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.

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.

Postcard Received Promptly
Mr. and Mrs. Curt Gerhard t,
Applet te, nave new regard for
the United States postal service.
Recently they received a post
al card from friends vacationing
in Texas. The card, which ar
rived five days after mailing,
bore no sign of address other
than the Del Rio, Tex., post
mark. It did bear their first
names and the first names of
the friends. '
The Gerhard as were amazed
at such quick delivery, since
there was no indication of an
Oregon destination on the card.
Also, they have been informed,
the card had to pass through
the hands of seven department
employees and be emptied from
a sack seven times before it

The card arrived at the home
of the son of the friends who
brought it to the Gerhardts.
Explanation of the postal serv
ice's success in delivery prob
ably lay in the fact that two
other cards were mailed, prob
ably at the same time, to other
Applegate residents and were
fully addressed. The Gerhardt's
