FRESH FOOD
BUYERS FLOCK
TO CiROrr-RlFS
‘ ■' "Wherea s the ham?11 „
’’Has the bacon
come off.yet?”
”How much for a
head of lettuce?”
Questions were
flying thick and fast
around hurried clerks
in Seldovia’s grocery
stores Thursday morn
ing, as housewives
flocked to the coun
ters to get their
buying done' early.
Stores were crowd
ed :with exc.ited shop
pers, who poked in
quiring fingers -into
lettuce heads or pin
ched a stalk of cel
ery as though' they
Couldn’t quite be
lieve their eyes.
Merchants did a
landslide business
all day long, and
there wasn’t a home
in- Seldovla where
Thursday’s dinner
table didr. ’ tNg display -
an abundance of green •
stuff and a serving
of fresh meat*
This real Thanks
giving for Seldcvians
was a week late, but
the day after the
Grommet Reefer tied
up at.Anderson’s Dock
'was just that for
this fresh-food-hung
ry community,, which
had been without a
food shirment since
