Farmers Pay
More For Hire

Wages paid hired help on farms
increased 6 percent in 1852 while
the number of people working on
farms declined about 100000, says
an extension economist at Ohio
State University.
Margaret Mcdonald says the
number of farm workers dropped
to 9.8 million people in 1852, low
est number on record since 1910.
Worker numbers probably will
continue to decline in 1853. Miss
Mcdonald blames increased in
dustrial wages and the armed
forces as principal causes of this
decline.
Wages paid to hired farm help
increased to record high last
year. The average farm wage rate
in 1852 was $3.50 per week with
out board or room.

U. N. Fighters Aid
Korean Children

SEOUL-United Nations Sol
diers in Korea-the products OF
varied cultures-have proved that
compassion has no nationality
Their generosity has given new
hope to many war-mutilated Ko-
rean children.
UN soldiers of at least 13 na-
tions have Clipped in with part OF
their pay to help provide medical
treatment and rehabilitation for
Korean youngsters who bear the
marks of the fighting in their
homeland.
The generosity OF these fight
ing men has built up a fund Of
more than $4,000 in a First
Corps drive to aid the tragic
young victims of Korea.
Thirteen-year-old Chang My.
ong Six was one such victim.
Badly burned by an exploding
shell, he had to have both hands
amputated. Lieutenant General
Paul w. Kendall, Corps Comman-
der, saw Chang while visiting q
Norwegian Mobile Surgical Hos
pital, and the First Corps AInpu-
tee Fund Drive was born.
Kendalrs sympathy for the am
putee victims was shared by SOL
diers, sailors, airmen and marines
of all nations, as they proved by
their ready response to the call
for donations.
Korean members of two Ameri-
can companies unanimously do
mated their entire salaries for one
month-118,700 won (approxi-
mately $20.)
The international flavor of the
fund drive was reflected by the
yield of a contribution box at the
Seoul post exchange-$189.8S in
American military script, Korean
won, and British pound notes.
Raffles, fairs and other stunts
were used to stimulate interest.
In one unit, musical group auc-
toned requests, and plane rides
were offered on regular air cour-
ier fights for other donors.
In one platoon, a donor of $50
got pledge from his pleased COM
pany commander to supply him
with soft drinks as long as the
generous soldier remained in his
command.
In one Army tank company.
contributions averaged $40 per
man.
A 24-hour disc-jockey mara
thon over an American Forces
Korean Network radio station
pulled more than 1,100 phone
calls-and $7,791 in pledges.
Contributions even found their
way over the ocean-the states
vile (N.CD Kiwanis Club sent q
check for $25.
Among U. S. Army units, the
Third Infantry Division led with
S17, ,306.59, while the Second In
fantry Division was runer-up
with S10,991.55.
The First Corps Korean Chill
dren's Amputee Clinic is estab-
lished in Severance Hospital in
Seoul under supervision of a joint
civilian-military committee Trus-
tee for the funds is the National
Council of Churches of Christ in
the United States.
