TYIoaHi^ About You By Ke.n7 ^o!!rr.an A LIVING WAGE? We all have been doing a lot of reading lately about the new North Carolina min imum wage. Naturally, a 75 cent minimum wage is not enough tor anyone to be able to live on. Now, I do not say that the people who now have to pay a mini mum of 75 cents can af ford to pay a higher wage until we, the people, are willing to pay more for certain services. But we must remember some thing very basic and some thing very fundamental : When the federal minimum wage was first introduced and then gradually raised, there went up a 1 \i to high heaven that business all over our nation would come to a complete standstill, that prof 1960 Plymouth Belvedere 4 dr., automatic trans mission, heater, white wall tires.

Va., to attend a "Week of Fellowship" sponsored by the Koinonia Foundation of Baltimore, Md. its would be a thin# of the pi\st, that everybody would be unemployed very soon. As always, when these prophets of doom yell the loudest, the opposite has been true. More people are working for a liv ing. We have more over-all prosperity than we ever had. Profits in most industries are better than they have ever been. To get some people used to a change, obviously, is much harder than to teach them to learn to dance on a tight rope. But in a free so ciety, people must have the privilege to raise all kinds of fuss against any changes, even though the motives are always purely selfish. Many people have not as yet reached the point where they understand that happi ness multiplies as we divide it with" others and the same is true with money ? that also multiplies if one spreads it and shares it more evenly with others. If 1 would own a laundry, I would pay high er wages than what my com petitors do now, and I would hang a sign outside my shop telling the people that my 5 or 8 employees have to pay the same prices for groceries as the workers who work in a big company ; that my 5 or 8 employees have to eat at least twice a day and have to clothe and feed their chil dren, and that they can't do it unless I pay them at least $1.25 an hour; that, there fore, starting tomorrow morn ing the prices for cleaning shirts and bed sheets will go up to 25c each. Do you know what would happen? I would get more traffic than I could handle, and I would have to hire another eight employees to come and take care of all the customers who want their pillow cases and underwear washed in a place where peo ple get a living wage. And if I would own a res taurant, I would just charge one cent, or two cents more for a cup of coffee, and 25c more for the steak, and tell the customers that my wait resses and the cooks cannot very well live on love alone, they have to pay also for food, shelter and clothing.
