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.

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-

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.

Do You Know?
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

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.
