Lobster Pot Closed Through April 2 Due to Ice
The Lobster Pot will be closed until April 2 as Maine and Nova Scotia lobster stocks are frozen and imports from Boston are limited. Owner Charles DeW. Brownell notes the 1941 price ceiling worsens profits and Rhode Island season opens April 1. He cites a 1929 precedent for such a shutdown and reports scarce supply and high costs. Separately, the Our Lady of Mount Carmel School fund gains two new $100 gifts, raising the total to $14,250 from Mr and Mrs Fortunato Squatrino and Mrs Antonetta Cirillo.
