Delaware Food Market
Report

The long period of limited mar
ketings of beef and hogs, because
of bad weather conditions, seems
to be nearing an end. During the
past few weeks the production of
beef and pork has exceeded that of
comparable weeks of a year ago.
Cattle and hog prices have come
down at the slaughter houses, but
as yet we have seen little evidence
of this abundant market at the re-
tail level.
The period when pork is plenti-
full is drawing to an end. Because
of this, any decline in pork prices
at the retail level will be of short
duration. Beef marketings normally
reach their low point in late
spring. so it is doubtful that any
substantial drop in price will occur
as far as retail beef cuts are con-
cerned. But, for the next week or
so, supplies of both meats will be
ample and there should be some ex-
cellent buys on special sales" at
local markets.
Spring increases in vegetable
supplies are now quite noticeable
at the vegetable counters, as ship
ments from Texas, the Carolinas,
Virginia, Florida and other south
ern producing areas arrive daily.
Large supplies of spinach, radishes,
celery, broccoli rabe, and new crop
onions are available. Carrots, po-
tatOes, and sweet potatoes are
plentiful. There are increasing sup
plies of beans, sweet corn, cucum-
bers, peppers and tomatoes. Cali
fornia asparagus shipments are
ample this week, but not equal to
the volume of two weeks ago.
Prices reflect this. Average price
for asparagus is 19c a lb. Arti-
chokes are at the height of their
season.
Fruits, too, have increased in
supply and there are some real bar
gains at this counter, Oranges, and
grapefruit continue to be ,outstand-
ing buys since quality is high and
prices low. These fruits will soon
be out of season, so enjoy them
now. Avocado receipts have picked
up and this fruit is now quite
plentiful with prices very reason
able. Production of avocados has
been increasing steadily in the past
20 years as this fruit has gained
wider acceptance. For these of you
who really enjoy avocados, why
not puree a few to freeze for later
use when avocados are no longer
available. Other plentiful fruits
are apples, rhubarb and pineapples.

How To Tell If
The Baby Is Sick
AP NeMsfeatures

AP Newsfeatures
A YOUNG mother with her first
baby often worries that her baby
is sick. She doesn't know what a
sick baby looks like so she fears
that each little sneeze or cough
means her baby is sick. After she
has had several children, she learns
the signs of sickness. But in those
early months she may be needlessly
worried.
A mother needs to know what
signs are serious and call for the
doctors immediate attention and
what signs signs are not SO ser
ious and can safely be treated at
home and then the doctor called if
necessary.
A baby changes rapidly as he
grows and develops but certain
kinds of changes may mean that he
is sick.
The sudden changes are of two
kinds. First, those acute things
that anyone can recognize as signs
hage, a high fever. Second, those
vague changes which are first ap-
parent to the mother who knows
her baby better than anyone else.
Has the baby been more irritable
than usual, has he eaten as usual,
or has he been more restless in his
sleep?
Some signs of illness may be the
beginning of serious disease and
should have the immediate atten-
ton of the doctor. The following
are serious signs:
A sudden very high fever, espec-
tally if the baby seems tense, jitt-
cry and jumpy. He may be on the
verge of a convulsion. A phone call
to your doctor may give you advice
to avoid a convulsiOn.
Difficulty in breathing.
Hoarseness which developed sud-
denly, especially if there is also a
hard barky cough.
A blue or gray color to the lips
and face, especially if the child
seems listless.
Blood in the stool (not just a
drop but large amount).
If your baby shows any of these
signs, put him to bed in a quiet
place and phone your doctor as
soon as possible regardless of the
hour. Your doctor will tell you
what to do Immediately and make
arrangements to see your child.
When your baby shows any of
these serious signs of trouble there
isn't much doubt in your mind that
you need the doctor, but there are
a host of less serious ailments that
may leave you in doubt. The fol-
lowing may indicate illness but they
are not emergencies: irritability or
restlessness, loss of appetite, vom-
iting, diarrhea, constipation, pain,
running nose, cough, rash, fever,
lnabality to move part of his body
If your baby shows any of these
signs take his temperature. If it is
as high as 104 or los, consider it
an emergency and call your doctor.
II the temperature is from 1O1 to
1O3, call your doctor as soon as
convenient, but not in the middle
of the night.
If your baby's temperature is not
above 101, put. him to bed and watch
him for awhile. 1t may be that you
know of some cause for his appar-
ent i'll health, such as undue ex-
citement or fatigue. All he may
need is rest and quiet and he will
be all right. If he doesn't show
some Improvement in a day, get in
touch with your doctor.

