Delaware Food Market
Report

This is the time or year when
all meats are generally high, and
it is true now All except chickens
and turkeys. Chickens have gone
up two or three cents, but even
with this increase they remain one
of the best buys. Weekend sales
bring the prices of these two meats
down and make them outstanding
buys During August this plenti-
full supply will continue. Since July
/ all broilers and turkeys have had
to be meatier to qualify for U. S.
Grade A. At this time the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture revised
its standards for poultry. The re-
vised standards specify greater
amount OF flesh on the breast of A
quality birds than formerly. Also
new standards and grades for poul-
try parts are now in effect.
Beef prices increased from one
to four cents a pound on most pop
ular cuts this week. Pork prices
are also on the seasonal rise as
supplies decrease in hot weather.
Only veal has come down. Again
this weekend look for some fair
to good buys on this meat. Not only
is veal on special" for weekend
shoppers, but so are beef roasts,
steaks, ground beef, smoked pic
mic hams, turkeys, frankfurters
and many luncheon meats, These
specials definitely offer you your
best opportunity to make some
worthwhile savings possible.
A fairly wide variety of fruits
at reasonable prices continue to
be the picture at most fruit coun-
ters this week. More peaches are
arriving daily, with both quality
and price making them good buys.
Watermelons range from 59c to
slips each, according to size. Esti-
mates of this and the later summer
watermelon crop show them, es-
pecially the late crop, to be con-
siderably above average. This
means there are and will be many
good to excellent buys on this
fruit Other fruits. to check are
lines, lemons, seedless grapes and
California oranges. Cantaloupes
should also be checked, however
they continue to sell in rather
wide price range. They cost from
19c to 39c a piece. This wide price
spread is due to the fact that there
are many western cantaloupes be-
ing shipped into this area, which
are competing with melons from
nearer growing areas.
The supply of fresh vegetables
continues to be adequate. Best
buys this week are squash, green
beans, beets, carrots, some cabbage
and new potatoes, lettuce continue
to check for quality, cucumbers
and green peppers. More vine rip
ened tomatoes are coming to mar
ket but prices are high and quality
is not as good as it should be.
Sweet corn has gone up in price
and quality needs to be checked.

When Vacationing
Get Theft Protection

While a family always should be
alert to the danger of being burg
larized, a family on vacation is par
ticularly vulnerable to this type of
theft unless proper precautions are
taken. Russell d. Hamilton, local
agent for the Allstate Insurance
Companies. warns.
In order to protect against re-
turning from a vacation trip to
find a burglar has ransacked your
home and carted off many valuable
items, Hamilton urged the follow
ing things be done before starting a
trip.
l. DO not close window shades,
blinds or curtains completely, only
far enough to keep passerbys from
seeing in.
2. Install an electrical timer to
turn lights on and off These tim
ers are inexpensive and easily in
stalled.
3. Have the post office hold your
mail until you return. Also cancel
deliveries of newspapers, milk and
other daily items that might accu-
mulate on your doorstep.
4. Make arrangements to have
your lawn moved and any circulars
left on your doorstep collected.
S. Notify your neighbors and the
police of when you are leaving,
where you can be contacted and
when you expect to return.
s. Make a list of the serial num-
bers of your valuable items. This
will make 1t easier for the police
to trace these items in case your
home should be burglarized
7. Make certain that all doors and
windows are securely locked. Tor
doors, a pin-cylinder lock is con-
sidered best, but any deadlatch or
solid bar lock will do.
AS a final means of protection
against heavy financial loss from
burglaries, the Allstate representa-
tive urged families to carry ade-
quate insurance against thefts. "a
good rule of thumb is to carry about
$1,000 of theft insurance protection
for each room in. your home," he
added.

HE WALKS, HORSE RIDES

OMAHA up - Paul Revere had
to walk but his horse hitched a
ride.
It happened after Gary Young,
16, had donned a cooked hat and
frock coat and prepared to ride
several miles through the city to
publicize a charity horse show.
What spoiled the plan was a
city ordinance prohibiting horses
on Omaha thorough fares without
a parade permit.
Despite 89-degree heat, Gary
covered the planned route - on
foot. The horse rode along beside

