DEATH AT WOODLAND

Last Saturday evening there was
ball at Woodland Beach and
among those who were in the ball
room was Mrs. George Quinn, the
wife of the photographer of that
name, there. She had her baby
there in a carriage and the little
one which is quite frail fell sick
quite soon. 1t was taken to the
hotel and the dancing was proceed
ing when Mr.. Campbell, the pro-
prietor, appeared and in a very
shaky voice said that the baby had
died and the dancing would have
to stop. All was confusion at
once. An undertaken would not be
procured at once, and Mr.. Quinn
was soon surrounded by a crowd OF
sympathizers. He was, of course
almost frantic, but was finally per-
suaded to wait and send the body
up on the Steamer Christiana. VIII.
/ liam A. FAIRIES of Smyrna, was sent
to take charge of the body. This
is the first sad event at Woodland
Beach, and it is hoped that it will
be the last.

NEW LABOR LAW
IN DELAWARE
State Employers Informed of
Regulations Regarding
Minor Workers
MINIMUM AGES ARE SET

Attention of Delaware employers
was called by Leon H. Ryan of the
State Labor Commission to two
new federal regulations governing
employment of minors under 18 in
hazardous occupations. Mr.. Ryan
presided at the quarterly board
meeting in the Equitable Trust
Building offices, Wilmington, in the
absence of Col. Thomas G. Frame,
chairman. Other members present
were James M. Reese, Mrs. Sallie
Robinson, and William J. McClaf-
ferty, Jr. The new regulations,
which went into effect August l.,
are Child Labor Orders No. 4 and
5, issued by the u. S. Children's
Bureau under the child labor provi-
sions of the Fair Labor Standards
Act. Order No. 5, Mr.. Ryan ex-
planned, establishes Is as the min
imum age for employment in oc-
equations involved in the operation
of power-driven woodworking ma
chimes, as these occupations have
been declared particularly hazard
Gus for young workers. The fol-
lowing types of employment in con-
nection with woodworking ma
chimes are covered by the orders:
Operating power-driven woodwork
ing machines; feeding material in
to such machines; helping an oper-
ator to feed materials into them;
having direct control or supervision
over such machines, and setting up,
adjusting, repairing, oiling and
cleaning them. The occupations of
off bearing from circular saws or
guillo action veneer clippers
where such off-bearing is done di-
rectly from a saw table or from the
point of operation also are covered
by the order. Order No. 4, Mr..
Ryan added, sets minimum age
of 18 years in all occupations in
logging and all occupations in any
Smyrna times., 1941-08-14

sawmill, lath mill, shingle mill, or
cooperage-stock mill, with certain
exceptions. While Delaware does
not have many logging and saw
milling Establishments, woodwork
ing machines are used in a great
number of industries in the state.
81 wish especially to call to the at
tention of employers that a viola
tion of these orders is a violation
of the Fair Labor Standards Act
which applies to producers, manu-
facturers, or dealers who ship
goods in interstate commerce or
deliver such goods for shipment,
and heavy penalties are prescribed
for such violations" Mr.. Ryan said.
Delaware employers can protect
themselves from unintentional vio-
lations of the child-labor provisions
of the federal act by keeping on
file certificates of age for all min
ors claiming to be 18 or 19 years
old employed in occupations declar-
ed hazardous, as well as certificates
for all 16 and 17-year-old minors
in occupations not declared hazard
GUS. Through a cooperative ar
rangement with the us. Children's
Bureau, state employment and age
certificates are acceptable as proof
of age under the federal act. Such
certificates are issued by the State
Labor Commission, Wilmington, ,and
at certain periods in Dover, George
town, and Seaford."

The story Of the Willow Run
unit is not so much its products
or the part it plays in the village
program, as in the young workers
it employs. Producing door and
ignition locks for Ford cars, the
plant is manned by 35 boys Mr..
Ford established in farm camp
last summer. Most of the boys
come from neighboring farms and
towns.
The days output at Willow
Run, as in other village industries,
represents only small portion of
the Ford Motor Company's needs
for a particular item. But the
advantages of such little plants
to communities in which they are
located, to workers, and to the
company are so definite Mr.. Ford
has steadily increased the scope
OF the program. Other village in
dustries win be added soon.

