The\ will b. rterested in the development that under its provisions no ch:id Jndci t- years ? f aire will ho at liberty engage in labor on the farm. It is rather an unthinkahlo propositi' n, hi:' that is just the :bi? iT the prom-NT- of he National child labor law i: aiming t-? do. Th.es ehildjt* ?;.

In order to secuie i certificate there would be foui reqiusites: First, conclusive proof <i the child - age; second the physical ability "f the applicant and fourth the kind of work to he engaged *n Under the third requisite a Federal agent would examine the child under to detcrmmfe whether o: not it has stefiirlent education to comply with the requirements of the bureau and if it did not the application for certificate would be rejected. In the sooth we have raar.y hundreds ?f negroes who fail or refuse to take advantage of the public school system, and would be thrown upon the community without work. But what woui die lead to? What is the next step? Major Bulwinkle suggested "that there may be children with one or both parent- dead who are unable *.o g<? to school on account of the lack of money. Congress will then be asked to pass laws granting widows* pensions and bounties foi children in order that they may attend school until they have reached the required age/' The proponents of the bill argued that Longress would never prohibit the labor of children on the farms," but Bulwinkle wanted to know \vh\ then, the necessity for giving (.'or. gre^s that power? Re contended that the Federal government had always assumed all the powers granted it "and a little more besides." Con gressxnan Pou made argument against the bill and emphasize dthe same point. He was interrupted by Congressman Connally of Texas, whe wanted to know if Bulwinkle and Pou were not correct, "why would congress in this amendment, demand the power unless it did intend to exercise it? But labor organizations and women's organizations and women's organizations had lobbied the amendment into life and it was passed in the house by a vote of 297 for to 69 against. Whyfore the Observer, is anticipating, there is going to be a good deal of reading and thinking among the rural population over a newly sprung prospective situation on the farms.

Cut Off Roads Around Large Cenj ters Modern Practice In th?' days of the horse, main arteries of travel naturally entered citI ies at the most convenient place and travel along the highway passed down . Main Street without slowing up. The horse drawn vehicle could get thru . a city as fast as it could travel the country road. With the advent of the swift moving car and auto trucks. | conditions changed. Through traffic | on roads is generally slowed up in J the city, due to crossings, congestion.! narrow streets. ?ne way streets, stop-j | ping for pedestrians and street cars. ^ etc. Jm addition through traffic brougt, through a city adds largely to the city's traffic problem. ^ The modern idea is to divert thru ! I traffic around large centers. The few additional miles thus traveled are; more r han made up tor in the dei crease of time. Thus a by pass or | | cut off which lengthens the through. route ten miles, may add thirty min-j utes to the running time; but where r n iFMMiMr.<; ? -. ^ J * t At 1 DENTIST (Office Over Watauga County Bank1!
