MONITOR Motoring
The members of the United Automobile Workers (UAW) are proud union workers who
put their brains, their sweat, and their commitment to good work into every car and truck
they build. UAW contracts give them asay in design and quality and letthem concentrate
on their jobs.
The paychecks of UAW members keep local merchants in business and provide tax
revenues for schools, hospitals, and recreation.
When you buy a new car or truck this year, select a UAW-assembied vehicle. You'll not
only be driving a good bargain, but you'll also be helping to preserve good jobs and
stronger communities all across America.'

The Shriners are networking with Sigma
Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. in a special
project called Operation Bigßookbag. The
project addresses some of the educa
tional needs, challenges and issues that
face school-aged children housed in
homeless shelters and in hospitals for
extended care. It has been found and
reported that, due to a limitation of capa
bilities and resources, some homeless
shelters and extended-care hospitals are
not able to provide an atmosphere that is
conducive to studying and learning on the
part of school-aged children who are edu
cationally at-risk in said facilities. The two
national organizations will be providing
bookbags and school related supplies,
act as mentors, provide cultural activities,
and tutoring service, etc. Information con
tact: (313) 961-9148.
