The section of the law to which Mr.

Hagner referred, reads as follows: "3616. Sec. 26. Hours of Work; Established; Evidence: No child to whom an employment certificate general or provisional has been Issued shall be employed, permitted or suffered to work in, about or in connection with any establishment or in any occupation for more than six days or more than 48 hours in any one week; nor more than eight hours in any one day; nor without at least 30 minutes' continuous rest between 11:30 a. m.

Only four minutes to go and Joe will give us our speed, the doors will open and we'll start our run and the ship will quiver like a thoroughbred who's been given her head And Bob will center the target and we'll come in and the ten seconds or fifteen will seem like a year before we hear him call "Bombs Away" And then they'll go out of the bay, nose over and fall, and begin their march over the land with the stamp of a giant's tread. This is where I belong Not down there but up here with my ship and my crew in a world of our own. Up here, where the clean, sharp air bites to the bone, I can see things clear. I can see the kids we were, and the team we've become and the men we'll be. Up here in the night, I remember nights with the books when numbers and formulas jumbled and blurred and I couldn't get them into my head.

But I swore that if other men had done it before could, and I would. And all at once they came clear and I understood. And I remember the time when I took over the stick and th ship lost speed and she stalled out and spun and my mouth went dry and my hand shook. And then, my instructor's voice was quiet in my ear and the fear left me for good. And now up here, alone, and all of us closer together than we've ever been, I hear once again the words of a pilot I knew: "I can't tell what it means to fly with a bomber crew," he said, "that's like telling a blind man what you mean by the color red." As the target comes nearer, and the fighters slide up, and the guns start their chatter, I know this is where I belong this is what matters This is my air.
