Child Labor

RALEIGH, JUNE Is - Tar
Heel parents and employers of
tecn-age children today were re-
minded by State Labor Commits
Sioner Frank Crane that certain
requirements of both State and
Federal laws must be met be-
fore minors under 18 years of
age may be lawfully employed
at gainful occupations.
THE first requirement is that
minors under l8 must secure an
employment certificate from
their local superintendent of
Public Welfare before going to
work. Commissioner Crane
stated. with summer vacations
in progress, many teen-agers
Will be seeking employment. The
State and Federal child labor
statutes do not by any means
discourage employment of young
people, but they do establish
certain projections for our
youth.
prospective employers of
teen ayers can protect them
selves against unintential viola
lions of the law by insisting that
each minor whom they employ
obtains a properly issued en-
ployment certificate before re-
porting for work." Crane con-
tinued. Parents of teen-agers.
or their employers, may obtain
information about the applica-
ton Of the laws with regard to
specific jobs by contracting the
State Department of Labor in
Raleigh or any of the Depart
ments district offices located in
Asheville, Charlotte, Greensboro
and Goldsboro.
we are most anxious to pre-
vent violation of thestatutes
which regulate the employment
OF our young people," Commis-
sioner Crane said. "We would
much rather dc this by getting
the necessary information across
to parents, employers and Wei
fare superintendent. than by
having to correct violations aft
er they occur"

Markets at a Glance

Prices-June farm price index was highest in
nearly two years.
Cattle-Higher prices for well finished kinds,
lower prices for others, in prospect.
HOgs-Price decline to late fall low probably
will start soon.
Lambs-Prices probably will decline sharply
from July to October.
WoOl-Prices show steady to Slightly higher
trend.
wheat-Substantial price rise is probable by
midwinter.
Feed Grain-Oats and barley prices probably
will rise after harvest.
FIaxseed-Prices probably will not go much
lower.
Seeds-Prices probably will average higher
next season.
Feedstuffs- level probably will be low
er by early fall.
Hay-Prices probably are rounding bottom.
Dairy Products-Price trend will be up in next
few months.
Eggs-Prices for better grades probably will
work higher until early fall.
PouItry-Large consumption will tend to
strengthen broiler prices.
POtatOes-Prices probably will work lower as
harvest area wdens.
Fruits-Fewer apples, little change in pears
and more peaches in prospect.

Crop prospects appear to be less favor
able than year ago and some oats
acreage is being clipped or turned under
to qualify for a government soil bank
payment based on normal corn yield
of the land Sales by producers may
be light because of the small surplus
over needs for feeding and holding to
take advantage of the support program.
FLAXSEED-PriceS, now near net
loan value for the new crop, probably
will continue weak in the near future
but are not likely to go much lower.
June l stocks for processing, export or
carryOver were only about 66 million
bushels against 12.5 million bushels
year ago. Prospects of greatly increased
exports from Canada and Argentina
in the new season have weakened world
prices which reached high levels last
spring because of strong world demand
and short supplies.
SEEDS - Markets are waiting for
clearer indications as to the size of
new crops. Total production of hay and
forage seeds probably will be smaller
than last year. Drouth probably re-
duced timothy, bromegrass, bluegrass
and fescue seed crops and alfalfa seed
in early sections. DrOuth losses of this
years seedlings and the soil bank prob
ably will increase usage moderately in
the next IL months. Prices are likely
to average higher so that it will be
more profitable to obtain a seed crop
this year than in 1855.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Pric probably
will rise to 10 per cent as production
drops in the next four or five months.
The rate of decline in production and
degree of price strength will depend
partly on pastures. Although milk pro-
duction has been greater than in 1855,
increased consumption in fluid form has
held the amount made into manufac-
tured products below last year. How
ever, CCC has been purchasing nearly
the same amount of butter and con-
siderably more cheese to support prices
than year ago. Feeding ratios are bet
ter than year ago but are not likely
to be quite as profitable in fall and
winter as last year. Milk COW prices
average about 4 per cent higher than a
year ago.
EGGS-Prices for upper grades prob.
ably will advance in the next two OF
three months, then start a seasonal de
cline to their late winter or early spring
low point. Production probably will dror
S to 8 per cent by September, then be
gin slow seasonal rise. Storage stock!
of shell eggs are nearly the lowest o
record at this season back to 1916
Stocks of frozen eggs are below norma
so that breakers probably will buy NOR
than usual during the rest of the year
Egg consumption has been RUNNING
larger than a year ago. However, tn
early pullet crop probably is larg
enough to make a small increase

