Edges Ahead Food Prices index was too small to be measured in terms of the purchasing power of the consumer dollar. It remained at 72 cents, in terms of what a dollar bought in 1961. The index, based on 1961 consumer prices equalling 100, rose only about half as much last month as it did in June during previous two years, the statistics bureau said. Housing costs which include cost of shelter and house- ol operations account for about one-third of the total index, while food prices account about one-quarter.

Statistics Canada said the higher housing component of the index reflected higher prices for new houses, higher rents, higher home-owner repair charges and higher telephone rates in On tario and Quebec. Higher prices also prevailed for sewing ma chines, electric frying pans and electric stoves. COMMUTERS PAY MORE The transportation index which- accounts for only one- eighth of the total index, re- fleeted higher train fares, higher inter-urban bus fares Ontario and Quebec and the new cash-only bus fare system introduced in Edmonton. The price of food in super- a and other stores, bought for home consumption, was actually a shade lower last month, but higher restaurant meal prices pushed the food index up by one-tenth of an index point. Clothing prices declined mainly because of June sales but higher prices prevailed for laundry, dry cleaning and shoe repair services.

Among the smaller compo nent. of the over-all index, the health and personal care index declined because of lower prices for toilet soap, razor blades and cleansing tissues.

Kill Father Holding Baby i HOUSTON (AP) Police killed a distraunht husband Thursday as he stood in i the middle of a street with a foot long butcher knife held to his baby daughter throat. Paul a 1 a 26, dis charged from the army about seven months ago after a tour of duty in Vietnam, was shot to death. Escalante's seven-months-old daughter, Paula, was taken by a waiting ambulance to hospital where she was in good condition with facial cuts from the knife. Police said a sister, Gina Vas- quez, 24, told them Escalante came home, drinking and angry at his wife, Esther "He grabbed the baby and a knife and yelled for us to get out," Mrs. Vasques.

said. "He said he wanted Esther to come and 'get Paula. He told us he'd kill her when she came, and if she didn't come he'd kill. the baby and himself." Police said when they arrived Escalante was screaming and holding a knife to his daughter's neck. 1 "We tried everything we knew to talk him out of the knife or at least stall him," Patrolman T.

O. Bresenhan said. We told him it was senseless to hurt his daughter if he was angry at his wife nothing would work." "When he advanced on men, the' baby fell," said Patrolamn L. W. Hoffmaster.

HIGHWAY -Southwest China's mountainous Szechwan province has 68.560 miles of highway. Some Nova Face Police By SANDY McKEAN HALIFAX '(CP) Talcs of crime-busting battles between cops and robbers are playing second fiddle to debates on the effectiveness of policing operations in some Nova Scotia towns.

One police department has been to "shape up pr ship out," another may be replaced by RCMP, one police chief is behind bars, another faces criminal charges, and some towns have hired, constables from private security agencies to assist local police patrols. I. G. MacLeod, Nova Scotia's deputy attorney-general, believes the dilemma is a financial one. If cities and towns are willing to pay only a certain amount for police services then "people of a certain level" are attracted, he says.

Joe Ross, a former motorcycle patrolman with the Halifax police department- and. director of the Police Association of Nova Scotia, says towns can expect only poor services from "cheap labor." He said municipalities must be willing to pay the price for adequate police STRIKE OVER PAY The controversy "came to a head in the southwestern town of Yarmouth earlier this week where the 10-man police force ended a six-day strike by accepting a new pne-year wage but not before agreeing to establishment of a committee to study methods of improving operations of the police department.
