Private Imports
A few inveterate oyster de-
votees will ,occasionally club to-
gether and if they have a re-
liable. contact in the Maritimes,
order a keg or two of the live
bivalves to be shipped by fast
express. Preparing pysters on
the half shell is a mean job
for a novice, and some bear
the scars to this day from
gashes and knife -slips of yester-
year, when frequently the
rough -shelled oyster won the
day° To a true oyster man,
there is nothing finer than a
'dozen on the half shell, along'
with trtar sauce or tobasco,

_these opportunities now seem
' to be confined to the larger
centres, wherelarge populations
furnish sufficientclientele to
make oysters worthwhile as a
menu item.
Competition Tough
Today, in Goderich, qysters

They are either incarcerated in
small glass jars containing eight
ounces, or frozen in small packs
and kept, in the store freezer
displays along with an extreme-
ly wide assortment cif freZen

Japan and Chesapeake _Bay are
available.
Price has been a factor in
the decline. of the oyster too.
Never a cheap food by any
standard, oysters retain their
position as a'delicacy pricewisd,
currently- being quoted at $1.10
per eight ounces, as against 89
cents for nine ounces Iast year.
