Local Men up for
PHYSICAL Exams

The District Board has finally
acted upon the selection of three
Advisory Members TO serve with
it in the coming draft, and the
nominees have agreed to accept
these appointments, effective i'm
mediately. The men selected are
as follows: Mr.. Samuel H. Derby,
Woodside, advises particularly on
agricultural problems; Mr.. An
drew Bryson, New Castle, advises
particularly ON industrial prob
llTns; and Mr.. Fred H. Gawthrop,
Wilmington, advises on general oc-
equations and empcoyments involv-
ed with the financial, commercial,
educational, hospital work, public
health and various other activities
of like nature, not included under
the specific heads of agriculture
and industry.
These men, in their respective
fields, are expected to keep them
selves as fully informed of the en-
ployment conditions as possible.
They will sit with the District
Board whenever they wish to bring
any special cases or witnesses to
the attention of the Distrit Board,
which they feel require attention,
submitting their advice as to the
best action in the interest of the
National emergency at the time.
Where certain registrants, holding
positions of Importance to the Ma
tional emergency, are opposed to
entering claims for deferred CLASH
fication ON their industrial, agri-
cultural or general occupations,
the Advisory Members are empow-
cred to enter claims for such
registrants, so that missionaries
may be suitably submitted to the
District Board for action.
The Advisory Members have full
access to all records of the Local
and District Boards, SO that they
MAY investigate and study any
special cases which appear to them
l as being essential. These appoint
ments are based upon recently is
