Food prices up OTTAWA (CP) - Canadian food prices elimbed more rapidly during e Train e said cheaper KELOWNA, B.C, (CP) — Restoration of the scenic Kettle Valley Railway as a tourist attraction can be done for a fraction of the cost estimated by the provinclal government, says A feasibility study prepared for the Okanagan- Similkameen Tourist Association. Brian Morris, association president, said Wednesday that the study, prepared by three Vancouver consulting firms, says a 100-kilometre stretch of the line can be saved for $1.8 million. The provincial estimate of restoring the same portion of the Iine is §26 million, base on figures supplied by CP Rail, owner of the abandoneb railway. , “The engineers said the CPR estimate which the government uséd was done without the benefit of an Inspection of the line,’ Morris szid. “They sald the railway had probably based its estimate on records of similar renovations.” the four weeks ending Sept. 14 than at any time since last May, the agriculture department reported Wednesday. - The department's monthly . _ survey of food prices showed that it cost 14.4 per cent more to buy grogeries on Sept. 14 than one year earlier, This compared with a mid-August survey showing food prices had risen at an-annual rate 11 per cent. The department, which took over the food price survey shortly before the federal antiinflation board closed it doors, blamed rising beef, pork and dairy prices for most of the in- creage. The survey says it now costs $61.49 to meet the weekly nutritional needs of a family of four. The August price was $61.43 and the comparable September, 1978, was $53.92. The recent acceleration in the pace of food price in- creases comes after .a- summer respite. In late June and early July, for example, food prices were rising at an annual rate of nine per cent compared with increases of as much as 22 per cent in February and March.

Later, the talks went behind closed doors and the mood was described as cordial.. The dispute, in which the United States backed Egypt, underlined the wide gap in the Egyptian and Israeli concepts of self-rule for 1.2 million Arabs living in territories seized by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war. Khalil, Prime Minister. Mustafa Egypt's chief negotiator, said an at- mosphere of good faith had been shattered by the decision on private land pur- chases, announced by Igrael’s cabinet on the first anniversary of the Camp David summit. - The summit, which ended Sept. 18, led to the Egyptian- Israeli peace treaty signed at the White House in March, which in turn paved the way for autonomy talks, now in their sixth session, “The timing was not proper, especially when we were endeavoring so hard to ask other parties, the Palestinians, to join,” Khalil said in his opening remarks, Heavyweights square off WASHINGTON (AP) - Sounding more and more like rival candidates, President Carter and Senator Edward Kennedy ‘are offering a preview of what it would be like if they clash for the 1980 Democratic. presidential nomination. . Kennedy, showing every sign of moving steadily toward a presidential bid, planned to appear at a ~ poolside reception preceding 8 $1,0H-a-plate Democratic fund-raising dinner. He told dinner organizers that he would skip the meal. Carter is the featured dinner speaker. The president was in New York City on Tuesday and he questioned whether Kennedy would fare any better with Congress than he has. Kennedy was in Washington speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists and he repeated his criticism of Carter's energy policies. Carter aides have said the president would not raise as an issue Kennedy's reaction to crisis conditions when he drove a car off a bridge at Chappaquiddick in 1969 resulting in the death of Mary Jo Kopechne. - Peace talks in jeopardy LONDON (AP) — Zim- babwe Rhodesia’s embattled administration is prepared to walk out of the London peace talks if Britain tries to take aver its white-led security forces or integrate its mainly black troops into a guerrilla-dominated army, a government delegate said Wednesday. The delegate, a senior ' minister who asked not to be identified, said the blacks in Prime Minister | Abel Muzorewa's delegation were even more insistent than the whites about retaining the . security forces, “T would say that on this issue we are prepared to pack our bags and go home. We will not consider even GRAND OPENING. —NEXT DOOR= handing our forces over to some British general.”* The minister, a black, added: “If the British think we have conceded all the . way until now, then they are going to get a shock over this one. We can't give up our forces because; if we did, there would be no going back.” The minister’s remarks underlined the potential deadiock looming next week when the 16-day, British- convened conference is scheduled to discuss setting up an interim administration and composition of a new army. .
