Veeder-Root Employes To Get Pay Rise Dec. 3 Effective Monday, Dec. 3, the pay of employes of Veeder-Root Inc. will be increased from six to 11 cents an hour, the company's employes were told in a letter from Leon J. Dunn, vice president.

The increase will affect the earnings of approximately 160 men and women who are employed in Veeder-Root's temporary quarters in the Rothert building, Twelfth street and Twelfth avenue. The company is operating in the downtown building while avaiting the completion of its new one-and-one-half million dollar plant at Burns Crossing. In his letter, Vice President Dunn said that it is Veeder-Root policy to pay wages which will be at least equal to those paid for comparable work in the area. "We all like pay increases," Dunn wrote in his letter. "We all know, too, that increases are possible when we do a good job-in production and in the quality of our work.

As we continue to work together successfully at Veeder-Root, we will benefit through increased income, improved benefits, and security for ourselves and our families." Operations began early this year in the Rothert building, when a few employes were hired by the local manager, Rex Bathurst. This number has grown steadily to the present complement of 160, and it is expected that the new plant will eventually employ nearly 300 persons from the Altoona area. Veeder-Root will manufacture in Altoona a gasoline pump computer, an oil meter register, and will produce die castings for its overall operation.

Hi there, Janie Williams The chorus was accompanied by Carol Reifsteck on the piano and the string section of the orchestra. A duet "Bless This House" sung by Donna Viti and Fred McLaughlin was truly outstanding. A little off the serious side was the clever and well done arrangement of "Over the River, and Through the sung by Fred McLaughlin, Bill Womer, Mary Jo Maniglia, Jean Humm, Carolyn Gibson, and Kathy Mock.

Sound effects of the horses in this song were done by Dewayne McKnight and John Robertson. I'm sure we are all looking forward to some more entertainment from that promising eighth grade chorus.
