Sam Woods' Dilemma
Absent-mindedness is a disor
der that afflicts some of the best
citizens of the world, including
college professors.
Now Sam Woods of the North
View section of Stokes. county is
not immune from the botheration
of absent-mindedness.
Sam operates, or at least h- I
has been operating a sawmillj
business over on Snow Creek that
has been very successful under
his guiding hand. Many the tall
pine that has fallen under the
stiff strokes of his axemen, only
to be soon cut into useful lengths
and widths for building purposes.
The song of Sam's sawmill «•
sang merrily through the un''u...-j
ting hills of old Snow Creek, '
,the extent that people could no.
sleep well when it stopped. I* j
cadence was soothinjr to the
nerves and induced la p ~ ! * a i

j was going on.

stock? more mules to pull the

| All men in the Slate of Norm 1
, Carolina between the ages of La
( % j
; and 3S, who have been subject
I to Selective Service registration
for as long as six months and j
who do not have their classifica
tion cards, were advised today by
General J. Van B. Metts, State
I
Director of Selective Service, to j
communicate with their Local
! Boards at once. On and after
| February 1, the Director pointed
out, any man in this age group
who does not have in his person
al possession his classification
I
card (Form 57 ), as well as his
. Certificate of Registration, is lia
ble to fine or imprisonment ,or
both.
The recent order of the Se
lective Service Bureau of the War
Manpower Commission, setting
jthe February 1 deadline for pos
j session of Clarification Cards by
; men of military ages, has met
with prompt response in North
Carolina, the Director said. Many
I
registrants are reporting to this j
local board, requesting classifica
tion or asking that lost Classifi
cation Cards be duplicated. How
ever, Director Metts says he be
lieves there are still a few who
have failed to get in touch with
their boards because of careless
ness or negligence.
Registrants in the 45-to-63-
year-old group are not affected by
the order, and Director Metts
said there are actually only a
handful of men in the State wh
can be considered as delinquent,
according to Selective Service
regulations, for failure to keep in
touch with their local boards.
Nevertheless, he emphasized that
in the present emergency no man
will be allowed to avoid military
responsibility merely because of
failure to keep his local board ad
vised of his whereabouts.

Sam, as many business men
fiof, did not have the cash hand' -

! slowed up for awhile. Finally
jsam saw the solution. He told tho
| mule dealer that, as he did not
just then have the cash in hand,
here's what he would do.:
"I'll give you a first class saw
mill that cost me SBOO.OO, for
your mules."
The offer looked good to the
dealer, and soon the deal wen
pulled off.

quents.
"A fine of SIO,OOO or five years j
jin prison, or both, is the penalty |
facing a person convicted of delin
quency under Selective Service
Act," General J. Van B. Metts,
j State Director of Selective Serv
ice announced today.
"Far too many are escaping I
their obligations under the act be-!
i
cause they are delinquent," the
State Director said. He further
stated that a vigerous effort will
be made during the month of
January to have delinquents and
suspected delinquents report to
their local boards, te have the
charges of delinquency removed,!
"Those who do report voluntarily |
to their local board during the l
month of January, 1943, will be
allowed to comply with their oh j
ligations, but those who fail or!
refuse to do so will find that their j
names have been reported to til?
I !
j Department of Justice for prose
cution," the Director said.
i
To further clarify the require- 1
ments, General Metts emphasized
j these point 3:
1. Every person who was re
| quired to tcgiater under any one
0 fthe six residential Proclama-!
tfons which have heretofore been
issued, except those registrants ia
I
j the 45-03 year old group, must
have in His personal possession :u
| ;
all times a valid Notice of Gas
evocation in addition to his Reg
istration Certificate.
2. Upon request, every person
1 required to carry a Notice ol
Classification must submit his
notice to any law enforcing of
-1 ficer, representatives of the Sec
retary of State, the Secretary of
: the Treasury, the Attorney Gene
' ral, or any official of the Nation
al or State Headquarters of Se
lective Service, any member of «i
local or appeal board, any Gov
ernment Appeal Agent, or any
other official designated by the Di
rector of Selective Service.
: 3. Every registrant between the
- ages of 18 to 45 should keep his
i local board notified of any change
i' of address so that he may be sure
j that he receives his mail at ail
, times with reasonable prompt-
I'
J ness. The local board will have
!'discharged its duty and fully com
' j plied with the regulations if it
; mails official notices to the regis
; | tran at hsi last known address,
, and the registrant is presumed by
jlaw to receive such notices. There
■ j fore, it becomes most important
■ for the registrant to see that his
local board has on file his corre t
> address at all times.
s! 4. Every person who is requir
ed to carry a Notice fo Classifi
> cation and who does not now
have -nc should report immediate