Two More Original
Dungeon Doors To
Ft. Delaware Found


Two more original dungeon doors
to old Fort Delaware have been
acquired and returned to their
rightfui place it was announced
this week by Fort Delaware Soc
iety officials.
Just two months ago the Society
was able to secure a well preser-
we'd door which came as gift from
Mrs. William r. Maris, of Santa
Barbara. California. 1t has been a
prime exhibit at the fort museum
which is open to the public each
Saturday and Sunday from noon
until 700 p. m.
Col. w. S. Corkran, well known
as the developer of Henlopen
Acres, Rehoboth Beach, read about
the Society's interest in securing
objects which once belonged to
Fort Delaware, and which, over the
years when it was federal property
were dissipated in many directions
by vandals or souvenir hunters.
Col. Corkran served with the
Delaware National Guard and re-
calls that he had duty on Pea Patch
Island as far back as 1906 when
he became intimately acquainted
with the historical spot.
Known to have an interest in
things historical, he recalled that
in 1881 some boatmen came to him
and offered him the two doors
which they claimed they found
floating in the Delaware River.
From their condition, it was de-
Quoted that vandals or scavengers
had removed the bronze bars from
one door and stripped most of the
metal from both and then threw
them into the river. One of the
doors is solid oak and had no bars
attached.
Col. Corkran said he stored the
doors away, feeling that time
would come when they could be
returned to their proper place.
II have been reading about the
activity of the Fort Delaware Soc
iety and the interest you folks
have taken in establishing muse
um there, Col. Corkran told Miles
L. Frederick, president of the Fort
Delaware Society, 'and l believed
the time had come for the doors to
be returned.
Col. Corkran notified Society
officials that he was ready to re-
linquish them, and upon notificat-
ion that they would be acceptable
to the Delaware State Park Com
mission, which administered Fort
Delaware as state park, arrange
ments were made for their return.
Through the good offices of
Frank ]. Horty, general manager
of Delaware Memorial Bridge, a
pickup truck was dispatched TO
Rehoboth. The doors were official
ly turned over to the Fort Delaware
Society and they may now be view
ed by visitors along with the one
returned from California.
The condition of the wood in the
one door which is bare of bars--is
poor. Evidently having been water
logged for some time before it was
brought ashore by the boatmen,
and then remaining in storage so
long has had a telling effect. How
ever, with proper care, it will most
likely remain in the fort museum
as a priced memento for long
time to come.
Many visitors from nearby states
come to the fort in their own
boats, which they moor near the
pier on the Delaware side before
inspecting the island. Those want
ing transportation can find it at
Delaware City pier each week.

Summary Tells What
Congress Did for Consumers

Congressional Martha w. Crit
fiths (D-Mich.) has prepared a valu
able listing of the things the last Con
gress did-and failed to do-for pro
lection of consumers.
''This Congress- she noted, ''wrote
basic new safeguards against cancer
producing chemical ingredients in oul
food products and refused to open
loopholes in the Poultry Products In
spection Act
'This Congress- she continued,
enacted long-overdue law to label
dangerous or poisonous or hazardous
household products so parents will
know to keep them out of the reach
of children. Every year some 100000
youngsters swallow dangerous prepa-
rations. Of these, more than 500 die.
"It discussed, but failed to pass, a
truth in lending bill, which would
require lenders to spell out the inter
est they are charging customers. Such
a bill would go a long way toward
wiping out Underestimate gouging.
"This Congress also considered, but
did not pass, "a shoe labelling bill that
would require the manufacturers of
shoes to label the materials and dyes
used in their shoes. This is another
attempt TO assist the consumer in
knowing what he buys, as our fabric
and fur labelling laws do now.
ssThe Secretary Of Agriculture,
Mrs. Griffiths added, stopped grad
ing service on lamb and mutton. Pro-
tests from small packers and consum-.
ers and the House Committee on Agri-
culture forced him to restore the
grading service. Grading service is
in order to maintain re-
liability of quality for the consumer"

dividuals could finance themselves In
the manner of state governments. In
stead of being faced with bills from
the butcher and the drug store you
simply assign a number to the ac-
counts and wait for income to come
into the account number from the

the butcher wants his money you

Don Nutter, the Republican stand
ard bearer for Governor, has been
touting himself as a financial wizard
in the campaign this week without
understanding even the rudimentary
processes of state fiscal policy.
The hopeful is either trying to
delude or is ignorant of the condi-
tions by which Montana pays it's bills.
At any given time you can check
out the financial fibre of the state
by going to the controller to see how
many bills have been charged against
what appropriation. Then to the Audi
tors office to check the warrants
written against the various accounts
and on to the Treasurer,s office to
see the warrants actually cashed.
The term Sin the red' is used for
convenience when speaking of the
financial transactions of the state
and is not the same as a person being
in debt. When a person goes broke
they do something else or go some
place else. Montana can't go any
where or do anything but what the
laws commit it to do.

U. S. Generating Capacity
To Increase 1890 By 1880

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NRECA)
The United States power general
ing capacity will climb from it's 1865
level of 174 million kilowatts to ACT
million XIV by 1980-an increase Of
168 90 in 81 years-as the nation is
spurred on toward such development
by constantly increasing demands for
electricity.
According to Russian estimates,
that country will have 1919 more gen.
Grating capacity than the u. S. by
1880. E
The U. S. figures were brought out
in recent Federal Power Commission
staff forecast of energy requirements.
A year, ago, FPC estimated generating
capacity needed by 1880 would be
451 million KYLE million XIV less
than was predicted in the recent re-
port.
