der the present law. Males now
subject to military service are those
between 20 and As years of age.
New announcements regarding the
14-day furlough which will be grant
ed to draftees, following their ac-
ceptance at induction centers, also
were made last week by state select
i've service headquarters.
Automatic granting of the 14-day
furlough Originally was to have be-
come effective about the middle of
June, but now it appears that the
system will not be put into opera
ton until after July /.
Allowing the two weeks furlough
is designed to provide an opportunity
for inductees to attend to personal
affairs before entering the army.

Racial Problem Still Not Solved
In South, Former Residents State

ously carried out and enforced by
custom. The Negroes live in one
section of town and the white people
in another.
All of the theatres have special
sections in the galleries for the col
ored people and separate drinking
fountains are maintained for each
race.
Many of the Negroes work on
farms for just their food, clothing,
shelter and little spending money.
It is possible to obtain a good Negro
worker for about one dollar day.
New tensions and problems are
arising in the South as the result
of the federal policy of employing
as many Negroes as exist proportion
ally in the population on jobs involv-
ing federal contracts.
Generally the white and colored
workers do not work together in the
same plant and if the federal policy
is carried out to any extent racial
clashes will be a likelihood, it was
stated.
Altho progress in the Improvement
of racial relations is very slow there
is some evidence of a growing toler-
ance. Some of the educational and
church leaders are holding interra-
cial conferences for the improvement
of conditions between the two races.

Snake Is Friend Of Man And Should Not
BE Killed, Bluffton Boy Says On Radio

"A Key to the Turtles of the United
States" which he is now preparing.
Nothing has been written about this
class of reptillia and young Triple
horn is gathering his data not only
on the basis of available scientific
literature but on observation of the
turtles in an especially constructed
pool in the back yard of his home
on South Main street.
At the present time his collection
includes seven turtles, ten lizards
and 25 snakes. He captures most
of them using leather gloves and
snake hooks and carries them home
in a bag which was formerly his
mothers onion sack. In some cases
people here have given reptiles TO
him and in other cases he has sent
to geological supply houses to pus-
chase some of the more rare speci-
mems.
INEXPENSIVE HOBBY
So far his hobby has not proven
very expensive having spent only
five dollars for his collection which
includes the cost of pens which he
built largely from odds and ends.
His hobby has brought him in con-
tact with a number of interesting
characters. In Toledo he spent an
entire day with Frank Bring 'em-
back-alive" Buck, famous African
explorer. He had his picture taken
with Buck who gave him an auto
graphed copy of his book.
He met William Bettridge presi-
dent of the Toledo Zoo and Jerry
Hipp, curator of reptiles at the zoo.
In the radio program Charles pointed
out that he plans to continue his
hobby into his life vocation hoping
ultimately to be a curator of reptiles
in one of the ZOOS of the country.
Charles has been encouraged in his
hobby by Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Zesh-
bach, of the Zehrbach apartments OF
Main street, who have presented him
with many books on the subject OF
reptiles.
Since early childhood he has beer
interested in nature study but has
specialized in the three branches of
reptiles, which includes aligators
turtles, lizards and snakes, for the
past three years.

Merchant Marine Sailors Prefer
Long Trips, BlufftOn Seaman Says

may leave the merchant marine upon
the completion of any freight haul
at which time he would be subject
to the draft. The pay is excellent
and is maintained at high levels in
order to attract men to job which
in recent months has proven to be
hazardous.
prefer LONG TRIPS
In view of the frequency of recent
coastal sinkings most of the sailors
would rather take the longer trips.
1t is a common opinion among the
sailors that the German submarines
are being refueled in American wat
ers in view of the fact that prac-
ticaly all of the sinkings have taken
place within few miles of the
shore.
Practically no sinking have been
recorded far out at sea. All of the
long hauls are in conveys which
means assurance of far safer trip
than the coastwise iaunts, Kohl
pointed out.
The seamen work eight hours a
day but with changing shifts at all
times. The work includes not only
routine labor on the ship but also a
specified portion OF the time to be
devoted to watch duty.
TINE OFF
During the seaman's time off he
may do as he chooses. Many of
them go on deck; others read, listen
to the radio or play cards.
Some of the seamen are students
working their way through college.
Kohl bunked with a Harvard law
student who would cruise long
enough to earn sufficient funds for
the next term at the college. His
entire college course was an alter
alton of cruising and studying.
Kohl stated that he got the urge
to go to sea from watching the YES
sells go in and out of the harbor at
Baltimore and from participating in
test runs of new ships in the Chesa-
peake Bay.
He carries his seamanship papers
with him and says that he enjoys
life at sea very much and after
several days on land looks forward
to getting back in active duty as a
seaman again.

Symbolic of all the young Amer
lean men who fight and die for their
country is the stirring tale of Nath-
an Hale, hero of the American Revo-
luton, whose birthday the nation
celebrated last Saturday. He was
born on June 6, 1853, of quiet self
respecting family.
He was just an ordinary boy who
like his good times, who did fairly
we'll in school, was well spoken of in
his community, and then just at the
start of his career he enlisted in
the country's forces.
A counterpart of his life can be
found in Bluffton and in every small
community in the United States. He
was not especially articulate and his
letters home were nothing unusual
Yet he is the spokesman for all
