Price hikes hover between
wholesaler and retailer
By MATHIS CHAZANOV
United Press International
The impact of the Phase IV
price hikes hovered somewhere
between the wholesaler and the
retailer today. Only the me
chanics of marketing and the
speed of the mails stopped
immediate increases in the
price of food in many cities, a
UPI survey showed.
“Take a good look at that
meat,” said a supermarket
meat manager in Birmingham,
Ala. “You’ll never see it at
those prices again.”
“I’ve never seen prices go up
this fast,” said David Traver,
president of East Tennessee
Packing Co. of Knoxville, who
announced a $4 per hundred
weight increase in the price of
hogs. Illinois livetock markets
reported all-time high prices
for pork, which is currently in
short supply, with hikes of
between $4 and $5.50 per
hundredweight.
The view from the other side
of the counter was morose. In
New York, Alice Monroe, a
shopper at a Bohack supermar
ket, said, “Really, I don’t know
what I will do. The prices will
get higher and my monthly
income will stay the same. I’m
worried sick about it.”
They’ll Wait for Details
“Right now we have to see
where we stand,” said a
spokesman for the Publix
grocery chain in Miami. “We
have to get the guidelines first.
Hopefully they will arrive by
Monday.” Other food retailers
Schools receive
kindergarten grant
The Griffin-Spalding County
School System has received a
grant for the operation of three
developmental units (kin
dergarten classes) for five
year-old children.
There will be 10 children in
each of six classes to be housed
at the Anne Street School.
Admittance to these kin
dergarten classes will not be
based on family income.
There will be no tuition
charge for students attending
these classes.
also said they would have to
wait for details of the new
program to be sent to them.
Many said they would wait for
wholesale prices to change
before they posted new prices.
Under the new economic
program announced this week,
only the food and health
industries are allowed to raise
prices now. Other portions of
the economy will have to wait
until Aug. 12.
“It is going to have to be on
a dollar-for-dollar basis,” said
Rendall Ayers, spokesman for
Safeway’s Denver division,
which includes Colorado,
Wyoming and parts of neigh
boring states. “We couldn’t
increase any price arbitrarily
until we had the wholesale cost
to us from our supplier. Then
all we can pass along to the
consumer is the amount of the
increase.”
Texas Prices Jump
In Texas, prices of pork, eggs
and other foods jumped sharply
Thursday, according to the
state Agriculture Department.
Wholesale egg prices were
already on the rise and
expected to increase 10 cents a
dozen in the next week on the
retail level, making them about
85 cents for grade a large eggs.
Associated Milk Producers,
Inc., the nation’s largest milk
marketing cooperative, said it
will increase its prices as much
as 10 per cent in 20 states from
Texas to Illinois.
In Seattle, the wholesale
price of eggs immediately
Each kindergarten class will
have a teacher who is certified
in Early Childhood Education
and a paraprofessional who has
received college training.
A child age five on or before
November 30, 1973 and who is
handicapped in any way
(physical, mental or emotional)
is eligible for these kin
dergarten classes.
Some of these problems in
clude: language or speech
problems, hearing defect,
vision defect, kidney problems,
asthma, allergy, diabetes, poor
muscle coordination, over
agressiveness, problems coping
with failure in everyday living,
problems coping with
frustrations, areas of per
ceptual development, or dif
ficulty in the use of expressive
language.

this program) and who wish to
enroll their child should contact

jumped five cents a dozen. The
wholesale price for AA large
eggs there is now 60 cents.
Other sudden jumps were
expected in cereals, dog food
and products using sybean oil.
The price of white wheat
jumped 30 cents on the
Portland,Ore., market.
In Philadelphia, a spokesman
for Acme Markets said his
chain’s 600 stores in seven
Eastern states would begin
raising prices in the “near
future,” primarily on produce,
poultry and other perishable
items.
Dry Items Up
A supermarket manager in
Jackson, Miss., said prices
went up Thursday morning on
200-300 so-called “dry” grocery
items, including dog foods,
flour and meal.
One effect of Phase IV is that
operators of feed lots for cattle
will now be allowed to pass on
their higher costs to meat
packers, according to Cal
Santare, a spokesman for the
Western States Meat Packers
Association. “Their cattle is
now beyond our reach,” he
said, “yet we must buy it at
their increased prices and sell
it at a frozen ceiling price. It’s
such a stupid thing, I can’t
believe it.” He predicted a beef
shortage within a short time.
In San Francisco, Del Monte
Corp., the world’s largest
canner of fruits and vegetables,
said higher costs of raw
agricultural products will in
crease the price of the average
can of fruit or vegetables less
than half a cent per can.
Potato-chip addicts were wor
ried by bad news from Maine,
where the director of the state
Potato Commission said the
output of spuds was so small
that there might be a shortage
of the salty snack.
Stolen auto
found
wrecked
An auto which was stolen
during the night from the
Central of Georgia Railway
office parking lot, directly
across from the Spalding
Sheriff’s office, was found
wrecked on Futral road this
morning, some six hours after
the theft had been reported.
Its owner was E. G. Mathews
of Fayetteville, an employe of
Central of Ga.
Deputy David Head found the
auto abandoned and wrecked
while patroling Futral road.
Feeding habits
of small fish
AMERICUS, Ga. - As of
ficials of the State Game and
Fish Commission in Albany
recently collected specimans
for a survey on the eating habits
of bass, hundreds of smaller
fish were captured and kept,
setting the stage for later study
with the “brim.”
And Butch Cofer, a senior
biology major at Georgia South
western College in Americus is
conducting the survey among
blue gills, red ears and red
bellies through the Georgia
Intern Program.
Cofer left college four years
ago because as he said, “I was
simply tired of my major,
mathematics.”
But this summer, the
Americus native is spending
eight hours each day, disecting
fish and counting the different
particles in the stomachs of the
small specimans.
Noting that such smaller fish
are misnamed by laymen as
“brim,” Cofer measures,
weighs and disects each
speciman and logs information
concerning the location in Lake
Blackshear where each was
captured.
The Game and Fish Com
mission study is aimed at
determining if any competition
exists between bass and smaller
fish food-wise, and Cofer admits
that the study is not very helpful
to the fisherman.
“I’ve only found evidence of
one earth worm in the hundreds
of fish inspected so far,” he
said.
"Most of the food sources are
small water mites and beatles
that would not fit on a hook
anyway.”
And referring to the bass
study recently completed by the
Game and Fish Commission in
Albany, Cofer pointed out, “The
fisherman who is after the big
bass might be interested in
knowing that one bass
examined in that study had
eaten a medium sized bat.”
After a three year stretch in
the Navy, Cofer returned to
Georgia Southwestern College
where his father, Dr. H. E.
Cbter, serves as Chairman of
the Division of Science and
Mathematics.
Butch hopes to complete his
degree in biology and attend
graduate school before a career
in his field.
But while receiving 10 quarter
hours of credit through the
Georgia Intern Program this
summer, he has formed two
very positive conclusions. He
hopes to work with larger
animals in the future and he is
turning down all invitations to
fish fries.
Burglary
A burglary was discovered
this morning at the Broadway
Package Store on East Broad
way. R. H. Reeves, the owner,
discovered that the plate glass
had been removed from the
front door.
Around 10 cartons of cigarets
were missing.
