During the three months ending with June, householders were buying food at the rate of $1,095 a year, compared with $1,038 during the same period last year, the Agriculture Department reported.

And except for fruits and vegetables, the cost of every item in the average market basket has gone up. The report lent statistical force to widespread housewife complaints over the rising prices of bread, milk, meat and other staples. These prompted the current investigation into bread prices by a House agriculture subcommittee. It was to resume hearings today. But the panel's chairman, Rep.

Graham Purcell, discounted the consumer complaints during the subcommittee's third session on Wednesday. The public should pay for bread costs just as it pays for everything else Purcell said, "without bellyaching." He also said an education program is needed to teach the public it should pay for food costs so everyone can make a profit. It was brought out during the session that bread prices have risen nearly 100 per cent since the 194749 base period. Riots Laws of investigation and the testimony of 40 witnesses.

And the front porch, lawn and sidewalk. The attic and second and first floor rooms were filled ceiling-high with a fluffy white foam in six minutes. Occasion was a demonstration of the latest in fire fight-, ing equipment put on by the Fire Protection and Sprinkler Associates, of Marion. A portable "foam maker" that four men can carry was placed on a bank beside the house, a nylon tube rolled out and inserted through a second story window and the engine switch thrown. The slack tube puffed up as foam streamed through it into tba empty house.

Richland County firemen, industrial safety personei and neighborhood kids lit out for the front porch of the house. Peering through dirty windows, they saw foam cascade down the staircase into the living room. In two minutes, the foam was knee-deep. In three, over a man's head.

The first floor was engulfed. Fire Protection employe Paul Oberdier opened the front door, and the foam flowed out just under his shoulders. Others on the porch scampered off, as the foam spread over the porch, out into the yard and onto the sidewalk. "Hey, Johnny, some guys went right in that," a youngster said, referring to the pile of white suds in the front yard. Youngsters who thought they'd follow Oberdier in had to be chased away for safety's sake, although not before they picked up a coating of "soapsuds" on bare legs.

While amusingly different for spectators, the fire protection company had sales on its mind early yesterday afternoon in inviting Richland County volunteer firemen, the Mansfield Fire Department and industrial safety personnel to the demonstration.

Bond issues already on the fall ballot are for Mansfield, Clear Fork Valley and Lexington schools and one for a county child care institution.

It asks Mansfield voters to approve or reject the ordinance which would allow an appropriation of $1,250,000 from the general fund to pay the salary increases. Voters will vote "yes" or "no" on the measure. The Shelby annexation issue asks voters of the unincorporated area of Jackson Township to approve annexation of church property lying southeast of Shelby, off State Route 39.

The BVR, backstopped by federal fund3, can further aid released inmates by arranging for and paying for advanced training: vo-cational, on-the-job, or academic. THE CENTER WAS ORIGINALLY Kolo-ski's brainchild, but ties in neatly with Janis' wish to better prepare for the future public lives of the inmates. "The role of our correctional institutions is to rehabilitate the inmates under our charge. It is vital that we leave no stones unturned in helping them to reach this objective, both while in our care and on parole," Janis said. Welch has been instrumental in starting BVR centers at six division of Mental Hygiene institutions, as well as Madison Opportunity Village in Madison County, and at the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield.

"High expansion foam has the advantage of traveling around obstructions and into spaces which may otherwise bedifficult to reach," Plumer added. The foam, which permits "shallow breathing," can act as a safe refuge for any person trapped by heat or smoke, Plumer stated. Plumer answered questions on the new fire fighting device in a pre-demonstration meeting at Mansfield Tire, where a film showing the foam's abilities was shown. The tire company provided house for the demonstration and parking for guests. Safety Director Douglas Hazen said he'd "like to see" the city buy a foam maker but there is "always the difficulty of finances." The portable unit demonstrated yesterday costs $1,500.

Meehan announced that the Urban Beautification Project was 65 per cent complete and that the tentative completion date is Sept. 1.

JK i-A: AA(v Planners Proposed A discussion of the feasibility of relocating downtown a $12 million shopping center and apartment complex proposed for the Finney Ave. area was held at the combined meeting of the Richland County Regional Planning Commission and Executive Committee yesterday. The discussion resulted from a letter to Regional Planning Director Edward T.

Meehan from William McCarrick, chairman of the city Zoning Committee, questioning the proposed site. Fred Tonnemacher, chairman of the Richland County Board of Commissioners spoke against the Finney Ave. location. "I am not concerned because I live in the area; I've moved before and I can move again. My main concern is for the future of other residential areas," Tonnemacher said.

The people of Washington Township agreed to annexation to the city because they wanted zoning protection, he continued. "If someone wants Shopping that area rezoned for business in a few years, are we going to give in then," he asked. Meehan said the only way the Planning Commission can look at the problem effectively is as an extension of an already existing business district. He also stated that he would not conduct a feasibility study for locating the complex either downtown or at the Finney farm without instruction from the Planning Commission. The discussion was tabled when the commission approved a motion that the project developer be present at the next meeting to present definite plans.

Meehan said he would also invite McCarrick to attend. In other action the commission voted to accept the resignation of Robert Schraedly, planner. Schraedly's letter of resignation said that when the planning commission created the Metropolitan Park District and appointed a three-man park commission, it was apparent that they would need help. He volunteered and was K1 mfA I A tC; -J 4 TP SAA AJ.
