HALIFAX ASSIGNED QUOTA OF 517 MEN FOR ARMY TRAINING Local Board Will Send 238, Board At Enfield 279 Halifax County may be expected to furnish 517 men of the total of 34,643 soldiers from North Carolina under the original new quotas of the Selective Service Act. The North Carolina figure was approximately 24,000 greater than the first State quota of 15,000 men. The State to date has provided ap proximately 12,000 of this original quota, and these will be credited in the net quota. Until a new quota is established for the State and in the nation, the Selective Service will be able to call upon North Carolina for about 22,000 more men. It is estimated that it will re quire about a year to call 22,000 more Tar Heels into military ser vice, at the present rate of induc tion. Quotas for the county boards are: Halifax No. 1, Roanoke Rapids, 238; Halifax No. 2, Enfield, 279. The present established quota for the board here is 497 men, but it is allowed 259 credits which leave a next quota of 238. Delinquents The following men are wanted for not returning their question naires on time: George Harrison, H Negro, Box 172, Roanoke Rapids; Isaac Pierce, Jr., Negro, General Delivery, Weldon; Clarence Boney, white, Littleton; Thomas Benjamin, Negro, Weldon; Joseph Stephenson, Negro, Weldon; Tommy Garner, Negro, General Delivery, Roanoke Rapids; Bernard Franklin Keeter, white, 68 Washington Street, Roa noke Rapids. Clerk McRae Faison of the local board said that unless the question naires are received in a “reason able time” the men will have to be reported to draft officials and the U. S. District Attorny as de linquents. In turn, the F.B.I. will be ordered to pick up the men for prosecution by the district attorney. Information Hours The local draft board has found it necessary to set aside certain hours of the day for giving out in formation and holding interviews with callers at the office. Effective Monday those hours will be in the mornings from 9 until 10 o'clock, and in the afternoons from 2 until 3 o’clock. On Satur days the hours will be from 9 o’ clock until 11 o’clock in the morn ing. Due to the fact that clerical work in the office is very heavy, and interruptions have been hindering it considerably, persons are request ed not to visit the office for in formation or interviews except during the hours specified unless it is absolutely necessary.
