Employers Must Remember
16-Year Minimum Age Limit
Raleigh? With summer vacations
now in progress (or school child
ren, many of whom are seeking va
cation jobs, North Carolina em
ployers today were reminded of the
l&year minimum age limit for
most industrial type jobs under
the Federal Wage and Hour Law.
State Labor Commissioner Frank
Crane cautioned employers that if
they are engaged in interstate
commerce, or if their products
move in interstate commerce, they
are subject to the child provisions
of the Wage-Hour Law. Crane, as
Labor Commissioner, administers
this law in North Carolina under a
special agreement with the Wage
and Hour Division of the U. S. De
partment of Labor.
"While the Wage and Hour Law
sets a basic minimum age of 16
years for most occupations, it also
makes 18 years the minimum for
certain hazardous occupations, such
as operating power-driven wood
working machinery, including lid
ding machines used in some pack
ing plants, or working as a driv
er, or helper, on a motor-driven ve
hicle," Commissioner Crane stated.
? "The child labor provisions per
mit the employment of 14 and 15
year olds in non-manufacturing and
non-mining jobs such as in offices
and sales work," Crane continuued,
"but they may not be employed
for more than eight hours a day or
over 40 hours a week when schools
are closed, nor more than three
hours a day or 18 hours a week
when schools are in session. Dur
ing school vacations, children of
any age may work at non hazar
dous farm jobs.
"Children 14 and 15 years of age
may be employed in packing sheds
in non-manufacturing and non-pro
cessing occupations in workrooms
where no manufacturing or pro
cessing, such as making boxes, is
carried on, provided certain condi
tions are met," Crane said. "They
cannot work in rooms where lid
ding machines are being operated.
Those 16 and 17, however, can
work in the rooms where the lid
ding machines are operating, but
they ire not permitted to oper
ate power-driven machines."
Commissioner Crane pointed out
that prospective employers . of
young people can protect them
selves against unintentional viola
tions ot the law by obtaining em
ployment or age certificates for
each minor employed Iron (heir
local Superintendent of Public
Welfare.
Employers who are in doubt
about the Wage -Hour L -:7 require
ments with regard to specific jobs
performed by minors under 18
years of age may obtain answers
to their questions by contacting the
State Department of Labor in Ra
leigh or any of the Department's
field offices located in Asheville,
charlotte, Greensboro, and Golds
boro, Commissioner Crane said.
Croup is Told
Noise Hurts Work
Detroit (AP) ? Loud and
steady factory noise reduces work
output, hurts work quality, often
leads to lots of hearing and. affects
the employe's general health, a
safety conference was told. Dr.
Floyd A. Vanatta, National Safety
Council field consultant, told the
24th annual Michigan Safety Con
ference that noise can and should
be controlled. Some industries, he
said, are doing it.
Some are equipping buildings
with noise-absorbing materials
and giving empoyes ear plugs. Dr.
Vanatta said that hearing damage
occurs at 80 decibels of noise and
bursting of the ear drum ax 140
decibels.
"Eighty dicibels of noise are
not hard to reach," he said "You
will come close to it at a fairly
noisy cocktail party."
About 9 per cent of the land area
of Connecticut and of Massachu
setts is classified as urban.

Milestone
y Raleigh - The State Highway
Patrol paswd ita 25th milestone
thia month In a mood rominiacofu
of the day It was organized ? quiet
efficiency.
No fanfare marked the first day
of July on patrol boas James R.
Smiths calendar although the
tough minded patrol skipper
"noted" the date for reporters.
The 530- man highway patrol
(raw from a nucleus of IT officers
and men who stood stiffly at atten
tion July 1, 1939 on Capitol
Square In Raleigh and received
their rom missions
Capt Charles D. Farmer, who
died in 1949, was the patrol's first
commanding officer. In the early
daya the patrol ?aa divided into
groups of three troopers and a
lieutenant ? one group for each
of the nine existing highway dis
tricts. The troopers were under
the State Highway and Public
Works Commission until 1933.
The mid-thirties patrolman retri
ed the highways on a motorbike
although the lieutenants fared
somewhat better. Officers in those
days drove a wire wheeled Model
A coupe.
Radio communication and auto
mobiles for all didn't come In until
the late 30's. Among the first autos
I.1 ~L r r " ?' - j ?? ?? ?
to be delivered to the patrol were
silver-aided Ford convertible!.
What time the veteran highway
officer* had oH was oftentimes
spent inapecttng retail gasoline
outlets, testing automotive equip
ment and collecting bad cheeks
involved in state business trans
actions.
Ti mil i Made
The patrol was separated from
the Highway Commission in 1933
and assigned to the Revenue De
partment. Strength by IMS had
risen to 121, an increase due main
ly because of the brand new dri
vers license law paused the same
year. Additional troopers were
needed to enforce Its provisions.
Two years later a communica
tions branch was added to the
patrol, thus making Instantaneous
radio messages possible between
cruising cars and their station. To
day the patrol's communications
network Includes 10 FM transmit
ting stations, one of which is loca
ted on Mt. -Mitchell, the highest
radio transmitter in eastern Ameri
ca.
In 1937 the General Assembly
authorized the commissioning of
i major to head the expanded or
ganization. Legislation was also
paused requiring that all school
bus drivers be examined and cer
tified by a patrol fficer.
During the mid and late thirty
there were only slightly more than
a halt million vehicles traveling
North Carolina hlgfewi>i. The
death rate Itom traffic accident* In
1037 was 1,123, the second highest
number of highway fatalities on
record.
New Bepertmenl
In the first year of World War,
II, the Department of Motor Ve
hicle* was created and the high
way patrol subsequently was
brought under the supervision of
the vehicles agency. At the same
time additional funds were appro
priated for the employment of 2S
more troopers, bringing strength
up to 213.
By 1M0 the patrol numbered
423.
Today, at full authorised
strength (330) the North Carolina
State Highway Patrol is the largest
in the southeast It recently ha*
taken steps unmatched by any
other state to protect life and pro
perty on the highway.
Pioneer Patrol
First to make extensive, full
time use of radar and electronic
s|teed controls, one of the first to
employ saturation patrols, first
to use traffic cameras in enforce
ment work, and first to promote
driver training classes for em
ployees in business and industry,
the Tar Heel patrol is now re
organized generally as one of the
most proggreaaivc in the nation.
Only recently, from the petrol" ?
statistical unit, came ward that
traffic fatalitlea for the fir* Ac
months of the year wen more
than 100 below laat year. Aad
average speeds an North Carolina
roads have declined to a tow of
443 miles per hour, the loweat
since 1946.
Ten members of the patrol buu
received their commissions July 1.
1929 are still on active service.
They are Col. James It Smith,
commanding; Ma}. D. T. Lambert,
