SERVICE DEFERMENT
- [
There seems to be somej*
confusion among the regis-'
trants as the time limit of 1
asking deferments. The'
fact is that the local board :
! will not allow many defer-1
ments in the future. When :
a registrant receives a card
I stating that he has been 1
placed in Class 1-A he will :
| have to act within the 10 1
day period from date card 1
was mailed.
If a registrant fails , to
act or take an appeal with- i
in the time limit he will be
barred from any other con- <
sideration with the excep- ]
tion of death or serious ill-!
ness to himself or a mem- i
ber of his family and then':
the induction would be<
postponed for 30 days and «
j not deferred. j j
Employers who wish de
ferment of key or skilled i
men in their-work have the!
same right as -the regis-ji
trant and a request receiv-l
ed from an employer after 1
the ten day limil of employ-!;
ee has expired will not bej
considered.

cal board are working un-|

CORPS COUNCIL HOLDS
REGULAR MEETING
The advisory council of
the Citizen’s Service Corps
! held the regular meeting
at the Nu Wray Hotel on
■ Monday evening. The chai
, rman, Mrs. C. P. Rogers,
, presided.
,j A brief discussion w r as
, | held of the aid which has
•I been secured, through the
| corps, to help with work
• jin the county such as ra
-j tioning board, selective
. service board, salvage dri
, ve, etc.
Forms have been distri
, buted throughout the cou
■ nty so that all citizens who
will volunteer for duty
with the corps may sign,
township will have charge
■' The directors in each
of getting the applications
such rules.
Employers and depend
ents still insist that regis
trants be deferred after
receiving notices for induc
tion. State Headquarters
say that such requests will
not and can not be'consid
ered. The army is tasking
for a large number of men
each month and calls must
be filled in instances in
the future.
No information will be
considerel at any time by
the local board unless re
duced to writing so that it
may become a part of the
registrant’s file. Defer
ments for single men and
for married men without
chidlren will not be consid
ered unless occupation co
mes under the rules. Such
registrants now deferred
in war industries will be
taken out as fast as the
employment service can re
place them, and will then
be inducted into the Army
if physically fit.
Registrants who have
been found physically un
fit if not to the extreme
will be placed on jobs in
war industry if. they will
contact the employment
agent in the Court House
any Friday from 10 A. M.
to 12 A. M.
