Jobs for the Unskilled
The national unemployment
problem is concentrated to a
high degree among the unskill
ed, inexperienced and untrain
ed members of our labor force.
Two recent developments in the
field of federal legislation have
a bearing on the prospects of
these people for finding jobs.
’The first is the increase in
the statutory minimum wage to
$1.25 per hour. This is the fi
nal step in the increases sched
uled by legislation passed in
Idol. It can’t help but have
seme effect in reducing job op
portunities for workers at the
low end of the wage scale. You
don’t encourage employers to
hire people by making it more
expensive for them to do so.
Whether the job-destroying ef
fect will be great or small is
difficult to predict in advance,
and will even be difficult to as
sess after the fact since so many
either things are always happen
ing to affect employment.
In any case this is a step in
the wrong direction. And if past
history is any guide we may
expect that it will be taken as
a signal to begin the campaign
for the next increase in the
minimum wage.
Another significant event is
the passage by the Senate of an
afmendment to the Manpower
Development and Training Act
df 1962. The Act set up a pro
gram for retraining working
people so as to qualify them
for available jobs. As originally
conceived this was to become
a joint federal-state program in
1964, with the states paying half
the cost. The amendment would
relieve the states of this bur
den and finance the program
through June 1965 wholly with
ft «*ral funds. j
The reason such an amend-1
ment is being proposed is that
the states have shown little in
clination to go along with the
50-50 deal. Only 3 states out
of the 50 have appropriated the
necessary funds for participat
ing in 1964. Two interpreta
tions can be put on this devel-;
coment: either the states are not
convinced of value of the pro
gram, or else they believe that
by dragging their feet they can
force the federal government to
pay the whole bill. On either
interpretation, there does not
seem to be a good case for
doubling federal expenditures on
this program to keep it alive.
One of the grounds on which
Senator Clark of Pennsylvania,
a chief proponent of the amend
ment, explained away the inac
tion of the states is a curious
one. According to the Senator
the states are suffering from
limitations on their tax
ing power, as a result of the
taxes which have been stolen or
preempted by the Federal Gov
ernment.” by this theory, the
federal government ought to as
sume an increased expenditure
burden because its excessive sis-

Three inches have . been added to the
Wheelbase and almost a foot to the length
of the all-new Buick Special for 1964, which
for the first time is built on a solid steel
frame. The Special is not only longer, but is
also wider, roomier and has more door space
for easier entrance and exit. An improved
, new V-6 engine with displacement increased
cal needs have impaired the
ability of the states to pa ytheir
proper share. It is easy to see
where this kind of logic would
lead.
The creation of new jobs for
those presently unemployed will
depend on the expansion of
business enterprises. Given suf
ficient incentive and the neces
sary capital, business will ex
pand production, hire people,
and if necessary train them in
the required skills. New gov
ernment spending programs, by
reducing the prospect for thor
oughgoing tax-rate reform, will
impede the job-creating process.

Backache
Ever have a backache?
Almost everyone does now and
then. All the way from a dull,
uncomfortable ache to sharp, al
most incapaciting pain.
Some physicians credit soft
beds, soft chairs and the other
comforts of .modern civilization
with an increase in the number
of persons who suffer from low
back pain, says Today’s Health,
the magazine of the American
Medical Association.
Once called lumbago, back
pain is often caused by poor pos
ture, obesity, ill-fitting or inap
propriate shoes, a sedentary life,
over-strenuous work, or partici
pation in sports. It may also
be due to disease not directly
relating to the back or to in
jury or strain.
Low back pain may occur at
any age but it seems to bother
middle-aged persons most. It oc
■urs in both sexes and in all
races, and is more common with
people who do work that re
quires stooping or lifting.
Good posture of the entire
body is important in preventing
lew back pain. Sit with the
head, shoulders, and trunk erect.
When standing, the spine should
be straight. Not the military
“ramrod” posture, but straight.
A soft, saggy bed and low,
soft chairs contribute to back
ache. Chairs, ideally, should be
firm, straight and have the con
tour of a normal back.
A low-heeled shoe is best for
standing or walking. High-heel
ed shoes tend to throw the pos
ture off balance and increase
strain on the lower back. Loaf
ers, ballet slippers an,d sneakers
also may lead to backache if
worn extensively.-

In lifting heavy objects, keep
the back straight and lift with
knees and thigh muscles, rather
than bending over and straining
the spine.
Like many other ailments,
backache may be aggravated by
emotional tension or anxiety.
Treatment of backache varies
with the cause. When it’s due l
to strain, usually rest, heat and
a pain reliever will help. Mas
sage, used in moderation, may
help relieve discomfort. Your
doctor may also recommend ex
ercise to strengthen the muscles
of the back and to imprdve pos
ture.
Backache is a common ailment
among Americans. If your back
pain persists, consult your phy
sician.

IN MEMORIAM
In sad but loving memory of
my son, Ferma Ward, who de
parted from this life 13 years
ago, October 2, 1950.
We have only your memory,
dear Ferma.
To treasure our whole life
through;
But the sweetness will last for
ever,
As we cherish the memory' of
you.
We think of our dear loved one,
And wonder why it was this
way. . , ,
The circle which now is broken,
Will be complete some day.
God gave us all we have.
We thank Him day by day.
He is the One who loves us all
He gave, and He taketh away.
