Food Price Index
Al AII.Time High

The level of average retail
food prices in Boston advanc-
ed IL percent in the August
September period, it was an
nounced by Wendell D.
Macdonald, Regional Direc-
tor of the US. Department If
Labor's Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics.
Higher prices for meats,
poultry and fish (up 80 per-
cent? and higher prices for
food purchased to be prepared
at home Cup 2.6 percent) con-
tributed to the September adj
vance. The September index
of Retail Food Prices for Bos-
ton, 114.1 (1947-49-100) is 2.8
percent above the September
1855 level.
Meats, poultry and fish con-
tinued to advance in price and
in September were 2.3 per-
cent above the level of a year
ago. Most of the popular cuts
of beef and pork moved up in
price in September with round
steak, chuck roast, chicken,
hamburger, rib roast, veal cut
lets and pork chops higher at
the September level.
Higher meat prices were Off
set to some extent by lower
prices for fruits and vege-
tables. The fruits and vege-
table subgroup declined "a
percent during the one-month
period, but average prices are
still 40 percent above the
September 1855 level. Lower
prices were reported for pota-
toes, fresh tomatoes, onions,

Food Hints For
Homemakers

How to stretch the food
dollar is a popular question
with today's homemaker. Yes,
she is paying higher prices
for food to cut down on la
Dor in the kitchen. In the
food basket, there are more
expensive food items and more
convenient foods.
The family is eating more
processed foods now than ever
before. Quick and easy-to-
prepare foods are a boon to
the working housewife. Pre-
cooked and frozen foods and
prepackaged foods are being
demanded, too.
At the meat counter, we are
still "beefing about beef" as
prices remain high. The best
grades of beef, prime and
choice, show little sign of
dropping in price. The num-
Der of good fed cattle coming
to slaughter continues to be
low.
Pork prices continue to re-
main high. There is a good
selection of hams and picnic
shoulders to select at reason
able prices. Fowl is a good
buy this week. You can use it
in sandwiches, salads and for
creamed chicken.
The wise shopper can find
high quality and low priced
produce at the vegetable
counter. BeetS, carrots, cab
bage, and parsnipS are at at
tractive prices. There is av-
ailable a variety of squash;
