Thomas Jefferson bought the Bridge and 157 surrounding acres from King George ill of England for the "sum of twenty shillings of good and lawful money." (Somewhat less than five dollars.) In 1802. a year after his first Presi dential inauguration, he surveyed his purchase and made what is thought to be the first map of the Bridge and its surroundings. A year later he had a log cabin built, one room of which was to he kept for such visitors as Henry Clay. John Marshall and James Monroe. Jefferson predicted that "Natural Bridge will yet he a famous place, that will draw the attention of the world." His prophecy is fulfilled as. each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors see Virginia's natural wonder. In about the year 1750 George Wash ington surveyed the Bridge. His initials are carved on the Bridge. 23 feet above Cedar Creek. They appear again with his surveyor's cross on a large stone still located under the arch. The stone served as his benchmark. In the words of a great American statesman. Henry Clay. "The Bridge not made hy hands. 1 rod's great stone masterpiece, spans a creek, car ries national highway and makes two moun tains one."

This spring e-- peciallv it's worth sttoppinc; the sales for things you need, because we're approaching the peak of the latest in flation. with living expenses sched uled to hit a new high thi~ summer. Important sales thi- month which give you an opportunity to fill in needs at temporarily-reduced prices include spring clothing clearances. May while sales (sheets and towels I. lingerie and housecoat sales, clear ances of this year's television models at reductions, price cuts on cooking ranges and washing machines, and-- increasingly large discounts on l'1," cars. In ciotlnng. note that rising prices of wool mean yon will pay more next fall for suits and coat'. The auto industry has met its day of reckoning on price, anil for peo ple who need cars, better values are going to he available the next several months. The spring upsurge makers and dealers had been hoping for has not materialized. The result is com petition is getting more intense, and larger discounts are being ottered. "It's no trick to get as much as S700 off the list price of the higher-priced models." one trade report notes. Dealers believe one reason for lag ging 1957 sales is resistance to this year's higher prices. Wards Auto motive Reports estimates the aver age standard equipped 1 *>57 model is S3.749. not including taxes, com pared to S2.553 in 1956 and S2.3(X> in 1955. Significantly, more people are buying the lower-priced makes this year. The big three lowerpriced makes have accounted for about 60 per cent of all purchases this year, compared to 57 per cent last year. Another reason for the lag in sales, bankers say. is that many peo ple are still jlaying for all the cat's they bought itt 1955. when easy terms sold a record number of cars. But also, and possibly for the first time, the public is showing some ac tual resistance to the styling of ears, especially to the low height of 1957 models, garage men re)ion. The low. road - lutgging modern design has added to the difficulties of climb ing in and out of cars. On some models, it aKo i' res]vmsible for more rain leak- because the door opening now is cut partly into the roof. In models where the rear seat protrudes beyond the door opening, passengers have to "angle" into the ear. But if the !'t57 ears are harder to get into, once you're itt. the lower, wider design gives yott a more stable ride, with less sway on curves and comers. The 1957 models in gen eral are safer, more stable ears on the highway. Jn city traffic, the story is different. The new longer cars when used as cabs are responsible for more traffic accidents, the X>\\ York Taxicab Bureau reports. The public is also showing signs of resenting the many model changes and the confusing number oi models made, which adds to the cost of cars Wards rcjxtrts that there are three hundred 1957 models, even though there are now fewer manufacturers, compared to 272 in 1956 and 260 in 1955. Hardtops and station wagons are booming in itopularity, and man ufacturers believe that in a few years they will displace the standard sedan completely. Coupes have almost vanished. Among the popular - priced cars. 1 *'*57 Fords and Plymouth' have made comebacks. For the tun- i>-- ing. Ford has Itecome the most viiii-.