Returns over feed costs have bee
dropping since early in the year. The

quently it is found in pine stands
especially in Sussex County, where
it feeds on the seed OF pine.
Squirrels make their homes in
hollow den trees and many, es-
pecially in summer, construct Leaf
nests in the fork of likely tree or
even in the swaying outer branch
es. These nests are well construct
ed and are adequate protection
from rain and storm.
The patient hunter will find good

from a stream. The squirrel rare

travel an average of only 200 yards
in search of daily food.
The best time to squirrel hunt is
September when the. animals are
cutting the fall crop of hickory
auts or acorns. They begin to eat
these nuts and acorns while they
are still green. The leaves on the

to obtain first-hand information on
Government purchasing procedures
to secure awards.
Mr.. Hartman said: Among the
prime responsibilities of our Agen-

jobs available, more than $50 were
reported in Delaware and 365 in
other states. Fifty-one graduates
were eligible for these jobs. Of
694 secondary openings, 1876 were
in Delaware schools.
Of the 103 graduating students
81, or nearly half, accepted teach
ing positions in Delaware. The 20
who accepted jobs elsewhere were
principally out-of-state students
returning to their own states to
live and work. Fourteen graduates
are not now available because of
marriage, military service, or for
other reasons; four went into in
dGstry;; and three went on to grad
uate school. Only two remain un-
placed at the present time.
Mrs. Wyatt was quick to point
out that teachers with certain
qualifications are more in demand
than others.
Graduates who combine several
areas of knowledge are generally
more acceptable than those quail
fed only in one field" Mrs. Wyatt
revealed. There are especially
good opportunities for teachers of
mathematics or English in COM
bination with other subjects. Sci
ence, home economies and indus
trial arts teachers also are high on
the wanted list"
Fewer openings were noted by
the placement director for teach
ers of modern languages, history
and social studies, agriculture and
mems physical education.
Salaries of teachers also show a
marked improvement over those
offered a few years ago. Mrs. Wyatt
disclosed
Salaries offered for positions in
Delaware ranged between s3,100
and $3,920 per year" Mrs. Wyatt
said. Out t-of-state jobs valied
from a low of $4,000 to high of
$4,275. The average salary offered
in Delaware schools was higher
than the average of out-of-state
offers tabulated by the placement
office, however"
The survey also revealed that
teaching salaries for women, fig
ured on a twelve months basis,
were higher than the average of
all other job offers received by lib
eral arts graduates and, in some
cases. exceeded those of home eco
nomics graduates. Only women
graduating in chemistry or other
sciences could expect substantial
ly higher wages.

Penguin Regatta
Was Big Success
Continued from page one)


In the second race Collie man
aged to come in ninth. and still
was in good position to win. How
ever, the wind proved his undoing
Sunday afternoon. AS he turned
around the buoy marking the end
of the first lap, he capsized. A
good sport, he came back for the
fourth race and again capsized in
the very same place.
Meanwhile William Lane of Eas-
ton, Md, with Connie Bloomfield
as a crew member, improved in
every race. He scored a sixth, sec
ond, second and first in the four
events; compiled 1928 points and
was crowned the new 1856 pen
guin champion by the National
Penguin Glass Dinghy Association.
The runner-up position with
129.5 points was DR.. Walter Law
son, Washington, ID. c., physician,
who had Bert Bell as his crewman.
Silver trophy awards also went to
third, fourth and fifth place win
ners as follows: Bruce and Audrey

to successful contestants. Cover
nor Boggs praised the work of the
contestants under trying conditions
and invited them to return to en-
joy Delaware's sport spots and its
hospitality as provided by mem
bers of the Indian River Yacht
Club, sponsors of the two-day
event.
Winners of first place in the
four races were: Collie, Brown,
Anderson and Lane in that order.
Each was given a small silver cup
as his reward.
Mr.. Lane also. became holder of
the National Association perlnan-
ent trophy on which his name will
be inscribed. Next year he returns
it and the new winner will hold lit
for year.
The Indian River Yacht Club
had placed its hopes in Robert
Purnell and "Bo-Bo Jr." to make
a showing in the Atlantic Coast
meet. Said ito be their best sailor,
he came to grief in the second race
when his skiff overturned and he
could not finish. However, he game
ly sailed along i'm each of the four
races.
Walter (Hilly) Purnell served as
race chairman and James M. Tun-
nell, Jr., was meet chairman, call
ing the signals and getting the
shippers together from time to time
when it seemed almost necessary
to abandon the contests ON Sunday
because of the high wind. However.
the shippers voted to make two
more attempts and both were run
off without incident except for
Coles capsizing twice.
