bu. bask. 2.50, fair Honored Michael J. Fenton, manager of the Grant Store, 798 S. 12th announced today that the store is honoring credit purchases made to Master Charge or BankAmericard.

Fenton noted, "This is one of the most important developments in our history. The Grant Company has offered its own credit facility since 1946, but with more than 61 million American families holding bank cards, we feel that we cannot afford to overlook those customers who want to use the cards as a convenient method of shopping." He added: "After extensive testing in the State of California, the company learned that even those customers holding Grant credit cards frequently prefer using their bank cards to avoid a multiplicity of bills. Of course, the vast majority of our customers find old fashioned cash-and-carry the fastest way to expedite purchases, but we'll be happy to provide applications for bank card credit to those customers desiring them." Banking industry sources note that Grants is the largest retailer ever to have installed bank card programs company- wide. All of the more than 1,150 Grant City and Grant stores from coast to coast are accepting BankAmericard and Master Charge. Only 1 Charge Is Dismissed The grand jury dismissed only one charge Monday as it acted on 106 criminal cases in preparation for the December term of criminal court which commences Dec.

9. Freed of a drug charge by the jury's action was Bruce Daub, 154 S.Hanover St. The defendants against whom true bills were returned Monday will be called for re- arraignment on Wednesday- At that time they can change their pleas to guilty or continue pleas of innocent that will result in trial action when the court term commences. Robert A. Gollam, West Penn Cleona, served as foreman of the jury.

Damage $500 Two cars received damage of $250 each in a crash at East Lehman Street and Lincoln Avenue Monday afternoon, it was reported by Patrolman Kenneth Gassert. Bruce D. Henning, 16, 24 Guilford and Joan Alice Newmaster, 40, 425 N. Sixth were listed as the drivers. Mortgage Rate In First Drop By United Press International Americans got warnings Monday of higher food prices and more unemployment, and the chairman of Ford Motor Co.

accused Washington of inaction in the middle of a recession. There was an encouraging note for home-buyers. The Federal Home Loan Bank Board said mortgage interest rates on new homes dropped to 9.17 per cent in October for the first decline in 17 months. "Interest rates might flatten out over the next three months." a board spokesman said. In the wake of a 400 per cent increase in sugar prices, the Ford administration was told 15,000 independent bakeries could go out of business unless sugar prices declined.

Sugar refineries said they were not to blame and a consumer organization called for a nationwide sugar boycott. On the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange Monday, the price of raw sugar dropped 2 cents a pound, but at 59 cents a pound it still threatens to push, the retail price to around 90 cents a pound when refiners, packagers and retailers add their costs and profits. Sugar.is not the only food item hitting recorder ices. The Agriculture Department said the cost of feeding a hypothetical family of 3.2 persons rose to $1,779 a year in October, nearly 10 per cent higher than November a year ago. Department economists predicted that by the end of the year food prices will be 20 per cent higher than in 1973, the biggest yearly jump ever.

U.S. automakers reported that mid-November sales were down 35 per cent from the depressed period a year ago, when the Arab oil embargo cut sharply, into car sales. The first nine selling days in November were the worst since 1970 in an industry already scheduled to layoff 200,000 workers before Christmas. Henry Ford II, chairman of Ford Motor said the auto industry has not yet hit bottom, and he was critical of the government for failing to take action.

Workers in the appliance and electronic industries also are hard-hit by production cutbacks. General Electric announced the idling of 6.800 workers nearly half of the work force at a major appliance facility at Louisville.

Ky. The workers will be idled for at least a week. GE said. The Commerce Department reported that the backlog of unsold goods held in inventory continued in October to outstrip sales, a certain sign that businesses will reduce production and lay off workers to bring balance between inventories and sales. The department said manufacturers hold an average $1.77 in inventory for every $1 in sales.

In other economic developments: on the stock market dropped slightly. The Dow Jones industrial average of 30 blue chip stocks dropped 3.36 points to 611.94. The New York Stock Exchange said member firms lost $34.1 million in the third quarter of 1974, bringing the loss for the first nine months to nearly $92 million. reserve assets slipped $3 million to $15.89 billion in October but the U.S. gold stockpile held steady at $11.65 billion, the Treasury Department said.

Convertible foreign currencies held by the Treasury and the Federal Reserve System declined $53 million to $193 million. dollar continued a general decline on all world money markets Monday, with the exception of Italy and Japan. The price of gold increased. Republicans accused Democrats of delaying President Ford's economic program, but 12 Democrats said they would seek approval of tax relief going beyond that proposed by Ford. major banks lowered their prime interest rates to between 10 and per cent, and an economist with the First National Bank of Chicago predicted the prime interest rate could drop lower.

Auto Does Nothing DETROIT (UPI) Ford Motor Co. Chairman Henry Ford II says new car sales may drop even deeper than mid- November's 34.7 per cent plunge while Washington sits idly by in the middle of a recession. "We're in the middle of a recession and we just can't sit there," Ford said Monday. "I don't see anything specific being done in Washington. We can't have a laissez-faire economics in a depression-like atmosophere." Predicting the worst may be yet to come.

Ford said he feared it would be mid- February before Congress takes some action on the economy that would help improve consumer confidence and stop the downward new car sales spiral. Only last week, the auto executive advocated a new 10- cent-a-gallon gasoline tax to raise money to aid idled workers. He new tax could push new car sales even lower. Ford's critical comments were made during an impromptu news conference at an Economic Club of Detroit meeting and came just hours before the industry reported its worst mid-November sales since 1970. when sales were depressed by an industry strike.

With the exception of that year, the Nov. 11-20 figures were the worst since 1960. Industry marketing executives pointed out that mid- November sales were up more than 23 per cent from the first 10 days of the month, following the traditional pattern of increased sales as the month progresses. There were nine sales days in mid-November and eight during the first 10- day period. Chrysler which will close five of its six assembly plants from Thanksgiving to Jan.

6, reported a 41.7 per cent drop in Nov. 11-20 sales. American Motors Corp. sales were down 38 per cent, General Motors reported a 34.3 per cent decline and Ford Motor Co. said its sales dropped 31.3 per cent.

Translated into jobs, the slumping sales and record inventories mean up to 200,000 U.S. and Canadian auto workers will be be off for parts or all of December. Almost 82,000 will remain idles after New Year's day. Asked about the slow sales. Ford said.

"I'm not convinced it's bottomed out yet." "I think Washington has to come up with some substantial programs because there's no consumer confidence in this country." Daily Penna.
