Yes, it is indeed a day for in- ventory—to plan the things you need to buy, and to dream of the “Tamarind” - is a ‘strange one—there are those who might even think I'm referring te the Salvation Army—but, am veally, speaking of — Overseas Fruit Market, 934 Truman Street, where this rare fruit is found. This is also “where the melon and ‘antaloupe lay’’— The mel- ons are those wonderful “key” enes and the cantaloupes just plain delicious! All the tropical fruits and all the vegetables in the world—no matter how ripe—how perfect— how. fine — seldom make you think of them as having atmos-. phere and personality. BUT—at the Overseas Fruit ‘Market they do, because this is such a spe- cial shop! Your trip to “Frank's” will be more than: worthwhile when you see the high quality fruits and luding: the “rare ones’ — and sip FRESHLY -SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE— and order a basket of fruit to be sent to a friend!

There are those who vow by all that is up and down and crosswise that they can not have @ purty thick green lawn. In- ‘stead. of telling of their woe, _ they should buy the convenient fifty pound bag of “Hector- ganic” fertilizer with the Milor- ganite Base BECAUSE it pro- vides steady feeding! Yes—your lawn gets three meals a day without knocking yourself out! Fewer applications are needed as this naural organic fertilizer releases its foods through natur- al soil processes! By just-saying, “Heck—ere— I've forgotten” — Baldwin's will » know what you need for the “likes of your lawn”! #2 S228 Been meaning to kid my friends, The Columbia Laundry (hi, Mary!) about their clock. First it was twenty three minutes ‘slow—then fourteen minutes fast—then—per- fect. Of course, anyone who reads “BB” knows I had Mr, Pruitt in mind for the job— However, My Red Shawl frown- ed on such a procedure because it knew that the Columbia Laundry did a pretty wonderful thing! It cleans all the clothes. for the ‘Thrift Shop (for Navy personnel over the Commissary) at half price! Also, would like to add that the man responsible for this is known to many of you for the long, hard, untiring job he has done for the good of Our Town. At present, re- ports tell of his tremendous suc- cess as District Governor for the Rotary. If I mention his name—he’ll brain me for.sure—but I can say that he’s married to Elinor!

When you add to the memory, not only a delicious meal, but one which in- cludes the unexpected in the menu —such as, Green Turtle “ Steak, Shrimp Enchilado, “Whole Broiled Florida Lobster’— you'll never forget dinner at the A & B Lobster House, 100 Front Street! 22:28 My Red Shawl must have gotten sidetracked at the Roadmap count- er—cause it tells of.travellers, Admiral and Mrs. Towner at- tended the Class of ’24 Reunion at Annapolis and are visiting their home in North Arlington for a brief leave.
