Equal Wages Employment service offic ials are required to make sure that migrants ' are offered wages and working conditions equal ' to those ' prevailing among" "domestic"' farm workers In; the same area; and that "hygienic and adequate housing - facilities" are avail able' for migrant : families.

The floor under migrant wages will be a very low one at best, since the "prevailing" scale for domestic farm work ers is often about 50 cents an hour, or less. 3. Housing judged "ade quate" for migrant families can still be pretty ghastly. This reporter has visited many migrant camps that are oniciaiiy regaraea as unusual ly good. He was appalled at the conditions he found there. Wrap-Tie Wonder -SIZES - 12-20; 40 m v I Cinch to sew just three main, pattern parts to cut out, stitch up. No fitting worries- just wrap 'n' tie.

Despite their restricted scope, the new regulations have brought protests ' from large farm organiz a t i o n s. They charge that Mitchell's action will interfere with "farm freedom" and drive up farm production costs. The Secretary of Labor has a sharp answer to these complaints. "There is no freedom to ex ploit," he says. "The condi tions under which many of our farm workers live and work is an affront to the con science of the "American people. In this country we do not choose to keep down our bills, including our food bills, at the- cost of overworking and underpaying human be ings." Must Do More Mitchell ; believes the gov ernment must do much more to protect migrants than it has done so far. He points to surveys showing that the aver age migrant now earns less than $900 a year - an income level that reflects both his low hourly wage and the fact that he is subjected to fre quent long spells of forced un employment - when there are no crops to pick. ; Migrants are not covered by unemployment insurance, minimum w a g e,' workmen's compensation or other laws that protect most American employes. Frequently they are denied the use of public health, educational and wel fare facilities in the communi ties which are their tempor ary homes. Residence require ments bar them from public relief checks - even if their families are literally threaten ed by starvation. Mitchell believes that prob lems of the migrants will never be substantially reliev ed until Congress provides them with "the protection of a minimum wage of some kind." The Labor Department is currently making a study to determine what kind of law would be feasible, and recom mendations may be sent to Congress next year. ACCURACY ABOVE ALL ' Birmingham, England -UPD-City officials ordered the 1,000 penny-in-a-slot weight machines in Birmingham test ed for accuracy, because, as one put it, "a lot of women attach great significance to their weight and an inaccur ate reading could cause un necessary alarm and despondency."; Sea birds and turtles and other salt-water reptiles have kidneys that can't eliminate high concentrations of salt at all but remove the salt through tear glands near their eyes. ILLINOIS VALLEY Reservoir Papers Set By MARGARET M. CROWL Cave Junction The first formal -step in the process of previewing a storage reservoir on Sucker creek and related irrigation canals was taken by directors of the district at a recent meeting. ' : This was the signing of two applications, prepared by the office of the district engineer of the bureau of reclamation. Both are to be filed with the state engineer's office before Dec. 31. - The first application was "to appropriate public waters in' the State of Oregon" and its diversion from Sucker creek. The amount of water is estimated at 250 cubic: feet per second. The second is an applica tion for a permit to construct a reservoir "to store water for beneficial use of unappropriat ed waters ip. the state of Ore gon." The estimated amount of water to be stored by the res ervoir is 34,300 acre feet. (This is the figure used in the preliminary plans of the bu reau of reclamation for the reservoir.) The dam, the application says, is to be located in Sucker creek with Greenstone rock appearing on the surface of the right abutment, while in the creek bed and on the left abutment there is a 40 foot layer of clay, silt, gravel, sand and boulders. The spillway is reported as a "Glory Hole" type. The out let of the works is to utilize a 12-foot ' diameter diversion tunnel. The application says that construction cost of the stor age reservoir is approximate ly $9 million. Construction is to start on or before October, 1963, and the date of comple tion is given as on or before October, 1967. In a covering letter, Lee McAllister of the bureau of reclamation, told the directors of the Sucker creek district that all of the dates given are tentative. He also said there would be final modifications of the plans for the diversion dam and storage 'dam, and that adjustments in the application would be made to suit the en gineering plans at a later date. Meeting Urged on Obscene Literature Portland -(HPD- Mayor Terry Schrunk has written Gov. Mark Hatfield urging that a statewide meeting be called to plan a campaign against obscene literature. " The mayor said that since a meeting on the subject was held here he had received more than 500 letters, many of them from outside the Port land area. He said local laws and ordinances should be used where applicable but that the biggest part of the job, he be lieves, will be done by public opinion. "I think a concerted ( state wide program among the vari ous cities and areas should be instituted," he said. He urged Hatfield to take any action be lieved necessary to start pro grams of effective action through the state. Court Records MUNICIPAL COURT Ervin Glen Schulz. 19. of 1140 Loal st..
