Report Of Patton Club
Far 1941
The women of Patton Club have
worked diligently to carry out the
theme of this year's program,
"Improving the home within and
without."
These are some of the improve
ments reported:
Mrs. J. M. Pendergrass reports
having built a new bedroom, din
ing room, kitchen and one closet
to her house.
Mrs. Leona Duncan has built
new dwelling with electricity and
improvements on kitchen, includ
ing cabinets storage spaces for
canned foods. Has refinished old
furniture and improved her poul
try flock.
Mrs. Nannie Burrell has refin
ished her floors using the linseed
oil and turpentine method we
learned about (this year, The most
interesting thing she reports is
the making of a studio couch from
start to finish.
Mrs. Van Frazier has made im
provements as follows: Pairated
the entire inside of her home, put
in a kitchen sink, covered living
room suite, refinished floors, woven
her own rug for living room and
bought new curtains. She had a
lamp brooder and reports having
50 chickens and raising 46. She
also got a pressure cooker.
Mrs. Nina Liner reports a new
rock can house, painted kitchen
and dining room, a new porch
set and rug.
Mrs. Harley Stewart has refin
ished floors using linseed oil and
turpentine. Bought new refrigera
tor, two new chairs, and studio
couch. She got a lamp brooder
in the early part of spring and
this is such a splendid report on
how she came out with it. She
paid $15.50 for the baby chicks
and $41.00 for feed. Sold chick
ens amounting to $106.85, cleared
$40.35 and 70 pullets now laying.
Mrs. Harold Moore has recently
had a well dug and cemented
around.
Mrs. Anna iiedford has bad
electricity installed in her home,
has ceiled and underpinned her
house with rock and built rock
steps.
Mrs. Louise Pressley has a
lamp brooder and raised 97 out
of 100 chickens. She has covered
her couch and refinished her floors.
Three families have had their
homes equipped -with electricity
this year. Nine women report
having filled together 3,457 quarts
amounts ranging from 250 quaits
up to 600 quarts per family. The
largest number of quarts filled
were reported by Mrs. C. Dowdle
who filled 600. Mrs. John Vin
son reports 492 cans of fruit and
vegetables, 180 pints of jam and
preserves and 64 pints of jelly.
With but one or two exceptions
all families have their cows, chick
ens and hogs. Also own corn,
which is in keeping with the "Live
at Home Program."
We are very proud of the pro
gress and improvements made this
year and hope to do as well or
better in the new year.

Macon Gardens
T. J. Fagg reports that a good
number of demonstration farmers
have recently reported that phos
phate, both triple super and cal
cium meta, when applied1 at the
rate of 100 pounds per acre has
greatly increased the yield and
value of their gardens. B. W. Jus
tice reports that his garden was
much better in 1941 than previous
years even though it was a very
dry season. Charles C. Sutton re
ported a much better garden, espe
cially in the yield of tomatoes.
Both of the fanners attributed
these increases to the use of phos
phate.

MARRIAGE AND
DRAFTSTATUS
Regulations In Case Of
Dependency For
Local Boards
In an effort to dispell some of
the confusion which seems to have
arisen throughout the State las
result of publication of the new
Selective Service Regulations, State
Headquarters of Selective Service
today issued the following state
ment:
There seems to be widespread
misunderstanding of the Selective
Service regulations regarding mar
ried men. The following provisions
of the law and regulations are
pertinent on tthat subject:
1. Section 5 (e) of the Selective
Training and Service Act of 1940
provides: ". . . No deferment from
training and service shall be made
in th case of any individual ex
cept upon the basis of the status
of such individual, and no such
deferment shall be made ... of
groups of individuals. . . ," This
provision in the law itself would
prevent the blanket deferment of
"married men" simply because they
are married. Neither National nor
State headquarters has ever au
thorized the automatic deferment
of married men, regardless of the
date , of their marriage, On the
contrary, local boards have re
peatedly been cautioned that each
individual case must be considered
on its own merits.
2. Deferment in Class III-A must
be based on dependency. Section
621.32 of Selective Service Regula
tions defines a dependent as fol
lows. "A person shall be consider
ed a registrant's dependent only
when all the following conditions
are satisfied : '
"(1) Such person must be the
registrant s wife, divorced wife,
child, parent, grandparent, brother,
or sister, or must be a person
under 18 years of age, or a person
of any age who is physically or
mentally handicapped, whose sup
port the " registrant has assumed
in good faith; and
("2) Such person must either be
a United States citizen or live in
the United States, its Territories,
or possessions; and
(3) Such person, at the time
the registrant is classified, must
depend in fact for support in a
reasonable manner, in view of such
persons circumstances, on income
earned by the registrant by his
work in a business, occupation, or
employment (including employment
on work relief projects but exclud
ing employment as an enrollee in
the Civilian Conservation Corps
and similar employment in the Na
tional Youth Administration).
(4) Such person must in fact
regularly receive from the regis
trant contributions (including pay
ments to a divorced wife) to the
support of such person., and such
contributions must not be merely
a small part of such person's sup
port. Even though the registrant
ts unable to furnish to such per
son money or other support for
temporary periods because of the
registrant's physical or economic
situation, he may be considered to
be regularly contributing to such
person s support if such person
and the community look upon the
registrant as he normal source of
such person's support"
3. bection 622.31 of Selective
Service Regulations provides that
no registrant shall be placed in
Class III-A if he acquired depen
dency status on or after September
16, 1940 (the date of the adoption
of the Selective Service Act) and
before December 8, 1941, unless he
presents . information which con
vinces the local board when classi
fying him that such .status was not
voluntarily acquired at a time
when his selection was imminent
or for the primary purpose of
providing him with a basis for de
ferment. No registrant shall be
placed in Class LII-A if he ac
quired dependency status on or
after December 8, 1941, unless he
presents information which con
vinces the local board when clas
sifying him that such status was
acquired under circumstances which
were beyond his control.
4. It should be noted that the
classification of married men will
be considered upon three separate
rules:
(a) A registrant who married he-
fore September 16. 1940. and claims
dependency is required only to
prove that a condition of depen
dency exists under the definition
of "dependent" as defined
tion 622.32;
(b) A registrant who married
between September 16, 1740, and
December 8, 1941, must not only

prove that a condition of deper
dency exists but also that such
status was not voluntarily acquired
at a time when his selection was
imminent or primarily for the pur
pose of providing him with a basis
for deferment ;
(c) A registrant who married on
or after December 8, 1941, must
not only prove 'that a condition of
dependency exists but also that
such status was acquired under
circumstances beyond his control.
5. Section 622.31 -b instructs the
local board to determine all ques
tions of Class III-A deferments
with sympathetic regard for the
registrant and his dependents and
cautions the local board in doubt
ful cases to be mindful of injur
ies which may be expected to re
sult from separating a father from
his children or a husband from
his wife, and announces the policy
that "the maintenance of the fam
ily as a unit is of importance to
the national well-being."
