Brings Demand
Lebanon, Sept. 18 Petitions
were being widely circulated In
Lebanon Thursday requesting
the mayor, council and police
department to enforce all exist
lng powers of the city to compel
the fencing of mill ponds and
other "attractive nuisances'
within the city limits.
The move grew out of the
drowning last night of 28-month
old Dana Clifford Jensen, who
wandered from his home and
fell into a mill pond close by.
A general alarm was sounded
hortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday
when the child had been miss
ing for about two hours. Be

NEW PLAN BEING TESTED
Farm Wages Vary With
Prices in Sugar Cane Belt
By OVID A. MARTIN
(Aiioclfttrd PrtM Farm Writer)
Washington, Sept. 16 M" A plan under which hired workers
share with their employers the ups and downs of farm product
prices is taking hold in one segment of American agriculture.
The plan will be used the second successive season this year
in setting the wage pattern for workers harvesting the Louisiana
sugar cane crop.
If the sugar cane farm oper
ator gets above a certain price
for his raw sugar his workers
get a bonus above set wage
scales. If sugar prices drop be
low a specified level, workers
take a wage cut.
The wage scheme was set up
last year by the agriculture de
partment under authority of
sugar control legislation. Under
this legislation the government
pays subsidies to domestic pro
ducers, aimed primarily at help
ing them compete with lower-
cost producing areas.
In return for this financial
help, the sugar producer is re
quired to pay workers not less
than a minimum wage set by the

department. The theory is that
government benefits should be
shared between the producer
and his workers.
a a a
When the government first en
tered the sugar industry back
In the depression of the early
'30 s, it set more or less rigid
wage scales for sugar workers.
These scales were based in large
measure on prices and earnings
of the previous season.
Often - changing conditions
caused wage rates to be out of
line with producer earnings.
Sometimes they worked to the!
advantage of the producer, some
times to that of the worker. '
Last year the department hit
upon the Idea of the adjustable
wage scale. Reports indicate
that it worked out satisfactorily.
Anyway it will be used again
thlt year.
a
Here Is how the plan works:
If the price of raw sugar Is
between $5.60 and $6 for 100
pounds, the worker gets the so
called "base" wage rate. Thai
rate is $3. .10 a day. plus hous
ing, medlral attention, garden
and similar requisites, for cane
cullers.
For each full 10 cents that the
price of raw sugar is above $6
or below $5.60, wage rates will
Increase or decrease 6.5 cents
a day.
If the price of sugar averaged
$6.60 for 100 pounds, the day
wage rate for cutters would be
increased SO cents above the
base rate, to $3.89.
Officials believe that this
flexible wage principle could
add to agricultural stability If
used more extensively. But
they do not have authority to
set it up elsewhere.
The Marion county grand Ju

Plan ahead for cold snap
One wire thing about the wenther U the fact
that it's going to change... summer warmth
dies out, the cold spell sets in. And when the
mercury starts dropping, you'll be glad your
home is ready for instant oil heat. That's why
we suggest you plan ahead of the first cold
snap now call us for a heating oil refill today.
Another good reason for keeping your tank
full is to prevent moisture in the air inside
your tank from condensing and contaminating
your oil. When the tank is full, water can't
condense on tank walls. You'll save trouble
and expense by ordering your tank filled with
100 distilled Standard Heating Oils now.
