MOI'JE' McHENRY 452 5BE From where I sit ...Ay Joe Marsh Happy Swap More and more farmers--who badly need hired help sometimei, but can't afford a full-time hand --are making deals with young town workers and the employers they work W For instfance, young Hap Hooper now lives rent-free on Easy Roberts' farm. In return he works about 100 days a year for Easy-for a farmhand's pay. The rest of the year Hap works for his "regular" boss . . . Buzz Ellis, the electrician. Buzz just speeds up his business when Haplf ~o!f hand - stbfrs It down when he isn't-and, like Easy, pockets healthy savings in wages. From where I sit, it's great how people with different backgrounds --and different viewpoints--can co-operate. How about more of us trying that? I live in a town -- maybe you're a farmer. I'm partial to a good glass of beer --you may prefer coffee or milk. But we can make things pleasanter by ignoring differences and giving each ether a "hand."
