Be cause the mining industry has a universally bad image and high school students either do not know about this field or have a completely false impression about mining AMONG THE REASONS this field is attractive: (1) Good pay ($12 20000 median range) (2) Opportunities for rapid ad vancement (3) A mining en gineer has the security of working in a rapidly expanding BASIC industry which supplies the raw materials for a mineral and energy dependent economy We are not going to stop mining coal or any other mineral (4) As dur non replaceable resources (i coal metallic and nonmetallic ores various types of market able stone etc) are being ex hausted mining engineers are sorely needed to develop and exercise more sophisticated methods of exploration development and production and to solve objectively the critical problems of environ mental control We are con cerned that these problems will not get solved unless we can get additional technical and managerial people for the in dustry Impressive opportunities exist in mining for the person who wants responsibility op portunity and adventure and is simultaneously devoted to alleviating world wide shor news You might call our news "glad tidings of the times" We have to give you the bad with the good but that's the way it is The news doesn't just go away if you ignore it Don't Be glad you can know We try to make you glad that you do Watch the men from glad newscasting On Channel 9 mm APPLIANCE MART 873 3246 Thing By Amy Vanderbilt Pants Miss Vanderbilt: I have been very interested in the things you have been writing about pants wearing for women I thought you might enjoy something I found In a copy of the Paris Herald when I wa?
