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.
