OSHAWA 'Spray Paint 'Job Colorful Back in the 'Good Old Days," there. was no such thing as | spray painting, spray booths or {| paint control, not as we know | them today, and the painting of cars'was done by hand. Spray guns were unheard-of, and coats of paint were labor- iously applied by hand, then were to a high gloss. ' When the paint supply ran dry, it was up to the painter or his helper to trundle another drum of lacquer up from the store room. Today nearly: all a spray painter in GM's Body Paint Department has to do is pick up a high-pressure paint line for the color he requires and attach it to his spray gun. Paint for these high-pressure guns is fed through a series of pipes up to the Paint Department from special paint mix rooms, where it is stored under ideal temper- ature, mixed and blended to the proper consistency and fed to the spraying booths. There are 44 tanks holding 22 different colors here, and the mixing and paint circulation goes on 24 hours a day. The spray booths themselves are temperature - controlled, well- lighted and feature filtered air- intake ventilation to ensure the protection. of health, ONLY THE BEST GM realizes that only the very best in automatic health and labor-saving devices are good enough for its employees when. such high-volume manu- facturing operations 'are being carried out daily. The body enters the paint shop and after application of rust protection and the first prime coat, it is sealed against dust and water. The painting, which is equiv- alent to seven coats, is done in water -\washed s pray booths which carry away all fumes. Then the freshly painted body moves. directly into the bake ovens for drying. HIGH WAGES General Motors' contribution| to the city economy in 1963 was over $151 million up from $127.6 million in 1962. Of this total ap- proximately $100 million was' paid in salaries and wages to people employed in turning out the more than 300,000 cars and trucks that come off GM's line each year.

SCHOLARS BACK COMIC STRIPS BORDIGHERA, Italy (AP) Italian scholars came to the defence of. the comic strip Monday, They said the com- ics aid study, contain pro- found moral! lessons and ease pressures in a_ world of neuroses. The scholars gave these views in a round-table dis- cussion at an_ international comics exhibition in this Ital- ian Riviera city. Among those attending are American comic-strip authors Al Capp, David Pascal and Lee Falk. Professor Alberto Giordano, an Italian scholar, said that, far from interfering with a child's study, comics stimu- late curiosity and prompt the child to study more eagerly.' Philosopher Umberto Eco said 'we must encourage comic authors, instead of producing soulless puppets, to give us more genuine charac- ters."