If recent model- are more expen sive. they have also proved to hate been cheapened m one important n Sjiect. servicemen re]met. Xot onlt the 1957. but even some earlier mod els are arriving in shops with .shop, circuits, trinity ignition and, e'en rec ords of fires due to the cheaper plas tic wiring now used. Plastic wiring appear' to be un able to stand overheating (the tradi tional wire with cotton and rubber covering could to some extent i and car manufacturers are using it in toosmall gauge They are using 16gaugc wire where 12-gauge is neces sary. and in the case of the powerful sealed - beam headlights, even 12gauge wiring is proving inade quate. Thus on some late-model cars, not only are the lights under- Jiowered. but the resistance of the inadequate wiring causes the wires to get hot with a greater frequency of short circuits and fires. Some service experts now are installing such safety devices as fuses and cir cuit breakers on late-model cars. The circuit breakers are more satisfac tory than fuses because they make it (Contmurci on pope 13) CANT TELL THE CAR PRICES WITHOUT A SCORECARD WttK 300 individually-priced U. S. made cars on the market, and the auto industry following a policy of not publicizing suggested list prices of cars and accessories, it's become almost impossible for buyers to know how much a car actually costs. This situation has made it possible for dealers to "pack" prices in various ways, so that the fringe of less scrupulous sellers can give a dis count or seemingly-generous trade-in allowance with one hand, and take it back with the other. For the First time to this writer's knowledge, a complete guide to cars is now available for $1 at newsstands or from the Car Fax Company, 550 Fifth Ave., New York 36. "Car Fax" warns that "there are no set resale prices. Any dealer may ask whatever he wishes. It is a fact that many dealers pack their prices in amounts ranging up to $500 and even more over the factory-suggested retail prices." One of the best helps this guide pro vides is a complete price list for all accessories and spe cial features for each car, such as two-fone paint, white sidewalls, etc. These can run into real money. If you bought all the extra accessories offered for a typical popular-price car in .the $2,000 bracket, your cost for accessories alone would total $1,011. 6 THE ASBESTOS WORKER BUSINESS REPORT Reg.

March 16, 1957 The tri-annual meeting of the Eastern Canadian Conference of As bestos Workers scheduled by error lor April 20 was called to order liv Chairman M. H. Xiculs at 10:30 a. nt.. March 16 at the ShcratonMottnt-Royal Hotel in Montreal.' Delegates in attendance were: Toronto. Local Xo. 95 Brother? M. H. X'icols. Alex Taggart and Herbert Lamont: Local X'o. 5$ Montreal Brothers Edward Kane. Joseph Laiorce and Maurice Bleatt; from the Ottawa District of Local Xo. 58 Brother John Kearns. Guests in attendance were Brothers Fer nand Demers. Albert Villeneuve and Lionel Lorrain. all of Local Xo. 58. Minutes of the preceding meeting were accepted a? read. Delegate Herbert Lamont of Local Xo. 95 reported good conditions with a membership of 336 comprised of 265 Mechanics and 71 Improvers. Two members are out of work but will be placed this coming week. A new refinery plant is to be built out of Toronto soon. Delegate Joseph Laforce of Local Xo. 58 reported 297 members with 240 Mechanics. 49 Improvers and five International Exempt members. C>ne member is out of work. There is a big project of $60 million, a refinery to be built by the British retroleum. due to start soon. An expansion at the Imperial Oil is to be done with $75,000 worth of in sulation. Also the big fire at the Shell Oil Company will bring re pairs in a good amount for our mem bership. Conditions are still promis ing. Brother lohn Kearns of the Ot tawa District of Local Xo. 58 re ported a slow down in Ottawa due to the 'act that the work being done is mostlv Government work but the nev. budget effective April 1. should Vhig things to normal. They have -even unemployed members. It was suggested by Chairman Xirols that members violating agree ment even in other territories should be brought to trial in accordance with, our International law which provides for charges of an inter-local nature being filed with the Interna tiona! Association General Execu tive Board which will take testi mony. issue verdict and suggest penalitr- as agreed upon. Members of Local Xo. 5S Ottawa and Mont retd are at odds because their agreement still carries the tenhour-da' on "out-of-town" jobs when other- arr on the 40-hourweek. Then next agreement will take care of that a- the S-hour-day will be effective everywhere as per advice an.! instructions from the Genera! ' 'nice It was al.-o brought up that those who work in other territories forget to report to the business agent of the Local in which they are working and it was agreed that letters be sent for the purpose of reading them out at the meetings that men must report within 24 hours. At this point it was called to the attention of the attending delegates that as long as we don't have the Consitution and By-Laws translated in French, it will be very hard to have everything worked up to the letter and spirit of the book. Local Xo. 58 has at least 200 French Ca nadian members and while most of them are bilingual a good proportion do not read English. It was also suggested that Section 6. of Article 3 should he amended to read "in addition to understanding, reading and writing the Official language of the cottmrv." This way. Canada with nearly 1.000 members and still growing, could manage to open new locals and build them strong. For