Rescue Policies Are Unchanged
U.S. Coast Guard Comman
dant, Adm. James S. Gracey
told members of the National
Boating Safety Advisory
Council meeting in Annapolis,
Md., that the Coast Guard has
not changed its basic search
and rescue or towing policies.
The oldest continuous sea
service is “alive and well,” he
said. “The only change in re
cent years has been routine
on-the-water boating law en
forcement which has all but
disappeared.”
Responding to widely cir
culated reports of the recom
mendations from one of 25 re
cent studies of tlie Coast
Guard, Adm. Gracey said,
“The Coast Guard has not
gone and is not going out of
small-boat search and rescue
and is not abandoning non
emergency search and
rescue.”
He said the service’s men
and women are daily called
upon “to go in harm’s way”
and those who take these risks
must have the best equipment
and must build their capabili
ty and confidence by honing
their skills on routine
incidents.
Drawing a parallel in
sports, he continued, “You
need your best players in the
World Series but they won’t
be ready for that level of
stress and competition unless
they play throughout the
season and prepare for that in
spring training.”
He reminded the council
that the recreational boatman
is served not only by the
vessels, aircraft and skilled
personnel of the regular Coast
Guard but by volunteers of
the Coast Guard Auxiliary as
well. “The auxiliary also
needs to participate in
assistance cases,” he said. “It
is very important to keep the
auxiliary strong.”
Asked by a Council member
about commercial towing and
salvage enterprises that have
been instituted in some areas,
Adm. Giracey said there had
always been commercial
salvors and the Coast Guard
has always deferred to com
mercial towers when they
were om the scene at sea and
lives were not at stake.
Thei.-e are some very com

petent firms, he said, and
there are others who won’t go
offshore or won’t go out at
night or in storms. There is a
wide range in the availability
and cost of service and there
are no prescribed standards
or controls. “Part of the pro
blem,” he added, “is that our
Coast Guard people have the
equipment and experience to
make the difficult look easy
and this may encourage ill
equipped or marginally
qualified people to enter the
field.”
As for the Coast Guard pay
ing its own way, the admiral
said the service returns
benefits to the Gross National
Product at a rate eight times
its annual expense to the tax
payers. Last year the service
saved lives and property and
performed a variety of other
sevices valued at some sl6
billion while operating on a
budget of only $2 billion.
Adm. Gracey emphasized
that the Coast Guard is a
multi-mission, fast response
organization. Any vessel or
plane at any time must be
capable of performing
several functions
simultaneously. It could be
preventing an accident, res
cuing a survivor, intercepting
drug smugglers, protecting
our fisheries, containing an oil
spill, insuring the integrity of
our aids to navigation, and at
the same time maintaining
the military readiness of the
crew as part of our nation’s
defense forces.

Safety Hazards To Avoid
Most people are aware of
routine summertime health
hazards such as sunburn, but
many of us aren’t so savvy
about other hazards stemm
ing from warm weather pic
nics, swimming and camping.
If you’re planning a picnic
it’s wise to remember that
bacteria multiply much faster
in lukewarm foods. The North
Carolina Medical Society
urges you to keep cold foods
cold and hot foods hot.
Swimming is splendid exer
cise, but those with sinus or
ear trouble should be
especially careful about
swimming. Swimmers should
also know that the water
they’re using is not polluted.
A clear mountain stream
could be loaded with germs.

Tax Refunds
WASHINGTON, D.C- In
dividual federal income tax
refunds averaged a record of
$740 for 1982, up from $712 for
1981, according to the Internal
Revenue Service.
Tax-deductible contribu
tions to Individual Retirement
Accounts (IRAs) were part of
the reason.
At the beginning of 1982,
everyone who works for a liv
ing became eligible to invest
up to $2,000 a year in an IRA,
and the IRS says about 11 per
cent of taxpayers cut their
1982 tax liability by doing just
that.
Eventually, of course, taxes
are paid on IRAs, but not un
til withdrawals begin ~ usual
ly after retirement, when
most people are in a lower tax
bracket. Unftfthen, contribu
tions and earnings can grow
untaxed, which can make
quite a difference in the size
of a retirement nestcgg. (If
you didn’t put another penny
in, a $740 tax refund check
paying 10 per cent a year for
30 years would grow to
$12,913. The same amount
placed in a taxable invest
ment paying the same rate
would grow, over the same
period, to $5,633, for someone
in the 30 per cent tax
bracket).

