Helping Families Rebuild Is
Red Gross' Main Flood Task
A Central Missouri homeowner shows a Red Cross disaster worker
how Missouri River flood waters tore out walls inside his home. He and
his wife managed to save only a few pieces or bcdclothing. Throughout
the Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Illinois P—id area 425 trained Red
Cross disaster workers assisted by hundr chapter volunteers are
engaged in the Red Cross' biggest part oi aster job, helping more
than 26,000 families back to normal restoiii.0 uomes, furniture, livUboods
for those without means to help themselves. All help is given outright,
not lent. Flood relief contributions to local Red Cross chapters will
finance this help, now costing almost double the original SS.OOO.OOO Reel
Cross estimate. This help to individual families is not included in the
$25,000,000 authorized by Congress for restoration cf public works, essen-
tial businesses, etc.
VACATION JOBS FOR STUDENTS
VITAL CONCERN OF UNCLE SAM
FORT WORTH, May 19. —
Vacation jobs for minors, al-
ready beckoning to boys and
girls soon to leave their class-
rooms, are a matter of concern
for Uncle Sam again this year.
Field Office Supervisor Ben
W. Ferrell of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Labor's Wage-Hour of-
fice here, points out that al-
though having a summer job is
worthwhile, t h e far-reaching
effects of an education, which
boys and girls should continue
when schools re-open in Sep-
tember, "far outweigh t h e
money earned on a summar
job".
And before they start to
work, he insists that teen-
agers should know the jobs
they may legally do under the
two Federal labor laws admin-
istered by the U.S. Department
of Labor. Those laws are
(I) the Fair Labor Standards
Act and (2) the Walsh-Healey
Public Contracts Act.
Both laws restrict the em-
ployment of child labor—the
first in interstate commerce, and
the second on work connected
with U.S. government c d n •
tracts.
Child labor provisions in the
Fair Labor Standards Act ap-
ply to any employer who em-
ploys any minor in interstate or
foreign commerce or in the pro-
duction of goods for corn-

merce—and to any producer,
manufacturer, or dealer who
ships goods or delivers goods
for shipment in inlorstate or
foreign commerce. Generally,
the minimum age for such em-
ployment is lfi years; how-
ever, there are 10 so-called
hazardous types of jobs for
which a minimum age of IB
years has been set.
The Walsh-l-Iealey Public Con-
tracts Act applies to manufac-
turers or dealers contracting to
make or supply materials val-
ued in excess of $10,000 for the
U.S. government. O n such
work, the minimum age for bovs
is- 16 years and the minimum
age for girls is 18 years.
Mr. Ferrell also would like
for youngsters to know about
the type of age certificates
needed for employment. For
employers who wish to protect
themselves from unintentional
violation of the child labor pro-
visions of these Federal laws
will require boys and girls to
obtain age certificates before
they start to work.
Such age certificates are
needed for minors under 18 in
general employment and by
those who are 18 and 19 if they
work in occupations declared to
be hazardous. Minor girls of
18 and 19 will need such certi-
ficates if they work on govern-
ment contracts, he says.
In Texas, such certificates of
age are issued as a public ser-
vice by any of the 82 offices
of the Texas Employment Ser-
vice.
Finally, he advises young
workers to find out about the

AUSTIN, May 19. -How much

Mow much is il worth to you
to have maintained a staff of
experts to control flies, mos-
quitoes, rats, and other disease-
bearing vermin? Mow much is
it worth to conduct those well
child conferences and supervise
immunizations in your town?
Mow much is it worth to you
to know that your food supply
is protected and that it is fit
for human consumption?
How much are the tubercu-
losis chest x-ray services, and
the state's venereal disease con-
trol organization worth?
How much is it worth to in-
sure that your city's water sup-
ply isn't full of contamination?
Those public health nurses who
teach expectant mothers how to
handle themselves and thei.r

FREEDOM IS
NOT FREE
There is a price to pay for freedom.
That price is vigilance against hasty
and unwise action by any organized
minority or an uninformed majority
that might propose measures to take
our freedom from us.
To be vigilant we must study and
understand our Capitalistic System.
Today it is the most undersold eco-
nomic system in all history, while
Communism is the most oversold.
"The Condition Upon Which God Hath
Given Liberty to Mon Is Eternal Vigilance;
Which Condition if He Break, Servitude Is
at Once the Consequence of His Crime,"
—John Philpot Curran.
