MEN OVER % TO
BE CLASSIFIED
Although Deferred They Must
Conform to Orders of the
Various Boards
PENALTY FOR FAILURE

Although deferred from military
training, registrants over % years
old must conform to orders from
their local draft boards or be liable
to penalties prescribed for dellin-
quents, ig.-Gen. William Berl, ,Jr.,
state director of selective service,
said. While an amendment to the
selective training and service act
precludes induction of men who
were % years of age or older on
July /, 1941, these registrants must
live up to the other obligations i'm
posed upon them by the act, he ex-
planned. Questionnaires must be
filed at the request of the regis
trants' local boards, General
Berl said, and any registrant who
fails to comply with such requests
may be considered as delinquent
and be liable to fine or imprison-
ment, or both, under the penalty
clause Of the act. Although these
registrants must file question
naires, when it becomes evident
that they are deferred because OF
age they will be placed in the
proper deferred classification. 1t is
intended, he declared, that hereaf-
ter registrants who are deferred
by reason of age will continue to be
classified in the same manner as
other registrants, except that they
will be given no physical examina-
tion, and except that those of such
registrants who are being classified
for the first time and who are not
classified into Glass w. Glass III,

| How TO become
| A SKILLED8
DRIVER -
BY RAY W. SHERMAN

FORD GOOD DRIVERS LEAGUE
OPERATING THE CLUTCH

Learning to operate the clutch
without jerking or jumping the car is
not easy. But remember, only skilled
drivers are smooth drivers. They
understand the clutch and use it
correctly.
Try this procedure in your drive
way or on an untraveled street:
Drive the car at crawl speed. In low
gear and with the engine turning
over slowly, you can control the
speed of the moving car with your
left foot on the clutch pedal. Find
the spot in clutch movement where
the car crawls at one mile an hour.
Clutch movement at this stage will
be very slight. The important thing
is learning to locate the spot where
the clutch goes out. This point con-
trolls movement of the car. Practice
the maneuver described above. 1t
will help you to master the clutch.

CRAB INDUSTRY
/ MAY BE SAVED
Report Good Results of
Sponge Crab Planted in
Crisfield Waters
COOPERATION SOUGHT

Promising reports are already
being received as the result of ex-
periments recently carried out
when 500 baskets of sponge crabs
from Virginia were brought to
Crisfield waters and released. Ac-
cording to Ebbert L. Quinn, Girls
field city councilman, Watermen
are reporting that the waters are
fairly alive with young crabs, some
so small they can barely be seen
by the naked eye. The expert
ment, it is said, if successful, will
show that if sponge crabs were
planted in Maryland waters this
state would again be leading crab
producing center as it once was.
Quinn cited as an example of ex-
perimentation by pointing out the
shad industry on the Pacific coast.
He said shad are not native there.
But shad fry were transported
from the east coast and placed in
streams that empty into the Pa
cific, and today, he said, the west
coast has large and growing shad
industry. ''The thing we need
most" stated Quinn, "is coopera-
tion from Virginia; cooperation in
stopping entirely or largely limit
ing the use of sponge crabs; coop
GRAFTON by dong away with crab
traps, which, by the best estimate
obtainable, amount to more than
80, 1000 now in use in that state"

HALLOWEEN

Comes the last of October and the
frolicsome holiday which we term
Halloween. There will be the usual
harvest festivals at this time and
masquerade parties bringing out
weird and charming costumes from
the attic trunks. Busy the hands
making COLLINS out of pumpkins, tic
taos out of spools, preparing for ap-
pie ducking, making games of for
tunes and gathering in autumn
leaves and corn shocks for decora-
Eions. Each year you believe you
have outgrown the enjoyment of
October 31st. You feel you are too
old to appreciate and laugh off
the deviltry that seems to accom-
pany the occasion and each year
you decide you won't stand for any
nonsense next year from the neigh
borhood children. And here we are
again in KenneWick taking in the
porch furniture, locking the garage
door, leaving the screens on the win
dows until after the soaping stunt
is over. Pop some corn and have ap-
piles and candy on hand to give the
youthful "beggars" on their nigh.
OF course you aren't too old for Hal
loween, at least not until next year.

The best side show that the coun-
try has seen for some time is the
one being put on by the administra-
tion in its pretended efforts to con-
troll prices and prevent initiation.
The administration, and everyone
connected with it, knows that neith-
er prices nor initiation can be con-
trOlled as long as no effort is made
by the administration to control
wages. Our guess is that a ceiling
will be put on business profits and
ON farm prices, but the labor gate
will be left wide open. The wise
man, in spite of all the promises of
controlled prices and curbed infla-
ton, will handle his affairs just
as though no effort were being made
to curb initiation because initiation
is coming. .....s..