this members have to be educated and you cannot penalize them for something they do not understand. As suggested bv President C. \V. Sickles at the last meeting and brought up again this meeting, everv Canadian Local should try to send at least one delegate to the Conven tion next September and find out the possibility of having a Canadian Representative and get an EnglishFrench Constitution. The instructions received from the General r>ffice regarding abrogation of agreement between Sheet Metal Workers and the Asbestos Workers Internationals were read, and it was agreed that we will see that instruc tions arc carried otn. Gjn motion regularly made and carried, the secretary of the Confer ence will receive compensation for his work starting now. With all business transacted, ad journment was moved a: 12:45 p. m. Xo date was set for lb. next meet ing which should hi <>: the third Snturdav in August, but due to the Convention a lev. week- inter, it ipossible that wc will have our meet ing in Xew Orleans beiore the Con vention.

Norman Hoyle and Stephen Kopp was appointed to make a survey of same and present their findings and recommendations at our next regu lar meeting. General President Sickle5- offered to forward a detailed report on methods used by the other Conferences. Delegate Mansfield of Local No. 2 reported that following a strike which lasted for five weeks condi tions are returning to normal. The current work load is good and with all types of work listed in the future conditions will remain good. Their new agreement now provides for a wage scale of S3.57>.4 per hour plus 7'.' cents per hour welfare and 10 cents per hour pension plan. Mem bership report: 12 Mechanics. 66 Improvers, and 48 Travelers. Delegate Zinser of Local No. 11 reported that present conditions are slow due to weather conditions and the current issue with the Sheet Metal Workers. A strike by sev eral ot the other trades is aiso pos sible and if this occurs the local may look for some assistance from our sister locals. Future prospects look good with several hospitals, schools, power houses and state buildings in the program. Member ship report: 174 Mechanics, 49 Im provers and 6 Travelers. Delegate Haas of Local No. 14 reported that due to inclement weather and a steel shortage the work situation at present is touchand-go. An expansion in the oil in dustry will improve conditions in the near future and will also carry the hulk of the work load as nothing m the commercial field is anywhere near ready for our craft. The cur rent issue with the Sheet Metal Worker ha.- not affected the mem bership to any gieat degree. Mem bership report: 255 Mechanics. 70 Improvers and h Travelers. Delegate Hovle of Local No. 24 reported that during the past ipiarter the weather ha.- slowed up the workin the area hut at present this work is beginning to open up and the im mediate future looks good. Not too much difficulty is being had with the Sheet Meta! Worker controversy. The "right-to-work-law" in the State of Virginia has caused some work to go non-union. A similar law now. before the legislature in the State of Maryland seems doomed for failure. Membership report; 141 Mechanics, 2 Improvers and one Traveler. Edi tor's note--Legislature has ad journed without the passage of the "State right-to-work-law." Delegate Springle of Local No. 32 reported that the present workload is good and with all types of work coming along the prospects seem good for at least six months. A backlog of work due to their strike was a deciding factor in the demand for manpower. Any of our idle membership can he placed. Mem bership report: 203 Mechanics. 67 Improvers and 40 Travelers. Delegate Bressler of Local No. 38 reported that with the various jobs now under way and others due to break shortly, there will be enough work to keep the membership em ployed for the balance of the year. Listed in the future are the two Armories at Forty Fort. Pa., an other at Hazleton, a new building for the 1. C. ? in Scranton as well as six new schools throughout the area. Membership report: 21 Me chanics and 2 Improvers. Delegate Wardell of Local No. 42 reported that although the Tidewa ter job L rapid!* coming to a close there will be enough work listed in the future to keep conditions good for at least one year. Several large buildings, schools and an expansion in the oil industry is listed in this category. He also reported that a `'right-to-work-law" is now before a committee in the legislature of the State of Delaware, but that organ ized labor has a 50-50 chance of de feating same. Membership report: 56 Mechanics. 2S Improvers and 75 T ravelers. Delegate Gotwalt of Local No. 65 reported that during the pas: quarter a decided drop in the work load ibcing experienced. Set oral of the membership are now working away from home. The future prospects are on the slow side a.- there are no jobs of any size coming along, h ihoped that with number of jobs that are coming along enough of the work load will he had to keep the mem bership going. Membership report: 40 Mechanics and 6 Improver. Delegate Birkas of Local No. 71 reported present conditions are slow and not too much of a change is ex pected until several of the contem plated jobs are started and reach a ptoint whereby our membership can be placed on same. Listed among these prospects is a power house, the St. Luke's hospital expansion and a research center for Lehigh University. Membership report: 24 Mechanics and 8 Improvers. Delegate Crane of Local No. S3 reported present conditions are good and will continue to remain so as there is a tremendous building pro gram scheduled in the area.

