.Cajun Pat And Mike" Caught Up
In Louisiana industrial Splurge
BY EDMOND LIE RREToN
APP Newsfsafures

Lake Charles. La. - Maybe
Telesphore is staying down by
the bayou, put Onezime's 60
ing to town for keeps.
Telesphore and Onezime are
the Pat and Mike of Louisiana
Cajun stories. The real life sto-
ry in which the past few years
have cast them is that of a
speeded-up industrial revolu-
ton coming to a placid coast
that Jagged far behind history
If Onezime is putting on a
factory workers shiny safety
hat today it's because of a push
and a pull to the city. In less
than ten years meehanization
of the rice harvest has displaced
at least two-thirds of the agri-
cultural labor of the rice belt
and new sugar cane harvesters
have worked almost as great a
change in their field. But in
about the same time new indus
trial plants-$l33 900 900 worth
in the Lake Charles area alone
were providentially opening
up jobs by the thousands.
Today, in a factory making
gasoline or lubrieating oil or
rubber or industrial chemicals
for the whole country. Onezime
may be chatting in French with
a neighbor who grew up on the
next farm.
Machine Invasion
The fuli-stride machine inva-
sion is only the latest of the
onslaughts on the Evangeline
country's long isolation. When
the handful of French Canadi-
ans expelled from Nova Scotia
came in 1865. the only access
to the country was by dim. slow
waterways. Railroads reached
some centers during the last
century. Roads followed. espe-
cislly in the l920's. English
speaking settlers from the At
lantic seabosrd made Lake
Charles an island in the Aca-
dian French country and other
similar towns, populated by
midwesterners. grew up later
as the rice industry expanded.
Multiplying schools did their
slow work.
So in many ways the gentle
coast, still overwhelmingly de-
voted to farming, trapping and
fishing, vas ripe for the indus
trial Transformation that start
ed in the 1905 and was vastly
speeded by World War II.
Today the half million de-
scendants of Evangeline's wan
derers - as well as their blood
neighbors from Iowa, the Da-
kotas and all points of the COM
pass-have their choice of OPP
portunities. They can, without
leaving their native region, be
educated through college. Tel
esphore can stay on the bayou
bank and find plenty of musk
rat to catch. He can keep on
farming rice, though this now
takes more capital and bust

all that is what you did when
you won her the first time. Try
and be as consideraic Of her now
as you were then. When you
married her you promised to for
sake all others-that means that
you put her above all others when
you put anything else ahead of
her happiness, you are unfaithful
TO her. You can get away with
this until someone comes along
who will PUT her first-then you
lose OUT. This is apparently what
happened to your marriage.
You definitely have claim on

marriage, she can still be won
again. So go to it and good luck
