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 dren, coupled with the fact that so i many people ioor 10 me weiiare 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.

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.
