OFF TO THE TOMATO PATCH By Mary Corthell There la a desperate need for tomato pickers; so desperate, in fact, that students hUve been ex cused from school to pick, Ou boy, that's a pushover, sez you, to get out of school to pick few measley tomatoes. You breeze blithely into the office and tell them that you woud like to pick tomatoes. Wonderful, they say, be down at the cannery at 7:45 sharp. The next morning the alarm goes off promptly at 6:30. You get up with most of the wind taken out of your sails but feel ing very patriotic. When you get to the cannery, you are crowded into the back of a pickup with a dozen other kids and twice as , buckets and climb out of the nick- up feeling very shaVen. The boss then goes about showing you how to pull the tomatoes off the vine. You start out with the feeling that you are going to beat any body and everybody, but after two hours of steady picking, your ambitions have undergone a slight change. You also seem to have an uncanny ability to stick your ftng'er into the only rotton toma to on the vine, which doesn't help your morale any. Ah well, you think, at leaBt you aren't in school, which is small comfort with a godd three-quarters of the patch staring you in the face. After what seems au eternity, one of the teachers f,ets hungry and you go eat. Your face fails when you see a big fat juicy to mato letting .at yju from the depths of your lunch box. Oh well, such is life. After you have finished eating, and have fiddled around 'till it looks suspicious, you trudge back to the boundless tomato patch. You think wistfully of school and of the lucky kids there. You mentally kick your self for thinking such unpatriotic thoughts and go to work again. As it nears quitting time, you look at your watch on an average of every three minutes. When they finally say it's time to quit you feel so elated that you feel like running, but your sore muscles have very different ideas; so you walk stiffly back to the pickup and pile in, nerving your self for the trip home. You reach home feeling and looking like the morning after the night before. The next day in school you know why no one raises his hand when, the call for tomato pickers is repeated. As for you, you .set tle resignedly to doing your Eng lish. COME IN AND LOOK OVER OUR STOCK THE BEST FOR LESS WESTERN AUTO SUPPLY CO.
