If Wife Works Her
Husband Can't Claim
Her As a Dependent
Washington, Sept. 21 Army
officials made it plain today that
married men will not be exempt
ed from the draft simply and au
tomatically because they are mar
ried.
In each individual case, that
point is to be decided by the local
draft board on its own merits
and, if necessary, after an inquiry
as to whether the wife or other
dependent is actually dependent
upon the draftee's earnings for a
livelihood. Thus, private means
of income and such questions as
whether the wife has a job ap
parently are to be taken into con
sideration.
Officials of the selective service
system reversed a previous opin
ion to set this forth today.
BUILDING & LOAN TO

ings is suggested by the Elkin

mately 30 years ago, and contin

ment of a group of Elkin and
Jonesville business men, who are
as follows: J. R. Poindexter, E. F.
McNeer, F. M. Norman, W. C.
Cox, C. S. Foster, S. G. Holcomb,
J. L. Hall, H. P. Graham, and
Paul Gwyn.
J. R. Poindexter is president;
F. M. Norman, vice-president,
and Paul Gwyn, secretary-trea
surer.
McCOIN-YOUNG CLANS
HOLD ANNUAL REUNION
Members of the McCoin and
Young families met in fourth an
nual reunion Sunday at Grassy
Creek church, north of Elkin, for
an all-day program and picnic
dinner. Approximately 250 rela
tives and friends of the two
families, many from distant
states, attended the gathering.
Rev. Mr. Cooper, of Thurmond,
was the principal speaker for the
morning session. The afternoon
was spent informally. A bounti
ful dinner was served at the noon
hour.
During the business hour it was
decided that Grassy Creek church
be the regular scene of the an
nual gathering.
SURRY WEED CROP MAY
REACH 9 MILLION LBS.
Surry county farmers planted
approximately 11,00 acres of to
bacco this year and will produce
between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000
pounds of tobacco, R. R. Smith
wick, county agent, estimated a
few days ago.
The Surry tobacco farmers cut
their crop from 15,500 acres in
1939 to approximately 11,000
acres this year.
The 1940 crop is regarded about
average in quality, the county
agent reported.
The county was hard hit by
hail in some sections and blue
mold got in about an average
amount of damage.
The crop generally matured
early.
A Delaware law requires all
highway pedestrians to wear a
white cloth at night to make
them visible to motorists.
