I have heard a good deal of
complaint about rural school
teachers - their attitude, their
ways and means, and how they
conduct themselves. The very
best any of them can do in a
monetary way in these parts is
to earn a bare living wage.
When the teacher is RESPONSE

pendents, such earnings don't
call for fine clothes, the height
of style, the best of housing
conditions or a new car every
year.
I am satisfied that too many
dollars go into the building up
of ideas, that is education, to
be at all proportionate with
present salaries. So there is un-
happiness. AS far as the me to

teachers is concerned, if we
farmers don't put our pest shoe

the teacher to do so.

good wage and see if the i'm

~ JAMES PREsTow

Genesis in the Old Testament
may have a 1889 counterpart in
Washington.
The Biblical story concerns an
lever normal granary" system
put into operation by Joseph to
feed Pharoah'S people during
seven years of drought. The
modern version is basically the
same but administration econo-
mists, unblushingly, have I'M
proved" and expanded the idea.
Joseph, so the story goes,
dreamed of seven fat cows and
seven lean cows. In the dream,
the lean cows ate the fat cows.
To Joseph this foretold seven
years of plenty followed by sew
en- years of drought. Accordingly,
he stored grain SURPRISES during
the seven bumper crop years
and thus had food for the people
of Egypt in the seven lean years.
Whether a dream plays any
part in the 1889 version isn't
known, but the idea is the same.
However, things that Joseph
never dreamed of are included
in the proposed storage scheme
steel, radios and automobiles
included.
Author of the modern coun-
terpart is an Agriculture Depart
ment economist. His plan is a6-
vocated in a book he recently
completed and which has Just
been published. If put into OPP
Grafton, his proposal would set
in advance the amount of goods
ON farm or in factory-that
would be produced each year.
Each producer would be assigned
a quota" as his share of bust
ness, and Surpluses would be
stored for future demands.
The author says his plan is
not to be considered as repre-
senting the official views of the
administration. However, the
book was published with the
knowledge and consent of the
Agriculture Department.
The subject of SURPRISES, Incl
dentally is still a troublesome
one in the Capital City. Even
without the planned SURPRISES"
idea Just mentioned in opera
ton, the government is having
a difficult time with SURPRISES
already in existence.
Now, therefore, a new twist
to the much talked 1.-TWO price
plan" is being considered in
official circles. The idea is to
keep the price level up for the
American consumer, but throw
SURPRISES into the foreign mar
ket on a pay-us-what-you-want
TO basis.
The state of uneasiness that:
has prevailed in the radio
broadcasting industry over ap-
parents plans for greater gov
eminent control Of radio, is
spreading to other quarters-in
and out of Washington.
Latest scare" is the legiSlat-
i've proposal to reorganize the
Federal Communications Com
mission and make on man vir-
tual director of the radio waves.
The proposal probably would
not have caused so much ex-
element had it not been pre-
coded by a widely published
magazine article making several
startling statements about the
motive behind reorganization of
the FEC. In a nut shell, the
story declared bluntly that the
aim was eventual government
operation or supervision of all
radio stations and programs.
New quarters now showing
concern include publishers anc
political groups. Some publish
erS are letting it be known they

After marry months of re-
search, WPA has completed a
study of agricultural unemploy-
ment and chronological develop
ment of farm implements. The
findings shed interesting light
on the questions, do machines
kill jobs or create more jobs?'
Here is what the study dis
closed: Although about l bill
lion man-hours of labor per
year have been displaced on the
farm by adoption Of the tractor,
truck and automobile, more
than a billion man-hourS of
work have been created in the
manufacture, maintenance and
service of these machine age
creations.
In addition to the favorable
balance in work created, the
study showed that about IS mil
lion acres of farm land prev
iously necessary for pasture or
feeding of horses have been re-
leased for production of more
crops.
