Delaware Food Market
Report
By ANNE HOLBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware
Meats and Poultry : Some of the
best values in beef this week
chuck roasts, rib roasts and ham
burger. although great variations
in the quality of ground beef must
be noted. Stew meat, rolled boned
shoulder* and square cut shoulder
are among the most economical
cuts of veal. Lamb prices continue
to be reasonable even though in
creases are expected, and favor
able prices appear on leg lamb
and square cut shoulders.
The outlook is for continued low
prices on pork. Top grade pork on
the hoof is bringing nine cents per
pound less than -last year with
marketing 20% above a year ago.
Best buys in pork continue to be
on loins, shoulders and shank ends
of ham. Lard prices at wholesale
average four cents under last year.
Young chickens are somewhat
lower in price and stewing chickens
remain an excellent value.
Eggs: Egg prices are strengthen
ing although they remain well be
low those of 1954 and eggs are still
among the least expensive highly
nutri tious foods. Large and
medium eggs are priced only |
or two cents apart on the wholesale
market and in some retail stores,
making the large size relatively
more attractive.
Seafood : Stocks of frozen had
dock, 75% higher than a year ago.
are prompting a big sales push at
prices 10% below those of last
winter. Fish sticks; fresh whiting
and pollock; frozen ocean perch,
smelts and cod; and shrimp are at
tractively priced in most stores.
Oysters bring variety to meals
because they can be eaten in many
ways— ravi, fried, stewed, broiled,
♦ creamed and baked. Although prices
are at the same level, oysters are
in good seasonal supply. Select
shell oysters that are still alive
as indicated by a tightly closed
shell. Shucked oysters should be
plump in a clear liquor and have
a natural creamy color.
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: Ap
ple markets continue to be dull and
prices are lower on nearby apples
than a few weeks ago. Oranges are
plentiful and one of the best buys.
Grapefruit is less abundant than
last year and prices will adjust
acordingly.
Only moderate supplies and
prices appear this week for lettuce,
celery and cabbage Rutabegas are
an abundant winter vegetable rich
in vitamin A, and prices are favor
able as they are with other root
crops including carrots, parsnips
and radishes. Onions are reduced
in price considerably from last
week.

Safety Council Notes
Every motorist, by adapting his
driving to winter conditions,
help prevent winter traffic acci
dents. But, according to Clifford
T. Foster, Jr., vice president for
public safety of the Delaware Safe
ty Council, he must first realize
Just how winter driving differs
from other driving. The following
six relies developed by the Council
give the driver a good formula
for safe driving. -u
1. ACCEPT YOUR RESPONSI
BILITY. Don't blame the weather
man for an accident. Be prepared
to meet the situation. ,
2. GET THE "FEEL" OF THE
JIOAD. Try brakes occasionally
while driving slowly and away from
t-affle. Find out just.bow slippery
the road is and adjust your speed
to road and weather conditions.
R•'member, you can't stop on an
icy dime.
3. KEEP WINDSHIELD CLEAR,
sure headlights, windshield
wiper blade» and defrosters are in
top condition. You have to
danger to avoid it.
4. USE TIRE CHAINS. They cut
stopping distances about half, give
4 to 7 times more starting and
climbing traction ability. But slow
er than normal speeds are a "must"
on snow and ice.
6. PUMP YOUR BÄAKE8. Pump*
your brakes to slow down or stop.
Jamming them on can lock the
wheels and through you into a dan
gerous skid.
6. FOLLOW AT A SAFE DIS
TANCE. Keep well back of the
vehicle ahead—give yourself room
to stop on snow and ice as
dry concrete.

New Ford Film
Transformation of a sleepy,
slow-moving farm community into
a wide-awake, thriving Midwest
village through the stimulus of 4-H
Club work is documented In

The 28-minute motion picture,
titled "The Town That Came Back."
was produced by Ford Motor Com

It tells the story of how the re
activation of a 4-H Club revived the
little community's almost - dead
spirit. Parts in the 16mm sound

persons who participated in the
true-life community project.
. "The Town That Came Back."

Club Congress at Chicago in Decem
ber and in Washington before mem
bers of Congress and officials of
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture which cooperated with Ford
in production of the film along with
the National Committee on Boys
and Girls Club Work, Inc.
The film is one of 29 produced by
Ford for free distribution to
schools, churches, civic groups and
other similar organisations
throughout the United States. Films
produced by Ford have won 17
first place or grand awards in doc
umentary motion picture competi
tion in the past five years.
Approximately 24.000.000 per
sons saw Ford films in 1954, exclu
sive of television showipgs.
, Company pictures may be obtain
