As of last January, the price had increased to 93 cents and diced beef is presently selling for $1.23 per pound, an increase of 61.8 per cent in two years. In 1971, sliced bacon sold for 55 cents a pound, increased to 59 cents in 1972 and sold for 95 PMENTS BELLS by LLS by JACKETS by LEVY'S TCHES BREW ady & Assembly ILP ITED 00 -2:00 The dozen works in the exhibit created by Ira Winarsky include an American flag which waves when spectators talk to it, a dance floor which plays music when someone stands on it and a "cancer machine" which goes through a dying action when a viewer who is smoking walks by.
