Prices locally and at shipping points advanced the first part of the week. Maine growers asking $1.35 & 1.45 per 2wt., delivered for best stock, 5c higher than Monday's opening quotations. Reports from that .state indicated increased wire inquiry the fore part of the week with some slowing up in buying as the week progressed and ter- minal markets were becoming better supplied. In the local market the same condition prevailed, buying Mon- day and Wednesday being active but Interest falling off at the close. Distributors reported job- bing prices not keeping pace with the advances in the coun- try, and many larger buyers were inclined to buy sparingly at the iiigher rate. New potatoes met with slight- ly improved buying support al- though consumption figures were still far below normal. All Flor- idas arriving here showed excel- lent quality and condition and at the present low levels, distrib- utors look for Increased activity on new potatoes from now on. Florida growers were quoting around $1.20 & 1,25 per 50-pound box delivered. Rewards For Your Ideas Suffolk County Assn.

L.up- ton, has been pa.^sed bi the As- sembly with little opposition. There were only 14 negative votes, 12 Democratic and 2 Re- publican. The bill was rushed as fast as possible and has only been out of the ways and means commit- tee one week. Last year the bill was killed which caused the loss of a year in getting the bridges ready before the World's Fair. The Suffolk Board of Supervi- sors will now create a county bridge commission and soon the much talked about bridges may be a reality. Greenport Man Charged With 3rd Degree Assault Rams Two Boys in Open Boat; Fined $60 and 30 Days Suspended Sentence Sydney Smith, 41, an oyster watchman, of Greenport, was placed under arrest by Southold Town Of- ficer Antone Chituk on Feb. 15 on complaint of Claudio Glovanelli, 16, and Albert Palentonio, 17, both of Greenport. Smith was charged with third degree assault and re- leased on $200 ball by Justice Nor- man Klipp, after pleading not guil- ty. He was tried on February 26 in the village hall before Judge Kllpp. According to the story. Smith rammed his oyster boat into the sharpie In which Giovannelll and Palentonio were oystering near the Clay Banks. Both boys, fearing In- jury, jumped into the Icy cold bay, when Smith, according to the evi- dence, steamed away. Giovannelll, a bright lad, with a pleasing per- sonality, pleaded his own case in a manner far beyond his years. Smith's answers to the youth were anything but pleasant. Smith de- nied the charges. Judge Klipp lis- tened attentively and patiently to both defendant and complaintants and their witnesses. He reserved decision until Tuesday night, March I, at which time Judge Klipp, after stressing the seriousness of taking the law in one's own hands instead of going to the proper authorities, said, \I find yoti, Sydney Smith, guilty of third degree assault as fharged and fine you $50 and 80 days jail sentence; the Jail sen- tence, I will suspend.\ PHILIP E.
