Delinquents
Among Draftees To Be
Classed 1-A
WASHINGTON, OCT. 14, 1943.
? Draft-age men who haven't
kept up with their selective ser
vice obligations, including the
fellow who forgot to notify his
local board ol a change of ad
dress, are to be tossed into
class I-A after Nov. 1 and or
dered to report for induction.
Selective service, announcing
this today, said delinquents who
do not respond to such orders
will be reported for prosecution
which could lead to a sentence
of five year In prison, $10,000
fine, or both.
Most men became delinquent
for failure to do one of the fol
lowing: Register, return of com
pleted questionnaire within lien
days, fill questionnaires truth
fully, keep the local board ad
vised of an address where mall
will always reach the registrant,
report a change of status which
would affect classification, re
port for physical examination,
or report for Induction.
By September 1 about 95,000
delinquency cases were pending,
about half of which had been
reported to United States at
torneys.
Selective service said man
power demands and fairness to
men in the armed forces make
it impossible to put up even
with carelessness any longer.
When classifying delinquents in
to I-A, local boards are to dis
regard their order numbers or
occupational or dependency sta
tus However, the man so class
ified may request a personal ap
pearance before his local board
or reopening of the case, or he
may appeal. But If he is found
to have become a delinquent
knowingly, he loses appeal
rights and his claims to defer
ment on occupational or other
grounds will be ignored.
Between now and the Novem
ber 1 deadline, it is suggested,
any man who knows he is delin
quent or who thinks he may be
should consult his local board,
by letter if he cannot appear In
person. If he does not know the
address of his local board, he
should go to a board where he
Is living. Selective service said
it will make public the names
of delinquent registrants once
a month. Delinquent registrants
between 38 and 45 will be class
1 fied into I-A but will not be
ordered to report for induction
unless the services want them.
Dairy Farmers
To Receive Payments Of
War Food Administration
All dairy farmers of Macon
county should keep accuratee
records of sales of whole milk,
cream, or butter in order to ob
tain payments, which will be
made to the farmers by the War
Food Administration to offset
increases In dairy feed costs
since September 1942, is an
nounced by S W. Mendenhall,
county agent."
"The rate of payment in North
Carolina counties has been set
at 40 cents per 100 pounds for
whole milk and 5 cents per
pound for butterfat. Since pay
ments are based on poundage,
dairymen should make certain
that records furnished them by
buyers show the hundredweight,
and not merely the quantity of
butterfat in the milk." Pay
ments to producers will be made
by draft direct upon submission
to the County AAA Committee
of satisfactory evidence of the
quantity of milk or butterfat
sold.
Present rates will be applica
ble to sales during October, Nov
ember, and December. This pay
ment is in addition to the price
now being received. Mr Men
denhall said statement normally
furnished producers selling whole
milk or cream to the local
creamery will constitute satis
factory evidence.
Producers selling milk through
retail outlets or selling butter
to consumers, local stores, or
others should obtain receipts
from the buyers or other evi
dence of sale. Payments on sales
of butter will be at 80 per cent
of the butterfat rate, since there
are about four pounds of but
terfat in five pounds of butter.
Payments on sales of cream will
be made at 20 per cent of the
rate on butterfat, since there
is about one pound of butterfat
in five pounds of cream. It Is
expected that first payments
will cover October deliveries of
dairy products, but the exact
time will lepend upon availabil
ity of necessary forms which
will be forwarded to County
AAA Office as soon as they can
be printed.

YOU can help prevent disastrous
forest fires!
CARELESSNESS starts more than 200,000
'orest fires in the United States every year.
Carelessness destroys millioifc upon millions
of feet of timber, now a critical war material.
It cripples watershed that supply hydro
electric power to war industries. And the
fighting of forest fires diverts precious labor
from factories and farms.
. ?
Many persons who start these fires toss away
matches and cigarettes that aren't dead out.
Many others burn to clear plow land or log
ging slash or grass or debris and ? the fires
they started break away into searing, roaring
flames that destroy timber, forage, wildlife,
and beauty that may never be replaced.
Each of these persons forgot ? for a moment.
And each thoughtless act was as destructive
ts if it had been the act of a saboteur.
YOU can help prevent disastrous forest
fires by observing the four simple rules illus- v
trated here when you're in forest areas. And
by seeing that others observe them.
ATTENTION, BRUSH BURNERS I
More than 6 million acres are burned,
yearly, because of YOUR careless use of fire in
clearing plow land and burning logging and
other slash and debris. Do your part this year.
Remember:
1. Don't burn without a permit from a
ranger or fire warden.
2. Don't burn during unusually hot, dry, or
windy weather.
3. Scrape a trail or ''plow around" areas to
be burned.
4. Have help handy till the last spark is
dead.
. IF YOU BURN SLASH
First ? get a permit
Last ? kill every spark
