Draft Board.

J. H. Solstad. one of the five men
who constitute the district draft
board. in discussing the work be-
ing handled by the board stated that
in the three meetings Of the board
members held since the new regula-
tons became effective the board has
been in session from 16 to % days
and have passed or approximately
all of those placed in class l..
Returns from the SO local boards
throughout the state in many in
stances are very slow, he stated, and
as a consequence they are not in de-
mando Of sufficient work to remain in
session for any great length of time.
He stated, however, that he expect
ed to return to Bismarck within the
course of a few days. Deferred class
%sifcations which have not yet been
taken up will number between 10000
and 50,000,' Mr.. Solstad said, and he
anticipates it will be a more difficult
task than passing on the other claims
due to the complications covered un-
der this classification.