RISE AND SHINE

CORTEZ, Colo. (P)-Cortez police
think local businessmen have been
carrying things too far.
When police find a firm unlocked
in the night, it's been customary for
them to telephone the owner and
ask him to come downtown, check
his assets and lock up.
It's also been customary for the
merchant to reply sleepily, "Aw,
you lock up for me-"
Police Chief George Elliott says
from now on, Either the merchant
comes down and locks the door or
II stays unlocked"

Household Questions and Answers
By ROGER c. WHITMAN
Contributing Writer

Question: We have a wide
concrete step at our side door.
The step and the foundation
have an open space between
them. How should this open
joint be filled in?
Answer: If the open space
is relatively small, one-quar-
ter to three-eighths inch, use
a light-colored caulking COM
pound to fill the joint. If
the space is more than one
half inch deep, fill it with
sand, then put in the caulk-
ing. For a larger open space,
brush out loose particles,
moisten the sides and pack
the space with patching
moist for about a week to al
cement, keeping the patch
low slow curing.
White Film on Tile
Question: A floor in our
foyer has been laid with
maroon 6-inch-square tile
blocks sometimes called
"slaughterhouse" tile. In be-
tween is white cement. In
stead of being the rich red
maroon color they should be,
they have a whitish film that
can't be washed of. How
can We restore the color and
remove the film?
Answer: I am not familiar
with "slaughterhouse" tile.
However, if this is a quarry
tile, as I suspect, try the fol-
lowing treatment: Wash with
a solution of one part muri-
attic acid in 20 parts of water,
allowing to remain on sur
face about five minutes: then
rinse with clear water to re-
move all trace of acid. Wear
rubber gloves while working,
because of corrosive nature
Evening star., 1960-03-26

To remove the yellowing,
rinse the garment thoroughly
in clear water. Then use a
textile color remover, avail
able at notions dealers and
variety stores. following label
directions carefully. Suggest

Yellowed Shirts

Question: I have been
washing white cotton shirts,
labeled wash and dry" with
other laundry in which I
have added bleach. Some
shirts have washed success
fully, others have turned a
very pale yellow. What is the
cause of this?
Answer: Some special fin
iSh fabrics have a resin in
the finish which absorbs and
holds chlorine (you must
have used a chlorine bleach);
this sometimes yellows the
material. Chlorine bleaches
should never be used on this
type of material unless the
manufacturers label or tag
states it is safe to use.

Enamel EnomeI4
Question: The kitchen in
the house we just moved into
is enameled white. I would
like to do it over. Can I put

Answer: If the present
enamel is adhering tightly to
the wall surface all over, and
is smooth, a new enamel coat
ing can be put over it. First,
however, remove all grease,
wax. SCOT, etc., from the wall
by wiping with fine steel wool

tack was summarily rejected
by the clerk, who told the

The clerk then would deliver
the slip and someone in the

the stirring spectacle.
Mrs. Lawrence, bare-headed
and carrying the Olympic torch
in her raised right hand, care
fully skied down Little Papoose
Mountain to hand the fame to
Henry. The former speed-skat-
ing champion slowly circled the
snow-covered outdoor skating
rink, mounted the platform of
the Tower Of Nations, and for

SQUAW VALLEY, Calf, Feb.
19 (AP).-Squaw Valley was
set up as an arena for inter-
national sports, but there's a
growing suspicion it might
better serve as a proving
ground for the international
spies.
The site of the 1860 winter
olympics is so heavily guarded
that even rumors have a tough
time getting around.

"is harder to get into than

as many passes as Sammy
Baugh threw during his entire
career with the Washington
Redskins.
The reason is to keep ath-
letes and some officials from
being driven nuts by reporters
The principal pass issued
newsmen is one with numbers

But newSmen haven't been
given passes to Olympic Village
where the athletes live-and
many of them have passes with
barely enough numbers to get
them into the building where
they work.
Rivals Trojan Horse
The result has been one OF
the most colossal campaigns oi
trickery since the Trojans came
up with their hollow horse.
One reporter, for example
got into the village by feigning
complete ignorance of English
and mumbling to the guard in
what was intended to sound like
Russian. The guard. thinking
the reporter must be an athlete
let him pass.
Still others have resorted to
the obvious ruse of adding
needed numbers to their passes

Before the games started, a
reporter trying to get into the
main ice arena was told he
needed a special pass. Trouble
was no such pass had been is
