Scarecrows quit job
NZPA-AAP London Three unemployed Birmingham youths who took jobs as scarecrows on a Kent farm for £5O ($139) a week, quit after one week because they objected to the living conditions. The London “Telegraph” newspaper reports that the youths were in a group of eight living in two portable buildings at Mr Eddie Waltham’s farm in High Halstow. They were hired to protect Mr Waltham’s £20,000 ($55,600) crop of cherries.
