If you have any days of grace, they can be used very profitably in helping to harvest the wheal crop. Friends of regis trants should notify Class One men of this request of the Local Board. This does not apply to non-combat-ie men or men in deferred classi cations, or the five men who are on the "Emergency Fleet list.
