HATHAWAY I

REPORTS by Congressman William D. Hathaway

The difficulties currently besetting Maine's fishing industry are of the first magnitude and constitute a problem that affects not only the fishermen themselves, l;>ut processors, commercial stores, and the consumer .

The commercial fishing industry bas long been of the utmost importance to the economy of the nation and to Maine in par­ticular. Some 20,000 people in the sta·te depend upon it directly for their livelihood. Some 40 different species of fish and shell­fish are harvested commercially by Maine fishermen. The mar­ket value of the seafoods the industry produces and processes is in excess of $75,000,000 annually.

In recent years the condition of the domestic fishing industry has been steadily worsening as imp·orts have flooded the market and landings of most species have declined. At tP.e same time, prices paid to fishermen have had a netl'increase per pound of only one to three cents, depending on the species of fish in­volved. This small increase in income has been more than offset byincreasesinthecostof living, the costs of vessels, repairs, gear and fuel.

The crisis in the industry ~s been largely precipitated by competition from highly subsidized impor~d fisheries products from Canada and other nations. Not only does the foreign in­dustry have an initial advantage as a result of lower labor and production costs, it also has a far greater advantage resulting from a complete program of direct and indirect governmental subsidies. Canada'sAtlanticCoastfisheries are receiving sub­sidies from both the federal and provincial governments for vessel construction, for plants and equipment, and in some cases, for the fish itself. In addition, less strict government regulations permit Canadian processors to pack fish which could not be packed in our domestic industry. A spokesman for the National Canners Association has estimated that seven out of ten fish products consumed in the United States are imported; and these are largely uninspected. At the same time Maine pro­cessors are required to follow str:ingent inspection rules. This presents an added cost burden not encountered by the foreign competitor.

This crisis in the fishing industry is grave, not only for the state of Maine but for the nation as a whole. The imbalance be­tween fisheries imports and exports is adding substantially to thecriticalproblemofthe dollar drain and bala.nce of payments deficit which is of major concern to the Federal Gov~rnment at this time. This problem can only be 'solved by an import pro­gram that will not adversely affect domes tic fishing industries. Public hearings on this important issue will commence next week before the Trade Information Committee .

THE TAUNT OF CHICKEN- ITS INFLUENCE OVER EASTER In just a few days a great exodus will be taking place. An _ex­

odus from the college campus to select cities for a 'try anythtng' frolics that often end in the vulgarity and viciousness of youth riots. In very recent years more than just college students ~ve taken part in this exodus. Many high school students are gmng along with.the crowd. On the plus side the I~tervarsity Fello;v­ship will be sending out several hundred w1tnesses for Chr1st to mingle with the fun seeking students. Perhaps we know some of these students, if not, •.ve certainly have heard of them. Why do they go? some go because parents feel flattered that their child has been invited to go with others of higher social stand­ing. Some mothers have been known to register a group and promise to be a chaperone but never show up during the week. Some go because they have been taunted, 'You are chicken if you do not go.' We should be eoncerned by the goings on at the beaches for it points to the larger manifestation of immoraJ conduct. The breakdown of discipline in our time is also mani­fested many times over in ruined live~? all over our country. Social seeKing parents wanting to see their children in stridE with others help push youth to their OW? destruction.

"My son, if s inners entice thee, consent thou not." "SurelJ in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird." Proverbs 1: 10,17. Youth should not be taken in by sin and evil suggesti_ons when i.t is so plainly seen and marked out. P eople spend time. and money on thems.elv~s and their cr..ildren for physical.a~l­ments. They are not much concerned, at times, about the splrtt­ual welfare of their flesh and blood. The clear cut warning of what is sin is being painted over so there is doubt and ignorance of right and wrong .. Parents often are doing the erasing.

"This know also , that in the last days perilous times shall come. For .men shall be lovers of their own selves, . •. lovers of pleasures •... " 2 Timothy 3: 1-5. Look at the international situation - that time is here! Look at the national situation -that time is here! Look at the conflict in homes and in the lives of the teenagers - that time is here! Look at the unrest, the im­morality in these gatherings -that time is here!

There is help. We do not need to conform to the masses. Bu't we do need to communicate to our children. Talk to them and have them come to us and to the pastor with their weighty prob­lems. Setting time limits on what can be done means that you love them. They will know it. Many times a division is seen in the family and parents are blamed by children for allowing them to be without limits in dating and social activities .

"Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Being old refers to the age of ac­countibili ty. Parents will have confidence in their children when they are called 'chicken'. They will know they will stand true to the teachings of Christ. "And this I say, lest any man should beguileyouwithenticingwords." Colossians 2:4. The influence of 'chicken' certainlybeguiles some. It will certainly not cause a Christian, rooted in the faith, to stumble.

THE TOWN CRIER Page 7

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following article was provided to us by EASTER THE MAINE TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION. It is an eye opening article well worth r eading. It would seem that altho Maine has its educational problem~ we are in many ways very fortunate.

