This was today's word to young westerners from Frank J. Muench, regional director of the U.S. Labor Department's Wage & Hour division. One type of employment which is often open to young workers during the holidays is in retail stores. The Federal law has nothing against 14. and 15-year-olds working in a variety of occupations in retail food service, or gasoline service establishments, provided they work no more than 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week during vacation periods. In weeks when school is in session, these boys and girls may work no more than 3 hours a day or 18 hours a week. All their work must be done outside school hours and they may not work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. Jobs may include selling, office work, window trimming, cashiering, bagging and carrying out orders, clean-up work, price marking and tagging, and kitchen work. The older job-seeker will find a wide range of jobs open, since 18 years is the minimum age for general employment under the federal wage-hour law. The 16- or 17-year-old may work in manufacturing and processing jobs or in any other occupation — except those which have been declared hazardous for minors under 18 by the Secretary of Labor. Of the 17 occupations with an 18-year age minimum, two in particular are found in a wide variety of industries and businesses, including retail stores. young people differ, the higher standards should be observed. Labor Commissioners in many states can give the answer on state child-labor laws. Muench reminded employers that the Fair Labor Standards Act also sets minimum wage and overtime pay standards, which apply to all covered employees regardless of age. For employment under traditional coverage of the Act, the with overtime due at one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay after 40 hours a week. In employment brought under the law by the minimum wage is $1.25 an hour 1961 amendments, which principally includes work in large retail and service establishment; the minimum wage is presently $1.00 an hour. Overtime is due after 44 hours in a workweek. "After the holidays are over, Muench added, 'employee should encourage teenagers to return to school and continue their education.'" The U.S. Labor Department Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions' regional office has additional information on the provisions of the Federal law. It is located at 630 Sansom Street, San Francisco, California. Field offices are located in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Los Beach, and Whitier. HELLO! For those of you who have never seen this paper — and there should be about 5,000 of you, in addition to the 9,000 regular Gazette families in other parts of town — we are a locally edited and published newspaper going back in Anaheim's history to before the orange groves.

The 16- or 17-year-old may work in manufacturing and processing jobs or in any other occupation — except those which have been declared hazardous for minors under 18 by the Secretary of Labor. Of the 17 occupations with an 18-year age minimum, two in particular are found in a wide variety of industries and businesses, including retail stores. These are jobs as a motor vehicle driver or helper, and as an elevator operator. Work involving riding a freight elevator, unless it is run by an assigned operator, is also prohibited to minors under 18. Employers can protect themselves against unintentional violation of the law by obtaining and keeping on file an age or employment certificate for each minor they employ. This shows the minor to be at least the minimum age for the occupation in which he is employed. Such certificates are issued in California by local school officials. Many holiday jobs, including some in local retail stores, would not come under the Federal law but might be subject to provisions of the State law. Employers should therefore take special care to check on the standards of their State law before employing young workers. If the State and Federal standards for the employment of After being flooded with "phony mail" from his State on a recent occasion, U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California has proposed a law under which heavy fines and jail sentences could be handed persons using false names or addresses on communications to Congress.

Carlson, the composer of Kuchel's measure, is ranking minority member of the Senate Post Office Committee.

City Attorney Joseph Giesler reported to the council Tuesday that negotiations are well along for buying a 5-acre parcel to add to the 10 acres the city now owns just off the corner of Orange and Western.
