Conference workers exempted
from minimum wage
Leading a coalition of
Democrats and his own
Republican allies, Senator
Jesse Helms has obtained
unanimous approval of an
amendment to protect sum
mer camps and religious and
non-profit conference
centers from Federal wage
hour regulations.
North Carolina probably has
the largest concentration of
conference centers in the
nation, including Ridgecrest
(Baptist), Blue Ridge (YM
CA) and many more.
These facilities traditionally
hire some 50,000 seasonal
employees, principally
students, to work in the^
summer in a “work-study play’
program.
It had long been assumed
that these employees fell into
the seasonal “recreational
and amusement establish
ment’ exemption, but the
Department of Labor had
begun denying the exemption
because of the educational
aspects of their program.
The American Camping
Association also sought
assurance that the numbers of
camps with educational
emphasis would continue to be

excluded. Application of the
overtime pay requirements to
cabin-counsellors would have
virtually closed down the
summer camping industry
with its 360,000 seasonal
employees nationwide.
The Helms amendment was |
principally co-sponsored by j
Democratic Majority Whip
Alan Cranston of California. 1
Senators Morgan, Sparkman, I
Stone, Byrd of Virginia, |
Hayakawa, McClure and
Hatch were also co-sponsors.
Where the Department of I
Labor had interpreted the law |
against religious and
educational conference
centers, employment for I
youth had been cut 25 per cent
and prices for conferences
raised 35 per cent.
Frank Washburn of Black
Mountain, President of the
International Association of
Conference Center Ad
ministrators was jubilant:
“This particular exemption
will provide increased op
portunity for a growing
number of teenagers and
young adults for employment
throughout the United States
in religious conference cen
ters which provide for their
personal and spiritual growth.'
Senator Helms emphasised
that the employees being
exempted are not bread
winners, but supplemental
wage earners.
“Since many of these
temporary Jobs have un
certain horns, and since room
and board and recreation are
really a large part of the
experience, the hours of work
restrictions and overtime
requirements for such per
sonnels cabin counsellors, as
well as hourly wages, simply
do not fit the camp and con
ference reality,'he noted.
Flue-Cured
Tobacco Use
Shows Drop
There is good news and bad
news .in the most recent
tobacco statistics from the
U.S. Department of |
Apiculture.
For North Carolina, the
largest producer of flue-cured I
tobacco, the discouraging |
news is that both exports and
domestic use of flue-cured 1
declined 4 per cent during the |
past marketing year.
This trend is expected to
continue this season.
(hi the brighter side, sale
of loan stock tobacco has been
brisk, helping to take some of
the pressure off the loan
program, which sometimes is
a target of anti-tobacco peo
ple.
The sales of loan stock leaf,
plus the fact that 1977
production is down sharply,
total carryover next July 1 is
expected to decline.
The supply of burley
tobacco is slightly above that
of a year ago, according to
the USDA.
