Printers
demand
full wage

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Locked-out printers at
Pacific Press Ltd. say they
should be receiving full
wages and benefits, worth
about $500,000 a month,
under a contractual job
guarantee won previously to
offset technological change.

The International
Typographical Union, local
226, said in a letter to the
company Friday that it
believes the guarantee of
jobs until retirement is in
force despite the seven-week
strikelockout.

both the morning Province
and the evening Sun
newspapers,

The 300 printers are
among about 500 Pacific
Press employees locked aut
after 900 employees,
members of the Vancouver
Printing Pressmen’s Union
and the Vancouver-New
Westminster Newspaper
Guild, went on strike Novy, 1.

Province publisher Paddy
Sherman sald the claim by
the printers is
“revolutionary to say the
least," but he doubted
whether Pacific Press would
act on the issue. Dave
Stinson, Pacific Press
general manager, was
unavailable for commment.

Mediator Peter Dowding
declared a cooling-off period
Dec. 4 and no new talks are
scheduled. Major issues are
press manning, contracting-
out and proposed exclusions
from the guild. ;

everthing apart on the last
phase to get right in to the
radio-active source.”

radio-active diagnosis or ¢
treatment safely drink 15 to:

20 times more radic-active
material daily than {5 con-

CB NEWS with ono

Howdy everyone! That
tomorrow I kept putting off
is here today, so let's see
what damage i can do today,
without even trying. :

In the process of doing my —
yearly cleanup of my desk ¢

drawers, | came across my
friendship book, ‘one like'so

many of you have ‘and, of -

course, my mind got side-
tracked so the extent that I

spent quite some time going «

through it. That was as far as
my cleaning got. ' The .in-
tentions are still there
though, but meantinie I’m
wondering how many of you
have sat down lately and
gone through your book?
Gives you a kind of nice
feeling te see all the names
and comments - and
remember back to where
you first met and the good
things that came of: it,

- doesn’t it? To be sure,

coming across a few names
brought back a pang of
sorrow in the respect that
these people are no longer
with us in body, but in spirit
they will always remain.
How about the people that
have moved away from our
town in search of greener
pastures or sun’? Again it’s
pretty darn nice to hear from
them even via a five through
ten other people and find that
everything is going good for
them. Speaking of which, on
a LDLL a few days

bers are extended to all from
