Exemption Board Allows Over 70 De-
 pendency Claims Thursday-First
 Six Men to Go to Aver Desisnated-
 Judge Reed to Hold Short Calendar
 Session Today-Many Pullman Cars
 Taken Through to Maine.
 Applying the rule relative to de- pendents recently expounded in official nmunications from Provost Marshal General Crowder to the local exemption boards throughout the country, the local board for this di- nam, Killingly. Thompson. Woodsto, Eastford and Ashford, allowed the eX emption claims of the great majority of the more than 70 men who appeared nere Thursday to have their claims heard.
 Briefly, this means that where de- pendence of others for support on the registrant is actual exemptions are being allowed. The boaJd is accepting no men whose going away for army service would make it necessary for their dependents to go to work.
 In line with what is now being done on dependency claims, the local board for this district will revoke its de- cisions on dependency cases heretofore heard and not allowed and will review all such cases, so that the decisions upon them will be in line with the de- cisions made on like cases Thursday.
 The result of this will be a delay in filling the districts quota, but suffi- cient number of men will be available to meet all of the calls expected dur ing September and possibly a suffi- cient number of men will te obtained without calling more men for physical eXamina- ions.
 When the Wife Works Also.
 Some married men were accepted Thursday for service. their exemption claims being disallowed. This group includes men who, though married, have no children and whose wives are at work steady, they have been for years past, and have a separate earn ing capacity as great, or nearly so, as that of the husband. In such cases a husbands claim that his wife is de- pendent upon him for support is not allowed.
 Other dependency claims, such as son claiming support of a widowed mother were denied on the evidence given by registrants that other mem bers of the family were working and earning liberal amounts each week and also living with the mother
