The Biddeford Teachers negotiating team tentatively accepted a minimum $500 yearly base salary increase, setting a $5,200 base plus a 5 percent index. The package includes 0.75 percent survivor benefits, payroll deduction changes, and rejects third party mediation and two sabbatical leaves. Ratification by the Teachers Association is still required.
Thieves cracked the Baker Co. Granite Street plant in Biddeford and the Seal Rock Beverage plant on Old Orchard Road in Saco.

Police investigate with two breaks described and no other missing items.
Senate House conferees reached final agreement on a Social Security bill with the largest cash benefit and tax increases in history but short of Johnson's full proposals. The package raises basic benefits by at least 13 percent for 24 million beneficiaries, with a 25 percent boost for the lowest earners, and increases the minimum monthly payment from 44 to 55 dollars. It also raises the taxable earnings base to 7,800 dollars next year, boosting the maximum tax to 343.20 dollars in 1968, while tightening Medicaid grants and introducing work requirements for Aid to Families with Dependent Children. The final bill leans toward the House version, with 1969 costs and revenue projections outlined and Johnson’s 15 percent raise largely set aside.
