Food Appeal

The Rev. A. E. Setness, pastor
Of Zion Lutheran church in Fair
view will serve as county chair
man for the All Lutheran Food
Appeal in 1855. The appeal will
be conducted here during the time
of the wheat harvest when vol
unteer truck drivers will visit
their farm neighbors for gifts of
food. The food will be shipped
to famished persons in Asia and
Europe where it will be distri-
buted through church channels
to the most needy without regard
for race or creed.
The All Lutheran Food Appeal
is sponsored by Lutheran World
Relief, material aid agency of
the National Lutheran Council,
with the cooperation of the Board
of World Relief of the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod. It is a
program in which farmers are
asked to give from the fruit Of
their fields to help the needy in
hunger areas of the world.
This year the appeal is being
conducted in II agricultural
states for wheat, shelled corn and
beans. During 1854 farmers from
the 'bread basket" states con-
tributed food valued at more than
$650,000 when 181 carloads were
given. The need for food is more
critical in some areas than it
has been at any time during the
past decade.

This objective would not be achiev-
ed if all workers received the same
flat amount. If flat amount were
based on the earnings of higher
paid workers, Or even the average
for the entire plant, then the lower
paid workers would enjoy better
living standards when laid off than
they had while at work. To demand
this would put our Union in an
untenable position. On the other
hand, if the flat amount were
based on the earnings of the work
er tle lower paid workers, then
the higher paid workers would not
have the same standard of living
while on layoffs as they had while
at work.
Holiday pay, and in most plants
vacation pay, are determined on
the basis of hourly wage rates or
earnings. Guaranteed wage pay
mentS will be determined on the
same basis.
Gn last weeks column we at
tempted to explain the reasons an
exact amount in guarantee pay
ment cannot be stated. Since any
unemployment compensation you
receive is figured in and reduces
the amount of guarantee payment
we explained how you would be
paying less in taxes. In our eX-
ample we showed what would hap
pen if the tax factor was not con-
sidered. From this some of you
may easily have gotten the idea
that you might be receiving more
while laid off than you did while
working. This would be true except
that in our plan the tax factor
will be taken into account in de-
termining the amount of your
same standard of living but you
will not receive more than your
regular take-home-pay)
