Kilkenny, newly confirmed appointee to the nine-man 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, whose headquarters are in San Francisco. It is well for him to be a person of patience and perseverance, as this has been at least two years in coming. People of this area have every right to be proud of the fact that Judge Kilkenny's "grass roots" were planted here. It was on the Eastern Oregon ranches that he roamed during his boyhood, and after 10 years in prep school and college, returned to Pendleton with a law degree in 1925. During his 30 years as a trial lawyer, he gained an ad mirable reputation in Oregon, southeast Washington and Idaho. He has been a person of many interests, ranging from an avid football fan to duck hunting, and from a devoted grandfather of seven grandchildren, to a dedicated historian. This is pointed out by his desires to restore the Old Pioneer Courthouse in Portland and his devotion to the Oregon His torical Society. Those who know Judge Kilkenny's qualities and exper iences, his background and professional ability have been boosting for him ever since the vacancy has existed. He and his wife, the former Virginia Brannock, will continue to make their home in Portland, and he will commute to San Fran cisco or any of the other cities where the court might sit, following like procedure of two other judges in California and one in Seattle. We hope Oregon can always "claim" Judge Kilkenny, and that he will keep that "soft spot in his heart" for friends and happy memories of Eastern Oregon. INFORMATION ABOUT WAGE EARNERS' RIGHTS FROM TH8 OREGON BUREAU OF LABOR NORMAN O.NIISEN COMMISSIONER (Mm In administering Oregon's minimum wage law, the state Bureau of Labor follows many administrative directives of the Wage and Hour Commission as provided in the law. According to Norman O. Nil sen, the State Labor Com mis sioner, one of the provisions of tne minimum wage law gives the Wage and Hour Commission the power to set a lower mini mum wage than that prescrib ed in the statute for certain types of persons such as those mentally or physically disabled or C5 years of age and over. The Commission has set the rate of pay for these certain types of persons at 85 cents an hour. Here are some questions which have been posed to Nil sen and members of the Bur eau of Labor staff about the Wage and Hour Commission and the answers to these questions. Question: What is the power of the Wage and Hour Commis sion in regard to prescribing working conditions for women? Answer: The Commission msy issue rules prescribing minimum conditions of employment for women as may be necessary for the preservation of the health of women employees. Examples of such rules are minimum meal and periods and rest periods maximum hours. Question: What is the power of the Commission in regard to minors (persons under 18 years of age)? Answer: The Commission may Inquire into wages or hours or work conditions lor minors em ployed in any occupation and determine suitable wages, hours and conditions of labor for such minors.

The Rhyming Philosopher INCENTIVE How often I've heard some young person complain There aren't enough hours in the day To reach those oblectives they hope to attain And not interfere with their play. But the weeks and the months and the years slither by. And scarcely accomplish a thing, While yesterday's dream they discard, with an eye On something tomorrow may bring. Certain scientists state that a man can expect To double his normal life's span With health and the function to still walk erect And do all the things that we plan. But I entertain doubts that it's time that we need So much as the will to begin; For it isn't the drive and it Isn't the speed That gives the incentive to win. And it isn't the year or the month or the day, Nor all of the time up ahead. But it's those precious minutes we fritter away, We could use for profit instead. And the older we grow the more surely we know That time asks no questions, but How? So forget about yesterday get up and go For time isn't future it's NOW! HARRY W.
