School Children
Seek Permits
For Employment

Questions concerIdng work per-
mits for minors have become so
numerous since school began and
swamped the office of Mrs. Liefy
V. Upholt. county attendance Su-
perviSor, to such an extent that
she prepared a statement covering
those asked most frequently, she
said Tuesday.
Many people want TO know how
to get a permit so that minors may
work" Mrs. Upholt said Tuesday.
This is done by applying at the
office of the attendance supervisor
in the basement of the court house
in El Centre. Some proof or verifi-
cation of the age of the minor must
be submitted to the attendance Su-
pervisor. Proof includes a birth GER
tificate, baptiSmal certificate, school
record, drivers license. insurance
policy. or notarized affidavit of the
parent
Interest also is shown in Satur-
day-yacation permits. These are
permits to minors between the ages
of "A and l8 years to work Satur-
days, Sundays, and other days when
school is not in session. Minors
between the ages of Il and 18 years
may work after school also. An out
of-school-hours permit may be OBJ
tanned by filling a form obtained
from the school principal or at
tendance supervisor and presenting
II IN tho a-+ando-ca c,,rNCr,-;e0,. ~,
the form is a space provided for
the signature of the employer and
giving the hours of work. Also
school record signed by the school
principal, setting forth the hours
of school attendance, and explain
ing the status of work and attend
ance. The parent also must sign
this form.
In order to avoid employing a
child Illegally" Mrs. Upholt said,
the employer should always de-
mand proper work permits from
minors"
A minor may be employed full
time if Is and II years of age and
has been given permission by the
attendance supervisor after confer
enceS with parents and school auth
critics. Also full time employment
is available TO minors IA and Is
years of age, who have completed
the eighth grade ,and whose earn
ings are needed because of illness,
Ceath. or desertion of parent. Full
time employment also is permitted
those minors who, in the judgment
Of the principal and supervisor. will
benefit from vocational training.
Rules governing the employment
of minors are established by federal
and state child labor laws.

Court Ruling
On Home Return

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26 up
Federal Judge Peirson M. Hall has
continued until next Monday petit
tions by seven JapaneSe-AmericanS
that they be permitted to return to
California
Attorney A. l.. Wirin, represent
ing the Japanese for the Civil Lib
critics Union, asked for continuance
after U. s. Attorney Charles Carr
introduced affidavits from an army
board of inquiry which called one
of the petitioners potentially dam
gerous," and stated it was assem-
bling information Oh the others.
The return of DR.. George Ochi-
kubo. a dentist, would constitute
a potential danger to military Sc
curity, and military necessity re-
quires the continuance of his ex-
clusion," Carr said.
He said Major General Charles
Bonesteel, western defense COM
mander, had issued an order to
continue the exclusion of Ofhikubo
as the result of the finding of the
army board.
The U. S. attorney said the army
was assembling information in re-
gard to the other six petitioners
preliminary to a hearing before the
exclusion hearing board
1t is the policy of the army to
continue the exclusion of persons
whose backgrounds, associations and
theology might reasonably cause
them at some favorable opportunity
to commit acts of sabotage or en-
gage in espionage Carr quoted the
