U ■ CO, Ha XH/n BUKN/HO UAW OK TKACH, K ■ new: UAve /r o-vATTtweo-fva for H A H<M£hT' Wage-Hour Act Washington’s Wage- Hour Act won’t be the “booger” to Georgia tobacco farmers it had appeared to be when passed. Agricultural exemp tions, signed by the President, have watered it down so that only the largest farm opera tions — those employing seven or eight full-time wage hands — will be affected. Only farmers who used more than 500 “man-days” of labor in three months’ time of last year will have to comply with the labor law. As defined by the U. S. Department of Labor, a “man-day” is a day in which a farm hand works for not less than one hour. Per Quarter-Year (or in the three month period), one man could work (in a five-and-a-half-day week) 22 to 24 days a month, which is 72 “man-days” per quarter. A worker will not be cov ered if he is a member of the farmer’s family or if he is hired at a piece-work rate, commutes to the farm, and worked less than 13 weeks in agriculture last year This provision will leave out those who are used for short peak labor periods such as putting in tobacco or picking produce. Only about l-% per cent of all farms will come under the Wage-Hour Act and some 12-% per cent of the nation’s farm hands. One-third of these will be migratory farm work ers. For those relatively few farm workers who will be under the minimum wage law, the hourly scale is to be SI.OO an hour the first year, $1.15 an hour the second year and $1.30 an hour at the beginning of the third year. No over time provisions were written into the law for farm workers. Sgt Marshall Jerome King Awarded Bronze Star for Heroism in Vietnam Sergeant Marshall Jerome King, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo L.
