MAR CH, 1973

editorial cOlnlnent
• The 93rd Congress is now in session and organized labor
is looking to this Congress to poss much needed social and
economic legislation for the benefit of all the people of America .
Among the most importont programs ore a good workable
National Heal'h Insurance progrom, tax reform that will bring
justice and fairne ss for all who eorn or hove toxable incomes.
a protective low that will definitely protect the consumers, good
adequate housing for low and middle-income families , also other
progressive legislation in the oreas of education , better job safety,
environmental protection in such a manner thot the progress of the
country in other oreas is nol hindered .
Congress must reform the present outdated trade policy that
is causing a tremendous increase in unemployment, stop
exportation of capitol and technology that has wiped out many
industries so essential to the economy of our notion. The AFl·OO
and its affiliates completely support the Foreign Trade and
Investment Act, better known as the Burke-Hartke bill. Members of
our Brotherhood employed in the electronics industry have been laid
off by the thousands and thousands. Steel, textiles , shoe , business
machines, musical instruments, sporting equipment , pattery and
many other industries have been wiped out and the workers have
no recourse. Burke· Hartke would restore a reasonable foreign trade
policy by giving American made products a share of the market
and eliminating tax advantages to foreign investment by U.S.
based conglomerates whose only concern is to take advantage of
cheap foreign labor and making a profit for a privileged few.
The IBEW will certainly continue to fight for the passage of the
Burke-Hartke bill and all members of our Brotherhood are urged to
send the letters and personal messages to their representatives in
Congress to vote favorably on this economically important
legislation.
For years organized labor has had to fight legislation that would
weaken and cripple the trade union movement, the enemies of
organized labor have not given up. They once agoin will push for
legislation that would destroy collective bargaining. Continued
efforts will be mode to force through Congress laws that would put
compulsory arbitration on the books ond deprive workers ond their
union s of their legislotive right to have free collective bargoining,
do away with the Notional Labor Relations Boord, and emasculate
all federal labor standards lows .
Organized labor's members must continue to be involved in the
many vital social and economic issues in order to assure them a
decent way of life . Today, even more so than before there is a
need for the trade union movement to stond together and work
together for not only our progress but for our survival.

• The Mory of the Panama Canal
is a colorful skein in the history of
the civili.red world. Vasco Nunez. de
Balboa , discoverer of the I'acific
Ocean. is bclic\'cd to be Ihe first
person to conce ive Ihe idea of unit-
ing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
by a mom-made strait there.
Charles V of Spain was the first
monarch to grasp the significance
o f a canal to join the two oceans.
He initiatetl the lirst investigat ions
in 1523. and in t 534. he onlercd
the governor of I)anarna to make a
formal survcy of the routc. follow-
inS the Chagres and Rio Grande

Panama Cana l takcs today.

nations of the .... orld ga\'c earnest

wa" urgetl by geogr;lphers and navi-

Located approximately nillc de-
grees alx\\c the equator. ncar the
geographical ccnter of the western
herni ... phcre. the Panama Canal is a
mall-IIIade ... trait joining the Atlantic
and I~acific Oceans. It servcs as an
immellse funnel for ships moving
(rom olle ocean to the ot her and be-
tween the great and obscure ports of
the world .

facturing Operations, 1. 0 .. spoke on
subjects vi tally important to the
common good of (he jndu~try . In
discussing Gould. Inc., Brother
Menger Mresscd the company's con-
tinued acquisitions of properties
outside the battery industry, saying
that such acquisitions naturally
change the bargaining position dra-
matically for the company. He also
said that \ 1 of the council's eflorts
should be foc used on the immedialc
need of strengtheni ng bargnining
power.
International Representative Keith
MCAlilcy reported on efforts of the
1. 0. in regard to coordinated bar-
gaining. He said that the Industrial
Union Department, AFL-CIO, had
contaeled 1111 internationa l unions
aOOUi bargaining rights with Gould,
Inc., requesti ng th ai they reply as to
whether or not their unions arc
interested in the idea of a joint
effort.
RC!.ponsc to Ihe idea has bel!n
encouraging. Brother McAliley said,
and it is tentatively planned to bring
the various organizations together
for further discu~ions. This meet-
ing will be held in the latc spring or
carly :,ummer of 1973, Brother
MeAliley stated.
The council has taken the neces-
sary action to plan Ihe next council
meeting in conjunction with the
joint meetings of the international
unions. In this manner, the IBEW
will be fully represented by all
within the Gould st ructure.
Intcrnational Representative Don~
aid Crevier reported on the con~
linuing problems concerning the
pe nsion fo r the Marathon workers,
as the plant in Wausau, Wisconsi n,
closed more than 16 mon ths ago,
and no pe nsions have been paid yet.
Gould h:ls offl!rl!d a partial settle~
ment to employees, a matter which
the), will \'ote on in the ncar futurc.
The delegates spent one full day
in going over thc labor agreement,
paragraph by paragraph. in order to
further familiarize themselves with
the intent and meaning of various
sections.

