Plan now T to participate on jjthis important date. MINIMUM WAGE BILL We hear a lot of discussion about the minimum wage law for farm workers to become ef fective February 1, 1967. On this date the minimum wage for farm workers on covered farms ' will be $1 per hour. A year later, on February 1, 1968, the minimum wage increases to : $1.15 and finally up to $1.30 ; per hqur oh February 1, 1969. j The new minimum wage law ! will not affect all farm work ers. Only on those farms where 500 or more man-days of labor were employed during any quarter of the preceding calen dar year will this law become effective. This means that a farmer would need to have em ployed around seven full-time workers during at least one calendar quarter of the previous year. Thus at the beginning of the new minimum wage law, not too many of our Newberry County farmers will come un der its provisions. We predict, however, that all farmers who employ labor will be affected Mainly to these extents: Farm ers will have to keep more de tailed labor account records in order-to prove they are not sub ject to the law. More import ant will be that competent farm labor will simply not be avail able at these minimum wage rates. Looks like in addition to un favorable weather, insect and disease outbreaks, and rising costs of production, the farmer will; haver r«ne more burden to overcome Aext year. DAIRY FARMERS Attend the annual dairy Field Day Program to be held Wed nesday, November 30, at the Saluda County Agricultural building. Actually, it’ll be tin indoor meeting, so come rain or shine! Each yeaF 5 Clemson’s Dairy Department sponsors these meetings to bring dairy farm ers up to date on practical mat ters of feeding, breeding and management. You’ll learn new ideas in feeding, also something about producing quality milk and hear how dairying is done ouT on the West coast. Also, there’ll be opportunity to ask any questions you might have about dairy farming in general. In case you can’t attend the Saluda meeting on November 30, there will be two others of the same type—one at Chester on November 29 and the other Grant approved for local youth corps A Neighborhood Youth Corp ! (NYC) project has been ap proved and issued its Grant I Number from the Atlanta Of fice of NYC. Within a matter of days a wire is anticipated from the U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C., an nouncing the release of funds. Thus, the project is slated to begin jointly throughout New berry and Saluda counties pending action from Washing ton. The local OEO office under the directorship of Mrs. Mable D. Carter and Mrs. Sandra S. Turner, Research Technician filed application for the NYC project less than two months ago. Mrs. Carter states this is only one of the several projects up for approval for the two counties which their office has submitted applications for and which they hope to eventually get started in the all out war against poverty in the two counties. The NYC is a project design ed to employ underemployed and unemployed youngsters in the age bracket of 16-21 years for part-time jobs. These youngsters must come from a family with a yearly income of $3,000.00 plus $500.00 for each additional child. Basically, the project consists of three phases: In-School, Out- of-School, and Summer. Young sters enrolled in school can av erage 10 hours -of work per week, during the school day, af ter school and/or Saturdays. Average pay is approximate ly $12.50 per week. The Out- of-School and' Sumnier phases allow youngsters to?*, make an average of 25 hours per week, earnings. This sole project will employ a staff of 12 mem bers whose salaries will range from $8528.00 to $3600.00 per year, excluding travel and fringe benefits. Mrs. Carter’s office is receiv ing and screen applications and applicants for the twelve posi tions, but will be directly as sisted from the Atlanta NYC office in finalizing the hiring of the director for this project. The Neighborhood Policy Ad visory Committees drawn from the traget areas are coordinat ing all efforts in' reaching eli gible youngsters and informing the general public of this and Monday service for Mrs. Counts Mrs. Frances Felker Counts, 61, died Saturday night at the Baptist Hospital in Columbia.
