Minimum Wage
Some politicians consider proposed federal
legislation to boost the minimum wage a sure way to
win votes, even though such raises may increase
unemployment by pricing less skilled workers out of
the labor market.
The action last month of the U.S. Senate Labor
Committee to raise the basic minimum wage from
$1.60 to $2.20 an hour can have an adverse affect on
the number of jobs available for our young people
just out of high school.
It can also cause consumer prices to increase as
the wage rates are applied to the cost of production.
According to a noted business economist at the
University of Chicago, "The major group suffering
unemployment as a consequence of the minimum
wage are minority teenagers. Their unemployment
numbers have gone up each time the minimum wage
was increased."
Such increases also destroy opportunities for
relveant job education for youths because of
diminished beginning job opportunities for
teenagers. These are the jobs in which teenagers
normally acquire the skills which make them more
productive and enable them to progress to jobs
where they earn far more than the minimum.
It just doesn't seem to make much sense to
appropriate millions for job training and summer
jobs for disadvantaged youths while politicians push
for minimum wage increase. Also, this comes at a
time when the government is working to stop in
flation and the general public is deeply concerned
about consumer prices.
Farmers "Dropping Out"
Farmers have the record of the most productive
group of citizens in the land, but their numbers
continue to dwindle.
An hour of farm labor currently produces around
seven times the food and crops as it did in 1919-21. In
the 1960's, productivity of the American farm
worker increased on the average of 6 per cent a
year compared to a 3 per cent average annual
increase in output per man-hour in non-agricultural
industry.
Today, one farm worker produces enough food,
fiber and other farm commodities to supply himself
and 47 other people! He supplied 23 in 1957-59.
But many farmers are dropping out. They're
retiring with nobody taking over for them or
they're just quitting to find more lucrative oc
cupations. The migration away from the land has
been going on since before the turn of the century, so
that there are less than half the number of farms
today as there were then.
Even with present high farming efficiency and
productivity, the number of farms and farm
population will continue to shrink even further.
Although some large corporate farms may be able to
handle part of our future agricultural production,
the traditional family farm will continue to be the
backbone of American agriculture.
It is, therefore, urgent that our remaining farmers
be allowed to share proprotionately in the fruits of
their labors. The increase in food prices has helped
the farmer very little, if any, out of his tightening
"cost-price squeeze."
Letters
Dear Editor:
I would like to bring to public
attention the notice of a bearing
of Western Carolina Telephone
Company before the North
Carolina Utilities Commission
on June and 30, at 9 a.m. at
the Buncombe County Court
Room. We customers of the
WeaverviUe exchange received
notices of this bearing in
February, along with the
company's proposed rate ta
ll you misplaced your notice
or forgot the date, perhaps
these comparative rates with
our Mighboring county will
shake yoa into gear to get to the
WeaverviUe " Exchange,
present rates residence private
phone: $7.65, two-party: $ftJ9,
our party: $3.35; Proposed
Rates private phone:' $12.15,
two-party:. $11.50, four party;
$12.25, Southern Bell: Present
Private phone: $5.15, two-!
psrty: $4.64, four party:
These Southern BeO rates are
uuoUng Aslttville and Ante
To Editor
exchanges. Rates for Black
Mountain, Enka, Fairview and
Leicester are even lower.
Business phones are likewise
comparative.
We moved to the Jupiter area
in 1966 and it took three years
and a hearing with the State
Utilities Commission to even
get a phone from Western
Carolina Telephone Company.
So you ate, their services don't
match their rates.
If you feel these rates are
outrageous, as we do, and have
had service problems, you had
better make them known at the
hearing. Maybe we can show
the S.U.C that W.C.T.C. should
lower present rates instead of
increasing them.
We have been advised mat
petitions, form letters, etc, art
generally ignored, and the most
effective way to complain or
protest m your presence at
Superior Court Roan, Bun
combe County Court Bouse on
June and June 30. "

The day broke sunny and
beautiful but by the time we
were halfway to Linvllle there
were stone grey skies above,
wet, shiny black pavement
below and gallon buckets of rain
sandwiched in between. Tania
Rollman, my field advisor, and
I were headed toward Unville
Falls to a Scamper Day for girls
from Avery County. We arrived
at the spot to find the girls were,
despite a motto "B prepared,"
quite unprepared for the
raindrops falling on their heads.
Tania and I with Hefty Plastic
Trashcan bags at hand
proceeded to create raincoats
that would have put "London
Fog Raincoats" to shame. They
kept the girls very dry the time
they were there and because of
the weather the girls left very
shortly thereafter. One of my
first lessons as a temporary
Girl Scout was that one uses

I guess by this time you are
wondering who I am and what I
am up to. My name Is Donna
Vaughn and I am a recent
graduate of Mars Hill College
with a degree in Elementary
Education. I did my student
teaching at Walnut School with
Ruth Guthrie's first grade and
have tutored in Sodom. My
parents live in Burlington but I
feel as though Madison County
is my home. This summer I am
involved in an internship, with
the Girl Scouts here In Madison
County. My job Is to interest
adults and girls ages 7 to 17 in
Girl Scouting. Never being a
Girl Scout myself, I am afraid
that I was not really aware of
what it meant to be a Scout. I
am learning more about it
everyday and realizing what a
truly wonderful organization
this is for girls. For instance, I
had never been camping before
two weeks ago. In the week that
I was with the Day Camp in
Banner Elk I learned how to
build a fire the Scout way, pitch
a tent, cook on an open fire,
make all sorts of beautiful
things out of simple gifts from
nature and scores of other
things (including five loads of
laundry to do when I arrived
home but it was worth it). The
relationships built with other
girls during this time will last a
lifetime and the experiences
will make for many happy
memories in days to come. If
you are not a Scout and are
interested or if you are an adult
and think you would like to work
with Scouts, please get in
contact with me at the following
address: Donna Vaughn, Box
187-C, Mars Hill 28754. I am
hoping to hear from you soon!
Meanwhile stay tuned next
week for another exciting ad
venture in the wild, wonderful
world of scouting!
P S. A very special Hi! to my
first graders at Walnut.