• Hi, ladies ! Arc you taking a
b rCal hcr these days, as I am, after
the hectic-hut fun - holiday sea-
son?
Speaking of the holiday season
reminds lIl e of the impression thai
many hostesses made on me at their
parties and dinners with their usc
of beautiful. shining sterling si lver,
and I was wondering if you, by any
c hance. took notc of the faci that
ste rling sil ve r is mo rc POPU!:'f today
than ever before?
[ t see ms a shame that so many
people have silver lind hide it away
in a drawer. almO<iI as if they arc
afraid to show iI or U'\C it. There is
nothing that compliments a table
sett ing more than silver-and, at
the same time, compl iments the
family members or guc~ls at dinner.
I have a friend who loves to Cn{cr-
lain-formally or informally-but
regardless o f the occasion. she al·
ways uses her "good !.i lver." It may
be that fri ends just drop in a nd she
invites them for Ix>t·l uck supper o r
she may plan a party. a luncheon,
or a fo rm al dinne r. b ut she <llw<lys
makes her company feel extra· spe·
cial by selling the dining room table
and usin g her sterl ing silver. Silver,
of eour~e, is correct fo r any occa·
sio n. and when it comes to setting :t
formal table, sil vcr--or gold-is a
must.
I think that anyone who owns
silver feels as if she owns one of the
good th ings of life and takes the
pride of ownership in its beauty and
warmth. The nice thing about sil ver
it that constan t usc becomes it. The
patina o f time increases its beauty,
when it gai ns the soh luste r that is
unique to the best .. ilver. Use never
hurlS sil ver. In fact, its intrinsic
va lue inc reases with age, and those
litt le surface scratc hes that you
might think hurt it and ruin its

