Hmne Agent* Narrative Report ForDecember m .1? p- afi m- gr^7-. The Return of the Fee Deputy The county commissioners in their regular monthly meet ing Tuesday morning made one decision which we consider unwise and not to the best interests of the people of the county. We refer to their decision to allow the two rural policemen, CrawTord Wright and Harry Dees, to collect fees on their arrests. They had hitherto been on a straight salary basis since the commissioners authorized rural policemen last February. We don’t take issue with the board on the fact that Wright and Dees need more money. We do think that if they need more money the board should have raised their salaries rather than return to the systern of allowing them a fee for each conviction. This system puts the officer in the position of having a\pe^nal interest in each arrest, instead of having an unbiased interest solely in the enforcement of the law^ In the past the fee system has caused considerable unfavor able criticism of the law enforcement agencies of the county. We think this criticism was ofteii'justified and don’t doubt in the least that there will be more of the same following the action of the county board of comfnissidners this week. Tarheel In Washington By Lester Baker ' feC'. ItiKi.- ■ Most persons regard as deplora ble today the labor conditions of ' so^ years back which allowed the employment of young, immature children. It was ten years ago that Federal child labor legislation was en- '■ acted. The purpose of this legis- j. lation was to do away with child labor. But still today, labor conditions similiar to those of many years ago are being unearthed by inspectors of Wage and Hour and Public Con tracts Division, U.. S. Department of Labor. The inspectors have found child ren working 60 to 70 hours weekly, and children under 16 years of age in manufacturing occupations. The child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act establish a minimum age of 16 years for ■most jobs; 18 years for jobs de clared particularly hazardous; 14 years for jobs not covered by the 16- or 18-year minimum. Children 14 and 15 years of^e, however, may work not more tiian 18 hours in a pay-roll we^ doiring any part of which schools are in session. On any s^ool day they must not work during school hours or for more than 3 hours. Diming Ihe vacation period they must not work more than 8 hours a day. 40 hours a week, or after 7 p. m. ' l^ploy^s can protect them- ^selves from hiring applicants under legal age by requiring and keep ing on file a work permit or age certificate for each minor they em ploy. first two years, of its , drive against tax evaders have paid the. government $5rbillion. The Farm Bureau is proving to be of great benefit to farmers in North Carolina. This Bureau has worked unceasingly for farm families—to assure them of a fair income from their investment of time, labor, and money. In Nortti Carolina, the Farm Bureau is putting forth a definite effort (a) to obtain construction f all-weather rural roads out of the 'Surplus in the State Midway fund (b) to secure adequate health ai^ hospitalization facili ties for rural areas (c) and to as sist in further expansion of North Carolina’s rural electrification and telephone services. t % The Treasury Department is “hot on the trail” of persons who have attested to evade paying their income taxes. Tax crimes turned up by In ternal Revenue agents are being reported to the Justice Depart ment at the rate of more than 600 a year. Tkis uncovering of such 8 high number of violations is due to a special tax enforcement cam- : paign which is being conducted ;by the Treasury, The Treasury estimates that the It has long been the .desire of President Truipan to initiate a na tional heaUh, program in this country. Such a program has been criticised, opposed, and branded as “socialistic” by many doctors. But when the new Congress con venes in January, the problem of public health is strongly expected to be on the list of MUST legis lation. ' In conection with a national health program, a 10-year plan, designed to develop the health resources of the Nation and to bring some measure of adeqhate medical care within reach of every man, women, and child in this country has. been submitted to President Truman by Oscar R. Ewing, Federal Security Admini strator. As a means of financing th^ 10- year‘ plan, Mr, Ewing has recom mended national health insurance. The health insurance phase of the program would work in the same manned as the present Social Security system. A person now payii^ Social Security would have deducted from his pay check from 1-2 to 1 per cent of the first $4800 of his income. This tax might later be increased to 4 per cent, possibly divided between the employee and employer. 9-- PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lee spent the week-end here in the home of Mr. Lee’s parents, the Rev.
