INDUCTION INTO SERVICE

A NEWS ITEM from Washington says that government will not induct into the service exempted during the period of strike This question to the status of the discharged by the Remington Arms company If they have status strikers their induction info service will not immediately follow If the government regards them longer employed essential work they be sent C the colOrs.
 The position of these must be regarded critical, cep in the of those who prefer military duty to industrial service probably few of these for exemption essential work seldom given Wio does not want it.
 All the selected persons stand upon equal plane anC have the duty until employer ceres tha the particular person doing such necessary work he can not be taken without great loss and injury.
 When the exempted is no longer employed he is re- Gured notify his draft board within five days thereafter his employer required to do the The requirement compulsory upon both.
 With respect to the discharged men, it is difficult to set how they regain exemption unless their employer who ask exemption, his claim, unless another em poyer is found who will make the claim.
 The situation is exceedingly difficult, and presents con dion that must be attributed to very poor leadership.
 The most reasonable view is that all Remington exempt ed employees have been discharged liable for military duty.

DOCTORS WILL BE
 100 PER CENT

Dr. Charles c. Godfrey, member of the Medical Section, State Council of Defence, declared that though the medical men of this city have not all registered as requested by the Gov ernment for the Volunteer Medical Corps, the city of Bridgeport will be one hundred per cent. About 35 or 40 of the 164 men already enrolled are classed in the Medical Reserve Corps, class 1. It is thought that none of the medical men will be classed ineligible, but the remainder not in the Reserve Corps will 'be placed in the Volunteer Corps.
 This call from the Government is for the enrolment and classification of all the medical men of the coun- try, who have not received commits sions either in the Army or Navy and who have no connections with the Government service at present; it is ealing for the honorable volunteer of physicians, male and female, gradu- ates of legal medicine colleges or schools.
 The doctors will not be called for service until they are needed and then will be placed in the Army, Navy, or in the Public Health Ser vice. The first class, Medical Re serves, for men fit to fight under 40 years of age; the second class is for men under 55 for the Volunteer Medf- cal Corps and home force over 55. Dr. Godfrey firmly believes that the medi- cal men of the city of Bridgeport will not fail to answer this call, and all register within this week.

attention of the patrons of the rural
delivery lines to the necessity of keep
ing the roads open if they wanted SER
vice If the roads were not kept clear,
there would be no mail. The carrier
is not obliged to make roads, The habit
OF sitting in the house and cussing the
carrier and Uncle Sam for not get
ting the mail promptly will have to
cease says this postmaster, and the
work done on the roads. In this con-
nection it may also be stated that in
the delivery of mail in Ladysmith. it
will be necessary for the people to keep
the sidewalks clear and to have the
drifts shoveled away The carrier
need not deliver mail if the way is
blockaded. In addition to his work as
a carrier he does not have to be a

There is an apparent get-together
spirit in Ladysmith on all sides. The
meeting of the retail merchants of the
Chamber of Commerce membership on
Friday evening, was one OF the moves
in the right direction. In every city
the merchants must be organized TO
successfully combat the mail order
houses and to secure a proper credit
rating on the customer. In all cities
where business is not done on a cash
basis, the need of credit rating or
ganization is apparent 1t invariably
happens that the cash customer has to
pay the losses made by the bad cred
its. To correct and minimize this is one
of the aggressise steps planned by the
retail merchants of Ladysmith, and an
active division OF the work OF the
Chamber of Commerce.
