United Auto Workers Union members approved a new three-year contract with Ford which calls for irrn mediate wage hikes of 20 cents an hour for production workers and 50 cents an hour for skilled tradesmen. The U. S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics says autoworkers now are paid $3.41 an hour. Wages are to be increased 3' per cent in each of the contract's remaining two years. The contract also provides for a guaranteed animal income.

Monuments Hippies Mean Something To Teachers At Parley ODAY'S THODBHI By GENE TAYLOR No matter when news occurs, whether it be at the dawn of day or in the shadows of night, eager beaver reporters report it almost as fast as it happens. We are ths most news hungry and at the same time the best news- fed people on earth. We take this privilege for granted, but we should also remember a fact of business life. It costs money lots of money to publish a newspaper or to operate a radio or TV station or network.

Where does most of vertising. this money come from? Ad- Since we are quick at times to condemn the antics and some of the routine of our communications media, let's also be fair and give credit where and when credit is due. Newspapers and all other media should be congratulated for the way they report the pro and con issue of health hazards in smoking. The tobacco industry is big business, spends lots of money in advertising. Yet, the health hazards reports are fairly featured and the media knows very well the reports (true or false) can affect their income and profit Whether just a few or a lot of people have or will change a smoking habit is beside the point.

The publishers and b'roadcasters deserve a pat on the back for their courage in being willing to risk dollar profits in behalf of a possible public interest.
