the. ·depth of one mile.

Om' members may operate one piece of equipment or several pieces, including cranes, rollers, tra.ctors,

' · spreaders, trei1chers, backhoes and others. To operate one of the many types of equipment, the E n g. in e e r must understand the machinery and, in addition, must be able to judge distance accurately - in order not to endanger other workers or damage equipment. H e must

.know the limitations of his own rig and the materia ls _\vith which he is wor king. '

The crane operator, for instance, must conside1~ the weight of t he mat~rial he is lifting, the length and angle

' :. of the crane's boom, the position of the boom in relatio'n ·. to the l~:mgitudinal line of the crane.

These COlJSid~rations are not resolved · by charts, · ··. tables of a 'mathematiCal formula. Rather; through ex­

. perience. the operator develops a ":feel" for . the equip-- 1 • . .

ment and its performance. .

The wor_k of an Engineer is. potentially da:i1gerous. at all times. Safety precautions are munerous, but w hen a dangerous situation arises, most oft e n it .is the good jl.1dgment of the operator that prevents an acciden.

As a resillt of the use of machines that can sw<>Jlow mountains, vast projects t hat once \Vere only cl~~eams are now feasible. A whole series of jobs for operators has emerged. Inthe future, increased demands are expected to counter-balance any job r eduction · caused by im­proved machines.

To the construct ion industry, our union provides a uiuque and vital service . · I~1 . some parts ~ o.f · the cmmtry, the highly-skilled men who .operate this compli­cated equipment have no union protectioi1. They find -themselves little better off than the pick-and-shovel laborer of 30 Years a2:o. · -"'

Consumer Advice--. • ••

July l·s Mo-nt·h. For Buying B~' SIDNEY MARGOLIUS . -

.- , . . . . - . . ~ !

As this departm~nt has been advising you, right nair we 're iri a period of stable living_ costs with some exceptional recession-born buys avai~able in appliances and clothing especially. - Now it's our duty to inform you that liv'ing costs are about to r:ise again. Already on the vvholesale level, prices of .some of the impor-

' tant raw materials like metals , and also of . food , are beginning to harderi .

This 'means that July is a time to look for ·buying opportunities i n things you are plan­ning to buy if you have. some cash to .buy

,. without 'taking on l1eavy finance charges. . Timing your shopping to antipate your needs

when price~ are most favorable is one of the most importar{t techniques of buying the most for :l our hard-e~rned dollars . .

July is an especially good _month for finding price reductions._ One of t)1e ·most import ant July' sales is. the . semi-annual ·shoe sales offer­ing reductions of 10- 2o per cent. Summer · · dresses and sportswear are cleared this month at sharp reductions. Men's shi1;ts and otl1er haberdashery are sale priced , giving you an .opportunity to fill · in wardrobe needs. July hosiery· sales give you a 'chance to save on the stockings you'll need this · fall.

In household ' equipment, refrigerators and washing machines ar·e sale-priced, even thoJgh they have been selling at reduced prices all year. In television sets, C0ll1petition has been' fierce , with some 19-inch models offered for as -little as $110- $120. ·

Families in the market for ca1's should no'.e that used-car prices take a drop after July 4.

Here are tips on other July buyi~1g oppor­tunities :

A IR CONDITIONERS Inventories are heavier th:m normal \11itl1

distributors cutting prices. In comparing v,J. ues , the BTU rating is the only fairly r eli&ble guide to cooli llg capacity. The "horsepower"

. or "ton" rating is less reliable. A 1- h.p . 3ir ·- conditioner may provide anywhere· fro:n 9000

to 12,000 BTU's, \·vhich is a large range. You may see air conditioners advertised for

as little as $179. These generally are smaller units of .· sm'netimes only 6000 BTU capacity.

. and satisfactory mily for a smaller roo:n. The most popular and generally adeqaute room air conditioner i~ the 7%-amp. 115-volt with. 9.COO BTU capacity. The retail · ·price of this size is in the $260- $280 range, with some ·dealers

' offering it as loi~' as $240- $250. This low­·amperage model generally can be used in any . outlet. The higher-BTU rnodels required to cool large areas 'in espedally-hot ·locations, are generally higher- amperage, such as 12 ·amps, aird ~ will need 220- volt wi:i'ii1g. This

involves an· additional il1stallation expense if­you don~t alreaqy have ·fiea\/y-dutfwiring-. ·' "''

MEN;S SUM:l\PER SUITS . Look ·for sales after. July 4. The three ge·n­

eral types of men's sumi11er suits and slacks are:

Lowest-price: Blends of p:J.lyester fiber (Da­cron or Kadel) with rayon,-or polyester: rayoi.1 and acrylic fiber (Odon or Creslan) generally • retail for S35 - $45. They ai'e suitable for occa­sional wear. . The higher the perce~tage of Dacron or Kadel in the blend , the more crease- . resistant and harder-weq.ring is the fabric. For example, a gJod-quality blend is 65 per cent Dacro.n, 35 per cent rayon. ·

11t1edium-price: Blends of polyester with wool v;ro rs ted, suc!} -'as a blend o£ approximately 50 per cent : Dacr'on ai1d 50 per cent worsted, retail for $40,$60. These:..generally give ionger ;Near and keep their shape better than . the polyester and rayqri blends. ·

High-price: T.he fin-est summer suits are gen­erally found in the all-wool worsted group. They often cost - $60 up. Better-quality wool

worsted trousei·s now often are available with • a permanent crease. The chemicals used for this cprocess are like those used in women's · permanent-wave solutions. ·

For all-around usefulness at 'a medium price·, we recommend the polyester-wo.rsted ·blend in suits and sports slack3, especially if you use a sui t frequently. For cmly o.cca0 onal wear such as for Sundays or dressup evenings, the polyes-tet-rayon blend is satisfactory. ·

The fiber content, of cpurse, is only one clue to the satisfaction y_pu'll get from a · suit. The cons truclion of the suit is at least as -important. An1ong the ~ess;obvious places to j udge-quality are the p::Jckets, which should be of closely­women nnaterial; the lapel. \\'hich should . roll slightly and not lie fl at : the quality of stitching around the pockets. arrn l.vJ les and other seams • (then~ should -be no signs of puckering); the trouser crotch (which should not be pieced) . Note ;oJ so how carefully the pattern or weave of the material is ·matched at the various seams.

·HOMES, JVIDRTGAGES Homeowners and those seeking houses ·

should consider these two points: · Prices of he::~ting . equipment and installa­

tions are st ill relatively' reasonable this sum-· : nu:r but, are starting t~ advance. . . '• ..

The .Government has reduced the 'interest rate on FHA , mOrtgages to 5~/4 per ce!)t, plu~ .~

one-half of 1 per cent for loan insurance._ This . • 'makes the effective rate, of 5 and% per- cent below the:. cost of ·ccmVentio_nal · mortgages in the West, but not much below rates in the-East. ·
