He retired two years ago at age 77 after two successful careers. He worked for Armour Co. as a clerk for 28 years, quit the business and opened a grocery store which he sold 30 years later. He married when he was 45 years old and raised two sons "with a little help frommywife." And he reads a great deal. a cripple.

I naturally, took a liking to books, magazines and newspapers," he In fact, that is the reason I went to see Herman and Irene Jones Monk his reading, H. E. Monk has been taking the Daily Mail for 60 years perhaps longerthan any other subscriber. "I was born and grew up out near Sissonvilie." he said fromhisbigeasychairathis home in Beckley. "It was a rough life, being a half helpless cripple from infancy.

My brothers and sisters were unmerciful in their treatment of me. They never regarded me as 'different' and I had to live up to it as best I could. My schoolmates were sometimes savage. They cut me down with their references to me being crippled. But I got through the eighth grade at the old Coon Creek School, about average for a boy in 1AR "In the Spring of 1916 I went to Charleston to take the Uniform Teachers Examination, and while I was there 1 walked into the old Charleston Daily Mail on Virginia Street and made the man a proposition: "We only get the mail out my way twice a week," 1 told him, and asked if he could send me "the paper twice a week instead of every day.

He agreed, and so 1 started my subscription to the Charleston Daily Mail. The man I talked to was Mr. Clark. (Walter Eli Clark, owner and publisher of the Daily Mail from 1914 until his death 36 years later, He got the paper that way for two years while he taught at Coon Creek, then he gave up teaching, came back to Charleston and got his "master's degree" in business at the old Capitol City Business College. 9 45 II 0 19 7 5 30Vi 53 2 29 1 9 4 1 191 3414 34 'A if.

And his Daily Mail, delivered to his driveway every afternoon at 308 Beaver Avenue in Beckley. taken the Daily Mail in Kanawha, Fayette and Raleigh counties for 60 years, and I guess I'll go on reading it till my eyes give out."

Auto Workers; GM Meet Today DETROIT (AP) The United Auto Workers, armed with a list of demands that begins with "job security," meets with Genera! Motors today to open this year's round of contract talks with the nation's auto industry. The UAW opens its triennial negotiations with other car makers later this week as it begins the task of reaching new three year accords covering 680.000 U.S. and Canadian workers: The talks to replace the current pacts which expire in midSeptember will affect more workers than any other industry agreement being worked out this year. UAW President Leonard Woodcock was to lead union negotiators into a largely ceremonial hand shaking, picture taking session with GM bargainers, headed by labor relations vice president George Morris. 'Similar meetings will be held at Ford Motor Co.

on Tuesday, Chrysler Corp. on Wednesday and American Motors Corp. on Thursday. The start of formal talks this year has been preceded by unusally optimistic predictions from both sides that peaceful settlements can be reached without a national strike for the first time since 1964. The issue of jobs how to create them and preserve them is the union's chief demand this year as it seeks to provide workers better protection from another disastrous industry slump.
