FRIDAY. MAY 31. UBS MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Tablets By R. E. NEALON Mail Tribune Tbl Reck Correspondent Our comments about wages in last week a Tablets were not completed. So, to finish them, we will state here that the wages quoted on the jobs to be filled, ad vertised on the air, averaged close to $5 an hour. By this scale the IS hours a farmer works would amount to $80 per day. What do they really get? We lease our ciop land to one of the best farmers we know, who puts in from 10 to 16 hours per day. Our share crop rent last year amounted to about $100 more than the taxes on the farm. The renter got a larger share of Ihe crop, but did all the work, so with the expense of keeping up equipment, gas, oil, hired help, any other unforeseen expenses and weather conditions, he didn't do as well, or at least no better than we did. So, you see that farmers do not get anywhere near the pay for their labor as other workers. The idea of support prices was brought about with the idea of letting the farmer enjoy a life somewhat like that of others. To do this, we must get more for our produce, or else taxes and other things we have to buy must come down. History tells us that when agriculture goes on the rocks that nation will perish. A very impressive ceremony was held Thursday at the Central Point cemetery, when a plaque was pre sented by the Ladies Relief Corps, Harrison Post No. 27, of Central Point. The monument was placed on a solid base for a permanent memorial to American soldiers whose graves are in the Odd Fellows cemetery. A four act play, "The Hidden Letter," put on Saturday night by active members of the Table Rock Ladies club, drew a large and appreciative audience. Members of the club, some dressed as men, did them selves proud a.i actors, carrying their lines along at a smooth running pace: Between acts, Joan Sharp kept the audience amused with commercials, selling produce from neighbor!' farms in a manner that would shame some of our disc jockeys. ' A long time ago an old timer told us he had seen the grass on what we call the desert so high that his feet would drag through it while riding a horse. We at the time thought he might be exaggerating, but this year we can see it was possible. The grass over in this area is hip high in many places and knee high on the desert. This will be a fire hazard if it is not cut or destroyed before summer weather gets here. Heard in Sunday School: The teacher told of Lot's wife, how she looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. Little Johnny said, "My mother looked back once, when she was driving and she turned into a telephone pole." The sudden death of Bob Lewis came as a surprise and severe shock in this area. Bob had been a resident of this valley all of his life. Being a person of kind deeds and generous acts, and having a belief in the predominant good in people, an altitude of charity for human weakness, and an optimistic outlook on life in general inevitably surrounds one with many friends. We had known Bob Lewis since he was a little boy in the Table Rock school. He grew up to be a hard-working man, a devoted husband and father. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Thought for the day Every man must live with the man he makes of himself.
