Pay for Local Board.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has changed his ruling with regard to
pay for local boards. The fact was
announced in kilograms to these
boards last Friday and Saturday.
Some weeks ago the head draft Off
cials decided that the members OF To-
cal boards should receive 81 per hour
each. That compensation has obtain
ed since. Now comes an order ex-
planning that many boards have been
too free with this allowance and IT
has been found necessary to pay for
the work by the pieces cents for
each QUESTIONABLE. At this rate the
compensation for the two York county
boards will be about $1,000 to be di-
vided among six people.

uary Ill have been given permis-
sion TO resume my letters to The
Yorkville Enquirer and through this
medium to tell the fathers and
mothers Of York county who have
boys in the army. Just what those
boys are doing from week to week
how they are faring and in gen.
eral way all about them. don't
mean that | am going to be able to
tell just what each individual York
countian Is doing and all Of that be-
cause ! don't have opportunity TO see
many OF them due to the fact that
am in a regiment OF North Carolin-
ians. Those North Carolinians, though
are boys. pretty much the same as
those Of York county-in fact II you
were to place any one OF them beside
a draft man from York county and
didn't know either. you couldn't tell
them apart. The York county boys
however are doing the same work and
faring just the same rs are us North
Carolinians." so when write Of
them you may be assured that the
same applies to your Tom or John or
Bill or Henry.
This permission OF mine is condi-
tional. There is nothing special about
II. Every man who has the inclina-
tion and can find the time has the
same privilege. Among the condi-
tions governing the privilege are:
/. Every article | write must be
proffered the Division Censor before
1t is printed in The Enquirer. II 1t
doesn't suit the censor, why II does
not appear In The Enquirer. that's
all. And that il not bad. Before I
