Youths Sacrificing
 Education, Health
Youngsters Under l6 Years of Age Reported in All=
 Out Effort to Promote Christmas Business

Boston, Dec. 16 Christmas spending at the expense of over worked and weary children serving as sales help was characterized to- day by Miriam Thurman, New Eng land Consultant of the Children's Bureau, United States Department of Labor, as contrary to the whole spirit of Christmas"
 Rallying to help wanted appeals, many high school students under 16 years of age are even now at work for long hours in overcrowded stores and shops helping to handle the Christmas rush, doing everything from selling knick- -knacks to de- livering furniture. Often this is done at the expense of both their education and their health. This is occurring, too, at time when the Government is urging economy rather than extravaganza in Christ mas spending.
 Child-Lab0r Provisions
 Retail establishments that pro- duce any of the goods they sell and in addition ship much goods across State lines are subject to the child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. and they should not hire children below 16 years of age to work in departments where manufacturing is done. In other de- partments, for instance in selling or clerical work, they may employ children IA and 15 years of age but not below 14-outside of school hours for as long as 3 hours day and IS hours week when schools are in session and for as long as g hours day, 40 hours week whell schools are not in session. Their employment must be outside school hours and must not extend beyond p. m. Boys under IS, working for these establishments, may not be employed as drivers or helpers on motor vehicles.
 Many retail establishments do not l come under the provisions of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-12-16

Federal Act but are subject to pro- visions of State Law. Employers should take special care at this time to check on standards of their State law before they employ youngsters.
 Physical Endurance
 For humanitarian as well as le- gal reasons, Miss Thurman urged the use of women and older boys and girls rather than children under 16. "Youngsters below 16 years of age," she pointed out ''are not mature enough to have the physical endurance required to work long hours under pressure without detriment to their health and wei fare. Tn many communities the widespread emphasis on the need for workers during the Christmas season has resulted in demands on the part of many groups for the services of high school youth very often without sufficient effort to re- cruit adults.
 If adults are not available, 1t would be far better for stores to restrict their hours of sale than to violate the spirit of Christmas by sjaffing their counters with over worked children. Christmas giving at the expense of weary children is contrary to the whole spirit of Christmas"

broad generalizations from that false premise"
 The President of the Cortez - through which every prison sen- tence must pass called for the record of every prisoner in con- finement - 8 record that is avail able only to him and to a few others.
 At the close of the civil war" he said, "this record contained the names of more than 100000 men and women. It was document of tragedy and horror.
 FEW EXECUTIONS
 You must remember that while we Spaniards are great fighters, we are also great haters. In our civil war, much of the fighting and dis order were on the part of civil ians, so that putting a person in jail was often the equivalent of military capture. In any case, the total number of persons confined reached its peak at 100000.
 T have heard it stated repeat edly abroad that there are sev- eral hundreds thousand Spanish political prisoners still in jail. The usual figure seems to be around 250,0O0.

Madrid, Dec. 16 - (By Wireless) Esteban Bilbao, longtime Spanish Minister of Justice and now pres ident of the Cortez Spain'S Ma tional Assembly agreed today to make, through the newspapers I represent, the first official state ment regarding the number of Spanish prisoners still in Spanish prisons. This has been a govern ment secret heretofore.
 Senor Bilbao, non-party man of the most excellent reputation here, received me cordially in his office.
 Quite frankly" he said, "the whole subject has apparently grown totally out of hand abroad. But certainly any dark suspicious that others abroad may hold re- garding the matter of civil rights here cannot help our relations with any one overseas. For a long time we here have felt that the true picture has been as dis torted as though we in Spain were to regard news about Ku Klux Klan activities, for example, as typical of Americas attitude to- ward civil liberties-and then make

SEE SHOWDOWN IN SHIPDUILDING
 IN B. 6. YARDS
By ALEX JANUsITIs United Press Stan Correspondent

| (Untted Press Stan COrTespOndent)
 Vancouver, B. O.. Dec. l6.-(UP)-- The future of British Columbia $ shipbuilding industry grew more un- certain today in the wake of a statement by a prominent shipbuild- ing official that the shipyards will not switch over to construction of the new and faster type of Victory freighter.
 This official predicted that in about month the B. c. yards will have slowed production to l0O-day ships. instead of the 40 to 60 days in effect a few months ago.
 The reason given for no change in the type of ships to be built here is lack of facilities in Canada for building the necessary type of en- zine for the faster freighters. The United States is switching over to Victory ships that will cruise at about IS knots, or reach a top speed of IT to 18 knots--flve knots faster than the freighters now be- ing built in Canada. The speedier vessels will have a much greater advantage in competing in the post war maritime trade, and it is be- lieved that this is the chief reason why the United States is building them.
 The faster ships need turbine engines, while the slower Liberty vessels use reciprocating engines. In Canada, the latter are built at Toronto and Montreal, but there is no company in the Dominion turn ing out turbine engines suitable for large freighters.
 British Columbia shipyards, which are credited with setting up splen- did record in turning out ships when they were needed most, have, 1t is believed, enough contracts to keep them going until the end of 1944, but beyond that their future is un- certain.
 The B. c. shipyards have pro- duced more than 60 per cent of the total of 200 merchant ships of the 10000 ton class that have been built and delivered in Canada. The 200th vessel. the Windermere Park, was delivered recently to Park Steamships by the West Coast ship builders. Five B. c. yards are now building 10000-ton freighters, and sixth is engaged in naval building.
 One shipyard here-the Burrard Drydock Go. - has established an all-Canada record for perfect ves- Sels completed. Twelve ships turned out by the company have been taken on trial runs and passed in spection without single defect recorded on the "moan"list.
 The record is unusual in world shipbuilding history, since some de- feet is usually discovered in a vessel when she goes on her first run. The tests are severe and before being turned over to the owners every craft must be approved by Lloyds Registry of Shipping, Brit ish Ministry of War Shipping and British Ministry of War Transport surveyors.
 The moan" list customarily con- tains a number of details which must be corrected in a vessel.
