quirements of the armed forces with
out impairing war production is no
ted at this time.
Single registrants and registrants
with wives only must of necessity
be called to the colors. Many of these
men now occupy positions as "necess-
airy men" They are entitled to defer
ments for such a period of time as
is necessary for a replacement to be
secured Of trained. AS a result of
this orderly process Of Withdrawals
manning tables have been designed
TO provide a standard basis for gran
ting necessary deferments within an
industry, plant or farm for period
according to the relative essentially
of the jobs therein. 1t is important
that such tables be prepared by in
dustry and agriculture based on jobs
and not individuals. When completed
it shows a grouping of jobs from top
to bottom with definite graduation
of training and skill required to fill
the positions. All employers of Mis-
sissippi, engaged in necessary ac-
tivity are urged to study such plan
with the idea of inventorying their
jobs and the necessity for securing
of training replacements now.
