Show CHARLES AND FRIEDA BYTHEW A Y NOVEMBER 6, 2001 over to apply for a job. When I got there, there was a hne a guys about a half a block long and I stood in a line and next thing I knew there were, twenty or thirty people behind me. And I looked down that hne and I said to myself, "They only want one worker and they want somebody that's strong and big and healthy" I looked down that hne and said, "Who am I kidding. They're not going to hire me." They've only got one job and that's the way It was. You could not find a job. I mean, It was depression, really, because there was all these people coming out of the service and no JObs available. BEC: Right. Because all the industry had been geared toward the war and the war's over now and so- CHA: Yeah. They all stopped. BEC: So It took a while for that to change around. CHA: So, two brothers and myself, we went up to Oregon, trying to find work and we ended up in a sawmill up In Burns, Oregon. And it was a horrible job I had, but I wanted to go on a mission and when we got there the branch that was there was quarantined because of scarlet fever In those days If you had scarlet fever they quarantined you and so they weren't holding any services. After I was there for two or three weeks I smd, "Gee, I'm never going to get called on a mission from here." So I quit my job and come home and told everybody I wanted to go on a mission and then I got called on a miSSion. BEC: CHA: BEC: CHA: And where did you serve your mission? New Zealand. In New Zealand. And how many years was that? Two? Two years. 35 |
