Nowadays, the question seems to be how to "share the productivity." The government says that wages should rise no higher than productivity guidelines indicate can be paid without being inflationary, or without causing a rise in price for the commodity in ' question. This is being pretty I generous with industry's money. Major increases in productivity are largely the result of individual effort, working smarter instead of harder, and combined with the results obtainable through the proper use of new, improved machines, equipment and tools, i which result only from the ( profits of business invest- ( ments and activities. The American economy can be healthy only when productivity improvements are shared equitably by those whose < savings and investments make uitr liupi uvtrineiiis pubbi uit;.

What if I'm caught under water or in a fire?can I get out? Are seat belts worth all the 'trouble'?" here is what the National Safety Council says: The automotive seat belt ic fl-io tvi fi c t offpp) i\'P cinUln item of protective equipment presently available to reduce the toll of traffic injuries and deaths. Seat belts offer greater protection at moderate speeds. More than half the accidents that cause injury or death involve speeds of less than 40 miles per hour. Less than one per cent of all injury-producing accidents involve fire or submersion to any degree. A seat belt can be unfastened in1 stantlv with one hand, and can increase your chances of remaining conscious so you 1 can get clear of a submerged or burning car. I ECONOMICS Do you Remember?? ) When a haircut cost two ; bits?25c? ^ I do?it was way back in the thirties.

And a t large portion of that is in 2 "special taxes" even though it t is a much better gasoline than it used to be. Whv tlin ctnrtlinrf rtiffni once?