Profile of the American Worker
• The American worker is c ur~
rcntly the !>ubjcCI of many books
and magazine and newspaper arti-
cles. Yet most of these publications,
with all of the projections and COrl-
fusing statistics, fai l 10 fulfill the one
basic criterion ncccs~ary for an un-
der-Handing a nd inte rpretation of
the data they have collected. They
do not define "the American
worker," Where docs he live a nd
work? What k ind of work docs he
do? What role do \\omcn play?
What is his or hc:r average wage?
These arc just a few of the ques-
ti ons currently bei ng answered by
the con tinuing tabu lat ion of census
statistics in the ~pcc i fic arc:! of
"general social and economic char-
acteristics."
~Io\'c to Ihe Suhurbs
There were approximately 82-
million people in Amcrka's work
fo rce at the time the data for Ihe
1970 Census was collected. Of this
num ber, about half were located in
the nea rby suburbs.
But even as this article is being
writlen, change is taking place. The
New York Times cond ucted a study
of 1960 and 1970 Census figures in
which a compari1>on of suburban
and central city job location" was
made. Thcy fo und that in Ihe na·
tion's 15 largo.:1>1 metropolitan areas,
the inner·ci lY jobs had declined from
63 p~r cent to 52.4 pcr C~llt Over
Ihe decade. and lIuburbs in lIome
of the 15 ci ti ~'l1 already had a major·
ity of the jobs.
In addition, the Times' study also
rew.lled that of the 10.1 · l11illion
jobs located in the \uburbs of the
15 largest cities, 8.()..million aro.:
filled by people who both live and
work there. Bolh job1> and jobhald·
ers arc moving alit of the citie:. and
into the ~ uburbs.
The Chullging N:lture of Wo rk
..
The reason fo r this exodus be·
comes obvious when we eX:lmine
what hall happened to the nature of
the jobs themselves. Certain profes·
sional and white collar jobs, such as
accountants, programmer.. , adminis-
trators, etc. , arc increa~ing , as are
some jobs for the unskilled. Jobs
for the sk illed craftsmen. howe\'~'r,
many of whom :Ire or were em-
ployed by industries, arc disappear-
ing, This is largely due to the ('X~
porting of American jobll to foreign
countries where labor is cheap and
corporate taxes arc 10",-:1 bitter
fact to which our own electrical in-
dlJ.~try is no stranger.
Employment patterns during the
1960s reveal :l net drop in the
pcrccnt:lge of Americans engag~d in
manufacturing, from 27 per cent in
1960 to 24 pe r cent in 1970. And,
Whetl manufacturing is grouped
with older. more traditional jobs in
mining. agriculture, construction,
and transportation - communica-
tions- public utilities, the 1970
Ccn.<,lIS ckarJy shows that fu r the
{irst lillie ill "i.story, less than half
of America's workforce, 47.6 per
cent, was employed in the indll~tries
(u~uaJJy located in thl.! inner city)
which form~'rly dominated the em·
ployment scene.
The jl)bs that gr~w decbivdy be-
tween 1960 and 1970 w..:ro.: in
whole!>ale and retail trade: finance,
in~urrll1ce. and rea l estate; prof~s­
sional services (the largest gainer );
and public adrninilltmtion. In short,
the trend of emplo) ment in our na-
tion\ economy appears to be shift-
ing toward the ~ervice industries.
WQI"kers are now more likely to be
employed in loervice occupations,
trade. and gov..:rnnll'nt than in some
of the morc traditional occupations
we find in our manufacturing in-
du\trks.
Enter fh e L:ldy
I)erhaps the mOlot interesting trend
uncovered by the '70 Censu~ and
•
1/ "'- V
.; r--/
definitely the most marked in terms
of sheer numOCrs. is the ever-in-
crcalling innux of women into the
workforce, Thirt y-million women,
or fou r out of ever 10, were job-
holders at the time of the last
census.
As might be expected, single,
widO\\l·d. and divorced women have
hcen members of the workforce for
some time. Their employment rate
hall ~ell fairly stable for the past
25 years. T he employmellt rate of
married women. however, has in-
c r~allCd by 400 per alIT since 19-17!
Forty-on~ lxr cent of America's
young single women. childless m;lr·
ried wom~n, and women whoS\!
childr..:n arc grown are ml,.·lll~rs of
the workforce. But they do not have
the highest participation rate. Work-
ing mothers of school-age chi ldren
do. A whopping 50. I per c...·nt of
them arc ":lIIployed. The fact that
women with children between the
ag~s of six and 17 arc working in
the highest proportions ~c~ m s to
indicate that it is finan cial necessity.
110t lX'rsona l prdcrence, that leads
women into the "'orHorc.:. The fac t
that among women ag..:d -l5 to 6-l
there is a thro.!e per cent drop-orr
in thc percentage of working women
abo tends to underscore the validity
of the nccc:.sily theory,
Not only arc women- most of
whom arc employed in the fast-
growing wholesale and retail trades,
real estate. and profesloional and pri.
vate services-joining the workforce
in increasing numbers, there is evi-
dence to indicate thal this trend will
continue and become Ill ore pro-
nu unced in the future. Already,
about one-third of the women who
have their first c hild keep right on
working at the jobs they had before
motherhood-a practice almost un-
he:l rd of just two dec:ldes ago.
T~lld s in Eurnings
T he median income fo r all fam-
IIEW Journ ."
 ilics was $9,590 in 1970, almost
S4,000 more than in 1960, How-
ever, both of these figures are re-
lated to gross carnings only and
cannOt be considered rcpreMCntative
of a family's buying power. In terms
of real spendable earnings- t hat is,
after allowances have ocen made
fo r taxes and Ihe increased cost-of-
living- the wage carner has gained
little in the pa~t decade. For exam-
ple, a non-supervisory wor~cr with
three dependents would have seen
his take-home pay risc only S7.70
over the past 10 ycars.
It i ... intcn:~ting 10 Ilole that a sub-
stantial change is t:l~ing pl:lce in
the distribution of workers' earn-
ings. The prcsent trend b wwurd a
division havi ng concentrations at
or ncar the lower and upper regions
of the salary scale, wilh a lesser
degree of the populalion in Ihe mid-
dle range or median. In 1960, 34
per cenl of all wor~ing Americans
were earning salaries within 1,000
above or below the median. In
1970, on ly 6.8 per cenl were earn- Pensioner
ing the median of between S9,000
and S10,000 per year. Of the re-
maining 92.6 per cent of the wage
earners, 46.6 pcr cent were ea rning
S 10,000 or more and 46 IXr ccnt
were making S8,000 or Jess.

