PERS: This is the season when
smart housewives head down to
Center Market City for the
freshest, dewiest produce they're
likely to find outside of a garden.
Here's what's on hand for this
week end: Asparagus is cheaper
than it has BEEN. and it's in
plentiful supply-coming in from
California. Biggest demand right
now Ii for sugar corn and straw
berries, and you'll find plenty Of
both. Sugar corn is arriving
daily from Florida and straw
berries are daily arrivals from
Carolina.
Green peas make wonderful
eating for spring dinners, but
they are not the cheapest vege-
tables you're likely to find. But
they're worth the price-for
fresh garden peas are q delight!
II you'd like to serve crab
gumbo one night soon, okra is
here from Florida (see news be-
low for prices on crab meat.
Both white and red new potatoes
are plentiful, as are new turnips
and beets.
Carolina iceberg and Boston
lettuce Is here for the week end.
Peppers and cucumbers both con-
tinue to be a bit high, though.
Tomatoes are now coming in by
the pound instead of by the box.
A few grapes are arriving from
South America, and Cuba is
sending in pineapples.
The more plentiful fruits and
vegetables are naturally the less
expensive ones, and as the sea-
son progresses you'll find prices
on both fruits and vegetables In
season going down.
But somehow or other, there's
nothing to match the luxury of
. fruit or q vegetable q bit OF
season (there is no such thing
as out-of-season any more, what
with today's markets.. Straw
berries In March taste twice as
good as Strawberries in May!
30 make out your market list,
shop the fruit and vegetable
stands In the market this week
end. You'll find plenty Of good
values for spring meals.
Il Il X
GOOD NEWs-Shad is plenti-
full and Is cheaper than 1t was
last week. Boned shad has also
come down In price, but shad
roe continues to be q bit scarce
cold water has something to
do with that. As long as the
water is cold, the less large roe
is available.
You'll find plenty Of red snap
per for Fridays meals, and crab
meat has come down In price,
too.
So, seafood is a good bet for

OUR DUTY TO THE BOY SCOUTS

1. The things that lot of grown
men now carelessly do, is because
Christianity and Boy Scouting have
been denied their just due.
2. 1t is not that these two insti-
tutions have failed in their test; but
because too many so-called citizens
have failed to do their best.
8. They gave neither time nor
their money in any effort to inspire
youth, and now are surprised that
like weeds they have grown tough
and uncouth.
4. These boys took what those re-
fused to give; so far from being
enough, that many decided on a
wrong career and began to bruise
and cuff.
5. Today, the fight is desperate,
but not beyond our control, if you
and our dollars and good sense
toward Boy Scout movements be-
gin to unfold.
6. The life of boyhood is very
short; his manhood tedious and long
- you must help him early in his
youthful years If you want him to
grow powerful and strong.
Z. A dollar now and a dollar then,
is too cheap to place on a boys life
more time is needed in his behalf
to save him from a gangster's knife.
s. You and have the power to
change thistle into flowers and t
lift men spiritually dead; then why
wait until boys are hardened crimi'
nails before you help them to be
properly led?
8. Our obligation then to youth
is a daily charge to keep, and tc
scatter the best along their way
