GOVERNORS

ing three days were devoted to
general discussions Of items
on the agenda and the appoint
ment of the committees on
each of the major items. On
December 6, the Conference
began to refer to the commit
tees items for study, the con-
duct of hearings and the sub
uniting of reports.
There was considerable dis
cussion in the early days of
the Conference Of the possibi-
lily Of a program to aid to the
Caribbean area similar to the
European Recovery Program.
No source Of financing other
than the. United States was
suggested. That subject is now
before the Committee on In
naturalization. The members
Of the Caribbean Commission
will remain a few days follow
ing the end Of the Conference
to consider recommendations
Of the session and to transact
any other business.
Governor HASTE was unable
to remain for the end Of the
Conference because it was
necessary for him to return to
the Virgin Islands to consult
with a delegation from the
Federal Works Agency before
their departure for the States.

records indicate your chances are

We are repr1ntlng the clipping
from the Panama newspaper, and
if any of the boys who want to
get into the 10-sided "seven come
eleven" games, the opportunity
seems to be available:
"It is a remarkable fact" says
the Encyclopedia Britannica, "that
wherever dice have been found,
whether in the tombs of ancient
Egypt, of classic Greece, or of the
Far East, they differ in no material
respect from those in use today -
But the Encyclopedia may soon
be changed because of Edward G..
Jesberg, a native of Alexandria, Mo-.
and a resident in Panama for the
past II years.
He claims to have made one of
the extremely few changes in dice
in several thousand years-since
the ancients first perfected the art
of using them.
Jesburg has invented what he
calls Panama Tens"-or ten-sided
dice.
A heavy equipment section super
intendent formerly employed by the
Panama Canal who is now in
private business, the Missourian
says he first got the idea 20 years
ago.
at was while I was working in
Phoenix, Arizona, to be exact" he
recalled, "but for some reason or
other I just never got around to
doing anything about it until last
June"
Then one morning he got couple
of large potatoes and carved out
the forst set of Panama Tens.
II took one look at those rough
ly-cut potato dice and I knew the
idea was sound" Jesberg declared.
The next step was to carve a set
out of hard rubber and then to
have several sets carefully cut out
of ivory.
Panama Tens are also different
from commonly-known six-sided
dice in that they have beveled
edges and are stamped with Roman
numerals-fromo one through ten
instead of having the usual series
of dots, numbering one to six.
Jesburg has already obtained an
International patent on the new dice
and is currently negotiating for
their manufacture in the u. S.
He expects that his ten-sided
|'galloping dominoes" will be equal
ly popular with professional gam
blers, occasional dice-players and
even children.
"The fact that they have beveled
edges makes them absolutely un-
controllable," he explained. "That
should make them a hit with
gamblers as well as the occasional
crap-shooter."
Jesburg is currently drawing up
a series of games in which up to
five dice may be used. He hopes
to popuralize some of the games
among children.
"They can be of simultaneous
interest to children as a game and a
means of learning how to use
numbers, such as in multiplication
or addition" he said.

such program is to control in

we could be of little help to you

been able to secure most all of the

determine harmful quantities Of
dust, fumes and vapors that the
industrial worker might be exposed
to. This, of course, would include
dust counting and the chemical

THE TRAGEDY
OF SHYNESS
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

If Nathaniel Hawthorne were
| alive there is a novel | would like
! to have him write. He had the gen
ius for describing the over-develop-
ment of some one trait of character
that had become morbidly super-in-
tense, until it twisted and colOred,
deformed and transformed the
whole man. He thus depicted the
over-active Conscience in The Scar
let Letter. 1 would lick to have him
take up the over-active sense of
Modesty.
He could thus show use the tim
id, shrinking boy, full of love, life
and companionship, but too keenly
sensitive; so that little by little he
is alienated from all his playmates,
draws apart from his brothers and
sisters, and even from his mother.
No one understands what the diff
ficulty is. He is miscalled selfish,
egotistic, misanthropic. He is none
of the three. He is very unselfish,
the opposite of egotistic, for he des-
pises himself, and loves his fellow
beings passionately. The secret is
that his spiritual skin is so thin that
human contact of any kind is an ex-
quisite torment.
His early life would thus be
traced, until the climax comes. He
falls in love with an estimable girl,
who, however, has the womanly
knack of liberal criticism. He pours
out to her all the pent up reserves
of his nature, unfolds in passion
of confession all the inner life that
has so long been hidden. She takes
it all quite as a matter of course.
She sets him down as a very "pecu-
liar" man and tries to get him to
! fall in line with the rest of human
ity.
His struggle to retain her love
and to endure the torment of their
relationship increase in complexity
and intensity, until at last the high
strung silver cord snaps, the too
thin golden bowl is broken, and he
goes mad.
There is many an offense that we
attribute to wrong motives which is
really attributable to shyness only.
The reason why that boy spoke as
he did was not that he did not re-
spect you, and not that he wanted
to insult you; he was shy, embar-
rassed and awkward.
AS a rule a shy person has great

Washington, D. G. Effective
February 2, 1948, most occupations
in the logging of pulpwood will be
included among the saw-timber
logging and sawmilling jobs for
which an 18-year minimum age re-
quirement is established for en-
ployment under the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
This was announced by Secre-
tary L. B. Schwellenbach following
his approval of a revision of Haz-
ardous Occupations Order No. 4.
Adopted in 1941, this order raised
from 16 to 18 years the applicable
minimum age for employment in
most saw-timber logging and saw
milling operations covered by the
Act-the Wage and Hour Law
because they were found to be par
ticularly hazardous for minors.
The occupations added by the
amended order include some in the
logging of pulpwood, chemical
wood 3, excelsior wood, cordwood,
fence posts, and similar woods.

Most of the other industrial
states in the Union have had the
benefit of industrial hygiene serv-
ice for many years. We attempted
to 1naugurate such program
shortly before the war, but due to
the fact that we were unable to
get assistance from the u. S. Pub
lie Health Service and were unable
to secure our own personnel at
that time, our program has been
delayed. Now, however, we believe
that it has advanced to the point
where we can be of real assistance
to the industries and other agencies
in the state interested in industrial
health. In addition to our physical
facilities, we have acquired a rath-
er comprehensive library on occu-
pational diseases, industrial health
and related subjects.
If this office can be of any as
sistance to you and your organiza-
tion, l trust that you will not hesi-
tate to refer your problems to us.
