Puerto Rico


Puerto Rico is reckoning the
tourist dollar this year with q
come-on season that includes
the works-from game fishing
to the smell Of coffee and the
exuberance of lenten festivals
The professional baseball
season runs through February
for those travelling fans who
miss their television screens al
home or the bleacher seat and
the FL Commandante Race
Track at San Juan should fill
the needs Of racing enthusi-
aSts.
The coffee comes in when
the fruit from the plants Is
harvested in the mountainous
areas of the island. If you like
sugar, you'll have to wait. The
dark plumes of smoke from
leaves being burnt off the tasty
stalks won't start rising in the
air until the six-month harvest
begins ip January.
But before that there'll be
the Christmas season ana
strolling singers emoting with
carols in the streets. Festivities
will last through January 6
with gifts and parties for chill
dren on Three Kings Day.
Golfers torn from their home
links can watch the Open Golf
Tournament of Puerto Rico at
San Juan's Berwond Country
Club February 60. Height of
the tourist season, however,
will be the carnival parades,
parties and masquerade balls
opening February /.

DANCERS CRAWL
THROUGH LIMBO
Inv TRINIDAD

PORT OF SPAIN. Trini-
dad.-The dictionary says
that Limbo is the abode Of
those who are sinless yet
denied the reward Of
Heaven.
But to those who have
visited this island it has a
new meaning. Limbo is a
dance.
Two poles and a cross
bar. similar to that used for
the high jump. are set only
inches from the floor.
Dancers bend backwards
from the knees and. with
arms stretched forward and
back horizontal with the
floor, crawl under, waving
gracefully from side to side.
After both dancers go
under, the cross-bar is
inched down every time.
The origin of the dance is
not known but it was
brought to Trinidad by
slaves and practiced at
wakes during bongo ses-
sions. In 1910, the COM
mander of the United
States forces at Waller
Field here included it in
troop exercises. 1t was first
presented theatrically in
l948, gaining popularity in
recent years among folk
dancers who perform in To-
cal night clubs.

Delaware Food
Market Report
BY ANNE HoLRERToN
Agricultural Extension Service.
University Of Delaware

Summer vegetables are coming
in now in fairly good supply, thus
giving the cooks budget a break.
There is a wide price range, how
ever, so it Will pay to shop around.
The vegetables that rate "a good
buy" this week are: snaps, selling
in a range from IL to 20 cents a
b.; beets, averaging 13 cents a
bunch but in some stores as low as
2 lunches for Is cents; cabbage,
5 cents a lb. to 8 cents; new pota-
toes, SIS low as cents a h.;
squash, ranging from to Is cents; I;
eucumbers, from Z to 13 cents
apiece.
Celery and lettuce are both up
few pennies and quality needs
watching. 1t might be wiser to
look around the vegetable counter
to see what you can substitute
for lettuce if the quality is def
nitely poor. Green peppers however
have dropped some in price and for
the most part the quality is good.
At the fruit counter, there are a
few bargains. Watermelon has
dropped another 10 cents apiece.
They now sell around 79c TO $1.05
for a melon weighing between %
to 35 lbs. Look for grapes to be
selling at bargain prices this
weekend. But bananas and lemons
are higher. Berries, plums, cher
ries and pineapple are in pretty
good supply so shop around to get
your best buy among these fruits.
There's good news at the meat
counter The trend is going down
in price for many meats. This is a
welcome change, however, prices
are still high on most items. Look
for specials to help the food bud
get, otherwise serve meat substi-
tutes when possible. This, OF
course, brings to mind eggs. The
medium size continues to be the
best buy with prices ranging
around 40-45 cents a dozen.
With all the hot weather we've
been having, why not serve cold
cuts. There is a wide variety to
choose from and this cold meal
family is constantly growing. WheT
buying cold cuts, pick the ones
your family likes. BUT add an oc-
casional new one. Cold cuts need
refrigeration; therefore. buy those
that are from refrigerated cases
only. Look for a fresh, bright ap-
pearance and buy only what you
need unless you freeze the left.
over ones. Cold cuts tend to dry
out and become stale quickly.
Cost of living" is continuing tc

in this increase, so, shop wisely to
