Meeting a need
■M
Schools now are getting away from the
idea that everyone should go to college and
the space-age notion that there is no place left
in the labor market for the blue collar worker.
The idea now, and it's a sound one, is that
it takes a certain number of plumbers, paint-
ers, bricklayers, electricians, truck drivers,
laborers, butchers and other tradesmen to
fill the labor market.
Not too many years ago, these were poor
paying jobs but that isn't true any more. The
shortage of qualified people to do the jobs and
labor organizations have pushed the pay scale
up until in many cases it exceeds the pay for
white collar work available to the college man
who graduated with nothing more than a lib-
eral arts education and no specialized prepara-
tion to go to work.
The Atlanta school in neighboring Cass
county is now considering a plan that would
be beneficial to the student who is better
suited to work with his hands than to put to
good use a liberal arts education.
The plan there is to have businesses in
Atlanta offer apprentice-type jobs to students
of the high school. At the same time, the stu-
dents in the program would take courses in
school relating to the job.
The Naples area has for years been hamp-
ered by a shortage of most tradesmen and de-
pends much too frequently on those from oth-
er areas to come in and do the work.
A business here who needs a skilled
employee must recruit from another area and
frequently the man they can hire is the one
who has been a failure somewhere else.
The trade program under consideration
now at Atlanta would lessen the problem since
students who learn their trade at home nor-
mally would prefer to practice it here.
Civic organizations at Naples and Omaha,
interested in the future of the area, might do
well to give the apprentice program serious
consideration and come up with a workable
plan in cooperation with Pewitt school. The
starting place logically would be to determine
how many businesses would train apprentices,
how much time they could devote to training,
and how much they'd pay the student during
the learning process.
With that information, the school then
could explain the offer to students and fit in-
terested students to the jobs.
Both the area and the youngsters who
will eventually follow a trade would be bene-
fitted.

Who's Oppressed Now ?
SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Claims he's found out what
Russia's new weapon is
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm claims he
knows what Russia's new
weapon is.)
Dear editar:
As I understand it, Mr.
Khrushchev has announced
Russia has invented a mon-
ster weapon which can wipe
mankind off the earth, and
the experts are now debating
whether he's telling the truth
or not «nd if he is, what is
it?
One set of scientists claims
he's just bragging, but they
may be the set who said the
same thing back when Rus-
sia launched the world's first
satellite. Another claims he
may be right, and that the
monster could be a new im-
provement on the hydrogen
bomb, this one so powerful it
could split the earth in half
right down the middle and
then scatter the parts around
the universe.
I have decided they're both
wrong. Russia has invented a
weapon that could wipe man

off the earth, but it's not a
bomb. It's the Russian farm-
ing system.
For thirty years now, the
Russians have been working
on a farming system which is
designed to end man's life on
this earth, and while they've
got it functioning along this
line in Russia, they haven't
been very successful in their
efforts to spread it to other
countries, excusing maybe
Cuba. Cuba has tried it out
and it works, the more you
use the system the less you
have to eat. But it hasn't
caught on yet in other coun-
tries.
The Russian farming sys-
tem is based on the well-
known human fact that a man
will keep worse care of a
state-owned tractor than he
will his own, a piece of bor-
rowed equipment gets less at-
tention than one you paid for
yourself, that a rented house
runs down faster than one
you own yourself. A man is
never as interested in the oil
level of a rented car as he is
in his own. How many people
in a public bus ever wonder-
ed if the oil was getting low?
It is this universal trait
which the Russians have hit
upon to guaran eo a short
crop every year.
I could go on but I've got to
stop now and return a neigh-
bor's trailer before that low
tire on it gets so low it blows
gut.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
