Slate Labor Commission er Frank Crane reported this week. Issuing a special Labor Depart ment survey of .January, 1959 wages in retail trade, service in dustries, and miscellaneous 'fion- manufacturing enterprises, Com- mi.ssioner Crane listed the earn ings of Tar Heel workers in groups ranging from below 55^ cents an hour to as high as 991 cents. The Labor Department study shows that a total of 172,600 workers earn less than Sl.OO an hour, 129,900 under 85 ccnts an hour, 79,100 under 75 cents, 64,- 000 under 70 cents, 51,000 under 65 cents, 37,800 under 60 ccnts, and 25,300 under 55 cents. Among the total of 237,200 re tail trade and scrvice-industry workers employed in North Car olina, said Crane, 1,133,000 peo ple, or 56 per cent of the group, earn less than $1.00 an hour. Wagw under 85 renls an hour Government Helps Farmers Turn '40 Acres, Mule' Into Security Only a few farmers can still make headway with “40 acres and a mule.” Today’s farms aver age 242 acres, and one can travel for miles through .some farminj^’ areas without ever .seeing a mule. Increasingly, small farmers arc recognizing the need for en I larging the size of their opera | tions in order to provide .security | for their families. But this t^kc*. money. I Some farmers have enough savings to meet the cost of ex panding and developing their farms, and others are borrowing funds from banks and other pri vate sources. Still others, who are unable to obtain adequate credit elsewiiere are turning to the F’armers Home Administra> lion of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for direct or insured loans. Last year 4,750 white and colored farm .families boMowedI $62.5 million through this ageij; cy mainly to enlarge and de- vevlop their farms.

Jones, Salisbury, N. C., pre siding bishop of the Fourth Epis copal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, delivered the address at the open ing program held in Harrison Au ditorium on Sunday, Febrimry 8. Speaking from the subject, “Know Thyself, Other Peoples and God,” ho warned, “little learn ing is a dangerous thing.” He t«ld the audience that it is quite alrigjit ’ to be well versed in the sciences, art, literature and history, but without a clear understanding of one’s self, his strong points and weak ones, a person can be seriously handi capped and become a faiilure. “We have a long way to go to understand other peoples," he said, “and this is borne out by developments at Little Kock, Tuskegee, Ivcvittown and the like." “The same nation,” he said in referring to Russia, “which vetoed God at the opening session is the same which has prevented peace for Europe and the*"world.” TOR YOUR CHURCH All YOU HAVE TO DO IS BUY FROM MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN The Carolina Times PHONES: 2-7071 - 5-6718 HUDSON WELL CO.
