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.

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

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

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.
