Today Franey arrived with bonito, a fine, 8-lb. or 9-lb. fish filleted to about 2½ lbs. Breasts of chicken for supremes de volatile aux poivrons are at hand on the big, 6-ft. by 12-ft. marble worktable, along with peppers, tomatoes, fresh corn. Franey, who is wearing a tennis shirt and khakis, puts on a blue denim apron that matches Claiborne's. His dogs, a Labrador and a spaniel, array themselves on the red tile floor. He banishes to outer darkness a bottle of strong, dark Italian olive oil, with which Claiborne has been whisking...

Silent films with piano accompaniment were regularly featured. Young Elden popped the corn and hawked his products to customers at a nickel...
Hathaway has watched this Bryant Pond disappear along with Long's Lumber Yard, where they planed on all four sides, true and square, and a cannery where a boy could pick up a damaged tin of creamed corn for a free lunch on his way to a day of fishing.

Joliet Army Ammunition Plant. The Government hopes to sell 1,300 acres of this 23,000-acre compound 50 miles southwest of Chicago. Last year the expendable acreage was leased to local farmers for $750,000; they used it to grow corn, hay, soybeans and other crops, and to graze livestock. Farmers like John Nugent of Manhattan, Ill., who now rents some of the land for $95 per acre, are interested in buying "if the price is right." Harold Holz, who manages the land for the Uniroyal Corp. under a federal contract, says that the grazing land is worth around...
...Only 15% of the country's land is arable, and, to make matters worse, the government's agriculture program has badly faltered. As a result, Kenya, once self-sufficient in food production, has become a chronic importer of expensive grains, including the daily staple, corn. Prices for the country's traditional exports (coffee, tea, livestock products) have drastically fallen. Kenya is expected to run a balance of payments deficit of as much as $1 billion this year. Per capita income, only about $400 annually, is declining...
