Specialist 350 Local Boys Are Registered On Tuesday, 30th (Continued from page 1) he tried to sign up, and was compelled to leave disappointed, with 'the comfort that if the con flict lasted long enough he would yet have his chance. Little boys peeped in the doors, looking big eyed over elder broth ers and friends who were old enough to be "signed up." There was one 20-year-old who was married and the father of four children. Jh&te were a few boys, who had lived within the shadow of good schools all their lives, who could not sign their names. As prospects for the great army of the United States they showed 'what it will take to win the war," They were willing and eager to go. More often was heard, "ys they are going to let me register," than "yes, I got to register," " . 'WWto. i V" A V i V 1 MttAMMftVVaWttv '&r-jaaaaaaf&&60SbMaaVri&Sti&aVSaa&i U. S.

(Continued from page 1) of every cow are among the first essentials of good dairying. Mr. Ruffner stressed the point that with good cows, plenty of proper feed and lots of elbow (frease will make a success of any dairy project. He concluded his remarks by pointing out through an illustration of a good and poor management, that the best people live on the best soil. Haywood has one cow for every 5 people, which is about the na tional average. The state average is one cow for every 9 people. F. R. Farnham, district county agent, and dairying specialist of State College, made a few brief remarks, pointing out the necessity of properly conserving the hay crop this year by putting it under a roof. "Hay exposed to weather looses a gxeat percentage of food value," he said. Mr., Farnham said he often used Haywood as an illustration in showing the value of co-ordination. The business men, professional men, and farmers have always stuck by each other in Haywood, and that is one reason the county is out standing, he said. . After the meal, and addresses, the Rotarians and their guests, visited Pet Dairy Products Com pany,' and were served ice cream.

Her legs were not strong enough to lift her 4,500 pounds. So the zoological authorities had to call for a derrick to aid her. It looks like the kiddies will again be able to feed Alice her share of peanuts. (Central Preit) Explanation Of Number Of v Selectees Rejected The current high rate of rejec tions of selectees at the induction station has been so high that the government is explaining the rea sons, it was learned from the local draft board yesterday. The subject has been disturbing the public and the board members pointed out that they felt there should be some explanation at this time. Prior to January 1, 1942, com plete physical examinations were given the selectees by local board examining physicians. After a few months of experience, those physicians were passing men who very closely met the army's requirements. Rejections at the induction sta tion at that time were almost en tirely of men on the borderline conditions, men who had contract ed disease between the time of their local examination and the time of their delivery for induc tion and men rejected as a result of the chest X-rays which were never a part of the local exam ination. Under the regulations now in force, the local examining physi cians do not make a comprehen sive examination. In fact, they make only a casual "screening" ex amination and are guided by a list of defects, one part of which sets forth non-remediable physical con ditions which disqualify the se lectee for all military service. The second part sets forth those non remediable physical conditions which disqualify for general mili tary service, but qualify for lim ited service. The local examining physician has no alternative but to follow this list specifically. With these limitations, the examining physi cian can reject little more than the obviously unfit. Another reason for the large number of rejections is that local boards no longer have the authority to disqualify reg istrants who are below the minimum literacy standards for military service. Prior to Jan uary 1, 1942, they had such authority and did not send to the induction station men who were below such standards. The local board has no choice but to send the men to the induc tion Centers, even though they know at the time that they will be returned, it was pointed out by the local board. Aerial Reinforcements Delivered To British Iseland of Malta Aerial reinforcements have been delivered to the British Island of Malta in the Mediterranean and has already caused the enemy to suffer "Considerable losses," it was announced by the U. S. Navy this week. The planes were carried to Malta by the United States aircraft ear lier Wasp which made the deliver ies without damage. Malta, the mtst bombed spot in the world, is a vital British stronghold lying athwart Axis supply lanes through the Medi terranean from Italy to Libya. New Ruling Will Return Draftees For 2 Weeks Stay The policy of granting furloughs to inducted men upon recommen dations made by their local broads was discontinued on June 30( ac cording to the local draft board. Beginning yesterday every in ducted man will be granted a four teen day furlough at the induc tion station unless he prefers not to be furloughed. The new procedure provides for the transfer of men so furlough ed to the enlisted reserve corps im mediately following induction and the issuance of orders recalling them to active service at the end of the fourteen day period. The army will furnish transpor tation, meals and lodging for such reservists to and from the cities and communities where their local boards are located. There will be no change in the procedure of delivery of regis trants to the induction station by the local boards or for the return of rejected men from the induc tion station to the local boards. Men furloughed under the new plan will assemble at the spe cified hour at the office of the board and will be returned to the reception center in body. The chairman of each local board will be mailed meal tickts and transportation requests necessary for the travel of each local board group from the city in which the local board is located to the desig nated reception center, together with copies of the orders for the return to active service and any other necessary instructions. Many of the disadvantages of the furlough system will be elim inated n this new procedurei. Every man who wishes to return to his home will be given the op portunity to do so without being required ,to establish his yea sons for returning. They travel at the government expense in local board groups un der an appointed leader. Farewell ceremonies may be arranged at the time the men have been ac cepted for military service and are going into active duty. None will be faced with the embarrassment of returning home following the ceremonies formerly given at the beginning. . The local draft ; board in view of the new ruling announces that there will be no ceremony of fare well when the next call leaves the first time, but will be held two week after when they are actually inducted into the service, follow ing their furlough.: Patsy Gwyn Gives Talk To DAR Chapter Of North Wilkesboro Miss Patsy Gwyn has' returned from North Wilkesboro where she was the guest of Mrs. W.
