According to pre-season prospects Williamston will turn out one of its best teams in a number of years, with the line play expected to be smooth er, and the light backs should cause opponents a great deal of trouble.

Draft Registrants 1 I'liVhii al Sin|iih of AiiM-riraii Voillh "SliailH'ful", Hirer 'or Mrr*hry hrclari'M Approval of plans to facilitate the rehabilitation of Selective Service registrants who fail to qualify for military service because of remed-J table physical defects was recently announced by National Selective headquarters. Arrangements for co operating hy giving data concerning such registrants to authorized agen cies have been under study at na tional headquarters for several months and now are virtually com pleted, it was stated The pingram, .iiiniiunLi'd by the Office of the Coordinator of Health, Welfare, and belated Defense Ac-i tivitics, was initiated following find ings of a high rate of rejections of registrants for remediable physical defects. Conferences with other gov ernment agencies and representa tives of the medical profession look ing to the formulation of a rehabili tation program were inaugurated early this year by the National Head quarters, Selective Service System. Brig Gen Lewis B. Hershey, di rcctor of Selective Service, brought its need sharply to attention last May in an address to.the National Nutri tion Conference for Defense, when he termed the physical status of Am erican youth as revealed by Selective Service tests to be "shameful". He prdicted that the general public would tire of having men ecape mil-1 itary service because of some minor disability that could be removed by proper treatment. Commenting today on the an nouncement by Federal Security Administrator Paul V, McNutt that government financing will be sought for the proposed rehabilitation pro gram, General Hershey said: "National Headquarters has con sistently advocated that efforts be made to rehabilitate registrants who have remediable physical defects. Al though more than a third of the men examined are rejected as unfit for general military service, a substan tial percentage of them have imper fections which can be corrected. "If proper measures are taken, ev ery registrant who has remediable defects will be given opportunity for treatment so that he can qualify for military training at a time when his nation and his heighbnrs need his service. Selective Service will cooperate ^ with those agencies primarily re sponsiblu fui the rehabilitation piu gram by giving them the names and other essential information concern ln* rejected- regislrafiti who have remediable defects. Plans to make the information available to author ized agencies will be completed with in a few days." -t Deficit German invasion of Russia has cut Belgium's food supplies to a point which leaves a calorie deficit of 60 per cent among youths and adults m urban communities.
