63.478 certilicates were issued dur
i ing the year as compared with
55,713 in 1945. Handling such a
volume of applications would have
been practically impossible without
the splendid cooperation and as
sistance received lrom the county
departments of public welfare.
k 1 : 1 ',, in some states the issuance of
certificates is done by the schools
but it has long been felt in North
Carolina that the system used here
operates most smoothly and ef
fectively. The natural interest of
county welfare agencies in chil

department for information on em
ployment as well as a place to reg
ister complaints against employ
ment conditions, makes this local
agency the logical one to issue
permits.
There are few instances in
which the State child employment
standards and the federal Act dif
fer. There are some exceptions,
however, and no certificate will be
issued if the holder would be em
ployed under conditions prohibited
by the federal standards.
Issuing employment certificates
to minors involves a great deal of
investigation and clerical work on
the part of the staffs of 100 county
departments of public welfare.

lities provided by the welfare de
partments. Welfare units all over the State
should be commended for the ef
ficient manner in which they have
handled the issuance of employ
ment certificates during recent
years, especially for their fine
work during the war when the num
ber of minors certified for work
rose to an all-time high.
Even after the employment cer
tificates have been issued; the lo
cal welfare department may revoke
them if it is later found that the
place of employment is a breeding
ground for delinquency or injuri
ous to child health. There are oc
casional instances in which this ac
tion is taken by the welfare depart
ment. The Department ht 'tsaborhas fts
own investigative staff to check on
violations of the labor laws, but
some instances of violation of the
Child Labor Law are occasionally
investigated by the local welfare
Usually, however.
such violations are referred to the
Department of Labor, whose inspec
tors are specifically trained in the
law and in methods of bringing
violators into compliance through
voluntary agreement or, if neces
sary, through legal action.
Applications for employment cer
tificates for minors must be ac
companied by a promise of em
ployment by the prospective em
ployer, evidence proving the child
is of proper age, a statement from
a physician as to his physical fit
ness, and the child's school record
from the school last attended. On
the basis of information contained
in these documents, the county
welfare department passes upon is
suance of the employment certifi
cate. The close contact of the welfare
departments with working condi
tions in the community makes it
easier for them to determine wheth
er a particular establishment offers
safe and healthy conditions of em
ployment for the minor than it
would be if permits were issued
from a district office or from
Raleigh.
Hitler's Yacht To
Be Turned Into Hotel
LONDON (Reuters) Hitler's
1.000,000 lb. yacht Grille is to be
renamed Winston Churchill and
turned into a floating hotel, ac
cording to the Daily Express.
It has been bought for $272,000
from the Admiralty by a theater
magnate.
The Grille, 3,600 tons, was built
by Bohm and Voss at Hamburg
in 1934 and presented to Hitler
as a gift from the German nation.
British Marines captured it at
Trondheim, Norway, in May of
last year.
Preserved in the ship's book are
signatures of Goring and Goebbcls
as well as dozens of quislings and
collaborators.
Hitler's cabin and his day room
are decorated in linnet egg blue.
During the war years the yacht
was used as an armed commerce
raider and was the operational base
ship for German U-botes operating
from Norwegian waters.
Population Doubles
Puerto Rico' population has more
than doubled under Uncle Sam'f
tewardship, and now totals almost
two million 540 people to the

Plentiful and the soil is intensively
'armed from the shores almost to
the summits of mountains, which
rise to 4,000 feet near Ibe island's

Radioactive Chemicals
From Bikini Bomb
Reported At Frisco
SAN FRANCISCO,- Radioactive
chemicals, presumably from the
July 1 atomic bomb test at Bikini,
have been detected over San Fran
cisco, University of California Hos
pital scientists said this week.
The amounts were too small to
affect human beings a.nd "would
have to be increased many hun
dreds or thousands of limes" to be
come dangerous, they said.
The increase was detected about
100 hours after the first A-bomb
blast at Bikini, 4,700 miles from
San Francisco.
"This was about the right time
for the stuff to reach here from
Bikini," the scientists reported, us
ing as a basis the time it took radio
activity to be picked up in Wash
ington after the New Mexico test.
