meet a standard because of unavail
ability of personnel, equipment, or time
to build or alter facilities, a variance
from a standard for a one-year period
can be obtained. The variance can
be renewed to a maximum of three
years. However, to obtain such a vari

gram for achieving compliance, and
must take all available safeguarding
steps while the variance is in effect.
Imminent Danger
A plant can be shut down because
of “imminent danger” only by court
order. “Imminent danger” is defined

immediately or before the danger can
be eliminated through enforcement
procedures otherwise provided by the
Act.

Jurisdiction

submitting a state plan that at least
meets federal standards and is approved
by the U. S. Secretary of Labor.
Enforcement procedures of the new
act immediately apply to the Walsh-
Healey Act. Standards under the Walsh-
Healey Act, and other legislation now
governing working conditions, will be
superseded when corresponding stand

Secretary of Labor are issued under
the new Act.
Records Required

tain and make available to either the
Secretary of Labor, or the Secretary
of HEW, records which might assist
in enforcement of the act, in develop
ment of information which might help
prevent occupational accidents and li'
nesses.

“Jubilation” Shag
“Jubilation is a happy name for a
happy carpet,” according to Mr. Dale.
“It’s a luxurious Kara-loc woven wool
shag that differs from the ordinary by
featuring random flecks of accent color
on a solid ground rather than the usual
overall solid or tweedy multi-color. In
many respects, it has the flavor of Scan
dinavian rya rugs with a special ‘in
formal elegance’.”
The informality is borne out by the
names for the 16 skein-dyed colorings
in Jubilation. They include Do Grey Mi,
Yum Yuml Yellow, Frisky Whiskey,
Ginger Snap, Entertain Mint, Upsy
Daisy and Not Quite White.
Jubilation will be offered in both
