Douglas Kenna, presi dent, National Association of Manufacturers, have reacted favorably to the pension re form bill which was signed into law by President Gerald R. Ford on Labor Day. “This is something we have supported,” said Mr. Kenna. “We generally favor keeping these things in the private sec tor and this is so set up,” he added. However, the NAM leader doubts that the new law will encourage companies presently without pension plans to start them, as proponents of the measure had argued. “Compa nies have pension plans in or der to be competitive in at tracting good employes,” Mr. Kenna explained. “Those com panies that don’t have them must have pretty good reasons for not doing so.” The pension law consists of 247 pages with 140 additional pages of explanation. TheNAM sees a need for what Mr. Kenna called "a tremendous educational job.” Another reaction came from the chief actuary for A. S. Hansen, Inc. of Chicago, Rich ard Keating. Although Keating had mixed feelings, he gener ally favored the measure say ing, “.. . This bill will enhance the security of retired persons, and On that basir, I’m in favor of it.” Mr. Keating is also Chairman of tfie U.S. Depart ment of Labor Task Force on Pension Vesting/and Funding.

Plan For The Future With Perdue I . Perdue needs more chickens to supply our markets. We could sell 8 million more chickens now if we were able to grow them. We are planning for our future by ex panding in the R-C area! We now have over 'A million chickens growing in this area. But this is not enough to satisfy the demands placed on our distribution by housewives in the northeast. A lot of people are counting on you to grow chickens. Perdue is a totally integrated company. We have our own breed of chickens. We produce hatching eggs to be hatched in our hatcheries for our broiler in contract houses. We make our own feed from grain we have stored. This is used to feed our broilers. The broilers are then processed in our own plants to ready them for market. Our growers are planning for their futures by growing Perdue chickens. Many are looking to the future - and making sure they have money coming in from their broiler house to supplement their retirement. Others are planning to educate their children with "chicken" money. Still others are buying things they've always wanted but couldn't afford. Because of the rate of inflation, money just doesn't go as far as it used to. By growing Perdue broilers you can keep your income ahead of inflation. And its not risky income because you have a guarantee from Perdue (in writing). For 22 flocks you will receive a minimum of $35,200 (guaranteed) and through good management you can receive much more. Why dorr't you plan for your future as your neighbor has with a Perdue broiler house. Ask your neighbor then talk with Perdue. FOR MORE DETAILS CALL OUR AHOSKIE OFFICE CASEY JONES—AHOSKIE, N. C.

V. , * Coordinated Change to Metric Predicted by Precision Industries “For the last ten years, the National Tool, Die k Precision Machining Association has been observing and studying the growing use of the metric system of measurement in the United States," according to William E. Hardman, execu tive vice president of the Asso ciation. In a recent letter to a mem ber of the'House of Repre sentatives he expressed his As sociation’s strong support of the proposed metric legislation. “The tooling and machining industry represents an esti mated 8,000 contract metal working firms with 240,000 employees, most of whom are highly skilled. We are possibly the most measurement-sensitive industry group in the nation, in that all of our .work is specified to critical dimensions often held to extremely close tolerances. “Yet, even under these con straints, we do not foresee any insurmountable problems in a national changeover to the metric system as long as there is a coordinated national plan. “Metrication presently has enough momentum to be even tually inevitable. A nationally coordinated plan is absolutely necessary to avoid the eco nomic chaos which could arise from uncoordinated, independ ent efforts in developing metric standards for commerce and industry. A nationally-coordi nated program can also provide the opportunity to ‘clean up’ many of our superfluous and ambiguous standards. Such a program, guided by the prin ciples of reason and common sense, will not cause premature obsolescence of capital equip ment and will not require ex tensive retraining of the work force. Even in our own high ly measurement-sensitive in dustry, required training is ex pected to be minimal.” mac— l.. /a- V.—.*> Legend has it that Chalchas the soothsayer, died of laughter at the thought of having outlived the predicted hour of his death.
