The Southern operators offered to

They said the II per cent increase

New Selecters To
Be Treated Fuirly
Not To Head List. But Will
Be Placed On Coll In
Proportion

The 21-year-old men who register
ed for Selective Service on July
will be integrated for induction
among previous registrants with or
der numbers larger than the last in
ductee of their local board, National
Headquarters, Selective Service Sys-
tenn announced yesterday.
Rather than TO place these youth
full new registrants ahead or after
the older registrants on their local
board lists, it has been decided to
integrate them proportionately, Brig.
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Deputy Di-
rector of Selective Service, stated.
For an example, General Hershey
said, if there should happen to be 10
new registrants in an area and 100
old registrants awaiting call, one new
registrant would be placed after each
group of 10 old registrants.
The order in which the new regis
trants will be integrated with the old
ones will be determined by nation
al lottery to be held in the National
Capital within the next few weeks. A
set of serial numbers, each preceded
by the letter "S," from "S-1" to in
clude the largest number used by any
local board in assigning serial mum
bers to the July 1st registrants, then
will be drawn by lot. The serial
numbers in the order they are drawn
in the lottery will constitute a mas
ter list to be used by local boards in
assigning Sequence Numbers" to
their July 1st registrants, in this man
ner:
The registrant in each local board
area whose serial number appears al
the top or nearest the top of this sec
ond master list will be given Csc
quence Number /" in his area; the
registrant whose serial number is next
closest to the top will receive Csc
quence Number 81 and so on until
each July 1st registrant has a Sc
quence number.
AS was the procedure in connec-
tion with the previous national lot
terry in October 1910, local boards will
. cross off on the second master list
and ignore those serial numbers that
are not held by any registrant in
their areas.
When sequence numbers have beer
assigned to all new registrants, the
local boards will assign each of these
! registrants an order number to be
determined by integrating them
among the old registrants. This
means that the new registrant with
Sequence No. l in his local board
area will receive the lowest order
number assigned to his group, anc
the registrant with the largest Sc
quence number will receive the high
est order number for the same group

Fledgling Flyers
GoToCuliforniu
Will Spend Thirty Weeks
On West Coast For Their
Entire Course

Fledgling Army flyers from Ohio,
Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana
who last week began training in Cali
fornia probably will remain on the
west coast for their entire 30-week
course, it was revealed today at Fifth
Corps Area Headquarters, Fort
Hayes, Columbus, Ohio.
Sent to civilian primary flying
schools at Ontario, Oxnard and Santa
Maria, Calf, as part of the Fifth
Corps Areas July class, the future
pilots are expected to spend their
second and third ten weeks at basic
and advanced schools in California
and Arizona. Basic schools on the
west coast include those at Moffet
field, Bakersfield, Taft, Ontario and
Merced, California, and Higley and
Phoenix, Ariz. Advanced schools are
located at Phoenix, Ariz., where pur-
suit, attack and observation person
mel train in single-engine planes, and
at Stockton, Mather field, Victorville
and Lemoore, Calf, where transport
and bombardment two-engine train
ing is offered.
Ironically, the cadets are spending
their first ten weeks within but a
few miles of the nations charm CEN
ter, Hollywood, but have little time
for glamor. Precise training sched-
ules, routing them out of bed at $50
a. M, tucking them in by 9 p. m.,
keep them too busy for partying ex-
cept on week-ends.
Other members Of the July class
are training in Texas and Oklahoma
where, like in California, ideal flying
weather prevails.
Aviation Cadet scholarships, pay
ing $1O5 monthly plus lodging and
equipment and leading to $245 month
ly salaries as second lieutenants plus
a $500 yearly bonus, are available
through all Army recruiting offices.
Applicants must be single men at
least 20 years old and not yet q.

ton Of two agreements, providing

tions with pay for approximately 81

ment with the p. Lorillard Company

workers., machinists, firemen and oil
ers, warehousemen and teamsters
employed in Richmond, Jersey City,
and Louisville.
The second covers all production
workers in the Lancaster, Pennsyl-
vania Plant of the Consolidated Ci-
gar Corporation. This agreement
followed an election in which the CT
gar Makers International Union won
over the CIO, thus becoming the cer-
titled bargaining agency for approx

Women Operate More
Machines Thun Men

Women and girls operate more ma
chimes of various types in the home,
factory, office and community than
are operated by men and boys. De-
spite this fact many schools still fail
to provide a satisfactory program of
activities to give girls well-round-
ed industrial intelligence.
Maris M. Profftt, U. S. Office of
Education Consultant and Specialist
in Industrial Education, made this
statement today. He said, "Women
purchase, use and care for the great
variety of industrial products found
in the modern home. Approximately
one-third of all automobile drivers in
our country are women. About IA
per cent Of all persons gainfully en-
ployed in manufacturing and mechan-
ical industries before the defense pro-
gram was launched were women. Yet
the school program lags when it
comes to providing girls and women
with knowledge useful to them in ad-
justing themselves to their industrial
environment"
Meeting the Need
How some public school industrial
arts programs are being adapted and
expanded to meet the needs of girls
and young women for informat ton and
experiences related to home and COM
munity activities and interests are re-
viewed by DR.. Proffitt in U. S. Of
flee of Education pamphlet report on
"Trends in Industrial Arts" He
points out that among activities in
certain industrial arts classes appeal
ing to girls are: House planning,
use of electricity in the home, home
mechanics, art jewelry, ceramics, wood
finishing, photography and consumer
education.
Social Security Board, Region V
Married women who are returning
to work after several years of serv-
ice as homemakers must have social
security account numbers if employed
in commerce or industry. Women who
have not worked in such employment
since January l, 1887, are obtaining
social security account cards through
the Youngstown field office Of the So
cial Security Board.
"Such women, in most cases, had
no previous use for a social security
account number" it was said today
by Glenn H. Pittenger, manager of
the Youngstown office.
"There are many other women who
obtained social security account num-
bers made out in their maiden names
and who are now returning to work
after periods of time devoted exclu-
sively to homemaking. These women
should visit our office and arrange to
have new social security cards issued,
bearing their married names, but
bearing the original social security
account number. This will assure the
workers of prompt recording of their
wages on a single account which will
be the basis of future benefits they
may receive under old-age and sur
vivors insurance"
