The president Of the Alex

ISOLATION Is drafting demands
that the law be used to lock
the doors Of stores which open
on Sundays for "non-essen-

about 100 firms, to write Com
monwealth's Attorney Earl F.
Wagner to do all necessary to
close stores which violate Vir-
ginia's blue law"
He said he is confident the

the proposal.
I'VE feel very strongly about
this and we are looking to our
elective officials to enforce the
law and enforce 1t vigorously, "
he said.
Mr.. Woolf reported he also
will urge the association to list

which are opening on Sundays
in defiance of the States Sum

He charged that the spread

Delaware Food Market
Report

The fruit picture remains much
the same as in recent weeks except
for two fruits-bananas and avo-
cados. Bananas are good to ex-
cellent buy at nine and ten cents
pound since quality is good
Avocados couldn't be much cheaper
than they are-two for 25c-and
those featured on special sales are
medium in size and of good quality.
When buying avocados this week,
select the heavy, medium-sized
ones which have a bright, fresh
appearance and which are fairly
firm or are just beginning to soften
1t is better to buy firm fruit than
fruit that is too soft. To ripen avo-
cados, keep them at room temper
ature, then refrigerate until ready
to use. Always be sure to ripen a
firm avocado before refrigerating
it. Remember when selecting this
fruit, they bruise easily and this
not only mars their appearance
but also affects the quality of the
f1esh-so help the grocer keep top
quality fruit by being careful when
you handle avocados and do han
die them as little as possible.
Fresh Strawberries are appear
ing in larger volume but prices re-
main fairly high. 1t is predicted the
crop this year will be quarter
larger than last, so prices will
soon fit the pocketbook of all con-
sumers.
A much wider variety of good
quality vegetables is at the yeget-.
able counters this weekend. Sweet
corn is arriving in increasing
volume and prices will reflect this.
Peak of supply for this vegetable
being shipped in from Florida is
late April and another peak is in
early May. So look to lots of tender
sweet corn to eat. Cucumber ship
ments are increasing and will reach
their peak in early May. New po-
tatoes are plentiful and of course
cabbage is also. Asparagus is in
creasing in supply-quality is good.
Here is a tip to help assure you of
serving only the tender portion of
the asparagus. Break rather than
cut each spear. The asparagus
snaps at the point where it ceases
to be tender.
With current low prices and good
quality of pork-now is the time
to buy for the freezer. Be sure to
properly wrap, since this is very
important in retaining the fresh
goodness of meat after several
months in the freezer. Three to
six months is the recommended
time for fresh pork to be stored in
a freezer.
Beef supplies are available for
the next few weeks at about the
same quantity as last year. How
ever, there will be more young
cattle and fewer old ones marketed.
We can expect a continued larger
supply of high quality beef since
fattening rations are being fed the
young cattle. Price-wise it is ex-
pected there is little chance of in
creased prices until summer when
prices could go higher.