man or woman engaged in public

Dinner Honors Retirees;
Cutbacks Affect Members
L. U. 1501, UALTIMORE, I\ID.-Our
local held its Second Annual Retirement
Dinner on December 1st at the Flaming
Pit Restaurant in Towson. Maryland .
The reliree~ from Maryland IoIho loIere
honored are Buck Weave r and Alan
Gnagey. Members retiring from olher
areas who were honorcd include Howard
I. Pratt, AKadia; G. A_ G unde rson, Chi-
cago: Charles G. Unva n, Arcadia; Clif-
ford H. Smith. Sunland, New Mexico;
Homer H. Jackson, Chicago; Thomas
Ki ttridge, Sr .. Waltham; and Tyne Ross-
man, New York.
All of the officers and members of
Local 150 I wish all of the reti rees a
lone and healthy retirement.
The members of OUf local were re-
cent!) s.1ddened by the death of one of
our retirees from last lear, Brother Sam
Harmon.
Because of competition around the
country. our local is experiencing some
difficulty in mai ntai ning its labor fOKe.
Field service jobs with the local are be-
comin!; pretty scarce. Members all o\'er
the country h;l\'e been upset because of
the extensive cutback of manpower at
a ll of the tracks serviced by Local 1501
members.
T he local union office is in receipt of
correspondence between Canadian dele·
gme I'at Molloy and Interna tional Vice
President W . L:ld yman. regarding job
cutbacks fln d the lack of manpowe r at
Canadian racetraels.
The American and the Canadian To-
talisator Companies, whose contracts
with racetracks are servittd by Local
1501 members, at pre-"Cnt are lobbying
to ha\'e the I, 2, 3. and 4 Criminal
Code Running liorse Regulations
changed SO that they can CUI manpower
requiremen ts at the tracls. As soon as
more information on this matte r is
a ..ailable, iI will appear in our article in
the JOl/rnal.
The results of the election of officers
of Local 1501-A are chainnan-Robert
Zolbe. chief steward-Earl Montgomery.
vice chaimlan-Helen Harmon. steward
of Assembl)' -Ted Martinak. and ~tew­
ard of Ihe Machine Shop---Glen Fouse.
At present. our loca l is in the midst
of contract negotiations with the Ame ri-
can Totali~mor Company. As of this
wtltmg, the Negotiating Committee,
headed by Business Manager Dion F .
Guthrie. has M t lost any ground. but
neither hJ1~ it gained any. 8 y the time of
the next writing, I hope to ha\e some
encouragement for )'OU members rega rd-
ing contract negotiations.
ROIlt::RT O. NORn l, I' .S.
Scribe Discusses Economics,
Burke-Hartke Bill
l .U. 1505, WALTHA \t. MASS.-Presi-
dent Nixon has announced the details of
Phase III , his latest effort to achieve
ei:Onomie stability and j'lf05perity.
The initial reaction has been largely
optimi~tic. particularly on the part of
those who would prefer no controls.
However, to forestall prematu re celebra-
tions of a return to normalcy and re-
spect for the collective bargaining proc-
ess. clear ~torm ..... arnings are still flyi ng.
To paraphrnse economist Paul W.
McCracken, il remains to be seen
whethe r I' hase III will be characte ril:ed
by individua l freedom and volun tary co-
operation wi th guidelines or by the
"
 heavy hand of governmenl coercion.
Please nole that [he 5.5 per cent wage
increase guideline is still in etTect and
that voluntary compliance is u:pccted.
AdminiSlr:llion spolesmen ha~e referred
10 Ma Slick in the closet,K which can be
used in the event the administration de-
tects a lack of enthusiasm for its guide-
lines. Funhermore. unions representing
5,000 or more members will be required
10 submit quarterly reports on \I age in-
creases to the CoSI of Living Council
(CLC). \lhieh has the authority 10 en-
force the guidelines.
One encouraging thing is the establi~h­
ment of an advisory panel, ,tatTed
equally b~ la bor and management, to re-
con~Kler e~i~ting gllidl"linr~ ;Infl nm~e
recommendations to the CLC. It re-
mains to be seen whether these recom-
mendlltions will be accepted or whether
the government will continue to concen-
tra te its vast leS:11 powers again~t the
bargllining etTort~ of working people.
Unemployment in the U.S. dropped to
5.2 per cent m Lkcember. but the aver-
ag< for 1972 was 5.6 per cent, far above
the 3.5 per cent rate during Nixon's fir~t
year in office, Any prOIlTeSS made is
now jeopardi7.ed hy a rapid expansion in
the na lion's money \u pply, which may
compel the Federal Reserve lJoord to
take rfstrictive actions to slow the econ·
omy and increase unemployment.
Again, we mention that passage of the
Burke·Harl~ e Bill i! an absolute nlUst. It
is intolerable Ihat the go'-ernmenl should
conlinue to give tax incenlhe~ to Ameri-
can busines~ interest) to locate In for-
eign lands, without regard
unemployment generuted here by sueh
action. The fedcrnl po\ler of taxation
should be uscd to penaliZe, not re\l;,.rd,
thM( who abandon America al the first
opportunity to exploit poorly-paid for-
eign workmen.
Write to your scnators and eongress-
men. Tell them you fnil to undersl:tnd
how any American sta[esmllO ~~n dcfend
such abuse of governmentlll power at 11
time when chronic unemplo)'mcnt hour
major national problem.
An apparent target of Nixon's new
auslerity progrJm is the Public Service:
Employment l'roSram, which, at approx-
imately SI-billion, has grea tl y reduced
unemployment among those who find il
particularl y difficult to locate good jobs,
Blads, youne~h'r~, nncl \'f"leTlim ha ve
been the principal beneflciarie~ o f this
program, ad\ocated and advanced by
the AFL-CIO. If the adminimation
seek! econon,ic!, il should request tbe
repeal of such lax avoidance devices as
accelerated depreciation allo\lance:s and
t!"le Domestic Import Sales Corporation,
whIch have permitted billions of corpo-
rate dollar5 to escape from public cof-
fers.
President Osborn a~ls me to remind