YPSILANTI, Mich.-A rural
experiment started back in 1918
when Henry Ford established the
first of his famous village indus
tries has just passed another mile
stone. The Willow Run plant,
shown above, was opened recently
near here, becoming the 18th and
newest unit in the Ford string of
small factories in meadow"
Nationwide attention of farm
and industrial leaders has been
attracted by the Ford village pro-
gram. The tiny neighborhood
plants are located on rural water
power sites within a 50-mile
radius of the Ford parent plant
at Dearborn. The industries were
started by Mr.. Ford to help bridge
the gap between farm and factory
and to demonstrate the worth
while possibilities Of industrial
decentralization.

Total valuation of food stamp
sales for July was 100000, COM
pared with S30,819 for June, the
slight drop being accounted for in
the fact that there were less per-
sons eligible to participate. Private
industry gave employment to a
number who had previously been
eligibles, F. o. Fearon, manager of
the relief division of the Old Age
Welfare Commission, has announc-
ed Mr.. Fearon stated there were
1888 participants in the food stamp
plan in July, Sales totaled $20,06C
in orange stamps for the month
with $1,000 donated in blue
stamps, for grand total of $780,
900. There were 4,036 participants
in June, with total sales of $20,34e
in orange stamps, and $10.273 ir
blue stamps donated, for total Of

an important item to the commerce
of Smyrna River. They are off to
Woodland Beach today for rest
and cooling breezes.
DR.. E. Dawson, formerly of Fred
erica, now in the Treasury Depart
ment, Washington, filled the pulpit
of the Methodist Church on Sunday
morning and evening, presenting
subjects that enforce the spirited
life of the Church. He has been
with his wife, visiting her father,
Thomas B. Coursey, near Freder-
lea, stopping to see his daughter,
Mrs. William d. Hudson, en- route
to Washington.
A big cotton crop and big corn
crop and wheat crop are harbingers
of better times in the coming fall
and winter. These conditions can
be relied upon to produce better re-
suits and more happiness and con-
tentment than any political plat
form enunciated by any party in all
the political circles. Then add to
those the great fruit crop and we
have a foundation to build on
which must make business hum
when once it commences after the
holidays.
The city markets are full of all
kinds of fruit. Bananas are arriv-
ing freely from the tropics, and are
selling remarkably low-much low
er than has been the case for many
years; and in fact all kinds of fruit
are in great quantities California
contributing very largely to help
fill the market. However, Cali
fornia fruit is in good demand, ow-
ing to the superior packing and
better carrying quality. Undoubt-
edly the low pices will give way to
an improved tone with very much
lighter shipments.
The prediction that August would
be a "scorcher" has been fully veri-
fed in the past five days. Monday
the mercury reached 81 degrees in
Wilmington and Philadelphia. the
thermometers here registering be-
tween 90 and 95 degrees. The tenn
perature has been almost as high
since but the air has been dryer
and with more of a breeze, and con-
sequently more endurable. The
nights have been almost breezeless
and consequently oppressive. 1t
has been severe on laboring people,
but no sun strokes have been re-
ported.

SMYRNA LIBRARY FAVORED

Daniel B. Cummins, Esq, Presi-
dent of the Girard Bank of Phila-
delphia, sent his check last week
to Alex. G. Cummins, which was
handed over by him to the Treasur-
er of the Library Association. The
check was drawn for $100 to pur-
chase books for the public library
of this town. The Encyclopedia
Brittanica, 25 volumes has been
purchased of the agent, John B.
Cooper, and is now on the shelves.
The residue of the money will be
appropriated to purchase books so
as to keep the library up with the
current publication of the day. Mr..
Cummins, has thus, as he has sew
eral times before, in transmitting
his check for S100 placed the young
people and the patrons of the
Smyrna Library under obligation
to him for his continued favors to
the place of his nativity.

George Butler, six feet, four
inches tall. He'd always wanted
to push a BICYCLE up l4,ll0 feet
to the top of Pixies Peak and ride
down.
George finally has done it. He
went up the Barr trail, a tortuous
rock-strewn path that even bur-

days to reach the top.
After a good rest he rode
down the automobile highway
