Van B. Metts, state director of selective service, de clared today, instructing all local boards to utilize every facility at their disposal to aid these men. . Pointing out that the Selective Training and Service Act requires former employers to reinstate men inducted into the Nation armed forces who satisfactorily complete their ' military training, Director Metts asserted that employers like wise have' a moral obligation "to reinstate former employees who were mot actually inducted but who had patriotically answered a call for service. He said: "A man who res-ponds to the call for military training is fulfilling his obligation to his country. When, for- some reason beyond his con trol, he cannot be inducted into the Nation's armed forces, he must be considered as having discharged his responsibility under the law and should be protected in doing so. Every effort must be made to pre vent hardship in such " cases." , Director Metts emphasized that the mere fact that a selectee has been rejected by the Army does not mean that he is physically ur fitted for his civilian occupation. Army standards, he pointed out, are very exacting due to require ments of the training program and the possible hospitalization or pen sions for those who break dowrti For those reasons, he iterated, only a comparatively small per centage of eligibles can qualify for induction.

H1GHWAY The Catawba BILLBOARDS News-Enterprise Relief of motorists from sigr.. boards all along the highways of Nortfi Carolina is at least immi nent, with the ruling of the state highway commission last Friday that all such signs must be placed a minimum of 50 feet from the center of the road. 1 The ruling does not apply to the placards and signboards advertis ing merchandise actually sold on the highway, but a great deal of relief will be' Realized from the numerous signs the ruling does af fect. Chairman Ben Price declared that the volume of roadside signs has become a menace to safety, in that they distract the motor ists' attention, and in many cases overshadow the necessary highway sigms. There is no doubt but that the public ' will heartedly commend members of the highway board for their action. Those who have trav eled . in national parks where all forms of signboards are prohibited know the joy of seeing beautiful views unmarred by man-made ob structions, and have long hoped for the day when the same could be true of our state's highways..
