Bernica F. - My husband
keeps piling work on me.
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.

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

en during the past few years
to counteract any serious ef
fects of the termination of the
bracero program.
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.
