Youthful Seekers
Of Jobs Warned

WASHINGTON, Feb l4-tUP)-
Young people under 20 who leave
home to seek jobs should carry
with them proof of their age
lest they find themselves barred
from war jobs ,on which they are
needed, Katherine F. Lenroot
chief of the children's bureau OF
the Labor Department, said Men
day
A copy of a girth certificate. a
church record such as a baptlSmal
certificate, or an insurance policy
of several years standing on which
their birth is recorded, are the
best evidence, Miss Lenroot said.
A ration card, a social security
card or a drivers license will not
do.
The problem is particularly seri-
Gus on the west coast where child
labor laws are among the best in
the country and where they are
being enforced" Miss Lenroot said.

Directors Unit
Opposes Bees
Franchise Sale

SA NFRANCISCO. Feb. IA. (UP)
The Pacific Coast League faces
a vital issue with sale of the Sacra-
mento Baseball Club to Tacoma in
terests as two league directors an
nounced their opposition to the
transfer, apparently blocking COM
pletion of the deal.
President Charles Graham of the
San Francisco Seals and c. l.. Laws
of the Oakland Acorns declared
they would vote against the trans
fer. which requires unanimous ap-
proval of all league directors.
The sale of the Sacramento Solons
for a reported price of $4,000 fol-
lowed several months OF dealing
during which Vancouver and Spo-
kane interests had also bid for the
franchise.
SALE COMPLETED
Phil G.. Bartelme chief OF the
club, announced that President Sam
Breadon of the st. Louis Cardinals
owners of the Solons, had tele-
phoned him to announce completion
of the sale.
The Tacoma group, committee
of civic leaders, had held an op-
ton to buy the club and players
and transfer operations to Tacoma,
with today as the deadline for clos
ing the sale.
With Graham and Laws opposing
the plan, however, the leagues rule
calling for unanimous approval OF
the transfer apparently raised a
tough obstacle to the deal, marking
what may develop into long de-
bate before the issue is settled
Clarence PANTS Rowland, presi-
dent of the Pol, announced in Los
Angeles that a telegraphic vote by
directors would be counted and an
nounced Monday.
STATES OBJECTION
Graham's objection to the trans
fer offered the suggestion that the
people of Sacramento Ee given a
chance to buy the club" but there
were no signs of buying interest in
CALIFORNIA; Capital City where re-
sentiment over the clubs last-place
performance was great during the
past season.
Laws, recent purchaser of the
Oakland club, said he was not IA
miliar with the situation, but want
ed Ito go along with Graham on
this policy
Another newcomer to the league,
Don Stewart of the Los Angeles
club, said he did not know enough
about the matter to make a state
ment. but Major Charles Mel. Lott
San Diego president, and Emil Sick
Seattle head, stated they would ap-
prove the deal.
Sick, vacationing at Palm Springs
Calf, said his only objections were
IF there isn't any money behind the
deal, but if the purchase goes
through, 1 can see no objection"

The Wilmington morning star., 1944-12-19
BY RUTH MILLETT

A soldier about to 60 home on
leave has sent me a letter written
to him by his wife in which she
tells him that before ne gets home
and hears it from gossips, she
wants him to know she has been
dating.
The wife's embarrassed, apollo
getic letter and the husbands hurt
and bewilderment as reflected in
his letter to me would make pro-
fitable reading for any war wife
who hasn't yet made up her mind
whether or not to date in her hus-
bands absence.
The wife in this case says Il was
lonely"-as all war wives are lone
ly. She says the dating was en-
tirely harmless-but that there are
people in the town who are sure
to believe otherwise-as there are
always people ready to believe the
worst.
She says she loves her husband
and is anxious for him to come
home. Most wives, even many of
those who decide they can't get
along without dating, do love their
husbands.
But right now she is on the spot.
Her husband is coming homeland
it isn't a completely joyful occa-
sion for her or for him, because
she has had to make explanations.
Maybe there wouldn't be such an
unpleasant situation now if the
wife had faced all this in advance,
before she ever accepted date in
her husbands absence.
Then she could have written to
ask him if he objected to her ac-
cepting a mans invitation to din
ner and an evening of dancing or
a movie-and let his verdict stand.
Or she could have gone into dat
ing with her eyes open, knowing
that she would eventually have to
do one of two things:
Tell her husband that she had
been dating before ne came home
to keep from running the risk Of
his hearing about it from some
body else. Or say nothing to her
husband about her dating, and 60
around worrying for fear someone
else might.
And she could certainly antici-
pate either Of those courses would
be far from pleasant She might
even figure that few dates
