Gen. Lewis B. Hersey, Direc tor of Selective Service, by the Di rector of War Mobilization and Re conversion, James F. Byrnes. Point ing out that the Tydings Amend ment to the Selective Service Act does not give the agricultural worker absolute exemption, and was not intended to, Director Byrn es states; "The Secretaries of War and Navy have advised me jointly that the calls from the Army and I Navy to be met in the coming year will exhaust th- eligiblcs in the 18 to 25 year age group at an early date. The Army and Navy be lieve it essential to the effective prosecution of the war to induct more men in this age group. . . Other than the men becoming 18 years of age the only remaining substantial source in this age group is in the Sf O.OOO men now HpfprrpH because of agricultural occupation You have further advised me that if this group is not available, you must call into service occupational i,, ,jf i .i . in ueicneu men in me next age group, 2G years and older, most of whom are fathers. The Chairman of the War Production Board. Mr Krug, advises me that the loss of these men would make it extreme iy aimcuit, it not impossible, to meet critical war demands. More over, tnese older men would not meet the expressed needs of the Army and Navy."

Anofher headache for hard-working linemen! Iast fall, a raging hurricane roared up the eastern seaboard and left a $400,000,000 trail of wreckage from North Carolina to Maine. Falling trees crushed housescars and power lines. Poles were snapped off by the fury of the storm. Hundreds of towns, millions of people had no electric service. The electric light and power com panies moved fast. Line crews worked around the clock. 18-hour stretches were common. Clerks, meter readers-everybody-pitched in to replace work ers now at War. Short-wave radio helped direct the job. Men and equipment came to New England from otjier electric companies as far west as Ohio and Michigan. In fact, some trucks were already rolling before the storm struck. In most cases, service was quickly restored. Hospitals got first priority,, then war plants. It was a staggering job, swiftly done-and helped immea surably by the patience and under standing of customers. - This hurricane - like fires, floods, , tornadoes across the country drama tized anew the fact that only a major disaster can interrupt electric service.. It proved again that &usmess-man-. aged electric companies are organized and able to meet any emergency as completely as they met America's great- -est emergency war.