Two Florida teachers gave Maine a blueprint this week of how not to run a school system. They visited here to explain frus­trationsthatled30, 000 Florida teachers to walk off their jobs, and incidentally to raise funds for their cause among members of the teaching profession in Maine.

Someofthedon'tstheydrew from Florida's experience : don't ask teachers to face classes of 45 and 55 pupils; don't ask them to work from textbooks so outmoded that they treat earth orbits as a remote theoretical possibility; don't ask them to teach on double sessions or in buildings where the roof leaks whenever it rains.

But especially don't tolerate a tax system and a political at­mosphere that starves the schools ao a matter of principle.

This is some of the story told by Robert Davis, a history tea­cher from Fort Walton Beach, and Charles Fellows, a driver education teacher from Marianna, both in the northwest Gulf region of Florida. Neither of them will return to their schools under the punitive condi lions set up by their local s-chool boards and. they are touring the country under the auspices of the Na­tional Education Association to riase funds for the 4, 000 Florida teachers still out of school.

Tiley painted a political background to the crisis that took on a nightmare look to Maine teachers who expect--and in most cases get--a high quality of professional leadership from their superintendents and dedicated concern for education from their school boards. Mr. Davis noted that school superintendents in Florida are elected and at the mercy of often reactionary politi­cal machines. Many school board members are paid enough to make the part time jobs appealing to local political stalwarts , in some cases as much as $300. a month. Schools become a political football, with election to office a major goal.

On top of this come the county millage elections--a method of levying property taxes that requires voters to specify the num­be r of mills they are willing to pay for schools--a reversal of the Maine system which states the needs first and totes up the mills later. Some Florida counties have been willing to vote mills, but many have not. In Bay County last year the citizens chose to vote the millage, which brought about a cut in teachers salaries and a demand that the teachers return money already paid to them under the agreed-on salary schedule . It took a walkout and intervention by the State Superintendent of Schools to straighten out that one.

Mr. Davis noted that in the Fort Walton Beach area the popu­lation has expanded in 30 years from 1, 200 to 30, 000 or 40, 000. Millage votes and state aid have utterly failed to keep up with needs . Mr. Davis' 12year-oldson sits in an English class with 54 other pupils and a young teacher who is too busy keeping or­der to think much about English.

Heavy pressure from the Florida Education Association has brought about improvements in teachers salaries - -as much as $2,170 as a result of two legislative sessions. If the object wa~ to buy the teachers off it failed, because the Florida teachers left their schools after the salary increases wer e already as­sured. The bill didn' t provide the money for smaller classes and better school programs and this was what really counted.

Mr. Davis and Mr . Fellows made it clear that if one thing

MAINE TEACHER'S ASSOCIATION NEWS Cont'd from Page 7 contributed more than another to bringing Florida teachers to the boiling point it was the tax relief to big money interests that was neatly wrapped up in the educational package.

Teachers saw pulp and phosphate interests drawing off mill­ions of the money they had fought so hard for in the name of education.

This was done in the special session by a neat device that limited the number of mills a county could vote for education-­with state aid raised by sales tax money making up the differ­ence. The greatest beneficiaries are the pulp and phosphate interests who hold large tracts of already under taxed land. Tax cutstohomeowners, who benefit from a $5,QOO homestead ex­emption, are small compared to the cuts to business. In all, tax cuts will eat up $77, 000,000 of the so-called "education" package. And the ten milllimitatio!l on local education levies spells trouble for the future unless the next Legislature makes a big jump in state taxes. Since the income tax is forbidden by the Florida constitution that leaves the little man paying a lot of sales tax.

The Florida teachers point out that property taxes are not onerous in Florida. The owner of a home assessed at $18,000 in Daytona Beach will pay $130. in school taxes this year.

The two Florida teachers can barely conceal their scorn for a Governor who promised quality education and no new taxes in the same breath.

Despite the~r knowledge of the situation, Florida teachers were apparently surprised when they left their schools by the ferocity of the counterattack. Injunctions in some .counties kept teachers from consulting together or speaking out on the issue. "We be­lieve these injunctions violated constitutional rights," Mr. Davis said, "but there was no short range way of dealing with them."

Teachers faced a news blackout in some areas where local editors put wire service stories in the wastebasket. "We have found that people outside Florida are better informed about what really happened than many people inside the state. 11 Teachers who tried to distribute handbills explaining their case were ar ­rested and held in jail for Violating an injunction that forbade them to speak publicly about the situation.

Men teachers found themselves in trouble with the draft boards. One teacher woke to find a cross burning on his lawn.

"Power structure is an overused word," Mr. Davis said, but I thi nk we found out all about it. 11

What happens in the future? Florida is not yet out of the woods . Several thousand teachers are 'still out--many will leave the state permanently. Some who have returned under economio pressure are already looking for jobs outside the state. Florida under normal circumstances needs 11 ,000 new teachers each year.
