Steak Prices Drop Again
Most supermarket prices included in the Consumer Protection Association survey remained stable in Lawrence stores last week.
However, T-bone steak prices continued to decline at six stores by amounts ranging from six to 40 cents a pound. The average price in the 10 stores surveyed was $1.68 a pound, compared with $1.74 last week and $1.84 two weeks ago.
&P was an exception, increasing the price for T-bone from $1.69 to $1.89 a pound.
Oscar Meyer hot dogs, at an average price of $1.49 a pound, are much more expensive than regular ground beef, which can be made for less money, the difference is well over 50 per cent.
At Dillon's 8th store street the price of hot steak exceeded the price of T-bone steak.
The average price of cut-up frying chickens was stable at 59 cents a pound.
Milk prices remained at the higher levels reached last week. Cottage cheese which is less per cent fat, was also down.
The weekly food price survey is based on a list of 55 items compiled by students to determine the prices of separate pieces of information are published every week. One is a partial list of individual items and their prices. The other lists the prices of all the items which were found at all stores.
Kroger's downtown store last week is now 50 cents at both stores.
This week, Dillon's 6th Store store had the lowest market basket price of the 10

Israelis . . .
From Page One
The Tel Aviv command called its targets and Egypt "military and strategic."
It said the attacking Israeli jets had Egyptian air bases at Khurasan and Abu Hammad on an arc in the Nile Delta—27 miles from Cairo. The command also said a radar station on Egypt's Mediterranean coast were eight miles east of Alexandria had been attacked.
The Egyptians said their jets had shot down six of the attacking Israeli planes. The Cairo command claimed it had retaliated by dispatching Egyptian warplanes in attacks on Israeli posts on the northern coast of the Sinai, occupied by Israel since the 1967 war.
ON THE GROUND, an early commune broadcast by Cairo radio said, the Egyptian forces "are improving their advance positions east of the Suez Canal under air cover while the enemy forces continue to retreat eastward."
The Egyptians, who crossed the 103-mile waterway in force on Saturday for the first time since 1967, reiterated their claims of holding the entire eastern bank. Reports said they have advanced as far as 15 miles into the Sinai at one point east of Ismalia.
The Israelis acknowledged Tuesday that they had abandoned their main defense lines along the canal designed to prevent an Egyptian advance.
MAJ. GEN. Aharon Yariv told a news conference the Israeli pulled back to new lines two to three miles from the original Suez defense installations, known as the Bar-Lev line after former Chief of Staff Haim Bar-Lev.
Foreign correspondents were barred from both fronts and unable to make inquiries about their work.
"This is the most difficult battle we have faced since our war of independence in 1948," said Gonen. "We are faced by an enemy enjoying numerical superiority. The Egyptian forces are armed with the most up-to-date Soviet equipment."
He said Arab goals were to get Israel out of the territories occupied in 1967 and restoration of the national and legal rights of Palestinians. He also said the territory of Israel rightfully theirs.
President Anwar Sadat of Egypt said in a message delivered in his name at a Moscow meeting that he and President Hafez Assad of Syria were fighting "a war of liberation with the objective of establishing a just peace."

Snip, Snip— A Trailer, Er Bank, Is Born
If Lincoln really wanted the world to take note and long remember what went on at the cemetery dedication in Gettysburg, he insisted upon a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
By Larry Fish
Kenan Steff Reports
No such problem confronted the directors of the First National Bank of Lawrence yesterday, fortunately, so they planned a ribbon-cutting ceremony in June. The bank has been housed in a trailer on the Montgomery Wards parking lot at 23rd Street and Ridge Court.
Why he didn't is one of those mysteries that makes history interesting. The nation was engaged in a great civil war, and the soldiers' supply was tied up in military decorations.
It was allogither joint and proper that they should do that. After all, cemetery banks are a part of the opening of a temporary banking facility" is a landmark day in any community.
WARREN RHODES, president of the First National, explained the reasons behind the event at a breakfast at the Washington University recently, be said, Kansas law permitted banks to have only one drive-in facility, which had to be located within a half mile of the main bank. The law has been changed to allow banks to have one or all of which must be within the half mile.
"五-minute after the law was passed,
every bank in town was scrambling for
insurance."
Difficult as it is to imagine bankers slugging it out for real estate, the First must have been right on top of things because it had been spotted a spot on one of Lawrence's highest streets.
Rhodes said that he was keeping his comments at the breakfast brief because ominous clouds were building in the west. Could it be that a higher authority than even the State Banking Board was opposed to branch banking?
"YOU WILL notice the scarcissists at the breakfast," he told the 70 or so guests at the breakfast.
As if on signal, all 70 picked up their scissors from beside their plates and took a few practice snips in the air, just to sort of work fine. Sure enough, they all worked fine.
The meeting was adjourned to the Montgomery Ward parking lot. About 10 bank employees had a 150-foot blue ribbon across the parking lot in front of the trailer-bank. The guests stations themselves at critical points along it and waited for the word.
"The First National Bank South is open," Rhodes said, with classic simplicity.
Snipe, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, Snip,
Snip. Snip.
Not much remained of the ribbon, so the dummyfülled file inside the trailer to inspect it.
While the assembled dignitaries offered to cut off the ends of each other's necklaces with their new scissors, a bank official stood beside him clotting it to a short length of ribbon.
"Gee," he muttered, "it would have made a great picture."
