WORK FOR EVERYBODY
BIZ VICTOR MEEKINS

The continuing building activity
on the Dare Beaches means a lot
for workers living on Roanoke Is
land. Just about every carpenter
or laborer who wants to work is
now on a job that will tie him up
the whole fall. The other day l
was looking for a good carpenter
and inquiring around. l learned
that many of our Roanoke Island
carpenters are working up the
beach, some 20 or 80 miles from
home, going back and forth in
their cars each night and morning.
They work eight hours day for
SIPS to $1.50 per hour. They drive
to work in 80 minutes.
Some 80 years ago l was out of
a job one spring, and along with
several other fellows from Roa-
noke Island, got job rebuilding a
wharf on Mays Head soundside for
M. G. Hollowell. l got up at four
o'clock in the morning, walked
two miles across Roanoke Island
in the dark, got aboard a gas boat
after embarking first in a small
skiff, and we were across the sound
to Mays Head wharf.
I spent two hours getting on the
job, we went to work at seven, and
we worked ten hours, and it took
another two hours to get back
home. We got $3.50 for a working
day that consumed IA hours in all,
and we were glad of it, although it
was pretty hard work.
Back in those days folks were
asking for work; now they are
asking how much are you paying.
It is often now that when an ordi-
nary laborer promises to come to
work the following morning, he
may not appear at all, even
though you have impressed upon
him that another man will be there
to help him, and without the two,
neither can work. Chances are he
will show up next day, as if that
is just as good.
Cost of living has gone up, but
store prices have not risen as high
as the cost of labor. Fifteen years
ago the best of carpenters in this
locality were getting 40 cents an
hour, and laborers a dollar a day.
Laborers are now getting 80 cents
and a dollar an hour.
The plight of the working man
is not that the income received
won't buy as much or more of
everything he used to get, but that
the standard of living has risen,
and he now must pay for so many
more things he didn't use to buy.
He has more comforts than ever
before, and if he didn't it would be
tough living.
Twenty five years ago, movies,

tinted shells are so lovely IN them
selves that you'll just want to put
them on the bric-a-brac shelf.
They'll become conversation pieces
that never let you down. For people
can't resist picking up a shell. It
must remind them of all the happy,
sunny places they've seen them. =
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1951-09-14

radios, electric retrlgeratorS, inner
spring beds, automobiles, and
many other things were enjoyed
by only an occasional person. Many
other things such as television
were unknown. Few families car
ried insurance policies costing a
definite sum each month.
To pay for all these things, a
man is wrapped up in numerous in
stallment payments.
If he were buying only the
things he bought 25 years ago, he
would have plenty of money left
over. But he is now buying so many
more things. The majority have
better homes, more comfortable
surroundings, and maybe more
debts and worries about them. But
after all, we are much better off,
for if anyone remembers, we wor-
ried just as much then-money was
scarce, jobs were scare, nobody
had much.
To me, it has always seemed that
the small communities, say 25 to
rs homes, in the days of my youth
were the finest places in the world.
They were not so large that every
one didn't know and understand
everything about everybody else.
They knew who was really in need,
and who was not in need. Hence
they were able to dispense help
where needed, and censure where
it belonged. The one had an en-
nobling and happy outcome and ex-
ample for the whole community.
The other tended to keep down
chiseling and "gold-bricking."
To my mind, the small commun-
tiles were the salt of the earth, the
back-b bone of our county, our state
and nation. More great men per
capita have developed from the
small communities, because they
sprang from good soil and whole
some atmosphere, the product Of
moral influences and wholesome
habits of industry, thrift, and char
liable impulses.
The small communities are rap
idly disentegrating. Consolidation
of schools has been the germ which
has first undermined them so that
in weakened condition have fin
ally succumbed to lesser misfor-
tunes they might have otherwise
easily brushed aside.
Take any small community you
know of that began losing its
school in the past quarter-century.
1t was the one thing in which all
the people of the community, re-
CARELESS of religious or other diff
ferences might intellectually sup
port; because it meant so much to
all the children of all the homes.
They have traded off these schools,
but they made a bad trade. Schools
are not made of brick and stone
and steel, and professional degree
seekers hony for high-sounding tit
les and big jobs. Schools are made
from the pride, the love, and the
jealous interest of the patrons,
They are motivated by the COM
bined heart beats of a community.
Take any of these small COM
munities l have mentioned, which
to my mind are the salt of the
earth, and you can readily see that
its disintegration began the day
they took the school away from the
little ones. Residents began to
leave one by one. Others failed to
come to take their places. Soon
