fled back to the various local boards to
be called for military service within
the next few days was the statement
made Monday by Judge E. J. Reagan,
chairman of the district board
Judge Reagan said that the board
had only to act upon the exemption
claims or appeals from a few of the
local boards under its jurisdiction be-
fore II would have the first call ready.
Enough men already have been passed
on in large majority of the divisions
to furnish the five per cent that will
be called this week. according to Judge
Reagan.
The district board resumed the con-
sideration of claims and appeals Mon
day morning after a recess lasting since
FRIDAY afternoon. During the recess,
however, the clerical force was kept
busy getting things in order for the
board to resume its sittings. The force,
now in charge of NJ. NJ. Neese, of Fair
burn, has been enlarged and IL is prob
able that even more clerks will have
to be added later. so rapid is the volume
Of business before the board growing.
While the district board is hard at
work on appealed claims and industrial
and agricultural exemption claims, most
of the Atlanta local boards are resting
on their oars. while others are busy
with routine work.

| ond ward) on Monday morning began
the examination of 65 men. 4 like num-
Der has been called for examination on

ready secured it's quota Of 10, an ad-
ditionsl call was made so as to be on
the safe side and have plenty of men on
| hand should they be needed.
As another step forward in the plans
| to call the men into service, care for
| them before they are sent to Camp Cor
| don and TO furnish them with trans
portation, the local boards on Tuesday
received meal tickets and requisiIon
blanks for transportation for the men.
