FLOUNDER, LAUNDRY, 'NEW' OLD A&P & SNOW QUEEN
Feb. 4, 1932
FLOUNDER FRY TO BE PLANTED IN HARBOR
Between 60 and 70 million flounder fry will arrive here Friday to be planted in the harbor. These will be shipped by truck from Woods Hole. Last year about 40 million flounder fry were placed in the harbor. Although there were improvements in the flounder catches, satisfactory results were not obtained owing to the illegal dragging being done out of season which destroyed many of the fish. Plans are being made to obtain a patrol boat this summer to keep a sharp lookout for illegal draggers.

ACME TO RESUME LAUNDRY SERVICE
Good and welcome news comes to the people of Cape Cod and the Islands this week — the first break in the grimness of a hard winter and closing-in war restrictions — in the announcement of the Acme Laundry Company that service will be resumed next week and that on Monday an Acme routeman will resume collections.
The resumption of service is being made possible by the persistence of L. Vernon Eldredge, head of the Acme-Robbins Laundries, with the aid of Congressman Charles L. Gifford who has been working faithfully on finding a solution for civilian laundry problems following the taking by the Army of the Acme plants for military use.
Finally after a canvass that extended over much of southeastern New England, Mr. Eldredge has been able to arrange with the Cape Cod Laundry to do most of the laundry work for those who have been entirely dependent upon the Acme service.

BULLDOZERS READ SUPERMARKET SITE
Excavation work for the construction of the new A & P supermarket on Conwell Street was started last Friday shortly after noon when James Silva, contractor, and his workmen got to work with bulldozers to bring the area up to grade.
Mr. Silva estimated that it would take about a week to clear the area in preparation for the construction of the building, with approximately 8,000 yards of fill from a hill in the rear to be moved into a lower area to build up the grade.
Construction of the new building will be started immediately after the grading is completed and the supermarket is expected to be opened in May.

SENIOR-CHOSEN SNOW QUEEN
In the brightly decorated Town Hall auditorium, Susan Fritz, Provincetown High School senior, was chosen Snow Queen of the Junior-Senior Snow Ball, held Saturday night with more than 100 boys and girls attending. Susan is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fritz of Conant Street.
This was the first dance in honor of the Senior class, sponsored by the Mother’s Club of the Junior Class, and is planned as an annual mid-Winter event of the High School.
Miss Fritz was escorted to a seat of honor, and presented with a large, white stuffed dog, during a ladies’ choice dance. The Downbeats of Hyannis, a four-piece band made up of two guitars, organ and drums, provided music for the Snow Ball.
Red, white and blue were decoration colors, combining class colors of Juniors and Seniors. Streamers and balloons were in these colors, and white snow men covered the stage, each one bearing the name of a Junior or Senior pupil. A few underclassmen attended the dance, and several parents observed from the balcony of the auditorium.
