Know Your Newspaper Better
Dear Editor:
Now This Is What I Think!
■
Did you ever write a letter to the editor?
Its fun to see yourself in print. But actually, you're not writing to only the
editor. If he prints your letter—and he probably will—you are really writing to
all the thousands of readers of this newspaper. That's a substantial body of
readers, but don t let that scare you . . . write as if you were talking to just
one of them.
What Do You Write About?
Perhaps you are really mad at the editor
and want to tell him off on some opinion he
has voiced. Perhaps you can't contain yourself
any longer on some important local issue. Per
haps you just like to sound off now and then
on topics of current interest. Whatever you
choose, the "letters to the editor" column is your
opportunity to speak your opinions.
We Welcome Good Letters
In writing them, please follow the rules
printed at the top of the letters column. These
rules ask that you keep your letiers reasonable
in length, reasonable in tone . . . free of de
famatory matter. Remember, the editor must
"boil down" your letter if too long, and will take
out statements that are libelous . . . even though
the letter has your name printed underneath.
Plenty of Topics
It's really fun to write to the editor. We don't recommend that you become a
"chronic" letter writer, but every now and then we'll be glad to hear from you
. . . taxes, highways, elections, the legislature, streets, parks, schools, city gov
ernment, accidents, safety, business . . . scores of things to write aboutl

Net Spendable
Earnings Edge
Up In November
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Net
spendable earnings of U. S. fac
tory production workers edged up
in November as hourly earnings
advanced one cent to an all-time
high of $2.76 the Labor Depart
ment has reported.
Weekly net spendable earnings
— or after-tax pay -- were up
about 10 cents over the month,
with the single worker earning
$92.82 and the worker with three
dependents making $100.76
Over the year, weekly take
home pay was up by about $2.
The entire 12-month Increase
resulted from an 11-cent gain
in hourly earnings.
But real net spendable earn
ings —a worker’s buying power
after adjustment for consumer
price Index changes—showed no
increase over the month due to a
slight rise In the CPI.
And, over the year, the “real!.’
earnings dropped by $1.15.
In November, the average
workweek was slightly shorter
than a year earlier. This mar
ked the first time the average
workweek has shown a year-to
year decline since January 1964.
