Prince Georges Backs
Bowling Alleys Plea
To Use Boys Under Is
Commissioners Point Out
Law Is Statewide, but
They Will Permit Appeal

The Prince Georges County COM
sioners yesterday indicated their ap-
proval of request by bowling alley
operators in the county for the
relaxation" of a law prohibiting
employment of boys under l6 years
Of age.
Though the commissioners ex-
planned they could not take action
on the request because the law is
Statewide, they said they would
not object" to the appearance of
the operators before John M. Pohl-
haus, State commissioner of labor
and statistics.
Declaring that the owners of
bowling alleys are faced with the
loss of at least part of their busi-
ness because Of their inability to
obtain pin boys more than Is years
OF age, Marvin Peach, attorney for
the operators. asked that the law
be amended to permit employment
Of IA to is year old boys
In opposing the request, Miss
Kathleen Shears, county school at
tendance oflicer, said the Children s
Bureau of the Labor Department
has issued 4 bulletin recommend
ing disapproval of such a move.
She declared that some of the
bowling alleys in the county hire
boys from 10 to IA years of age
and keep them at work until l or
2 am. AS a result, she added these
boys are forced to catch up" on
their sleep in school.
The commissioners also received
a letter from DR.. A. L. Brueckner,
acting director of the State Live
stock Sanitary Service, in which
he denied request by the Marlboro
Hunt Club for relaxation of the
dog quarantine in the Marlboro
and Melwood districts to permit
fox hunting.
While admitting that the quar-
antine in Montgomery County had
been relaxed two months ago to
permit persons to use their dogs
in bird hunting, DR.. Brueckner said
approval of the Marlboro Hunt
Clubs request would not be in the
best interests of human health pro-
lection"
He explained that in bird hunting,
the dogs are almost always in sight
of their owners and under their
direct control. Such restrictions do
not exist, however, in fox hunting,
he added.
