Delaware Food Market
Report
BY ANNE HOLBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service,
University of Delaware

The Best Choice i'm Eggs is the
medium size in most stores this
week. AS more young laying chick
ems come into fall production, un-
usually large supplies of smaller
sizes of eggs reach the market.
The prices on the medium eggs
have declined to a point well below
their value in relation to the large
size.
Young Delmarya Chicken sup
plies remain abundant and retail
prices have dropped another cent
since the first of the month. Sep
tember provides some of the best
opportunities of the year for COM
Portable and enjoyable outdoor
barbecues, and many homemakers
are using this fine opportunity to
have chicken head the menu. For
indoor eating, too, chicken is a
favorite meat this month.
Beef prices moved 2 cents to 212
cents higher last week for the
choice grade, but many excellent
values still are found. Inexpen-
siVe stew meat again becomes a
fine choice as the weather turns
cooler and fall vegetables become
more plentiful. Chuck cuts in most
cases have not advanced in price
with the others and are still wise
choice. Some pork cuts have risen
sharply in price since last week,
the most important advance being
one of 3 cents to cents per
pound on chops and other loin
cuts. .pring lamb also is as much
as cents per pound higher.
Shoulder cuts of lamb and veal
have remained fairly steady in
price, however, and include many
OF the best buys this week.
Fall Apples are appearing in To-
cal stores at very reasonable
prices. The Red Delicious variety
is most satisfactory for dessert
purposes. Mcintosh and Jona-
thans are fine for freezing as well
as desserts. The Grimes Golden
variety and the Staymans also
make good 'applesauce. Other
fruits and vegetables from local
producing areas likewise offer
homemakers economy plus high
quality this week. Among them
are: tomatoes, cabbage, corn, egg
plant, peaches, onions, and beans,
both snap and lima.
Tuna Fish, packed in oil, is in
heavy supply. Many stores are
featuring low prices and the time
is right for restocking the pantry.
You can have fun trying tempting
new tuna dishes this fall if you
write to the Tuna Research Foun-
dation, Ferry Building, Terminal
Island, California, for their color

To Waive Interest

OTTAWA, Dec. 5 (R.-The
Canadian government said last
night it is ready to forgo the
1856 interest payment of 1922
million due from Britain on a
1916 loan provided the United
States takes similar action on
the British United States loan.
Finance Minister Walter Har-
ris added in a statement. how
ever, that there appeared to be
some difficulty in the United
States freeing Britain of an
$81.S million interest payment
due December 81.
If the difficulties cannot be
ironed out. he said, the Canadian
government will decide on its
own what action should be
taken by Canada"
Federal authorities said that
if the United States Congress
balks in granting waivers to
Britain, Canada might require
a special act of Parliament to
free Britain of the Canadian
interest payment.

SeIwyn Lloyd Appears :
Lost Without Eden's Aid

LONDON. Dec. (R.-John
Selwyn Lloyd rose in the House
of Commons this week to an
nounce a humiliating decision,
the withdrawal Of British troops
from Egypt.
AS he read from his prepared
statement a red glow spread over
his face. Labor Party hecklers
interrupted him-and the vet
eran of thousands of public
speeches lost his place in his
manuscript
Probably nothing in public life
has shaken the 52-year-old For
eign Secretary as have events of
the last four weeks.
His icy composure has cracked.
His lawyers tongue has slipped.
The confidence that some for
eign diplomats had In. him has
been strained. To many. he has
seemed to be a man who misses
on-the-spot guidance from his
mentor. the absent Prime Min
lister Eden.
Brilliant Administrator
Most thoughtful Britons con-
slider Lloyd a brilliant chief of
staff rather than a supreme
commander who can create
policy. He has a keen mind, an
ability to grasp and sort out de-
tail. He has patience, tenacity
of character and a great ca
pacity for work. But he has yet
to show the imaginative quail
ties that make a great foreign
minister.
One reason could be that Sir
Anthony, with his abiding in
terest and long background in
foreign affairs, tended to over
shadow him. and some say sec
ond-gueSs him, in international
affairs.
Mr.. Lloyd'S subordination to
Sir Anthony and the respect he
commands as a person have
blunted some of the criticism he
might have expected as Foreign
Secretary at a time of national
humiliation.
After he announced the with
drawal, one embittered Conserv-
alive MP said pointedly to Mr.
Lloyd in the House: "You are
one Of the few people we can
believe in at the present mo-
ment."
Feels Failures Deeply

go onto Israel tomorrow to dis
cuss Israeli plans for pulling out
of the Sinai Peninsula.
Demonstrations Avoided
The best estimate in Port Said
was that the two to three
weeks" withdrawal estimate had
been announced mainly to avert
any premature demonstrations
by local Egyptians, and that Port
Said would wake one morning
soon to find the last Of the
British and French troops sud-
denly gone.
Port Said shops were doing
business once more today after
shutting down yesterday on
orders from Egyptian ''intimida-
ton squads" who sought to spike
British demands for reopenings.
Where yesterday the streets were
all but deserted of Egyptians,
sidewalk cafes had tables and
chairs out again and the general
feeling was one of excited antic-
ipation.
