Faith and Perseverance
Congratulations have been long overdue, but they are
now In order for Judge John F. 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.
Question: What are some of
the other powers of the Wage
and Hour Commission?
Answer: It may investigate
and ascertain wages of persons
employed in any occupation. It
can require statements from an
employer, including sworn state
ments with respect to wages.
hours, names and addresses and
other such information pertain
ing to his employes or their em
ployment that the Commission
feels is necessary to carry out
provisions of the minimum wage
act It also can make rules nec
essary to carry out the mini
mum wage law or to prevent
persons from circumventing the
minimum wage law.
If there are further questions,
please write to Norman O. Nil-
sen, State Labor Commissioner,

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!
