MARRIED MEN IN COUNTY MAY BE CALLED SOON In most instances each local board in the state of North Carolina has induc ted into the Army married men who have a wife but no children. The above is not true of the Yancey County Local Board since there has been so many single men available. It now seems thqt the mar ried men who do not have children must be inducted into the Army along with a few single men left in the county. It is the desire of Selec tive Service that all coun ties induct married men with children beginning at about the same date some time in the future. Yancey county is now being urged to call for examination all married men who do not have children and also sin gle men who have been de ferred for some occupa tional reason. A few sin gle men and men with wiv es and no children are yet in War industries but it seems will soon be replaced. Single men and married men as well who do not have children who have gone into war industries recently at about the time tligy were coming up for consideration for a 1-A classification, will not be given a deferred classifi cation but will be called for Physical Examination.