Membership report: 106 Me chanics. 20 Improvers and 35 Trav elers. Delegate Hornburger of Local No. 85 reported work at the present time is very good. The Indian River power house job is started and that in approximately one month an addi tional 30 to 40 men will he needed.

Mem bership report: 16 Mechanics, and 3 Improvers. Delegate Parker of Local No. S8 reported that at present conditions are good with work progressing at the duPont plant in Richmond, the Allied Chemical job in Hopewell to gether with several office buildings. Some of our idle membership can he APRIL, 1957 17 used at the present time. A con tinued volume of work will come along to keep future prospects good. Membership report: 52 Mechanics, 15 Improvers and 18 Travelers. Delegate Kopp of Local No. 89 reported that during the past quarter the work load has been of a normal nature, no large jobs going at pres ent. The future outlook looms as one of the best periods that can be experienced as there is a great build ing program scheduled in the area. The Army Hospital at Fort Dix has been started and is now in the stak ing out stage. Industrial work will predominate with a possible refinery also being talked about. Member ship report: 24 Mechanics. 10 Im provers and 11 Travelers. Delegate Bufialoe of Local 100 re ported present conditions are good, two power houses, some industrial work and a goodly amount of small work is now in the work load. A duPont job is expected to break dur ing the month of June and additional manpower will then be required. Prospects for the future are good. Membership report: 15 Mechanics. 6 Improvers and 45 Travelers. During the above delegates re ports General President Sickles gave advice and instructions wherever necessary and he also gave a detailed report on the Sheet Metal Workers issue. He advised that machinery was now being set up by the Na tional Joint Board for Settlement of Jurisdictional Disputes which is ex pected to bring about discontinuance of work stoppage at an early date. He also expressed his appreciation for the cooperation given our Inter national Association by the officers and membership of this Conference in this particular dispute. In reph to inquiries regarding ap plication of the International law covering privileges of Traveling Card membership, he explained same in detail and emphasized specifical ly that members with Traveling Cards go into various other local union territories soliciting emplovm.ent through the local union Businf" Agent and further pointed out that Travelers do not leave their home territory and go to a specific ioh in another territory where their employment has been prearranged through an employer. At this time a motion was made by President Roesberg of Local No. J4 and seconded by Business Agent Hoyle of Local No. 24 that Brother Andrew T. Haas. Business Agent of Local No. 14. Philadelphia. Pa., be endorsed as a candidate for the Of fice of International Vice President at the 19th Convention of our Inter national Association to be held in the city of New Orleans. This mo tion was amended to extend the en dorsement of the Conference to in clude all the current officers of our International Association. Both the amendment and the motion were car ried unanimously. After due consideration it was de cided to dispense with our next reg ularly scheduled Conference meeting which would have been held in the month of June and it was iurther voted to hold the regularly sched uled September quarterly meeting while in the city of New Orleans by the delegate.- attending the Interna tional Convention the week of Sep tember 2. per.
