I feel that it is a serious and inexcusable omission that this broadcast does not give credit for the progress that has been made in recent years. namely. in housing facilities. the adoption of more modern laws by the States. valiant efforts made by local authorities. the uptrend in the farm wage rates. and other very important factors. Failure to cite these improvements gives false impressions. The opening scene is what this show calls a shapeup for migrant workers in Florida and the opening comment is: "This is the way the humans who harvest the food for the best fed people in the world get hired." Then. one farmer looks at this and says. "We used to own our slaves. Now we just rent them." Now. in the first place in these days. only a very few people are hired through the procedure just described. so it is not at all typical. In the second place. under the circumstances involved in this particular situation. how else can harvest workers be employed. that is. particularly when many farmers need only a few workers or need help for only a few days and many persons are seeking such employment?
