Chicano, Slovak, 'Italian, drop-out, rebel or drifter, youngsters would forget per­ sonal animosities or ethnic tensions during rap sessions about cars. Their enthusiasm gave Mr Brule the idea for ARTC - the Inner City Auto Repair and Training center. Mobil Oil rented the group an old service station for a dollar. Allstate insurance, the Jaycees and the City Community Relations department added their support. Mr. Brule recruited ex­ perienced auto mechanics. They, in turn, ran classes to train volunteers. The final link in the chain was forged as the volunteers worked with neigh­ borhood youngsters between 12 and 23 years old. The center became a familiar hangout for 200 inner-city kids. Eventually, other things started to happen. The dropouts wanted to learn to read - because auto repairs have printed instructions. So reading courses were started. Now Milwaukee high schools give credit for center courses. The center is becoming a cource of financial benefits to teenagers its paying repair jobs come in. Through involvement in the management of the shop, some are learning to run their own businesses. True concern, like Terry Brule's doesn't look for ways to push others into narrow molds of what we think they should be. It goes further. It looks at Questions and'Answers 1. I have been trying since 1975 to collect wages tnat a company owes me. I had a .lawyer work on it, but he has done me no good. What can I do to collect my wages? The- Illinois Department of I^abor, Wage Claim division might be able to help you in collecting the back wages owed by your employer. The main function of the Wage Claim division is enforcing the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection act by providing assistance to any employee in the collection of wages, final compensation, vacation pay and other fringe benefits due him or her This act applies to all employees in Illinois except for employees of the State or Federal govern ^ ment Any services performed by the division are free of charge. The Illinois Depart ment of Labor. Wage Claim division can be contacted at 910 South Michigan avenue, 18th Floor, Chicago, 111. 60605. 2. When you work fulltime as a secretary and you are the^^ only employee, does the em ployer have to pay the minimum wage of $2.65 an hour, pay overtime, and pay for holidays and vacations? According to the Illinois Minimum Wage law, most employers in the state must pay the minimum wage of $2.30 an hour < for workers 18 years of age and ^Ider; $1.95 for workers under the age of 18). There are exceptions to this law and who it covers - one ex­ ception being employers who employ fewer than four workers. Since you state that you are the only employee, it is likely that you are not covered by this law. Overtime regulations are also a part of*" the Illinois Minimum W«ge law (ft » and are subject to the same exceptions. The Illinois department of Labor, Labor Law Enforcement division enforces the Illinois; Minimum Wag? law. For further in­ formation on this law, you can contact them at 910 South Michigan avenue, 18th Floor, Chicago, 111 60605 The $2.65 minimum wage rate you mention is the current Federal minimum wage. It basically applies to establish­ ments that gross over $275,000.00 annually and also covers certain types of em­ ployment not covered under State law. For futher in­ formation on the Federal Minimum Wage law, contact the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour division. They have field stations located throught the state. Consult your phone directory for the office nearest you. Holiday and vacation pay are usually considered fringe benefits that are not required by law. However, if there is a company policy allowing for these benefits and the employer refuses to comply with such a policy, these benefits can be considered earned wages rightfully due the employee. It all depends on whether or not a company policy exists and how it reads. The Illinois Depart­ ment of Labor. Wage Claim disvision handles this type of claim and can be contacted at 910 South Michigan avenue, Chicago. Ill 60605. Vagabond Night For Lilymoor Storm Victims What to tell the grand­ children about the big snow of 1978" No school for two days wijl be what many children will remember Jerry Weber will tell of leaving his car in a ditch on ' Darrell road, being rescued by a snowmobiler, and spending the night at his dad's in Island Lake Sherill will tell of her rescue attempt to locate Jerry by snowmobile, then turning back home in the blinding snow and taking a short cut across Lily I^ake. She will remember that awful feeling of terror and being completely alone when she lost all sense of direction because of no visibility. She finally found shore and her home, and was grateful. eorge Kawell spent ursday night sleeping on the Commonwealth Edison in Crystal Lake Many of the employees were unable to get home. Diane was curious to know if all those who stayed overnight were men. Maybe that's why George hadn't called home by Friday morning? Maggie Dumiagan. who in­ tensely dislikes snowmobiles, got to work Friday via that form of transportation. Her boss at Chromo stopped by for her. What some people will do for their employees! At least this snow broke winter's monotony. ' ANY PORT IN A STORM The Emergency service was in operation Thursday night at the municipal building in I^akemoor. Norman Morrison is the director of this group of trained volunteers who assist people in time of trouble. The snowmobilers were kept busy seeing that stranded motorists were rescued and provided with hot coffee and shelter if needed. The members are in radio contact with county authorities, so when the need arises, they are available. Here is another example of a caring com­ munity.
