in the fund to buy gifts for

Baytonians have
never failed to support it to
the fullest.
Even when the economic
outlook was dim, warm-
hearted Baytonians found
the money to meet the

assured themselves and
their families of a happier

The department reported
that:

cent last month, the same

economists expect this rate
to pick up in coming mon-
increase prices of tlis, the result of a long-
term grain shortgage. The
largest advances in
November were for pork,
cereal, bakery products,
dairy goods, fresh fruits
and vegetables.
Prices for beef and veal
declined due to a large
slaughter by farmers who
chose not to feed cattle such
high-priced grain. Poultry
prices also fell.
•All energy prices at the
finished goods level ad-

falling 0,4 percent in both

Gasoline prices jumped 1.7
percent after declining for

Black Hats For Mourning
AUSTIN (AP) — Health Commissioner Robert Bern-
stein said today his staff has to wear the “biggest,
blackest hat” in Texas because local officials do not
cope with waste disposal problems.
“Nobody at the local level wants to deal with it in any
significant way,” Bernstein told a conference on en-
vironmental issues.
“It turns out we wind up making the political and
economic decisions because the people at the local
level won’t,” he said.
Bernstein spoke at a conference sponsored by For the
’eople, Inc., a non-profit corporation working for
public education on environmental matters.

The price of all in-

the same as in October and
substantially more than
September’s 0.6 percent
rise.
