Texas Firm Faces
Labor Violation
PLAINVIEW. TEXAS, May
12— The Connor Mathes Co.,
Inc., Plainview, Texas has been
restrained from further viola-
tions of the Fair Labor Stand-
ards Act (Federal wage and
hour law) by terms of an in-
Juction granted in the Lubbock
Division. Northern District Fed-
eral Court by Judge Joseph B.
Dooley.
This firm is engaged in the
wholesale and ret.Ul distribution
of automotive parts and equip-
ment and in automotive machine
work.
The law requires that cover-
ed employees receive at least 40
cents an hour, be paid at least
time and one-half their regular
pay for all hours over 40 worked
in a workweek, restricts the use
of child labor, and requires that
proper employment records be
kept. Cartwright pointed out
that the time and one-half over-
time must be paid on the em-
ployee's regular rate and not
the minimum.
The injunction was based on
charges that the firm had vio-
lated the record keeping and
overtime pay provisions of the
law.

AUSTIN, Tex., May 26 —
Students will receive collcge
credit for catching snakes this
summer in the second annual
University of Texas /.oology
field trip .
In a five-week study course
on animal life in the Trans-Pec-
os-Edwards Plateau region, stu-
dents will substitute guns and
traps for books and collect as
many specimens of wild life as
possible.
Accompanied by Zoology Pro-
fessor W. Frank Blair, 20 stu-
dents will leave June 6 for the
Blackstone Ranch, 15 miles
south of Sheffield, and will con-
tinue their work through July
12.
Specimens will be brought to
the university for addition to the
zoology museum and plants as
well as animals will be included.
I am a book;
Some month ago
I was new, clean.
Was studied and enjoyed.
Saw lamp shade glow;
But now I lie upon the floor.
Professor's Birds
Tasty to Moths
AUSTIN, Texas, May 26.—
While everyone else puts winter
clothes in moth balls, Univer-
sity's zoology museum collection
are carefully stuffed and cata-
logued before they are placed
in departmentalized shelves for
safe keeping
Spread among the brightly
feathered exhibts are crystals
containing th<? same chemical
used in various moth repellents-
Moths and other bugs find the
birds just as appealing a sum-
mer meal as a fur coat or wool
suit and the crystals preserve
them, Dr. Blair says.
