Many Summer Jobs
Open lo Teen-Agers
Under USDL Wage Law
“Firms that hire teen-agers for
summer jobs can remain in com
pliance with the Federal child
labor law by applying some sim
ple rules” says John R. Dille, re
gional director of the U. S. De
partment of Labor’s Wage and
Hour and Public Contracts Divi
sions.
“Boys and girls of 16 and 17,
just like adult workers, can work
under the Fair Labor Standards
Act in any and all jobs—whether
factories, wholesale houses, com
munications or other industries,
except that they cannot work in
occupations which the Secretary
of Labor has found hazardous to
minors under 18. This is the
ONLY child-labor restriction ap
plying to 16-and 17-year-olds un
der this law. The minimum wage
and overtime provisions of the
Ihw are applicable to both minors
and adults.
“Even children of 14 and 15
may be employed in office and
sales work, in fruit and vegetable
packing sheds, and in some other
kinds of jobs—as long as they
do not work in rooms where
goods are manufactured or pro
cessed, or in manufacturing, min
ing, processing or similar jobs.
“During summer vacation, the
14- or 15-year-old may work as
many as eight hours a day and 40
a week. When school is in session,
much more stringent restrictions
apply. Employers should also
note that the 14- or 15-year-old
is not permitted to wmrk before
7 a. m. or after 7 p-m.”
As to jobs with an 18-year age
minimum, Dille explains that
they include work as a motor
vehicle driver or driver’s helper,
elevator operator, and jobs in
volving riding on a freight ele
vator, unless it is run by an as
signed operator. Also covered by
the 18-year-minimum are most
jobs in logging and saw milling,
and the operation of a variety of
machines.

Hour Field Office, 214 Wilholth
Bldg., 610 C Street, Anchorage.

-HOW TO MAKE
A Sweat Shirt into a Colorful Jacket
— -by Betty Warner -.■■-■■■■.
Bet you never thought a sweat shirt would make fashion news! It
has, and the craze for decorated sweat shirts is sweeping the country.
They’re made at home and worn everywhere, looking smart over slim
slacks, skirts, bathing suits and shorts.
It begins with a sweat shirt, i
preferably one that has been
treated to prevent shrinkage. A
medium or large size of shirt is
best for anyone over a dress size
10. The first step is to cut off the
hipline ribbing and then to cut the
shirt up the center front. Next,
face the edged with extra-wide bias
tape. (This tape is almost an inch
wide, making an excellent finish
for bulky fabrics.) The fir at step,
and the most fun, is to decorate

DON’T BUY ANY CAR BEFORE YOU DRIVE A CHEVY ... ITS BEST SHOWROOM IS THE ROAD.
Beauty in motion-Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Sedan with Body by Fisher.
Here'p why Chevy's best showroom is the road!
Because Chevrolet’s sleek good
looks, its advanced features, are
only part of the story. The big
bonus is its remarkable roada
bility, the crisp precision handling
that has posted an entirely new
standard for cars in every price
class. There are reasons for this,
of course: Chevrolet’s balanced
weight distribution that takes
excessive loads off the front wheels,
the wide stance of outrigger rear
springs, Ball-Race steering, spher
ical-joint front suspension. Sure,
you can admire the sculptured
lines in the showroom. But Chevy’s
a car specifically designed for
beautiful motion—you have to
travel in this one to know just how
terrific it is. Try it, this week!
