Food Prices Fairly Stable
Dillon's new Iowa Street store is now included in the Consumer Protection Association's weekly food price survey. Rusty's North Side store wasn't surveyed.
The change in stores accounts for some of the average price changes in this week's survey. With few exceptions, most prices were relatively stable.
The price of large eggs was down at
several stores, while the price of medium eggs went up in most stores.
Whole fryers declined in price at A&P,
Falley's and both Kroger's stores, but
prices were constant elsewhere.
Round steak declined at the two Kroger's and two Rusty's stores, Safeway, but increased at Dillon's 6th Street for the boneless cut.
Sugar prices for the 5 lb. store brand packages went up at two stores.
Dry milk prices increased again at some stores.
The weekly survey is now being taken on Wednesday or Thursday and published on Friday in order to bring published prices in line with current prices at all stores. Several stores change prices on Wednesday of each week.

Survey Indicates Price Increase For Retail Meat
X means item not available
An Associated Press survey indicated that meat generally was more expensive than ever at the retail level one year after the meat buoyet by consumers.
By the Associated Press
But the shopper who stuck to specials came up with a meat biller lower than last month's average.
Wholesale prices were down because of increased supplies that piled up during the January truckers' strike and because people were buying less meat.
Overall, however, meat prices were generally higher than they were last year in 19 cities checked by the AP last April 1 and again this week. The AP survey covered 26 per cent of the shoppers chopped church, sirloin steak, lamb chops, leef of羊肉 and standing rib roast.
Fifty-six per cent of the items checked were higher in price; 26 per cent lower; 10 per cent were unchanged; and 8 per cent were unavailable on one of the two survey tapes.
Beef items generally increased more than other meats, but there was no clear pattern. Pork chops seemed to be the best buy. Their prices went down in eight cities over nine months. In four pork chops were up in seven cities, unchanged in two and unavailable in one.
Government figures for February, the latest month for which statistics were available, also indicated higher prices. A survey of consumer spending in Bureau of Labor Statistics at 1,500 supermarkets in 56 cities indicated increases on every product. The increases ranged up to 31 per cent for hamburger which went from about $84 cents a pound to $11.0 per pound.
The government announced Tuesday it was buying $45 million worth of high quality hamburger to help prop up livestock prices. The meat will be donated to schools.
Agriculture Department officials said the
retail petroleum retail prices, but no one was sure by May.
"It will be a little shot in the arm for producers," said John Larsen, a USIA
Meat industry spokesman conceded that sales were down. How much, they said, they could get them.
Clarence M. Kelley, director of the FBI, will address the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce's 51st annual banquet at 7:30 tonight in the Kansas University Ballroom.
Clarence Kelley Will Address Banquet Tonight
Kelley, a 1936 graduate of the University of Kelley, was nominated by President Nixon and confirmed by the Senate as the FBI's second permanent director in July 1973. Kelley was an FBI agent and field investigator in New York before becoming police chief of Kansas City, Mo., in 1961. He held that post until his appointment as FBI director.
Nearly 800 reservations have been made by Chamber members and their guests to hear Kelley's speech. Last year the banquet was attended by 1,200 people, who heard John Connally, former Secretary of the Treasury and Texas political figure.
