A well-planned packaged travel tour should offer no unpleasant, expensive surprises. However, the would-be vacationer should always investigate package travel plans with the help of a professional travel agent. These well-constructed plans generally allow the traveler to fairly accurately calculate the total cost of a trip beforehand. For trips to European destinations, in particular, many international airlines are offering their own land arrangements in combination with very attractive special air fares. The result can be very substantial savings for the vacationer. Once the traveler begins to investigate these plans, he will be quite surprised at the low/no cost features that only a well organised, experienced tour operator can offer. When you begin to plan that special vacation don't rush thru it. Finding out all the details is almost as important as the actual trip and should be fun, not a chore. As professional travel agents, we at WARSAW TRAVEL AGENTS are committed to giving you the best advice as benefits, you the traveler.

Progress slow for women, journalism survey finds

Women in top-level newspaper management positions are making little progress toward salary equity with their male counterparts, a recently completed survey by Christine L. Ogan of the Indiana University School of Journalism shows. A five-year update of a 1977 1U study of the nation's daily press managers indicates that the actural dollar gap between male and female managers increased during the period from $15,938 to $18,147 per year. More encouraging in the salary equity question is the fact the percentage of men’s salaries earned by women also increased over the five-year period. In 1977, women earned 52.5 per cent of what men earned; in 1982, 60.1 per cent. The salary difference exits, the IU journalism professor noted, despite the fact that the study indicated that women managers work as many hours per day, have nearly equal job responsibilities and have somewhat more education than men in newspaper management. Women who do make it to the top levels of the profession tend to work for small newspapers, where the salaries might be expected to be somewhat lower, Ogan pointed out. However, men managers make significantly higher salaries than women managers even in the small newspapers. The 1977 IU study determined that about 2.4 per cent of the publishers, top editors, and advertising, circulation and production managers of daily newspapers were women. Only two per cent of those responding to the 1982 survey were women. The 1982 survey, titled “Life at the Top for Men and Women Newspaper Managers: A FiveYear Update on Their Characteristics,” produced no conclusive reason for the lack of women top-level managers in the newspaper business, but Ogan has a theory: “It may be that the nature of the jobs force women to make choices between careers and family. Certainly there is a large enough pool of women working in Driver falls asleep Phillip A. Feldman, 18, r 2 North Webster, was not injured when his auto ran off the road early Saturday monring, May 29. The accident happened near Sleepy Owl Restaurant, SR 13 south of Syracuse. Police state Feldman was traveling on SR 13 north of CR 650E, shortly after 3 a.m. when he fell asleep and ran off the road near the restaurant. Damage was estimated up to SI,OOO. Driver in ICU after accident Timothy Stiver, 23, 15828 CR 146 Syracuse, complained of hip pain, and was taken to Goshen Hospital but not hospitalized in an accident Saturday, May 28, at 1:15 a.m. The driver was in the intensive care unit at Elkhart Hospital. Stiver was a passenger in a truck driven by Thomas Lechlitner, 34, r 4 Goshen. Lechlitner suffered head and chest injuries. The accident occurred on CR 6, west of CR 17, east of Elkhart. According to Elkhart County Sheriff’s deputies, who investigated, Douglas R. Kessler, 22, 51154 Blue Ribbon Lane, Elkhart, was driving a 1977 AMC Jeep, pulling a trailer, when the trailer crossed the center line and the left front wheel of Lechlitner’s truck struck the trailer. The truck driven by Lechlitner was a 1978 International fertilizer sprayer truck, owned by Elkhart County Farm Bureau Co-Op. The vehicle rolled onto its side, skidding into a tree and rolling onto its top. Damage estimates were not available.

the industry from which to select managers. Women made up 38.1 per cent of the daily newspaper work force in 1981.” Ogan goes on to explain, “Life as a manager typically means spending about 50 hours a week on the job, and the work may involve early morning, late evening and week end time. This may explain why only about half of the women managers are married, and why one-third of them have no children. “About 88 per cent of the men managers in the survey were married, 90 per cent had children and about half had spouses who did not work outside the home. Spouses of the married women managers, meanwhile, all worked outside the home. “It may be easier for the men to juggle the roles of manager, husband and father,” the IU journalism professor concluded. The study was funded by the Gannett Foundation. goK A Mm # ■HIM RETIRES — Ralph E.
