"Television variety shows pay these kids $125 for one performance and a few rehearsals,” he said. “At Copa City we*ve been paying SBS for 12 shows a week, six days a week.” Weinger announced he’s shoving his pay scale up to SIOO to meet the competition and cutting his TUB DAILY RECORD, DtTNN, N.

This year, tired busi ness men will have to rest their eyes on 12 dancers and that's that. “In addition to the salary, we have to provide a lot of extras such as maid service, a season's beach passes and sun-tan lotion and free steak dinners six nights a week," \^lorertmgs(^ t May the spirit of happiness and good will that fills this season live in your \\ home and bleu your loved ones for V *1 the many years to come.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that retail food prices rose more than one per cent one of the highest jumps in months between Oct. 29 and Nov. 15 As of Nov. 15, the retail food index stood at 231.4. This was 131.2 per cent ver the base perid of 1935-39 and 14 per cent over the pre-Korean level. FOOD BIG ITEM Because food prices are the big gest factor in the government’s overall cost of living index, the index is almost certain to show an other rise when the figures come out next month. The Index already is at a record high. Price Stabilizer Michael V. Di- Salle gave advance warning yes terday that the nation may expect even higher prices. He told the joint congressional “watchdog” committee on defense production that it would be dan gerous to romove any price con trols because the BLS index has shown a steady rise in living costs during the past two months. “The dangers of inflation and speculation are too severe to per mit unnecessary risks,” DiSalle said in a memorandum to the committee. HIGHER CEILINGS The Office of Price Stabilization meanwhile paved the way for high er prices by authorizing manufac turers and processors to seek high er ceilings on thousands of pro ducts including coal, clothing, formances per week. Cupid used to be a good lure. At least nine of Weinger’s girls have married millionaires! “I used to be able to guarantee at least two tables of Texas oil men or Cuban plantation owners.” he said. ”1 still can, but it suddenly means nothing.” He brought that last point up with several of this year’s pros pects, but the results were notably flat. ’’l get my proposals from those gents by mail, now,” said one sweet little thing. “I’m papering my closet with ’em.” Weinger is desperate. “I’m now interviewing prospects who don’t know how to dance,” he said. “That’s about as far as- I can go.” ■■■* - wrm bn bpt H mft Vll® 'K Siting!/, must bring to I I mJj ' of Christ.

The order was issued under the Cape hart amendment to the controls law. The BLS retail food survey, made twice a month, includes samplings of prices in Washington, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York, Rich mond and San Francisco. Fruits and vegetables averaged 4.7 per cent higher during the first half of November, largely because of a 7.8 per cent Increase in prices of fresh produce. The largest in creases were reported for green beans, which rose 44 per cent, and cabbage, up 35 per cent. Prices of lettuce, carrots, potatoes and apples also jumped.
