Rappahannock News, April 16, 1959

RAPPAHANNOCK B, W. H. L,m County Agent Employment and Labor Resources You will mall , last week I stated there wert 6112 people in the county in 1950; at that time 4250 were 15 years of age or older. From this group 2019 were in the so called labor force of which 1942 were employed. ’ From these figures alone, one would naturally think we were in “good shape” from the employment stand point. On the other hand, when the census definitions of “employed”, "unemployed” and laccr rorce are considered, loop holes pop up. For instance: “employed persons compromise all civilians 15 years old or older, who, during the ‘census week’, were either (a) “at work”.those who did any work for pay or profit, or worked without pay fop 15 hours or more on a family fa,tm or in a family business. Certainly anyone who works but 15 hours a week couldn’t be thought of as being gainfully employed in |the general sense even if they were employed for pay. Women, children 14 and up who are not in school, and men could work, and likely | do, a couple hours a day around their homes and be classified as “employed” according to this definition. Whether they wished to be gainfully emi ployed or not is unknown;, my point again_we certainly did not have .96% of the people "in our labor force” who are employed as we normally think of the Jcim. Even if there are /Joop boles’, we'must use census data for consistancy and too, because there are no other statistics to turn to. Of the 1942 persons in “labor force" who were employed during “census week” the job break-down was as follows: Agriculture (men) 1043, Construction 142, Chemical production 74, Retail trade 55, Domestic service 84, ^Agriculture (women) 47, Education service 38, Eating and drinking establishments 25. Thus 1509 are accounti ed for. By projecting the overall rate of population decline we now have 3901 persons 14 years and older. If we assume: all of those 15-19 years df age are in schcjol, that all persons 65 years or older are not available for employment, and allow the "employed” definition to stand as it is, there are! 1322 persons remaining that m.ght be considered as being of an employable age. Within this age 20-64 yrs.) there are 40 people on Welfare (including mothers of dependent children) with an estimated 35 on Social Security which miust also be deducted, leaving 124?j people of employable age beside, those employed in agriculture, construction, retail trade, etc. Among these 1242 persons are included the mothers of our children. There are 1220 families, but lets keep ip mind there are but 650 kids below school age. At two per family it might be assumed that 325 mothers have to stay home with -the babies. Thus there appears to be labor available for industry Without pulling any labor presently employed whether they be working on farms, in your homes, as domestic servants or where. i j Then too, there are 240 farms that harvest less than a total 30 acres of crops. Are these owners gainfully employed; or 2s there potential labor in this group? These (Continued on page Ten) Future Homemakers Celebrate \ In recognition of National FHA 'Week, April 5-11, the F.H.A. members of Rappahannock County High School carried on a special series of activities.

Holmes House Destroyed By Fire Fire raged through the home of Col.

qn< i it ir i ir7r«r RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS 11 PUBLISHED THURSDAY HORNING on, BapH)umo<k County, Virgin!* :Al TBLypHOK^: WASHINGTON 2851 BASIL CL BTlRXS, JR. Mr*. SARAH C. LATHAM. T Editor Entered m Second Cleat Mall at the Poet Office at Washington, Va. SUBSCRIPTION (in advance) -flAO TO THAR YOUR CONGRESSMAN REPORTS B- ke/>. Purr P. Harrison Washington—When we consi- dered, in 1st week’s report, the relationships of authorization hills and appropriation bills to the balancing of the federal budget, we noted that spending Cannot be-con* ' trolled by reducing appropriations if, at the same time authorizations are voted for higher levels of expenditure , , If the Federal Government, pursuant to an authorization act, embarks on a new or expanded program af construction, or provides new or increased benefits! to a segment of the citizenry, the money must be provided to discharge the obligation which have j been assumed. “ . | Another example of the difficul * lies illtiiicill I**'■ of government in such San “openend” program as that, represented by agricultural priced li p p o r t s. President Eisenhower’s budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, •calls for approximately $6.4 billion . for all programs of the Agriculture Department. This includes not on, ly the billions needed fop- price supports, but also the research and administrative functions of the Departments j It is impossible, however, to make a reliable estimate of the cost ' of price-support operations far in advance of the year involved. This is because the law requires that all eligible production of price-supported crops share in the cash benefits. The law states that wheat, for example, shall have ilts price sup’ ported. It does not state that up to 1,000,000 bushels of wheat, and no more, shall be supported. The final figure for nrice-support costs in a given year therefore, depends largely on how Nature co-operates - with the ingenuity an S industry of the American farme j As is well Shown,( ou • present efforts to control .rl i,pluses, include a system ' ' | age controls on so-called . rops. Production impro\ however, have resulted ir !y upward ttend in a ke\ yield per acre. Last year ],’ n farmers produced 11 y- V | nore than ever "before in < >ry on the smallest total -ac j? planted to crops in the last . i. Estimates of p! ? this year include indication-. . jf a 9-per-cent increase in spring-v. eat plant.n - «\er last year a l2-per<e»n :n< ’"se in corn and aj similar bor iii cotton. Whatever it costs to f ipport the prices of new-recor^ < ops will have to be paid, so long :, the present law is on the books. • f die regular appropriation proves i sufficient, Congress cannot rel se to provide a'supplemental apjT.opriation. ^ i . The futility of I our existing price-support and acreage-control systems is pointed up by predictions of a further rise in the surpluses. By next year, just, before 1960 harvest, it is expected thaf there will be on hand, to be carried over into the new crop year,! 1.5 billion busels of wheat..a 68 per-cent increase in the carryover in two years and 2,5 billion bushels of coni. a 70 per-cent increase in the carryrver in the same period. Also expect'd to mount, although at a lower rate, is the cotton surplus^— 10.1 million bales by next year, a 17-per-cent increase in two years. The Federal Government which had $7 billion invested in the surpluses of these three crops at the middle of the last year, will have about $9.1 billion invested by the middle of 1959 and $10.4 billion by the middle ofl960. It is a sad commentary on our failure to develope a workable method of balancing our agricultural economy that, in 30 years, our surpluses have been reduced sharply only in time of d.sasterous drought or war. * The critical question is how long we can afford to invest tax funds at a steadily increasing rate in artifcial controls and price supports which are-of no direct benefit to two out of three of th& Nation s farmers. It is economic irony that budgetary difficulties may force us finally to break away from the hodge-podge of penalties and bonuses which compose our present acreage-allotment and price support system. Ode To Spring Spring has sprung, The grass has riz The ground is covered with snow. The robins sneeze, The apple buds freeze, The north wind puts on a show. The jonquils bloom In the wintry gloom. The lilacs beginning to blush. The kids are out playing Laughing and sleighing, The garden peas peep thru the I slush. Last week in the breeze We went in shirt sleeves To the cleaners, our winter coats sent. Thought spring had broke But twas only a joke For it wasn’t even badly bent. —The Amissvillan .■spaoaoopqwooMPiapnoootaCTO^ I Rapp - Chats - f Fy W. tf.
