Tiie awan song of the let tuce and many other table crops that grew in abundance in the highly irrigated Imper ial Valley of Southern Cali fornia has been warbled by the House of Representatives in lis decision not to extend the Mexican farm labor pro gram into 1904.

Matthew F.-She just wants to sound like a heroine. Barnica F. - We live in a rural community and I'm used to hard work. But there's a limit. My husband drinks, so I hold a part-lime job to be sure of cash in the house, I also must tend the coal-fire and take care of Mntt's 8 year-old mother. We have two eons, IB and 17, who want to enlist, but Matt expects them to stay home to help me with chores. This, Isn't fair to them. His mother and he should pilch in. Malhew F.- Ihclp my wife plenty. I admit I go overboard with the bottle occasionally, but I make up for it by doing a heavy job around the house. The younger boy can sign up If he wants. His brother en joys waiting on Grandma, helps with the coal-stove and In summers holds a post-office job. Between him and me, we hand over money to Bcrnice frequently, but she wants more. If I drink, she drives me to it. The Council! This husband seems more adept at passing the buck than earning it. Fun ning her home is like playing a game of musical chairs for Bcrnice, where she's the one left over when the music slops. She wanls to atop the game and bring the other members of tho household lo their feet. . , We gather ' they're all in good health, even Grandma, so the first step In lightening Bernice's load would be the interven tion of a family counselor lo ssign fixed household duties to each. This should end the easy assumption that it's quite all right for tho others to loaf, Bernice will come to the res cue. The social worker will support her In defending her Tights" and ending t h e wrongs she endures , , . Next would comu a job on Mat thew. His shirking of his proper role as hcad-of-the-house, breadwinner, help mate, knocks everyone else's role off-base. We agree that the boys should be released to make their own way instead of serving as flunkeys to Grandma and Dad. All Ber nice needs is a partner. SUNDAY. JULY 14. 1963 smooth changeover from table to field crops. Brought Across Border Each year since World War II, thousands of Mexican workers have been brought across the international border to perform "stoop labor" in harvesting the many vegetable crops lhat thrived on the com bination of an abundant sup ply of Colorado river water and the hot desert sun. It was a chore not relished by the majority of domestic farm workers. Can American farm labor fill the employment void cre ated in the valley with the death of the bracero program? Outspoken of Growers Mos growers here say "no." They nay the, end ot Public Law 18 will cause complete change in crop production In the rich tortile area bounded by the Colorado river, Mexico and the Coast Range. . Most outspoken of the grow ers is Ed Hayes, manager of the Imperial Valley Farmers Association. "This action will very ser iously affect growers of to matoes, melons, onions and other crops in the Imperial valley, said Hayes, I think we can foresee a drop in our lettuce acreage from the present 40,000 acres to nothing next season unless we cun do something about the situation." Hayes was quick to point out that steps have been tak Helena Rubinstein Oncc-a-Year Beauty Sale HAVE BEAUTIFUL UPS AND FINGERTIPS! Buy: Fashion Stick. Lipstick and lir liner in one.

He said in January of 1061, braceros working in the valley totaled 8,200. Last year the to tal was 3,200 and last Janu ary this number dwindled to 3,808. Increase Other Crops What will take the place of the valley's vegetable crop that had a cash value of over $50 million last year? Hayes looks to an increase in field crops which can be harvested by machine. Among those crops slated for acreage Increase are sugar beets. Over 61,000 acres were planted last year. Barley, cotton and flax also became more abundant. Of high priority is the de velopment of the cattle feed ing industry In the valley. Under this plan, cattle from as far away as Texas are shipped here to fatten in spe cially constructed pens until they reach their peak for mar ket. Last year, over 000,000 head were shipped to the valley for this purpose.
