Add Two New Classifications Selective Service An amendment of vital inter est to the farming population in this county has been apphended to the Selective Service Act to add two new classifications; Class 2-C and Class 3-C. In Class 2-C will be placed any registrant who lias no grounds for deferment other than his occupation and who is found to be necessary and regularly en gaged in an agricultural occupa tion essential to the war effort. Tobacco farming is not essential to the war effort. In Class 3-C will be placed any registrant who is deferred by reason of dependency who Is found to be necessary and reg ularly engaged in an agricultural ! ocupation essential to the war effort. Men in Class 2-C and 3-C can- ; not be inducted until a satis factory replacement can be ob tained. "Satisfactory replace ment" could be in the form of a younger brother graduating from high school who knows farming. But anyone who leaves his es sential farming for another Job without first obtaining a deter mination from the local board to the effect that the move is to the best interest of the war effort, automatically places himself in Class l-A. An appeal can be made from local board decision, however. The idea behind the plan is to keep registrants on the vital Jobs for which they are deferred and to keep them from scampering j around the country in search of I hi&h-salaried jobs for which they aro not suited. A good farmer it, reasoned, is much more valu able as a farmer than he is in the military service or in a ship- I for which line of work he * not trained. ? ?
