

berry Association. The little red
berry that is as American as the
Liberty Bell has background that
goes way back before the time OF
written records. AS matter OF
fact, it was the Indians who taught
the early Colonists how to use this
berry. When the Pine Tree shilling
was coined in 1877. the settlers
tried to appease the wrath OF
Charles II by sending him 40 bar
rels Of cranberries, two hogshead
of samp and 5000 Goldfish" In those
early days the New England sailors
slowed away barrels of Cape Cod
berries on their vessels when they
took off on long sea voyages and
served them at every meal to pre-
vent the scourge Of scurvy. Since
that time scientists have found
cranberries contain many other
