PAGE 24-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1973 The Law Serves You weeds, leaves, yard trimmings and you name it. A bill which would have permitted the open burning of leaves was in­ troduced in the Illinois legislature but it failed to pass. The idea, of course, is to protect the health and well- being of residents and improve the quality of air by controlling air pollution emissions from open burning. There are some exceptions but for the most part these apply only to farmers and other rural residents for whom there may be no disposal service and who may have no alternative method to rid their premises of "domicile" or V/ Law May Help Decide Who Gets Summer Job The scramble for summer jobs is on -- and in many cases, the law will have something to say about who gets what job. According to the Illinois State Bar association, state law restricts the job hunting prospects of any person under the age of 16 and federal law to some extent cramps the style of anyone under 18. Because of the state law, the ISBA says, the best hope for employment of minors under 16 lies in the area of domestic help - doing odd jobs in or around the home of the employer ~ agricultural work, in the sale ̂ "Agricultural" wastes, and distribution of newspapers and magazines and for those at least 13 years of age, caddying on a golf course. Fourteen and 15-year-old youths who obtain an employment certificate also may hold certain other jobs which are not declared to be hazardous by Illinois law. Many of the jobs that a young person might seek, simply because they are available in his community, actually are off limits because of the state law prohibiting minors from engaging in hazardous oc­ cupations. This law, the ISBA said, rules out employment for under-16-year-olds by a filling station, auto repair garage, public messenger or delivery service, as a bell-boy in any hotel or rooming house, or by any bowling alley, exhibition or amusement park or any place where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises. For all practical purposes, the law against hazardous employment coupled with other restrictions limits many teenagers to mowing lawns for neighbors, baby sitting, win­ dow washing and similar work in or around private, homes. This work may not be in con­ nection with or a part of the business, trade, or profession of the employer. The prospects of the 17-year- old are somewhat ~ better because the state law doesn't affect him. However, under federal law, he may not hold any job declared to be hazar­ dous by the U.S. Secretary of Labor. The federal hazardous- job list includes operating an elevator, even an automatic one, driving a motor vehicle, mining, excavating, roofing and work on a wrecking crew among other jobs, provided that the employer comes under interstate commerce regulations. Whereas 18-year-old and older summer job seekers don't face job restrictions because of age, they do face considerable competition. The ISBA says approximately 70,000 students normally register each year with the Illinois State Em­ ployment Service in hopes of finding jobs- in business and industry and they must com­ pete for whatever temporary jobs are available. The law isn't against work and, as the ISBA notes, many of the jobs which carry few if any restrictions because of age are going begging, even though the pay often is good. In many areas, the bar group said, there is a demand for household helpers, for newspaper delivery boys and for agricultural workers As noted, the law also opens up other jobs to minors of age 14 and 15 who have an em­ ployment certificate. To obtain a-certificate, the youth must present a letter of intention to hire from the prospective employer stating the nature of the work and work schedule, plus a statement from his school principal and a letter signed by a parent or guardian who approves of his em­ ployment. Certificates are issued by city and county school superintendents. Backyard Rubbish Fire Now Belongs To History You would like to burn the trimmings from your shrub­ bery or trees, the grass clip­ pings, some old leaves or a pile of rubbish? Forget it. Virtually any kind of outdoor "open burning", except perhaps the fire in your backyard cookout, is now prohibited under regulations of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. ^ According to the Illinois State Bar association, the prohibition applies to all Illinois residents of, "restricted areas."- A restricted area is any municipality as defined in the Illinois Municipal Code in­ cluding "a zone extending one mile beyond the boundaries of any such municipality having a population of 2,500 or more," according to the EPA's Air Pollution regulations It means that most city and near-the-city residents must, by law, rely on municipal collection to dispose of all "landscape wastes," including the trees, tree trimmings, branches, stumps, brush. Domicile waste includes landscape waste and other refuse generated by living in and around a single-family residence with the exception of garbage and the waste resulting from any trade or business conducted on the premises. Agriculture waste is any refuse, except garbage and dead animals, generated on a farm or ranch by crop and livestock production practices, including such items as bags, cartons, structural materials and, again, landscape waste. For residents outside of restricted areas, open burning of agriculture and domicile wastes can be carried on only on the premises on which such waste is generated, when at­ mospheric conditions will readily dissipate contaminants and only if the burning does not create a visibility hazard on roadways, railway tracks and air fields. In addition, the "burner of agricultural waste must show that burning is his only means of disposal because no economically reasonable alternative method is available to him. And the burning must not be within 1,000 feet of "residential or other populated areas." There are other special exemptions. Under an exemp­ tion "for the burning of fuels for legitimate campfire (and) recreational..." activities, the Boy Scouts may still have campfires. Small open flames for "heating tar, for welding, acetylene torches, highway safety flares and the like" are permitted, among other special-purpose fires. And you can still light a cigarette. Straw from fertilized wheat does not make as satisfactory thatch for buildings as that from non-fertilized wheaten.
