Milk, Flour Costlier; Pork. Cheese Down
By LARRY FISH
Kansan Staff Reporter
Flour and Coca-Cola, milk—and those items come in Lawrence Tuesday than
But not all of the news is bad. This week's Kansan survey of local food prices also shows a decrease in price on several items, notably pork and cheese.
Prices of 29 items were checked at six grocerys and compared with their prices of a week ago. Price changes are shown in the table below.
Two beef items continued to climb during the past week, while one item fell. Ground beef and chuck roast rose about five cents a pound and lower, raising seven cents a pound on the average.
One store raised the price of a five-pound sack of flour by nearly 25 per cent in the
past week, from 75 to 95 cents. Store spokesman was unavailable for comment
The price of milk crep upward again this week, with most stores increasing prices by a few cents a gallon. Coca-Cola joined the other commodities in the climb when most stores hiked the price of an eight-pack by a dime or more.
Most stores also were pricing cheddar cheese a few cents a pound less than a week
But pork chops and bacon were lower in most stores Tuesday. Pork chops were averaging a nickel less a pound, and in one store bacon was down 21 cents a pound.
Of the 29 items compared with last week's survey, 10 increased in price and six decreased. The remaining 13 showed no price change.

Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur Burns never challenged the contention of critics that Federal Reserve policies violated the rights of money had caused the housing slowdown.
"By late 1972, overbuilding and high prices had set the stage for a downturn in the real estate market."

Beef Prices Still Stable East Coast Survey Shows
Shoppers who are accustomed to pinching their pennies got a break at the supermarket yesterday: plenty of pet food and big sale signs in the windows.
By the Associated Press
After six months as Lawrence's first woman mayor, Hambleton says she still enjoys the job and she hopes other women will lead toward political involvement.
The situation still was unsettled several days after the end of the beef price ceiling and the beginning of regulations on other foods. But an increase in prices in some areas price in most areas were stable and that in a few cities there were declines.
"Mrs. Consumer has won the battle," said a New York meat wholesaler. He said more and more cattle were being sold, and there might be a glut on the market.

Hambleton was elected to the commission in April 1973 and served as its vice mayor throughout last year. The commission followed its tradition of selecting the previous vice mayor when they appointed her mayor in April 1973.

"ONE'S ENOUGH," Commissioner Fred Pence said. "I don't think they need to take the whole thing over. They should stay home and take care of the kids."
Barkley Clark, commissioner and associate dean of the KU School of Law, said Hampleton's sensitivity to human problems and problems of planning and aesthetics added a dimension previously lacking in the commission.

"I'm paying more for my beef, but the customers are," I said. Ron Pitts, manager of a Publix supermarket in Miami. "I can't raise my prices until I get new price sheets from the company, and I don't have them yet. I could get new prices lists this afternoon or tomorrow, and then prices will go up."
The Connecticut Agriculture Department said dairy prices were rising, with butter at $1.05 a pound, compared to 87 cents three weeks ago.
Commissioners Value Their Woman Mayor
"I would hope that in the future many more women seek positions both in the city and in the countryside."
"In terms of her tough-headedness and determination on things, there's no stereotype of a woman that applies to her whatsoever." Clark said. "She's mayor of Lawrence, and people deal with her as the mayor.
Fellow commissioners, while praising Hambleton as energetic and enthusiastic, vary in their opinions on electing more women to the comission.
Leon Lificich, a spokesman for the livestock market at Walterboro, S.C., said prices didn't seem to be affected by the lack of federal ceilings.
"The trend of the times was with me," she said, referring to her election as a candidate.
JOIN EMCK, commissioner and former mayor, said he had believed for a long time that women should be more involved in politics.
in some cases, store officials said they simply hadn't received new price lists from their suppliers.
"Her energy and enthusiasm are a combination which is very important in terms of running meetings and doing things for the city."
"It's not unusual to have a 40-hour week," she said.

Hambleton said continuation of the revenue sharing program depended on how much money they received.

To achieve effective city government, the city commission and the management staff must work together closely, Hambleton said.
