Robinson Proposes Tougher Inflation Program Than Ford
J Kenneth Robinson told a Quality Inn crowd in Front Royal he would push inflation relief beyond Ford with a balanced budget and mandatory spending ceilings. He estimated inflation could reverse next fall and blamed the fuel crisis for economic imbalance. He criticized the Senate for not deferring the federal pay raise and argued reduced government borrowing could lower interest rates. He cited foreign fuel dependence and warned against using grain exports as policy. He did not support Earl Butz's resignation but urged policy change. Byrd and Gilliam set to appear in Winchester Saturday.

Winchester School Lunch Prices Increase Across District
The Winchester School Board approved higher lunch prices due to rising cafeteria costs. High school meals rise from 40 to 50 cents, elementary and middle from 40 to 45 cents, and adult meals from 55 to 65 cents. A la carte items increase five cents. The plan cites low participation and satellite feeding costs as drivers of the deficit, with Handley and Morgan cafeterias reporting losses in the first month.
