MONEY is TO- ALL.
WORKERS NEED
PROTECTION

3IOAGOAA0H
Before our Legislature now
is a bill-No. 1888 : an act to
provide d minimum wage Of
sixty (6O) cents an hour and a
maximum work week Of forty
(4O) hours for workers in the
Islands and for other pur-
poses. Such a Bill should be
well considered before it is
rushed into law, as it may not
be SO easy to amend. It should
be handled with care, lest it
may cause unpleasantness on
either side. The labor wages
in years gone by were han
died between capital and La
Dor with many meetings
b e an agreement
could be reached for a con
tract to be signed by both
parties and recognized by our
Government. Il IS tue That
times have changed, but not
for the worst. Everyone alive
today that is able and willing
to work should earn a decent
pay, which some employers
are paying their workers at
present and because Of that,
the matter should be left for
organization to handle with
the employees.
And our Government could
pass a law 50 the Commits
sioner Of Agriculture and La
Dor gets the increased author
ity over Unions. # the matter
is left between Management
and Labor, an agreement can
be worked out for resident
workers to be given q free
house, etc, land in the absence

THE GOLDEN YEARS
Workshop Provides
New Zest in Life

of bringing old furniture
back to life. I believed a
whole new box Of satiSfac-
tions might be opened by a
new environment, new peo-
pie, 24-hour day freedom,
and any kind of work Of my
own choosing"
The Hunts had taken many
vacations in the Ashville-
Gatlinburg Knoxville area
of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
This, they decided, was the
place to retire to if Mr.. Hunt
could afford it.
They figured they needed
a minimum of 5000 a month.
Since the pension would give
$143 they needed $57 more.
If they sold their house for
$4,000, took $4,000 Of that
and added it to their $4,000
savings, they could net about
$50 a month by investing it
all at 4 per cent.
THE $4,000 left from the
house." says Mr.. Hunt, had
to buy us housing in the
mountains, move us and get
us started in the second
hand furniture business"
1t did-quite neatly. The
Hunts found a small frame
cottage on 4 acres of rocky
ground, located on a high
way, and bought it for 5000.
They traded their sedan for
a truck and moved them
selves for about 500. They
built a furniture workshop
just down the highway from
the cottage for less than
$500.
I'VE got completely set
tied in the new location with
a little over $4,000 in the
bank, plus a cash value on
my life insurance in case of
real trouble"
The Hunts spent their first
six months getting acquaint-
ed. building their workshop,
joining the church, learning
how to get to hospitals and
lawyers. Then they went
into business.
I'VE kept our truck be-
cause our neighbors didn't
really care whether we came
visiting in it or in a limou-
