W,2 might say that there is no set rule against that now. State and National Headquarters prefer sending to the army single men and married i men who do not have child-: ren. Each week several single 1 men are deferred from mil-; itary service because they; are working in mines but replacements by the em ployers must be made as quickly as possible. If it is found that a married man who is physically able to do work and is not working for his family and in tfie interest of his country he will be placed in Class 1-A and sent to the Army as early as possible. There are probably some men in this county who are married and have a wife and children who are not putting forth as much ef fort as they should to the support of the family. In many instances such men could apply for work at the mines or in some other industry and replace a sin gle man who could go on and serve his country in a military way. On the farm, in the min es. at the saw mill or where ever you are working your Government expects you to work at least 40 hours each week and even more if your employer or you, your self can arrange for more hours. If you are not working the 40 hours each week you may find your self called to Uncle Sam’s Army. You can contact the U. S. Employment Agent any Friday from 10:00 A. M. until 12:00 o’clock and he .1 The nutritioii class: tau- j ' ght-by Miss Djprothy- Tur ner, will not Jittieet next] ■ Monday but wal meet on next Wednesday afternoon] at the same tinajb and place.] ;j NOTICE I The weight value of the Sugar Stamp jfhmber (11) eleven has beett fixed by : Amendment munber 35 at .

Yancey Cofcnty Local i Board No. I*. t f i On Fehrwija left Burnsville for Camp (Croft, S. C. for physical examination and induction into the Army. Os the above number almost 50 were of the teen-age. This i Local Board is having ex- j iamined weekly 30 to 35 • young men for the military iservice. Soon all the teen-agers are going to be examined, and then we will have to go right back to the men who are married but have no children. Not so many of this kind are left in the county. Then where do we go. We still have a num ber of single men and mar ried men with no children in Shipyards, Bomber pla nts, etc. and we are taking them out by degrees. We can take them out only as fast as U. S. Employment Service can replace them, j All young men must re gister on the day they be come eighteen years of age unless the birth date falls on Sunday or a -Holiday, and if this is the case they! must register the following i day. Classification cards have been mailed to most regis trants. A few are yet to be mailed and are going in to the mails daily. If you have received a card to re port for the Army, for physical examination or a Questionnaire and have not complied you should do so before February 15. State Headquarters say-all cases will be prosecuted after that date. If you are over 45 years of age you will not receive a classification card. •Yancey County Local Board No. 1.
