LYNDEN BOYS WORK IN GRAIN
FIELDS OF ALBERTA, CANADA

Wendell Bloom is now working in
the harvest fields of Alberta, l50
miles north of Calgary, according to
word received from him this week
by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Bloom.
He and his brother Homer receive
$500 a day and board Wendell is
studying the operation OF the trac-
tors which are used to pull the huge
combine harvesters, and expects to
get job running one before the sea
son is over. From $1,000 to $500
day is paid for this work. Help is
scarce, says Bloom, and the men are
exceptionally well treated as they are
hard to get and the crops must be
harvested.
Bloom worked in a copper mine in
Idaho for some time during the early
part OF the summer. He plans to en-
ter an electrical engineering school
when the harvest season is over.
