COU INCL OF
NATIONAL
DEFEN Sc

The changing of rulings as to
classlfications of drafted men
causes some confusion. especially
since married men have been
for service. and much pressure
has been brought to bear on the
Local and District Board to
change classifications. and have
men at home for reasons rang
Ing from corn crops to depend
ent invalid wives, and prOspec-
tive dependent children. Many
of these claims are sufficient to
reclasfify the one appealing, but
most of them have let the FIVE
days allowed for au appeal to
elapse. and they are debarred
from the benefits of such claims.
This is no fault of the Local
Board
There are two factions in the
county that are making some
trouble that will be far reach
ing if continued. One side wish
certaln-individuals kept out OF
army service at any cost, and go
to extremes The other side
wishes all in draft age to go in
to service, regardless of the Cir
cumstances. Between the two
many strange stories start about
classificatiOns Somebody is mis-
taken There are either some
bad rulings OF boards, or radical
misunderstanding of Erulinga

ing this can be legally cleared at
once, and if any injustice is being
done this board. it will be vindi-
