Michael Papdopoulos, a Greek | Foster Child, was cancelled in 1958 but he and his Foster Parents have never lost touch. He is now a dentist, planning to practice with the professor under whom he trained. In a letter to the Foster Parents Plan Director in Greece he wrote. “I lost my father, and my mother a widow with four children . . . She struggled, had a hard time and in the end she bent and fell sick. It was in 1949-50, I was a boy of ten, thin, skinny, sickly with an ill mother and my sisters working as charwomen to secure a piece of bread . . . Then I became a member of your organization. I still remember how happy I was. I saw my Foster Parents in my childish dreams like Santa Claus, smiling to me, giving me hope and courage for a better future . . . For me personally, your organization was the start of a new life.” In order to help a family to help itself PLAN also offers vocational training in some countries. Older relatives of the Foster Child as well as Foster | Children who have been graduated from PLAN care are taught marketable skills which enable them to support themselves and aid their families.

DETROIT UPI —The Ford Motor Co. has announced price increase of $23 to $32 per car, similar to those announced last week by the other U.S. auto

makers.

All four auto companies said prices were increased to cover shoulder harnesses, which by government order became standard equipment for front seats of cars built after Jan. 1 Ford said suggested retail prices of Ford. Falcon. Fairlane. Mustang and Thunderbird cars increased $23.18: prices of Mercury, Montego and Cougar cars. $23.00. and prices of Lincoln Continental cars,

$32.40.

The shoulder harnesses became standard equipment in line with revised federal safety standards for cars. The automakers said the shoulder harnesses would not be installed In convertible models, because they

could not be anchored in the OTABLE: same wav as in sedans.

Hearing set for January 16

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — A public hearing will be held Jan. 16 at the State Office Building preparatory to adoption of a new slow moving vehicle emblem for Indiana. The hearing is part of the procedure for promulgating the specifications for a triangular emblem as required under terms of a 1967 law. The law went into effect Jan. 1 and provided that the emblem be in effect by then but state police said arrests will not be made until the new regulation is promulgated. Director Floyd Kline, Sr„ of the Office of Traffic Safety was advised by Atty. Gen. John J. Dillon that he had no power to begin proceedings to adopt the implementing regulation until Jan. 1. However. Kline publicized the requirements for the emblem, which are the standards already set by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers and the Society of Automotive Engi- i neers, among others. As a result many highway trucks and farm vehicles already have obtained, these emblems. Once the regulation officially is adopted by the state, police will begin an enforcement campaign. Some areas of doubt remain to be resolved, including the question of whether bicycles are supposed to be included within the definition of a “slow moving vehicle.” The law states that “when any vehicle, whether pulled, towed, self-propelled or animaldrawn, which is not under ordinary circumstances moved, operated or driven at a speed in excess of 25 miles per hour, is moved, operated or driven on any public highway which is open for vehicular travel, It shall display a triangular slow moving vehicle emblem mounted as near as is practicable to the center of mass and at an approximate height of not less than three nor more than five feet from level ground or pava- : ment surface.”
