 cer has been called to numerous vio
 lations of the Child Labor Law. Since this may be due to the fact that special permits were issued dur 1 ing the summer vacation, notice is 1 given to both parents and employ
 CTS that this special permission was for the summer vaaction only and has l0een recalled. There are frequent applications for permits for children under fourteen years of age. According to the pro- visions of the Child Lahor Law no child under fourteen can be em- ployed. The probation officer has
 no authoityr to grant such permits. Should she do 80, she herself, as well as the parents and employers
 would be subject to fine. Attention of parents is also called to the Compulsory School Attend ] ance Law. Ther are number or
 children who should be in in school and who are not As soon as the schools are again opened, all cases of children who under the require ments of the la wshould be in school and who are not in attendance will | be investigated. According to the Juvenile Court
 Law, children under the age of ten years are not permitted to sell pa pers or any other merchandise upon 1 the streets. Parents are notified that l this law is going to be enforced and all children found violating it will be taken into custody by the prcba- tion officer. All of these laws have been enact ed by the legislature of this State and of others because they were con- sidered essential for the protection and welfare of children. That the
 children of Pine Bluff may reap the
 benefit of these laws the cooperation off the employers and parents is re- quested.
