Price changes this week included:
Wonder Thin Sandwich bread increased from 53 to 58 cents for a 24-count loaf at
Martha's Market.
Simison
Bananas went up five to seven cents a
pound, increases of 42 per cent to 58 per cent, at Rusty's in North Lawrence, Fallley and Kroger on 23rd St. Bannanas at Rusty's a pound at Dillon's on Massachusetts.
Lettuce went down 14 cents a head at both Kroger's stores.
The two Kroger's stores showed the greatest number of price changes of 10 per cent or more in the past week. Nine increases and three decreases of at least 10 per cent were counted at Kroger's downtown store. Kroger's on 25r St. showed six increases and four decreases among the 57 items surveyed.

The groundhog grapples with the prairie dogs while the wood rat switches burrows with the skunk, and the porcupine sits alone in the corner. 'It's all in a day's work at Lawrence High School's Natural History Visitation Site.
Students, not yet accustomed to seeing the animals, watch eagerly and daily, but few have as vested an interest in the animals' activities as Brad Heacock.
Completed just weeks ago, the site is in a nook between two wings of the high school building and contains more than a half dozen animals.
Heacock, a high school junior and assistant to biology instructor Ken Higfillen is beginning a long-term research project to determine whether prairie dogs hibernate.
By LINDA HALES Kansan Staff Reporter
BUT HE IS determined to find out.
Heaceck began to think about the project after a student who had cared for the prairie dogs before the completion of the natural history site noted that the prairie dogs had disappeared for three weeks at a time.
Hecock says the prairie dog also seal the holes from time to time and this intriguing feature.

The project, which Heacock says may take years, falls in the category of biotellement, the remote detection of invertebrates from the surface, broadcast directly from an animal.
Sen. McGovern To Talk at KU About Watergate
BEACON TRANSMITTERS are miniature electronic devices that, ideally, have a temperature to be measured, body temperature to be charted, says Heacock. Data collected by the transmitter would be monitored by a receiver which would register lifespersal similar to the reaction of the water.
Sen, George McGovern, D-S.D., will speak at 8 p.m. Nov. 30 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. His topic will be "Beyond the Watergate."
to gather information from the prairie dogs. He coasts says, he must develop and maintain his traps.
Surgical procedures would be used to implant the transmitters in the prairie dogs, and Heacock says they can enlist the aid veterinarian when he reaches that point.

McGovern was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1968 and was chosen the Democratic candidate for president in July 1972.
He is chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, the Senate Subcommittee on Indian Affairs. He is a member of the committees on agriculture and interior. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1897 to 1901.

major obstacle. Hecock must build a transmitter that is the right size, has a life span long enough to last throughout the supposed hibernation period, and will register at least one of the three body temperatures. This commercial market have such a capability.

HEACOCK HAS already sought advice from Hampton Shirer, KU professor of physiology and cell biology and electrical engineering.
"It's an ambitious project," Shirer says. But he also says there is no question that the project is an important one. Doctoral candidates have gone only half as far as Heckow wants to go, according to Shirer, in the tools with which to do the experiment.
"it's the kind of question he can devote a career to," says Shirer.
Hecock says he has just begun to realize the magnitude of the project. He says he is going to take on the task and made him think building the kind of transmitter he would want to "play like playing
HE SAYS he is a little discouraged but he will just go step by step.
The first of these steps will be to build a
large transmitter with which to experiment.
Oliver save he would be delighted to help
Neither the long term aspect of his project nor the expertise required to build the equipment seem likely to overpower Heacock.
“It’s going to take quite a bit of research,” he says, “and if I find out I can’t do it because I don’t know enough, I’ll just keep at it.”
Shirer says, "I'm quite confident that Brad's sophistication will grow."
Meanwhile, back at the Natural History Visitation Site, the territorial battles continue and the prairie dogs keep disappearing into their holes.
And He doesn't leave any clues to help Heaccock find out what they're doing down
