THE HARTFORD COURANT: Frid.y. October 26, 1971 59 Food-Buyers Receive Only $24 Of Potential $95 Drop in Costs Youth Home Start Looms have enough money now to The annual -rate figures Willi- through to consumers all of last month's drastic 11.3 per cent decline in raw farm product prices. I Middlemen's Spread WASHINGTON (UPI) -Food retailers and processors last month passed on to consumers only $24 of a potential $95 drop in the annual rate cost of a typical food market basket, an Agriculture Department report showed Thursday. The report showed the annual rate retail cost of the market basket in September was $1,629, a $24 drop from the August record of $1,653. The 1.5 per cent drop was the first reduction in a year and was the sharpest for any month since August 1956.

However, calculations showed the September retail decline could have been 5.7 per cent if the food industry had passed in May Last summer Councilman William A. DeBella, chairman of the finance and personnel committee, charged that the state had allowed conditions at the existing detention home to deteriorate to a point where the safety of the youngsters housed there was being jeopardized. Since then, the city has corrected code violations at the facility and has begun negotiations on a new lease with the state for its future use. It appears the city will agree to continue to correct code violations as the 1 a 1 while the state will-agree to pro vide the city prompt notification of any such violations. Still under negotiation are clauses covering who will be responsible for maintenance and who will pay for the needed re pairs at the detention home.

DiBella has said he won't rec ommend the council approve any new lease with the state un til he receives a firm date for completion of construction of the new facility. 7 DAYS A WEEK 6 A.M. and 1P.M. DAILY aboard the BLACK HAWK Irom Bob's Dock Exit 74 Conn. Tplte.

Two More Arrests Made In Reported-Holdup Case Identity Sought State police are seeking the man pictured above for questioning in the disappearance of 7-year-old Janice Pockett from her Tolland home.

The composite photograph of the man was put together by a woman who lives in the Anthony Road area of Tolland who saw such a man driving a late model car with a dark brown top and a medium brown bottom at the time the girl disappeared. The women's information is the first lead police have had for several months in seeking the girl who was the subject of a massive manhunt rafter she disappeared on July 26. Anyone who volun teers information is promised it will be kept in confidence by state police. They said the wom an volunteered the Information during a recent canvass of the neighborhood by detectives. By EVERETT W.

LUMBERT Two more Enfield men were arrested by South Windsor police Tuhrsday in connection with a holdup report at the Gas Land service station- on Sullivan Avenue in South Windsor Tuesday night. Charged with third-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit third-degree larceny were Philip A. Prue, 19, and Andrew Siana, 19, both of 96 Pleasant Enfield. Prue was released under $2,500 nonsurety bond pending his appearance in Circuit Court 12 in East Hartford Nov. 19.

Siana was held in lieu of $2,500 surety bond and scheduled to appear in Circuit Court 12 today. Arrested in the case Wednesday was Clifford A. Hemmeler, 18, of Spring Street, Enfield, on a charge of third-degree larceny. He was released on his promise to appear in Circuit Court 12 Nov. 10.

1974 REINELL Remember how you always wished you had a neighbor who knew a lot about cars? The farm value of market basket foods in September fell tto an annual rate of $74 off $95 from the August peak. But it was largely offset by a $71 increase in the spread between farm and retail prices. The middlemen's spread, representing costs and profits for processors and grocers, jumped from an annual rate of $814 in August to a record $885 in September. The 8.5 per cent gain was the biggest percentage jump since November 1946. Hemmeler's arrest Wednesday came after an investigation by the South Windsor Detective Division of his report that he had been robbed about 9:30 p.m.

Tuesday by two gunmen while working alone at the service station. Hemmeler reportedly told police that the men never left their car and took a roll of bills he was using to make change. He said he was unable to furnish any details on the car they were driving, and described the "holdup men" only as two white males. Police said the vagueness of his story promoted a day-long investigation by Detective ad-ward Kasheta and Youth Officer Thomas Hart, which led to Hemmeler's arrest. Lt.

William Ryan of the South Windsor Police Department said about $114 of the $190 reported stolen by Hemmeler has been recovered. 24' Hardtop STARCRAFT SALES mmmmmsm You just got one It With 188 Mercury IO, dinette, galley unit with icebox, stainless steel sink, electric faucet, 7.5 gal. water reservoir two-burner fliptop alcohol stove, aft bulkhead.
