March of Dimes raised more than $32,000 auctioning off dates with 28 bachelors. Bradley P. Rich, an attorney with Yengich, Rich, Xaiz and Me-to- s in Salt Lake, promised a lucky lady a trip to San Diego for a weekend of learning to sail. His girlfriend bought the package. "We would spend our days sailing the Pacific and Saturday night exploring the city," Rich advertised in a brochure handed out to about 600 women who attended the bidding. "On Sunday afternoon we will be awarded our "Certificates of Graduation" and return to Salt Lake City, undoubtedly exhaustSALT LAKE CITY By TOM WALTON However, workers will have the chance to recoup some of those losses through the proposed profit sharing agreement. At the end of each year, USX will compute its steel profits and pay a percentage of them into an employee profit-shar- e Herald Staff Writer More than 1,000 idled steel workers attended a Wednesday briefing on the contract proposal between USX and the steelworkers' union. summaAccording to the ry handed out to union members during the meeting at Mountain View High School, the core issue in the dispute centered on the company's contracting out of work. The language in the proposal will resolve most of the disputes before the fact, accelerate the settlement of grievances and increase employment security, the summary said. According to Local 2701 president George Gardner, one steelworker will be recalled for every job that goes out. . Gardner also said early retirees will be protected by pension benefits. The union president expects the bottom line to be an employment level near that of last summer. However, those people going back to work would assume significant wage reductions a sacrifice of about 99 cents per hour in base rates and 13 cents in incentive earings ($1.12 total). Gardner said the loss of benefits during the first year would be "about the same." Other economic features include suspension of the cost of living increases and a discontinuation of the additive, a Sunday premiums reduction from 1 12 to 1 14, deletion of three holidays and a change in the calculation of vacation pay to eliminate the effects of shift differentials, overtime and Sunday premiums. pool. From the first $200 million of USX pre-ta- x income, 10 percent will go into the pool ($20 million). From any additional income, 20 percent will go into the pool. From this pool, the company will distribute on April 15 following each calendar year lump-supayments to employees in proportion to their earnings for the preceding year. The most that the company will pay into the pool for any year is the total amount of all employee sacrifices. m According to Gardner, in the event USX does not turn a profit, workers will still receive some payback reflecting 19 to 20 percent of the sacrifices. Unfortunately for Geneva workers, there is no clause in the contract proposal guaranteeing the plant's security. "That doesn't mean we won't always be here, it just means USX won't guarantee it," he said. "USX did agree to help even with funding the feasibility study of the Geneva Advisory Board." The proposed agreement, if ratified, will be for a term of four years beginning Feb. 1. In addition, the benefits agreemennt will retain customary lag dates and expire five months after the tentative labor agreement. A ed." Rich's girlfriend and another woman attending the auction quickly bid up to $2,300, growing more tentative as the figure reached $3,000. The two kissed romantically on the stage and drew a standing ovation from the crowd. Outside at the cashier's table, Rich pulled out his credit card to cover the donation. on Craig Bolerjack, sportscaster Channel 5, was the next highest date at $3,100. Two women KSL-T- .la.vu7-- furiously up to $1,550 when Bolerjack agreed to let each of them have a date which included flying in Chopper 5 after a lobster dinner. "Hey, this guy is a star," auctioneer Mike Scott, seen on television commericals, told the screaming crowd. "Not an ordinary dentist, a TV star." Bids were almost immediately pushed to $600 when all but two women dropped out, throwing it back and forth until it reached $1,550. Scott asked Boler- The contribution back three-fold.- " bid By KAYLENE NELSEN jack to consider two separate dates, each for $1,550. "Why not," Bolerjack replied. Eligible date partners included men from several vocations, including radio and TV personalities, lawyers, a dentist, real estate agents, advertising executives and a restaurateur. The date packages ranged from dinners at local restaurants to trips to Disneyland and Los Angeles and skiing on Utah slopes. Women were invited to peruse brochures before the event, studying personal details about the men and what dates they were offering. After winning a bid, most of the women were so excited they couldn't remember the amount, what the date included or even the name of the lucky bachelor. Attorney Edward R. Munson said he agreed to become a bachelor-up-for-bi- d at the March of Dimes event because he thought "it was one ui the best ways to get involved, to do something that helps. t m mm mm mat -- t r i Most of the bachelors had to admit the experience of standing on stage in front of all those women was frightening. "I think I can smile in about five minutes," Bill Cook, a real estate broker, said a few minutes after leaving the stage. His date paid $1,000 for a two-daskiing trip to Sun Valley, Herald Staff Writer out-of-to- Idaho. Christine Burnett of Salt Lake City said she went to the auction just for fun. She ended up paying $1,100 for a date with KSL radio personality Tom Bock. The two will be going to dinner and the symphony or ballet. Kelly Monson. promotions director at KRSP FM radio, was surprised at how much women were willing to bid for dinner and a concert with him. "I thought I'd be lucky if I went for $709. I never dreamed it would be $1,400." Some of the girls came armed friends at work as their pledges toward the cause. March of Dimes officials were more than pleased at the response. They estimated dates would sell for no more than $500. Only one went for less than that figure. Officials estimate that with almost everything donated for the event. March of Dimes stands to have one of the most successful fundraising events for the lowest cost. i? n u r vs i VALUABLE COUPON STATE INSPECTION AND EMISSION TEST Mb) POOR'S 333 West 1230 North, Provo (i block S1 START 4i run 373-285- 5 AM 6PM SATUIOAV i a. mm. 11 I nn Annnnnn vtrv UULa U 1UUUJ PAYMENT " U $271,000. T'Provo City Council members Wednesday night told a Provo doctor it looked like he had lost control of his property located in the;South Fork of Provo Canyon. But council chairman Charles Henson told him the deed had already been turned over to Provo City and been recorded with the county recorder's office. He said that under current Provo law the only way the property could now change hands would be for the city to declare the property surplus and offer it for sale under the bidding process. "It may be advisable for you to meet with city attorneys, but it's my understanding that we can't make any other arrangements," Henson said.
