It Costs a Lot to Be an American . . . But It's Worth It Last month a Marine, due to retire, was killed in Vietnam; he had had his enlistment extended because he knew the streets of Saigon could next be the streets of his home town. A few days ago a negro was shot, going to the de fense of an elderly white couple being attacked by a gang of hoodlums. Recent newspapers reported the death in action in Asia of the third and last son of a New England couple. His two brothers had been killed — one in the Second World War, one in Korea. All three had volunteered. There are thousands more. And there are others who may not pay in quite these ways for the right to be an American but whose pay ment is hard, too. because it seems eternal — millions of wives in this amazing land whose courage and cheer are all that keep their not-so-successful husbands going, day after drab day. And husbands and fathers who “didn’t have a happy childhood" either, but who obey the law and pay their own bills by doing without things, and who teach their children to do the same. Dramatic challenge doesn’t come to many of us. War and mobs are a long way from most lives, and yet — and yet — when the challenge does come, in Vietnam or city streets, in a crowded kitchen or a discouraging job. the American — the basically decent, honest, hard working, patriotic, kindly American — comes through like the un sung hero he is. He pays the price it takes to be an American and keep this country alive. Not the self- styled leaders, not the “reformers,” not the popularity seekers. The true American. (Reprinted From a Warner & Swasey Advertisement) LETTER To the Editor FARM BUREAU FURROW Dollars to Economy, Youth Employment Now in Jeopardy Over $75 million of new wealth represented by the major hand- harvested agricultural crops could be lost by the Oregon economy if employment of youth is cur tailed by a proposal in Congress to require the payment of a mini mum wage to all agricultural workers. A recent economic impact study released by the Marion county Farm Bureau labor com mittee reports that the f. o. b. value after processing for pole beans, strawberries and the ma jor cane berries, which are har vested almost entirely by hand, principally by youth during the summer vacation, exceeds $75 million. Using production data for 1964, furnished by Oregon State uni versity, the information was com piled by the Oregon Farm Bureau federation at the request of the Marion county Farm Bureau. Studies found that Blue Lake pole beans generated $31,440,000; strawberries, $29,097,000; and cane berries, $14,647,000. According to OSU, a total of 35,370 acres were involved in 1964 in production of these crops. Because the proposal in Con gress would not allow the em ployment of children under 12 years of age in agriculture, the Marion county Farm Bureau re port includes also a summary of surveys taken by the Oregon State Employment service. A survey of some 66,000 straw berry workers, taken on June 30, 1962, indicated that 37.3 percent or 24,914 workers would not be available if children under 12 could not work. The survey show ed that 12,684 out of 56,375 local workers (22.5 percent) were un der 12 years of age. About half of these under-12 workers were in platoons and day hauls and the other half were members of drive-out crews. Over 8000 drive-outs, which in cluded parents, relatives and friends who were taking groups of youngsters to work, said they would not be available for work Sterling, Colorado April 24. 1966 Nyssa Gate City Journal Box 785 Nyssa. Oregon Gentlemen: Thank you for your letter on where to purchase “Oregon for the Curious.” I have already sent in my check for this pamphlet. Mr. A. D. Smith of Merino, Colorado, used to live in your city I and he subscribes for the paper. He was associated with the sugar company. Just for a little added informa-' tion to you. Mr. Smith brought I in your paper to me before I re ceived your letter, so the delivery service is really good. Thank you very much for your kind reply to my letter and should I get into Nyssa this fall I will certainly try and say “thanks” personally. Yours sincerely, L. L. LYON 215 Beattie Street Sterling, Colorado VISITORS IN CALDWELL Earl Chard, Mr. and Mrs. Ewen Chard were Sunday guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Chard at Caldwell, helping the latter couple celebrate their birth day anniversaries. if those under 12 could not work. Both interstate and intra state workers housed on farms said they come to Oregon so the whole family can work. A sur vey of 8950 of these farm-hous ed workers indicated that 4220 or 47.4 percent would not come to the area if children under 12 could not work. A more recent survey taken in 1964 of 1767 strawberry workers found that 18 percent of the crews were under 12 years of age and 86.3 percent were 15 and under. Only 3 percent were 18 years or older. The Farm Bureau is urging farmers, their employees, allied industries and others interested in the economy of the state to write to their Congressmen requesting modification of the minimum wage - minimum age proposals as applied to agriculture.
