Paris Franc Gains
After Sharp Drop

PARIS. Aug. 6 (R).-The
French franc. which was
wobbly yesterday, recouped
slightly on the Paris black
market today to 432 to the
dollar. Yesterday the franc
was at its lowest point in more
than three years at 436 to the
dollar. The off1cial rate is $50
to the dollar.
Traders attributed the franc S
four-point recovery to a rush
of dollar holders to take ad-
vantage of the favorable rate.
Another factor was signs that
the cabinet is about to agree
on Finance Minister Felix
Gaillard'S drive to slash 900
billion francs from the nation S
1858 budget.
Mr.. Gaillard has threatened
to resign unless his goal is
met, and today the Ministers
were reported within about 20
billion francs of Mr.. Gaillard S
objective as experts continued
their scrutiny of national f.
nances for possible economies

The copper cut had little i'm.
pact on metal shares. In fact
Phelps Dodge rose "a and Ana
conda was steady. Kennecott
was of more than a point be-
fore the news came and re-
NAMED down about the same
amount.
Oils. chemicals, aircrafts anc

motors, steels and utilities were
irregular.
Only a handful of special sit.

Girl Scout Troop No. 78

Girl Scout Troop No. 78, under
the leadership of Mrs. Parker
Hitch, Mrs. Theda Biggs and Mrs.
Harvey Kenton, met at the Elemen-
tary School recently and had a
very nice meeting.
Scout Evelyn Biggs led the open
ing exercises with the singing of
"Oh, Beautiful Banner" and "Koo-
kaburra". She then explained our
second Girl Scout Law, "A Girl
Scout is Loyal" She talked about
the word Loyal, then when it meant
to her, a Scout. She, along with
Barbara Hitch, JoAnn Collins and
Faith Hope Kenton, gave skit ex-
planning loyalty.
After Scout Biggs assisted the
troop in playing game. They went
to Patrol Corners to take dues and
attendance. There ere three pa
trolls: The Go-Getters with Scout
Bonnie Hoey as Patrol leader, the
Peach Blossoms, with Scout Judy
Jefferson as Patrol Leader, and
Scout Carol Kline as Patrol Leader
of the Buttercups.
The group feels it is very for
tunate in having a Scout Mother
who is a nurse and is willing to
take the time to come and talk to
them. Mrs. Lester Jefferson prepar-
ed an interesting meeting on
Health and Safety, so that the
Troop could pass another part to-
ward their second class badge.
She opened her discussion by
reviewing First Aid. What do we
do in case of fainting, minor burns
and cuts? Then she showed how to
use triangular bandage as sling
or ankle support. Each girl re-
ceived a bandage so she could prac-
tice on everyone at home.
Since these scouts are soon to
become pretty teen-agers, Mrs. JEFF
ferson stressed Food and Beauty,
Rest and Beauty and Cleanliness
and Beauty.
The girls and leaders appreciated
Mrs. Jefferson's talk and feel that
they have had another interesting
and profitable meeting.
On Tuesday evening, January 29,
Mrs. Hitch, Carl Kline, Donna
Fischer, Barbara Hitch, Donna
West and JoAnn Collins visited the
Sakamis Tribe meeting. These Red
Men sponsor this troop and pre-
sented the girls with very pretty
Girl Scout flag.
After receiving the flag, the girls
gave a very impressive flag cere-
mony which is used quite often in
the scout meetings.
The topic for the next meeting
is international Friendship"

Troop 1876 began their afternoon
with the showing of movie
Smoky the Bear. They were TAX
en- on a guided trip through the
different departments of the State
Forestry, learning of nature, and
her wonderful ways.
1t was exciting for the troop to
learn of animals, birds, insects,
and plant life, and their process of
growing. AS each of these things
of nature, have a place in life, so
have our Brownies, to grow to be
fine, unselffish people, and to do for
one another.
The following is a list of the
Brownies that attended.

Delaware Food Market
Report
BY ANNE HoLBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service,
University Of Delaware

II you have a pencil handy you
can easily figure that eggs are the
best buy for main dish this week.
At an average price of Az cents
piece, two eggs furnish as much
solid nourishment as a standard
4 ounce portion of meat. Where can
YOU get quarter of a pound of
boneless meat at less than 10 cents ?
To get the best buy on eggs,
check size, grade and price, then
compare.
Beef prices remain about the
same, but special weekend prices
will offer sharp price reductions
There is more evidence, also, of
better quality beef now being on
the meat counter in much larger
quantities. This weekend look for
good buys on standing rib roast,
chuck roast, and steaks of all kinds
all in good choice grades. If you
have a home freezer now would be
the time to put some of these "best
buvs" away for future use.
Pork shows the greatest overall
increase in price. Loin roast up
about cents a pound, is averag-
ing 50 cents. Center cut pork chops
are up cents and rib chops are
up a few pennies also. Bacon
seems to be shooting up again. 1t
rose another cents this week. So
be sure to lool for weekend spec
ials to helD stretch thespork dollar.
Again this week look for excel
lent buvs on broiler-fryers. The
quality is good and what could be
better than golden fried chicken.
You can even make chicken and
dumplings-my, but it's good on
these cold winter days.
Citrus fruit still leads the list of
'best buys" in fruit Regardless OF
the recent cold weather in Florida
the quality of oranges and grape
fruit is excellent and prices are
very reasonable. Try broiled grape
fruit for lunch as a pleasant
change. Why not give the family
homemade orange syrup for their
pancakes in the mornings. Now is
the time to use these good citrus
fruits often. Other fruits that are
economical are Cranes avocados,
Eastern apples and bananas Why
not serve banana cream pie to-
night?

Worshipful Master fsaacs re-
ports that the special program pre-
sented at the last meeting of Tenn
pie Lodge on January II, was one
OF the finest ever enjoyed by the
members. 1t was arranged by Mas
ter Mason Harry E. Mayhem, with
the cooperation OF the Diamond
State Telephone Company.
The feature of the program was
the showing of the color and sound
film entitled "The Delaware Story"
demonstrating the vital Importance
of the telephone to the welfare of
Delawareans. Many industrial firms
located in our state-with The l..
d. Caulk Company incl1ded-were
described in a most interesting
fashion. The many members of
Temple Lodge who attended this
meeting greatly enjoyed the pro-
gram.
The next meeting of Temple
Lodge will be held on Thursday
evening of this week at 1880 o.
clock. This will be a special COM
municatiOn for the purpose of con-
ferring the Master Mason degree.
The next stated communication
of Temple Lodge will be held on
Thursday evening, February IA,
1857. The program is being ar
ranged by Master Masons Carson
Ward and Remsen Barnard, and
will be featured as 1.-The Sports
mans Hour. By reason of the as
sociation of these two men with
Barnard Marine, Inc. of Milford,
distributors of sportsman's equip
ment and supplies, it can be ex-
pected that their program for Feb
ruary IA will be most appealing to
the entire membership.
The usual coffee hour will be en-
joyed Immediately following the
meeting on this Thursday evening,
as well as that on February IA.
