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

Vegetable and fruit supplies are
looking better. as they are coming
in from other producing areas
where growing weather has been
good and our local supplies are
increasing since we've had rain.
Such vegetables as carrots, yell
low onions, green pepers and pota-
toes all show a penny or so drop
in price this week. Home grown
tomatoes are averaging 19 cents
lb, and squash is as low as 10
cents lb.
There's little more good broccoli
at "a cents a bunch and more cauli-
flower at 35 cents a head on the
vegetable counter now. This brings
the first signs of autumn. Most
other vegetables are about the
same in price as they were last
week. However, lettuce still re-
mains relatively high for a good
quality head.
Fruits are taking on the touches
of autumn too. Green cooking
apples are more plentiful and are
priced as low as IL cents a lb.
Seedless white grapes dropped a.
bout 4 cents. they are selling a
round 20 cents a lb., but with care
full shopping they may be found
as low as IA cents a lb. More and
more home grown Concord and
Delaware grapes are reaching local
stores, with prices that are reason
able Bartlett pears dropped 8 cents
in many stores this week and are
selling as low as 16 cents lb.
Peaches still remain the "best
buy" in fruits Don't forget to can
or freeze some for this winter
nOw's the time to do it.
There are some newcomers to the
fruit counter this week. They in
clude damsOns, nectarines, oranges
(the green ones are Fipe-in most
cases the color hasn't been added
and casaba melons.
The meat picture is about the
same as last week. There's been a
few minor up and downs but in
general things are high. Careful
shopping during weekend sales are
the best chances for stretching
your dollar as far as meat is con-
cerned. Chicken and turkey remain
good buys again this week Specials
on the cornish game hens make this
meat reasonable enough to try one
or two for change in pace.

SAVED BY THE BELL

DRIFT, Ky. -(P)- A little girl
didn't know it at the time but she
probably saved Earl Turner's life
during a rainstOrm.
Turner was standing outside his
theater when the girl telephoned
to ask when the movie would start.
He told 7:15 then reeled back
from a binding flash of lightning.
Leaving the boxoffice, Turner
dashed outside to the spot where
he had been standing and found
a 75-pound piece of limestone,
knocked from the roof by light
ming.

No SCHOOL, Too Bad
Even making the reeionals is a big
deal for a team, and the home folks
show their appreciation. Last year Sols-
berry, with 100 pupils in its high school,
cIeaned up all the teams in that part Of
the state in the scctionals. When the
squad headed for Bloomington for the
regionals, the whole town was literally
behind them, strung out in gay parade
Of cars. The Solsberry warriors toppled
Staunton O39 pupils) in the afternoon.
When they were fiattened by powerful
Terre Haute Gerstmeyer (which has a
good chance at this years champion
ship) in the evening, not only boys and
girls, but grown men and women shed
real, salty tears.
During tournament, concentration
is complete. Last season, while Mont
gomery was over in Washington for the
sectionals, its grade-and-high school
burned down. Consensus: too bad about
the schoolhouse, but after all, the gym
suffered only minor water damage.
Although Indiana's first state tourna-
ment was played 46 years ago, the game
actually got its big assist shortly after
the beginning Of this century, when its
biggest rival got setback. In those days,
football was a bone-crushing business.
Public reaction was strong. and many
schools prohibited the game.
But in 1905, President Theodore
Roosevelt called his famous save foot
ball. conference. The following year,
with new rules, including the forward
pass, the game began its great comeback
on the national scene. Indiana, however,
was in no hurry = it had found game
it liked better than football.
Basketball had taken over. New gyms
were springing up in big towns, Cross
roads and whistle stops. Sometimes, as

mature mothers have been known TO
beg a piece Of il to take home, as a
souvenir for the next generation.
The importance as spectator magnet
Of the open-to-everybody tournament
can hardly be overestimated. All through
the tournament, businessmen and home
folks have been dickering and scroung-
ing for tickets to the out-of-town games.
Business IS ignored, housework goes
hang. school doesn't keep. Long motor
cades take whole villages from town to
town on the nights Of the big sectional
and regional games. Now suppose you're
just a iffie town. And suppose your
team whips all comers and goes up to
the state capital to play the states big
eeSt, toughest outfit in the finals. And
then suppose il wins! What do you
imagine would happen?
The town Of Milan, population 200,
high-school enrolment l67, provides an
illustration Of what can happen. Milan
took the state championship IN 1854,
and rooters just about tore up whole
corner Of the state.
