Walnut, went out of control
and crashed through a wire
fence at the home of Erasmo

Damage to the fence was
listed at approximately $50,
and the car was not heavily

The second accident

The parked car was owned
by Hilda L. Montoya of 520
North Elm.
Neither vehicle received
extensive damages.

Fruits,
Vegetables
Abundant
COLLEGE STATION - A
cornucopia of fresh vegetables
— with top quality and lower
prices — is at Texas grocery
markets, along with
economical meat “specials”
according to Mrs. Gwendolyne
Clyatt.
The consumer maketing
information specialist with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, The Texas A&M
University System, compiled
the following report on this
week’s food buying situation:
FRESH VEGETABLES -
Good quality and attractive
prices appear on snap beans,
yellow and zucchini squash,
corn, cucumbers, green
peppers, green onions and
radishes. Other economical
choices are carrots, cabbage,
mustard greens, broccoli and
collards. Check celery,
cauliflower, okra and eggplant
for economy prices.
FRESH FRUITS
Watermelon and cantaloupe
prices are slightly lower.
Economical choices are
strawberries, pineapples,
oranges, grapefruit and
bananas. Bing cherries, plums
and peaches have
first-of-the-season prices —
high — although peaches are
more plentiful with better
flavor.
BEEF — Prices are still
attractive on most selections —
and weekly “specials” allow
low-cost meals with beef,
particularly chuck roasts,
steaks, ground beef and liver.