Labor Laws For Teenagers
As the school year ends,
many young people are look
ing for or beginning summer
work.
The U.S. Department of
Labor says that while the
variety of work open to youths
is wide, federal child labor
laws do place certain limita
tions on the hours they may
work and the kinds of jobs
they may hold.
According to James E. Pat
ching, regional administrator
for employment standards,
U.S. Department of Labor,
Atlanta, when both federal
and state laws apply to a
situation, the more stringent
law prevails.
Under the federal Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
enforced by the Labor
Department’s Wage and Hour
Division, child labor provi
sions do not apply to anyone
age 18 and over.
At 16 and 17 years of age,
youth may be employted,
without a limit on hours work
ed, in any nonagricultural oc
cupation other than those that
have been declared hazar
dous by the secretary of
labor. Hazardous occupations
include:
- Working with explosives
and radioactive materials;
- Operating certian power
driven woodworking,
metalworking, bakery and
paper products machinery;
- Operating various types of
power-driven saws and
guillotine shears;
- Operating most power
driven hoisting apparatus,
such as non-automatic freight
elevators, fork lifts and
cranes;
- Operating certain power
driven meat processing
machines; or most jobs in
slaughtering and meat pack
ing establishments;
• Most jobs in mining, roof
ing, demolition and
excavation;
- Operating motor vehicles
or working as outside helper
on motor vehicles ;
• Most jobs in logging and
sawmill operations; and
- Most jobs in the manufac
ture of bricks, tiles and
-similar products.
Workers 14 and 15 years ofl
age can be, employed in a!
variety of jobs such as
clerical and office work;
various retail and food ser
vice jobs; and errand and

most processing occupations,
operating or tending most
power-driven machinery, and
public messenger services. In
work connected with
warehousing, storage,
transportation, communica
tions, public utilities, and con
struction, they may hold of
fice jobs.
From June 1 through Labor
Day, when school is not nor
mally in session, those age 14
or 15 may work between 7
A.M. and 9 P.M., but not more
than eight hours a day or
more than 40 hours a week.
The child labor provisions
do not apply to children who
deliver newspapers to con
sumers; perform in
theatrical, motion picture or
broadcast productions; or
work for their parents, except
in manufacturing or hazar
dous nonagricultural
occupations.
Laws pertaining to farm
employment are somewhat
different. Youth 16 or older
have no restriction; 14- and
15-year olds may work outside
of school hours in any farm
job other than those declared
hazardous by the secretary of
labor; and 12- and 13-year
olds may work nonhazardous
jobs outside of school hours
with written parental consent
or on a farm that also
employs the parents. Minors
under 12 may work in
nonhazardous agricultural
jobs outside school hours with
written parental consent on
farms that have no employees
who have to be paid the
minimum wage.
Certain hazardous farm
work may be done by youth 14
and 15 years old who have
received certificates for
satisfactory completion of
special 4-H or vocational
agriculture training courses.

ly to children of any age work
ing on a farm owned or
operated by their parents.
Most state child labor laws
require employers to obtain *
employment or age cer- “
tificates (work permits) for
minor employees. The federal
Fair Labor Standards Act ,
contains no such require
ment. However, employers
who make it a practice to ob
tain permits can protect
themselves from unitentional- '
ly violating the law.
Minors covered by the Fair /
Labor Standards Act must be "
paid the same minimum
wage, $3.35 per hour, as
adults, unless the employer
obtains a student certificate
from the Wage and Hour Divi
sion. Student workers for
whom such certificates have
been secured may legally be
paid 85% of the minimum
wage. ,
Additional information on
child labor restrictions and
hazardous occupations is ,
available from local offices of
the Wage and Hour Division
