Wage-Hour Official
Reminds Farmers Of
Chi!d-Labor Law
Dallas. — Farmers v.'ho hire
workers for harvesting fall crops
were reminded that the Federal
Fair Labor Standards Act sets a
16-year age minimum for the
employment of children in agri-
culture during school hours.
The reminder came from Reg-
ional Director William J. Rogers
of the U. S. Department of
Labor's Wage and Hour and Pub-
j Jic Contracts Divisions here, the
agency which administers this
law.
"Today and in the foresee-
able future, the need for young-
sters to meet even higher educa-
tional standards is beyond ques-
tion," he said. "The child's
chance for success in later years
can depend cn whether he en-
rolls in school this fall."
Mr. Rogers pointed out that
children may lawfully work on
farms before and after school
! hours or on week-ends, but that
their place is in the classroom
when school is in session in the
; school district where the child is
currently living
"The law protects the children
of migratory workers as well as
local children, ' he said. "The
only exception to the law is the
child working exclusively f..r his
parents or guardian."
An age certificate showing
'hat the youngster is at least 16
is the best protection the farmer
can have against inadvertent
violation. In Texas, these certifi-
cates are available, as a public
-H'vice. from local Texas Em-
ployment Commission offices.
He added that the Federal
child-labor law applies to farm-
! ers who engage in interstate com- !
rr.erce or ship their products in :
interstate commerce, either di-
rectly or to firms who ship them j
across State lines in their original !
form or as an ingredient of an-
other product.

61 traffic crashes; one of these
crashes resulted in a death. 14
r<. ulted in personal injury, and
th. remaining 46 caused serious
Pi' pert;, damage. The by-pro-
duc of the 61 area crashes for the
m<'[.th of July were: one person
killed. 23 more injured, and a
combined vehicle damage re-
ported to be $31,920.00.
F' r the first seven months of
1960, Sgt. McVean reported a to-
tal of 3*4 rural crashes in his
.irea. The result <,f these crashes
were 18 persons killed. 205 in-
jured. and a combined vehicle
damage reported as $261,979.00.
Thi- compares to a total of 336
accidents for tht' same period of
1959. These 335 rural crashes in
19 !) resulted in 1!) persons being
killed. 181 injured and vehicle
damage amounting to $235,103.00.
"So far this year we are about
holding our own. accident wise,
:ts compared to last year," Sgt.
McVean continued. There are a
number of lives, yet to be saved
or lost, in this area, depending
on what you and 1 do over the
next few months. We, in the De-
partment of Public Safety, will
continue a program of strict ru-
ral traffic law supervision. This
program will not, however, be
effective unless it is given the
full support of the driving pub-
lic in general.
"We in the Department of Pub-
lic Safety urge you to assist us in
this endeavor so that we may
finish the year i960 and be able
to show a saving of the most
precious thing in the world—that
of HUMAN LIVES," Sgt. McVean
concluded.

Nearly 400^000 Texas Families are
partners in a noble undertaking that
celebrates its silver anniversary this
year.
They are the member-owners of the
clectric cooperatives that serve the rural
areas of the Lone Star State. They bor-
rowed money at interest to build their
own electric systems. They created a
multi-billion doliar market for electric
appliances with main street merchants.
They brought the blessings of electricity
to areas that might stiii be dark hod
it not been for the cooperative effort.
They accompiished these wonderful
things white repaying principal and
interest on their toons ... often ahead
of scheduie.
The etectric cooperatives of Texas
can point with pride to an efficient,
dependabte, eiectric service providing
