Fathers Will Not Be Drafted
Before October First; Total
Of 9,300,000 In Uniforms
Nation To Have An Army
Of 11,000,000,000 By
First Of Year
Washington—Fathers living with
and supporting children born be
fore last September 15 have gotten
their first official and positive as
surance that there will be no need
to issue a general draft call for
them before October at the very
earliest.
Classes 1-4 and 1-A-O (men w'ho
can be used for non-combatant
military service) already contain
enough men who will actually get
into uniform to fill draft calls for
July, August and September, Major
Emett Solomon of the selective
manpower division told reporters.
Reclassification
That will be true, he said, al
though some of the 1,566.000 men
in these classes will be reclassified
on appeal and many more will be
rejected by physicians and psychi
atrists, wrho are currently turning
back 40 per cent of those examin
ed.
Solomon declined to comment
directly on the induction of fathers
of children conceived before Pearl
Harbor or predict when it would
begin, but data he presented indi
cated that, generally speaking the
drafting of their class might be
delayed well past October 1.
Approximately 50,000 of the 90.
000 youths newly turned 18 each
When your doctor asks where you
prefer to have your prescription
filled, say: VARNER’S, because:
Filled only by registered pharma
cist; as written and at reasonable
prices. (Advt.) tfc
month can be counted upon for
induction, he said, adding 150,000
to the pool of men who can be
taken through September.
Furthermore, this number will
be swelled by “recoveries” from
the 2,976.000 men who were in
class 4-F on July 1 because of
disqualification for physical, men
tal. educational or moral reasons.
On the darker side of the pic
ture, Solomon pointed out that of
the total of 22,184,000 men aged
18 through 37, more than half
already have either been taken
into military service or rejected
and placed in 4-F.
9,300,000 In Uniform
War manpower commission of
ficials said there are now 9,300,000
men and women in uniform and
this number will grow to 10,800,
000 by January 1 as the navy ex
pands by some 500.000 in the first
half of 1944 while the army holds
to a strength of 8.200,000.
Solomon's discussion of the draft
situation was highlighted by state
ments that:
This month's draft call was
larger than any of the four pre
ceding months. The August and
September quotas will be some
vv hat smaller, with September
“slightly larger than August and
just under July.”
Local boards are rejecting and
reclassifying to 4-F 6.5 per cent
of the men they examine, while
induction stations are rejecting
about 33.5 per cent.
“In isolated cases” men over 38
actually have been drafted after
they refused to leave a non-defer
rable job for essential work. Waiv
ers on their age were obtained
from the army.
Enough to Go Around
Now, for the first time in years,
both farmers and manufacturers
can work for the biggest possible
yield without thinking about the
market. This year they can sell all
they can produce.
As things look now, this condi
tion is due to keep up for some
time, but we can’t count on its
lasting forever. Certainly nobody
wants a prosperity built on war! So
it's high time that everybody con
cerned—and that is everybody—
gave some thought to keeping
things running after the war.
, You’re busy,* we know. So are
wi. The important thing right
now is seeing that there’s enough
of everything to go around. But
we’ve been devoting a little atten
tion to the problems of the future,
too. We feel that the people who
have the producing job to do can
contribute a lot to the solution of
those problems.
And we hope that you, too, busy
as you are with growing more
food than this country’s ever pro
duced, will be turning these
problems over in your mind. For if
America’s farmers and manufac
turers, working together, can’t
find a way to keep the richest
country on earth producing
enough for everybody, and let the
producers make a living in the
process—if they can’t, why then,
who can? General Electric Co.,

PROGRAM PUNNED
REVIVE INTEREST
Members Of Boy Scout Troop
1 May See Industrial
Plants Operate
Plans for reviving interest and
increasing attendance will be dis
cussed tomorrow night at a meet
ing of Boy Scout Troop No. 1 with
members of the troop committee,
consisting of Charles Moore, chair
man, J. M. Gaines and Mayor
Verne Clement. At this meeting
there will also be a demonstration
of the use of the snake bite first
aid kit. Scout leaders feel that at
this time of the year it is advan- j
tageous for Scouts to refresh their |
knowledge of the proper procedure
to cope with injury of this kind.
Jim Hatley is Scoutmaster of this
troop, which is sponsored by the
Kiwanis club.
It has been suggested that in
terest might be stimulated by tak
ing the boys on tours of industrial
plants to enable them to see how
such plants operate. Interesting
programs are being planned, which
will consist of instruction in fly
casting, use of wood turning lathe
boys. Hikes to points of interest
nearby will also be taken. What
the troop committee has in mind
is a varied and instructive pro
gram of activities that will capture
and hold the interest of all mem
bers of the troop.
Members of the troop are: Alex
Kizer, Jr., Jim Newbury, George
Poor. Bobby Patton. Paul Lance.

PRELIMINARY CERTIFICATE
OF DISSOLUTION
To All to Whom These Presents
May Come—Greeting:
Whereas, It appears to my satis
faction, by duly authenticated re
cord of the proceedings for the vol
untary dissolution thereof by the
unanimous consent of all the stock
holders, deposited in my office,
that the Centennial Bowling Cen

Maternity Care Is
Provided For Wives
Of Men In US Army
Announcement has been made
by the Red Cross Home Service
department that maternity care
will be provided by the state
health department and the fed
eral government for care of wives
and infants of men in service of
4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grades.
The provision of the two co
operating agencies takes care of
the doctor bill if the baby is to
be born in the home or in a hos
pital, and also includes pre-natal
and post-natal care of the mother
and baby.
Provision has also been made to
pay for ward-room service in ap
proved hospitals, and the Tran
sylvania Community hospital has
applied for this approval, but at
this time has not received final
papers. However, doctor’s fees
will be paid for at the local hos
pital, or such other place as the
mother may be at the time of
birth of child, and medical care
for the child for the first year is
also provided for by the state and
federal departments.
Rates paid for by the depart
ments are for ward only, and no
private room may be used with the
mother or other parties paying a
part of the bill, it being a ruling
of the departments that if the
party \is able to pay additional
that the government should not
pay a part of it. However, it is
stressed that the fees are avail
able for each and every wife and
infant of any service man who is
below rank of technical sergeant
or petty officer in the navy or
| similar rating in other branches
j of the service.
This is not to be confused with
“charity or public welfare’ ser
I vice, a letter from National Red
| Cross headquarters states, but is
available for wives of all service
men, rich and poor alike, and only
applications to be made are through
the attending physician and the
public health service, in which
instances for Transylvania the
agency is the County Health Of
fice with Mrs. Paul Lollis the
agency head.' and nurse.
All doctors in the county have
been provided with proper blanks,
and expectant mothers are re
quested to see their physician at
least one month or two prior to
expected birth of infant so that
proper pre-natal care may be
started and the approval for
expenses given by the cooperating
agencies.
The plan, it is stressed by let
ter from National Headquarters
of the Red Cross is on the same
basis as dependent allotment, and
is available for any mother and
infant of service men. Families
may secure additional information
from their physician, through the
Public Health Office, or the local
Chapter of American Red Cross.