-Greeting. 8rethren, from Ihe gang at
Ihe Hunters Point Naval ShipYard!
The highly,pllblicized earthquake
scheduled to devastate San Francisco
never materialized, so here I am again. I
think the prediction was based on a lit-
tle·known science in which the Jines of
magnetic force arc read. On the subject
of magnetic lines of force, ( seem to reo
call that the unit of measurement is
called gaus. We have a Gaus in HUnters
Point. He's alive and well and is our
treasurer. Stand up. James.
Short is a term that describes a com-
mon and undesirable condition in our
field. Wet!. Mr. Short is an ckctrici:in
employed in the shipyard and, far from
being undesirable, is a pretty good fel-
low. In this case, the Shorl involved in
the circuit might well be working on it.
Shields i, another term frequently
used in our technical vernacular. We
have a Shields employed in our group.
Sheryl Shiclds is our first female appren·
tice-pert. prelly, well liked. and, from
all reports, doing outstandingly well.
From what I've been re:tdi ng, some of
the private sbipya rds will begin construc·
MARCH, 1973
tion on a new class of ship-used for
the transportation of natural gas. I am
very happy to hear that. J certainly hope
that some of this work comes to the pri-
vate yards in the San Francisco area.
h 's a sad thing to realize that tbis vast
area of industrial potential is so under-
utilized. I find it difficult 10 !mdeMrand
why this country. whose technoloGic:i1
knOW-how extended our frontiers to tbe
moon. cannot develop a n industri:.l tech-
nology to en:tble it to compete in the in-
ternational industrial markets.
All of the vessels constructed in
American ship· building yards arc for the
use of American shippers. A large num-
ber of \'essels used by American shi p-
pers are constructed in foreig n ship-
yards. I find il hard to helteve that we
simply a.rcn't capable of competing in
this area.
Productivity studies arc brought about
by competition. I imagine that industrial
managers all over Ihe counlry arc in·
volved in 3 constant war to reduce Over-
head operating costs. This is most effec-
ti vely done by the elimination of some
functions and the consolidation of oth·
ers.
My interest in the private shipyards is
lal'gely due to my own persona1 experi.
ence and involvement witb them during
the years of my youth. I was emplo}'ed
in many in the New York area-Todds
in Urooklyn, Bethlehem Steel in Staten
Islnnd. and the Atlantic Basin Iron
Works in Urook lyn. I waS employed by
the New York Shipbuilding Corporation
for a while.
Shipy.lfd work is not an easy or
pleasant way in whieh to earn a living.
Working conditions range from difficult
to dangerous. The weat her can be bru·
tal. Employment is often imermillenl.
Being considered a good worker was a
tremendous aSset. During those years, I
had the pleasure of working wit h many
men who were regarded as craftsmen. It
was not an easy way to make a living.
but it filled a need. we were gainfull y
employed, and a useful product was the
result of our labors.
I hope better days arc coming for our
counterparlS in Ihe private ya rds.

