He continued: "Twenty - five cents an hour, or $2 a day, seems like a big increase, but when we consider that these employes have had no increase in salaries since 1951, it amounts to less than 7 cents an hour on a yearly basis, which will not equal that enjoyed by other employes in Ihis area." Employes also asked pay for time beginning when thoy are re quired to report to work and end ing when they report off duty at their base shops.

Jackion OR 3 5521 There's not enough food for you and the bugs As any backyard gardener knows, you have a fight on your hands from the moment you turn over your first spadeful of earth. At every step, funfjus growths, weed's and insects wait to destroy your lawns, trees, plants. A disheartening struggle for Greenthumbers ... a round-the-clock fight for commercial farmers. Fortunately, there's a growing list of weapons you can wield in the battle against bugs. Some of the most effective have been developed by Standard's subsidi ary, California Spray-Chemical Corporation. In 1907, we brought out the first basic lead arsenate to stop the codling moth, a rampaging fruit crop destroyer; later, the invention of new-type summer and dormant oil sprays safely checked scale and other insects. Other Standard research achievements have been chemicals to kill aphis, mites, thrips, and similar suck ing insects . . . dusts to destroy fungus diseases like rust, blight, mildew . . . sprays and dusts custom-made to knock out such enemies as the grasshopper, boll weevil, hornworm. Other pest-killers boost milk pro duction of dairy herds, help beef cattle fatten faster. One good reason you live in the world's best-fed nation is because insect invaders have been held back on our farms, ranches, and orchards, thanks in part to Standard's constant hunt for new ways to make petroleum do more things for you.
