Strike Lockout Ties Up Transport Nationwide
A trucking strike lockout in the Chicago area continued with no settlement in sight while wildcat actions spread nationwide. Akron drivers voted 4,000 to continue the walkout, and other regions including Los Angeles and St. Louis saw drivers off the job. Thousands of workers faced lay offs as production halted at a Kenosha plant, with American Motors suspending two models. A nationwide tentative agreement awaits a driver vote on a $1.10 hourly raise over three years.

Choir earns top marks at Coeur d'Alene Music Festival
Mrs. Dana Meehan leads a select choir that received very high ratings at the Coeur d'Alene Music Festival on April 18. Ninth graders studied pollution the week of April 22 and spent Saturday picking up trash along the west highway and Pine Street and making posters and essays on the topic. Earth Day included a talk by Charles Gary of the Fish and Game Commission and slide show on pollution before students cleaned areas around town. A large pile of trash was displayed at the school to show the effort, and some students will receive Unsatisfactory Slips by May 1.