L.U. 2320, MANCUESTER. N.H.-Our
local has bought a two-story, brick
building as a home for the 10000al un ion
offices. The building is 48 feet by 32
fe ct and contains four office spaces and
a conference room on the first floor and
a mee ting room on the second floor.
Our local was chartered in the fall of
1970, representing Ihe Plant Department
employees of the New England Tele·

the local has grown from a starting total
of 1,100 101.754 members.

Two New Programs
Affect l ocal Members
L. U. 2326, l\fQ NTPELl I-:R, \ 'T._ The
members in our local have been affected
by two programs introduced o n Jnnuary
1st by the New EnglH nd Telephone
Company.
The first is the Affirm:llive Aclion
Plan. Goals. and T imetables demanded
by the government a nd required to be
SUbmitted to the FCC in accordance
with guidelines set down by the Equal
Emplu y Jll~nt Opportunit y COllimission
and Executive Order N O. 4. We ure not
sitting still on lhis: we nrc takin g all
necessary steps to protect Ollr contract
language. which has been allected by the
introduction of Ihis plan.
The second is Snip nnd Take. wh ic h.
briefly, means that Ihe compan y encour-
ages the customer to cut the cord on his
tele phone, when he moves, and tak e it
to his new location for the telephone
worker to install: for this. the customer
will receive a $5.00 credit on his phone
bill. We feel that this is o ur work, and
we are not sitting still on this one ei-
ther. It has been allat:hcd Iv a case al-
ready filed for arbitration by the
Worcester, Massachusetts. local where
the plan was first introduced in Jul y,
1972.
On the brighter side, a system council
for the New England I HEW telephone
operations locals was approved by a
vote of the members a nd has the ap-
proval of the Internatio nal ]>resident.
This co uncil becomes effective on March
lst and should lend much stron ccr sup-
port to the views and reeomme!1(latio ns
of th e union in its dealing with the com-
pliny.
Danny Gilman, the leen aged son of a
Local 2326 member. of Ru tland, was se-
.
verel y paralyzed in a swimming accident
last summer. Our members in th at area
conducted a fund drive for Danny's ben-
efit in Ihe form of n ra ffl e, and the re -
spo nse was tremendous. The members
turned Over to Danny's father a check
in the amount of 52,056.25 for the pur·
chase of therapeutic eqUIpment. so that
Danny's days will be more comfortable.

spiked buck. There were some good sto-
ries from the others, but no deer meat.
It is every me mber's desire to sec our
benefits increase. Higher wages are a
must: it fully-paid healt h and sickness

hetter retirement benefits are a few
items thnt must be pushed. We are not

When the power company lobbyists

needs. It's time for a cry against taxll-

l,kcau,!,c of proxi mit y. the canal,
Jlutur:ll ly, has been of much grl.!ater
proportionate b<..'ndit to Panama
than [0 any o the r nation. Its opening
can be compared to the building of
a new highway into a potl.!ntiully-
fertile, but undc\clopcd area. Its
operation )ince 1914 has been a
powerful lever in the expansion of
the econo mic wdfarl.! of the re-
public.

Th e~e bendit s stem principal ly
from four main )ou rccs, the center-
ing of a va~l trade. brought by the
tho u,and .. of ~ hips which transit the
canal e ..w y year: the employment
of many thousands of Panamanian
citizem by the canal organization
and o ther U.S. govcrnment agencies
in the Otnal Zone; direct purchases
of supplies and scrviccs in the re-
public by the Panama Canal Com -
pany and the armed forces; and
purchases made in Panama by the
residents of the Canal Zone o r con-
tractors engaged in government
worlc.
While construclion of the canal
had a tremendo us economic effect
o n the Republic of Panama and the
operation and maintenance of the
canal continue to be Pananla's
greatest sou rccs o f economic stabil-
ity, the young nation has made great
independe nt st rides in its develop-
ment. The republic, toda)', is well
advanced on the road toward the
es tab li~hment o f an independent and

Don't Make Your
Next Accident Your Last!
An estima lEnJ 60,000 plo'rsons will dilo' in 1973 from traffi c accidenls. Will you
or members of your family be included. Engineering tests and accident
surveys have proved conclusively that seat bells can prevent injuries and
save lives in auto accidents. In addition , on rough roads, on sharp curves ,
and in othe r adverse driving conditions, seat belts can help the driver
mai nta in a good position behind the wheel to properly control his vehicle,
preven ting an accident and the result ing possible inj uries and deaths. Use
seat belts. The life you save coul d be your own.
