It’s not worth all of the work for just $10

"It didn't pay enough," replied freshman Kris Prem
when asked why she quit delivering papers. The pay was
$10 a week. Prem felt that it was too much work, especially
in the winter, for $10. Prem had been delivering the Omaha
World-Herald for 8 months until she decided to quit.
A former carrier, Kevin Kajdasz said that he wasn't
making enough money either. Kajdasz is a seventh grader
at Ralston Middle School. "I make more money babysitting,
and it's more fun than delivering papers," said Kajdasz.
Paper carriers are more cautious now. A lot of carriers
have their parents drive them around to deliver. "My
parents weren't real worried because if they didn't drive
me I had my dog with me. It is a golden retriever," said
Prem. Prem delivered papers in the afternoon, but many
deliver in the mornings, which are a little more dangerous.
Since the murders of two Bellevue-area youngsters,
everyone has been more cautious. A lot of parents pick
their children up from school rather than letting them walk
home. Even Ralston High principal, Lon Bernth, has cracked
down. Bernth announced over the intercom that if any
student was not in first hour class, his parents would be
notified.

Man's best friend can be a companion and
a protector when delivering papers as
freshman Kris Prem and her golden
retriever show.
