Newspaper Page TextO o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFCJ'D, ORE. MONDAY, Migratory At Human Ashland - Dunbar Carpen ter of the Jackson County Fruit Growers League discuss ed the migratory worker at a meeting o the Ashland Hu man Rights Council last week. He also presented the case for the fruit grower, who he said is at the mercy of an un predictable and inadequate la bor force in harvesting a per ishable crop. The Rev. Ed Wulfekuehler, program chairman, introduced Carpenter, who began by say ing the problem of the mi grant worker is one that evok es sympathy and is involved. There are between l'ii and 2 million migrant workers in the United States living under substandard conditions, endur ing hardships and are seldom well treated by employers or the public. Sociological Problem According to Carpenter, the predicament of the migrant workers is more a sociological problem than an economic , one. He contended that mi grant workers, for the most part, are the people who are not adequately equipped men tally, emotionally and some times physically to cope with life's problems.- He said the Orchardist never knows when the migrant worker will walk off in the middle of harvest, and leave the fruit on the trees. Fundamental Principal Carpenter asserted that the basic problem of the migra tory worker would not be helped too much If the farm er were to pay higher wages, although it would be the hu mane approach. He admitted : that the growers brought many of the problems on themselves, but slated that the solution will have to come Russia Resumes Jamming of 'Voice' London - llll'll - The Soviet Union resumed its jammiig of Voice of America Russian-language broadcasts today after a one-day respite, the Brit ish Broadcasting Corporation reported. - . BBC said the jamming ceased Sunday for the first time since the abortive Paris summit conference Inst May, but was "back to normal to day.

In this area, fruit does not sell for any more than it did in J 050, and it is a constant battle to hold costs down, in cluding wages, he said. Al though wages are well below what industry pays, he said that northwest wages are high er than anywhere else. Carpenter pointed out that this valley has brought in Mexican nationals to help with the pear harvest every season since early in World War II, The Mexicans, who amount to less than 10 per cent of the total harvest labor force, are not migrant work ers. He said there has not been a single year which would not have had a serious economic loss if it had not been for Mexican nationals. Costs More Money it costs the farmer more money to employ the Mexi cans than it docs domestic la bor because of transportation costs from Mexico, housing, and administrative personnel. According to Carpenter, the orchardists would use only do mestic labor if they could be depended upon to get the crop harvested. Last year, the Jackson Coun ty Fruit Growers League em ployed 348 Mexican nationals, he said, who worked a total of 93,l3fl hours for an average of $1.43 per hour. At the same time, the fruit growers had asked for 2.378 pickers from the farm employment office. The latter was able to refer only 1,915 workers, of whom 1,805 turned up for work. Carpenter said that in his operation, Mexican nationals constituted 7 per cent of the labor hired, but they picked 3(1 per cent of the crop. Many domestic workers worked just one day, while"78 per cent stayed less than a week. The Maxicans remained for the five weeks on contract. Carpenter said that In this area there is not the regular flow of migratory workers there is elsewhere. He assured the Council that the living quarters here for migratory workers, while not plush, are clean and comfor table with inside plumbing, hot and cold water, and facili ties have to pass a state stand ard of Inspection.

But regardless of its ability to fly, it is chained to the earth, because once the thrust of power fails, it falls. The power of gravity, ever present, is always exerting its force. It sits on the ground with ease; a man walks upon the ground with equal ease. Walking or running takes ef fort. Anything out of the reg ular pattern becomes ' hard work. The ocean-going porpoise is chained to the water, but it can get partly out of its nat ural element for short inter vals of time with tremendous effort when it "walks on its tail." To accomplish this it must expend all the muscu lar power it possesses in order to remain in an upright posi tion. It is only the exception al few porpoises that figure the effort is worth the advan tages gained. By Themselves Some porpoises, being a shade more intelligent than their fellows or perhaps a little more curious develop the trick by themselves. Wild porpoises have been observed many times coming up out of the water and "standing on their tails" in order to see what, if anything, is going on. , Captive porpoises are taught the stunt. Usually it is adver tised as a dancing porpoise or as a "porpoise that walks on its tail." To accomplish this rather unnatural position the animal must wave the tail violently back and forth with powerful thrusts, until the wa ter actually "boils" with the fury of the effort. Some of the captive animals who have mastered the tech nique can remain suspended in the air for several seconds, and have only about a foot of CONTRACT VOTED New York-IUPII-Harbor tug boat crews voted overwhelm ingly Sunday to accept a new three year labor contract, end ing another threat to the city's harassed transportation facili ties. r avnwkct car - COMET DEALER olVISION M-nl, $Av'(-1mp, Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M.
