Call For Change In
Deferment Policies

who have been deferred for depen
dency. We foresee the possibility of
early change in the deferment sta
tus of many registrants
Use of Available Men
Before men deferred for depen
dency are inducted, there will first
be selected all men who can be
made available for military service
under current policies and standards
Many registrants deferred for de
pendency under liberal peacetime
policies should 110 longer be defer
red under current dependency pol
icies. When all men available under
current policies have been called
and the requirements of the armed
forces 01 essential activities still
have not been nieT. the NaTIim inusl
secure additional men by reexamin
ing present policies, mainly those af
fecting dependency deferments
Present Dependency
Deferment Policy
Agencies of the Selective Service
System should grant deferment to
those1 registrants who hove persons
financially dependent upon them for
support in a reasonable manner
Current policy does not authorise
the classification of a married reg
istrant in Class 1-A merely because
his financially dependent wife is
working or is capable of working
but on the other hand, classifica
tion of a married registrant in Class
3-A or Class 3-B is not justified un
less there is actual financial de
pendency on the earnings of the
registrant There is no present jus
tification for the classification of a
registrant in 1-A where there is a
financially dependent wife and child
or children The necessity for giv
ing adequate consideration to the
family unit where a child or chil
dren are involved cannot be over
emphasized and in such instances
due consideration should be given
o the family status, the maintenance
01 the home, and the desirability of
continued paternal guidance 'and
control. In the case of a registrant
claiming dependents other than a
?ife. child or children, the test to be
applied is whether th. alleged de
pendent comes within the definition
riall dT"dT tJVrSOn and is fman
?ally dependent upon the registrant
for support. The local board shall

THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
It'll take gasoline rationing,
tire rationing, other kinds of ra
tioning and something else to
wipe out highway accidents, it
would seem. Last week in this
county two accidents were re
ported. No one was hurt and
very little property damage was
done. But the wrecKord ShOWS?
that there have been almost as
innay accidents so fur this year
as there were for the correspond
ing period a year ago. \

Little activity has been reported

by the Germans in the Crimea had
been smashed, and that the battle
fields in that area were literally cov

days ago that a spring offensive was
to get underway shortly, but appar
ently the first part of the drive fiz
zled out. It is possible that the So
viet forces yielded slightly in the
north, but in the Crimea the four
day German attack was repulsed at
great cost to the enemy. The late re
port stated that without doubt the
Germans were using a new type of
gas. According to the report the gas
is non-poisonous, but affects the
nervous system, rendering the vic
tim helpless for certain periods.

OPA Urges Patience
The Office of Price Administra-.
lion urges us to be patient with our
retail storekeepers in the next few
months, while the new price ceiling
,s going into effect. OPA points out
that "the regulations impose many
novel and difficult burdens on re
tailers and their suppliers" and that
"the long-run success of the program
requires the complete cooperation of
the consumer." A three-point guide
to shoppers?
1 Before July 1 educate yourself
as to how the price rules work but
don't try to be a price-policeman.
2 After July 1, reporeestablished
violations to war price and rationing
boards.
3 For the duration, remember that
you have a personal obligation to
buy at or below the ceiling price and
the plan won't work unless you
make it work.
The price ceiling will not hold
down the cost of living unless its
companion regulations, the roof-on
Tnnts. is made effective OPA charg
ed last week that some landlords in
unspecified defense rental areas are
undertaking to evict tenants to re
gain possession of their properties
in the hope of evading the order.
-We cannot and will not tolerate
wholesale evictions of war workers,"
Price Administrator Leon A Hen
derson declared. "We will not permit
the w'ar production program to be
sabotaged by a few landlords who
have the mistaken notion that they
can somehow wiggle outside of the
essential wartime program."
A lesser-known aspect of the con
servation driev is the use of reclaim
ed rubber for rubber heels. Postmen
and policemen of Washington, D. C.
have volunteered to act as walkini
laboratories to test heels made ol
scrap rubber. On the results of theii
findings will depend whether mil
lions of pedestrians get a durable re
claimed rubber heel.

"Enriched"* Flour
Costs Little Extra
It is possible to "buy health" for
only 20 cents extra per year, says
Miss Mary Thomas, Extension nu
tritionist of N. C. State College. That
is the additional cost of enough "en
riched" flour to feed a person for a
year, she explained.
The word "enriched", as used on
sacks of flour and on loaves of bread,
is not a commercial advertising slo
gan, Miss Thomas explained. It is a
term proposed by the Federal Drug
and Food Administration to desig
nate flour and bread to which have
been restored, synthetically, the most
needed nutrients of whole wheat.
Enriched bread and flour is endors
ed by the highest Government au
thorities.
It costs S cents, or less, per 24-'
pound sack to enrichr flour, Miss
Thomas explained, and only about
100 pounds of flour are needed an
nually to feed the average person.
"The enrichment feature of this
National health program ix unique
in low cost per capita," the nutrition
ist declared. "While all the bread
and flour in the country can be en
riched for about 20 cents per person
per year, an extra glass of milk a
day will cost about $13. an extra egg
or an orange $9 to $10, an extra I
quarter of a |>ound of fresh meat
about $25."
Miss Thomas also emphasized the
fact that "enriched" bread and flour
is not medicine. "It is simply the res
toration of certain vitamins and
minerals which are removed from
white flour and bread in the milling
and baking processes. Enriched bread
and flour look and taste just exact
ly like ordinary white flour and
bread. But there is a big difference
in the nutritive value of the pro
ducts"

Ball Weevils Ready
Far Annual 'Blitz'
Cotton fields of North Carolina are
about to be invaded, fears Dr. Z. P.
Metcalf, head of the State College
zoology department. He warns that
boll weevils appear to have, surviv
ed the mild winter in large numbers,
and the pesky insects are lying in
wait for the cotton plants to reach
"eating size."
"Government entomologists have
made several check tests," "Dr. Met
calf reported, "and in South Caro
lina they found " that weevils had
survived at the rate of 1,839 per acre
in woods near the edge of old cot
ton fields. In Louisiana, 327 weevils
per acre were found to have survived
the winter."
Dr. Metcalf said the survival was
less than a year ago, but still "at a
dangerous xate." He suggested that
Tar Heel farmers begin to look for
weevils in fields and ditches along
side their cotton patches.
Examine the field in several
places," he advised. "You will prob
ably find the weevils most abun
dant around the edges of the field,
Close to where they spent the winter.
When you find enough weevils to
average about 25 per acre, it would
be well to poison at least the part
of the field where the weevils are
most abundant.
Calcium arsenate 1s the best ma
terial to use," Dr. Metcalf continued
"If you put it on the young cotton,
either in the dust form or as a mop,
it will kill the weevils Mopping is
a little cheaper but is effective only
while the weevils are in the tops ol
the plants before the squares form
However, if you prepare for dusting
early in the season, you will be ready
to dust any time during the summei
when the weevils are threatening.'
