Every Ready-Lite, and only Ready-Lite, has a built-in
weatherproof plug. You can plug in your rotisserie,
your electric mower, any appliance approved for out-
door use.
Ready-Lite is economical, because it never wastes
energy. An electric eye turns the light on at dusk, off
at dawn. With a 40-watt bulb, Ready-Lite operates for
about 25 a month, less than a penny a night.

Many of these taxpayers are eli-
gible to immediately reduce the
amount of tax withheld from their
pay, since their itemized deduc-
tions for the 1970 tax year will
include a casualty loss amounting
to several thousand dollars. Of
course the itemized deduction pro-
vision of the law is not limited
to casualty losses, but also applies
to all types of itemized deductions.
If your itemized deductions have
increased by a very large amount
you can obtain a new Form W-4
and a Form W-4 Schedule A from
your payroll office to get an im-
mediate increase in pay instead of
a refund check next April.

Tax Man Sam Sez:
DECREASIG YOUR
WITHHOLDING TAX
The 1969 Tax Reform Act con-
tained a change that can be im-
portant to many taxpayers. Un-
der the old law you could decrease
your withholding tax for the fol-
lowing year if your itemized de-
ductions for the past year ran
high enough to create a very large
refund. However, under the new
law you can now decrease your
withholding during the year before
you pay a lot of withholding tax
that you don't owe. A good ex-
ample of what can happen was

against the Goodyear Tire & Rub-

new benefits totaling $1.30 an
hour over a three-year span for
23,000 employees in 16 plants.
Among the first to ratify the
agreement was URW Local 2 in

settled their seven-week strike
turning to work June 10. Other
locals took similar action and
Goodyear said it expects to re-
sume full production by June 15.
The union reported that 13,000
employees of the B. F Goodrich
Co., out since May 6 will remain
on strike until they receive an
offer that can be taken to a vote.
Members at other rubber firms
did not strike, and their employ-
ers are expected to follow the
Goodyear pattern of settlement,
the union said.
The Goodyear settlement calls
for wage increases adding up to
82 cents an hour over the three
years. Also provided is a joint
occupational health study financed
by company payments of one-half
cent per man hour—a major 1970
objective of the URW. Other
gains included better pensions,
hospitalization insurance, medical
coverage and skilled trades supple-
ments. The new contracts will run
to April 20, 1973.
The URW opened negotiations
with Goodyear March 10 in Cin-
cinnati. Its bargaining committee
made proposals drafted last
winter at a unionwide conference.
When the talks ended without
agreement April 20, expiration
date of the old contracts, workers
left the shops and set up picket
lines. Contract talks were resum-
ed in Milwaukee 10 days later.
Goodyear agreed to Increase em-
ployee wages by 30 cents an hour
effective upon a return to work,
26 cents more on July 5, 1971,
and an additional 26 cents on
July 3, 1972.
It accepted a union proposal to
ment, and to give employees at
its Danville, Va., and the Union
City, Tenn., plants an additional
20 cents an hour—10 cents this
year, another 10 cents on July 6
1971.
Members of skilled trades
groups in all Goodyear plants will
get an additional raise of 16 cents
an hour upon returning to work,
and another 10 cents commencing
July 5, 1971.
The URW won company agree-
ment on a joint or cupational health
program. Wit’. money provided
by Goodyear management, the
School of Hygiene and Public
Health of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Baltimore, will make an in-
tensive study of plant health and
safety problems, and industrial
hygiene practices.
Information obtained in the
study will form the basis for de-
veloping a long-term program of
preventive medicine in all plants,
URW Pres. Peter Bommarito said.
Under the new contract, normal
pensions will be increased from
$5.50 a month per year of service ]

ment benefits are improved for
employees with 30 years of service.
Among numerous other fringe
benefit improvements is an agree-
ment that, starting July 1, 1971,
the cost of all prescription drugs
over 51 will be paid by the com-
pany.

Recently I received the following
poem from a friend of mine and I
believe it is very fitting for this
particular occasion. As noted
above, the man who thinks the
things he didn't do can be forgot-
ten, is only fooling himself. No
matter how active we might be
today, tomorrow could be the
worst or the most important day
of our lives.
