Permits Not Obtained In the past month eight minors have filed claims under the work men's compensation law for in juries suffered on the job. Half of these claims were filed by minors whose employers had not obtained permits for their em ployment from the labor depart ment, and therefore were illegal ly employed. One claim involved a head injury to a 15-year-old boy working in a bowling alley. Serious accidents in which three illegally employed 16-year-olds were casualties were report ed in the last half year. One of the youths, working on a logging operation in Lane county, suffer ed a crushed leg which had to be amputated. A second lost an index finger in a punch press. A third was fatally burned in a garage explosion caused while he was using a cleaning solvent in a closed room having an open fire. Kimsey Cites Fact Kimsey, who administers the federal and state child labor laws, said these mishaps, oc curring during illegal employ ment, pointed up that fact that responsible employers, who get labor department work permits for employees under 18 years of age, usually have safe opera tions and adequate supervision. Late Snow Retards Lumber Recovery Salem (U.R) Late snows re tarded spring recovery in Ore gon logging and sawmill opera tions, the State Unemployment Compensation commission said Thursday. Recovery from seasonal lay offs continued through February and early March but received a setback in mid-March when snow and cold weather halted operations in the higher regions. Late snows also cut down gains in construction, the com mission said. Non-agricultural employment, as reported by some 1,200 em ployers, increased by 4,400 last month and nearly as much early in March but still lagged slightly behind 1951 figures. Illinois' representative in Stat uary hall in the Capitol at Wash ington is a woman, Frances E. Willard. V Oregon Fanners Warned Against 'Subtle Poverty' Corvallis (UJ9 Oregon farm ers should be constantly alert against the "subtle encroachment of poverty'' into farm life, Paul V. Maris, former director of the farm ownership division of the Farmers Home administration told some 1000 fanners, their wives and extension service lead ers here for a statewide agricul tural conference. Advantage Enjoyed - Maris said Oregon farmers en joyed the advantage of being able to plan the future of the state's agricultural program. Ore gon is the only state having a iarm planning conference on a statewide basis, he said. The agricultural conference which opened at Oregon State college Thursday is the first statewide meeting since 1923. "Poverty in agriculture is an evil thing and once it fastens itself upon an economy in a wide spread way it is a veritable mill stone around the neck of civiliza tion," said Maris, a former exten sion service director at the college. He warned that small, un profitable farms may be the side door through which poverty may enter Oregon. The conference' will continue through Saturday noon. Princi pal speaker at Friday's session will be Dr. Tyrus R. Timm, agri cultural economist at Texas A it M college.
