APPEAL BOARDS
NOT INSTRUCTED
ARDM0RE DISTRICT MEMBERS
HAVE NO DEFINITE IDEA AS
TO SCOPE OF DUTIES.

appeals for the district in which Ard
more is located have no definite idea as
TO the scope of their duties and will
not meet to organize until they receive
instruction from Washington
The fact that three of the members
are from Ardmore Okmugee and lie
high indicates that this district com
prises practically all of the oil counties
of the east side, which will make il the
most important of the three boards
owing to the fact that the percentage
of men Of draft age is higher in the oil

The board will have its original ju
risdiction In cases where Industrial oc.

one may appeal to them from the find.

Most of the appointments were rec.
commended by the Oklahoma senators
in Washington and confirmed by the
governor. Various congressman also

next day or two. From the fact that
there are two eastern districts TO the
one western district ii is the impression
that the state will be divided much ac.
cording to the lines of the two terrific.
ries before statehood: that the counties
Of old Oklahoma will be included i'm the
western district, and the old Indian Ter.
ritory side will be divided into the two
eastern districts. That there should be
two boards for the eastern half of the
state is accounted for from the fact
that there are so many industries on
the east side for which exemptions may
be claimed, but what the alignment will
he Is not known at this time.
