Of this climate a state health PAY ACT COURSE TO TRAIN MEN AS INSPECTORS Washington. -Wege. Hour Adminis- trator Elmer F. Andrews is wrestling with the problems of a school master these days. In its closing hours, Congress voted a deficiency oppropriation of $1,200,000 for the Wage-Hour division, and it is all to be spent on law enforcement— the division now finding itself with 10,000 unanswered complaints of viola- tions on its hands. With this money Andrews will be able to increase his force of inspectors to 500 an dhis litigation force to forty lawyers. But one trouble is that an inspector in this kind of work isn’t much good until he has had some train- ing. And Mr. Andrews is going to have to start his own schools to apply the training. There will be four of them—in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and At- lanta—and they’ll be in operation by the first of September. New inspectors will spend about ten days on their schooling—Ilistening to lectures and getting general instructions, with old- er inspectors as the teachers—before they go out on the road. The new inspectors are being chos- en from the list at the Civil Service Commission offices, where cants took their examination. Before going to school, applicants will be sent out work in company with olde ors so that they can get a fi glimpse of the job before studying about it. It is no secret that the Wage-Heur Division feels mightily relieved over passage of the deficiency appropria- tion. It looked, for a time, as if the money would be denied, and officers of the division predicted that the en- tire law would collapse of its own weight if the money were not forth- coming, The compliance record has not been good so far, and they were afraid if it got much worse all chance of ever enforcing the law would be gone. the appli- most of the for MOUNT ALOYSIUS, SCHOOL OF DISTINCTION, OPENS A NEW JUNIOR COLLEGE September 23 is the date scheduled for the opening of Mount Aloysius Ju- nior College. On this day girls seeking higher education in the fields of lib- eral arts, Secretarial Science, Home Economics, Public School Music Pre-Nursing will be welcomed within | this long established institution. Mount Aloysius was established in | Loretto, Pennsylvania, in 1853 on the | site bequeathed by the Rev. Prince De- | metrius Gallitzin, the Russian noble- man who founded Loretto in 1799. In | 1897 the Academy was transferred to | the present buildings at Cresson. Through the years the school has an- ticipated the needs of the student and now opens its junior college. By this step forward into higher education it will offer to girls in the immediate vi- cinity an opportunity to attend college and enjoy home life; to those whose homes are located farther from the college it offers a splendid residence hall in an atmosphere of study and of play. Bordered ‘by the beautiful ridges of the Alleghenies, situated on the Will- iam Penn Highway, and the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the school has a convenient, pisturesque location. In this climate, 2100 feet ab- ove sea level, there are convenient athletic facilities which bring zest for | successful school work. A spaciou physician says: “The resistance to disease gained by a few years’ resi- dence in Cresson is almost unbelieva- | ble.” Many girls have already taken ad- vantage of the opportunities presented | and have enrolled in the courses of- and | DRIVER HAS CLOSE CALL AS TRUCK DROPS 30 FEET In driving a truck and semi-trailer | 300 feet on top of a cut on the William | Penn highway and then dropping 30 feet over an embankment, Edward L. Sink of Findlay, O., sustained only a small laceration of the nose. Sink was driving a truck loaded with 300 cases of evaporated milk. Al- though the driver was only slightly in- jured, the cargo and truck were dam- aged to the extent of $2,000. Sink was driving on Anderson hill early in the morning. At a point where. the cut is even with the high- way he drove off the road intending to stop. However, the brakes failed to hold and the truck careened along the embankment, finally going over a dis- tance of thirty feet. The accident was investigated by motor police, who de- clared that Sink had a miraculous es- cape from death. FOR SALE—Modern white enamel- | ed Cook Stove.

Proponents of a system of compul- sory health insurance have stressed the medical plight of the people. With the | death rate steadily declining and the average span of life being steadily lengthened under existing arrange- ments it is difficult to see how the people in the United States have been medically neglected, Since 1929 the decrease in the gen eral death rate until 1937 has been 7 per cent. In the same period the ma- ternal death rate has been decreased 30 pe recent. ocratic Primaries for this same office. He supported the ticket as nominated, and has always been an active worker in the party in- terests. This year he is the only candidate of the party from the North of Cambria County seeking nomination, and feels, with his friends, that the North of the County is Entitled to Representation in the Commissioners’ Office. Fair to all, Mr. Hoppel bases his can- didacy on his experience gained as a lumber dealer and building contractor for well over a quarter of a century. EA
