DM lD at hm Recreation or Berries? Raspberry and Cherry Growers are frantic their fruit is dropping on the ground for want of pickers. About 50 growers with trucks waited at the corner of the F. k M. Bank in Provo the other morning and among them all only a dozen pickers were divided. The situation is acute, they said, and some talk was heard of petitioning the Governor for aid in some form. The berry and cherry crops are of short duration. They must be picked when they should be picked or heavy loss faces the growers. In contrast with this situation, they point out, our schools and municipalities are running full blast a recreational program which is so attractive to the youth that berry picking, even at good recreation is pay, has nothing to offer. being accused of interfering with work experience which every youngster should have in order to appreciate the value of a dollar, and be able to evaluate what it takes for the country at large to supply such a fine program. Until recently T. W. Dyches, coordinator for Provo city schools, devoted considerable time and effort toward finding pickers for the strawberry crop, and was quite successful Information from-thReemployment office in Provo indicates that Mr. Dyches was doing this entirely on his own responsibility as a gratuitous service to the community, and had not been paid by the State office. Since he discontinued this service the situation has become increasingly urgent, although the Reemployment Service has done everything itoMsible to obtain pickers at the call of the growers. Growers are demanding some drastic action lie taken by someone in authority, possibly as high up as the governor himself, to postpone this recreation activity, thus giving work experience fur the youngsters at least an even break with play exierience. It just isnt good Americanism to waste a seasons fruit crop, or to waste anjr type of food for that matter, while the world starves. This waste is going on largely because too many people are too interested in playing around to go out and do a days honest labor, according to comments heard from the Growers. Tax-support- ed e We have no complaint against our recreation program. It is a wonderful opixirtunity for thousands of youngsters in many communities throughout the country. We remember, however, the words of the Wise Man, who said something like this : There is a time for everything: a time to sow and a time to reap". America is facing an emergency. Now is an excellent time for every youngster to learn to do useful things. It is not the time for unnecessary losses to be imposed upon the taxpayer who is already hard pressed to meet demands of Defense preparations. Most people will sympathize with the berry growers who feel that this loss could be avoided by a postponement of recreation activities till the berry crop is harvested. 100,000 Dead? PICKED IN UP PASSING RICHARD DAVIES, former Prorosn, s sos of Mr. and Mrs. Vera E. Dories of Provo, is here oa raeaUoa prior to hi serea-reeon tract, enssglns recently ilgned, with Universal He has Studios at Hollywood. Wi in the motion pietnre bnsi-nefor the past seven years. sr m a CIVIL SERVICE Ef UTAH was extended (Jaly 1) to nil clerical and stenographic positions on the Selective Service local boards. All such appointments after that date must conform to Civil Service rules and America is due to suffer 100,000 persons dead dur1941 from an all high accident record, according to ing reports just compiled by the American Red Cross and sent to Its workers, seeking an extended program ahd death toll now organization to care for this looming before the nation. This compares unfavorably with the casualties of the European war death lists, and yet America is not actually in the war, but we are killing people off at a greater rate. Americans everywhere are likewise disturbed about delay in Defense production due to strikes, yet accidents in industry resulting in temporary, disabling injury to workmen caused four times as great loss of time as the time lost by strikes. This does not take into account the fatalities and permanent disabilities resulting from industrial accidents, which caused an additional loss of manpower more than 20 times as great as strike loss. Neither does it take into account the fact that accidents v are exacting a tremendous toll of death and injury on the Nations streets and highways, in its homes and on its farms wherever people live and work and play and travel. These accidents in the aggregate will reach the disastrous total this year of 100,000 dead, with a corresponding amount of suffering and industrial loss. The national consciousness must somehow be aroused to the appalling price we are paying for carelessness. Strikes are voluntary, and we deplore the economic loss they cause. Accidents, though not voluntary, are mostly needless and are almost always preventable. America must become conscious of the national menace which is upon us, a menace which enters our homes, is found upon our highways, at resorts and in recreation centers, in training camps, offices, stores, and factories throughout the whole country. The Red Cross is leading in this training and organization for preventing accidents, but citizenship cooperation is needed now and always. HUGH O.
