Many of them are already working for the account of the Tenth F i v e - Y e a r Plan. F o r example, City Soviet Deputy E. N. Isakova, a finished-product s o r t e r in Section No. 2, fulfilled her f i v e - y e a r assignment in May 1974, and is at work on the t a r g e t for 1977.

F o r example, M. S. I g n a t ' e v a , a p r e s s o p e r a t o r in Section No. 4 has committed h e r s e l f to reaching the y e a r ' s output t a r g e t by D e c e m b e r 15 in place of D e c e m b e r 25 as stated in her e a r l i e r c o m m i t m e n t , and to mold 150 tons products in e x c e s s of the planned amount.

He also saved 1086 l i t e r s fuel in nine months. A team of f a c e - w o r k e r s in the "Volgino" q u a r r y led by City Soviet Deputy V. I.
