POPPY DAY TO
BE SATURDAY

Poppy Day will be observed
in Hardin this Saturday when
the little red flowers will be
put on sale by members of the
American Legion Auxiliary.
In commenting on Poppy Day
Mrs. Hazel Christensen, a
member of the committee, said,
wearing a poppy is the indi-
vidual way of honoring the
men who have sacrificed their
lives in the nations service.
The poppy springs from the
blood and tears that are the
price of victory - the price of
freedom in this world of con-
quest and oppression. Again
and again Americans have had
to pay this price to win and
maintain their existence as a
free nation. When we wear
the poppy this year we will be
showing that we are not shrink
ing from paying that great
price once more in order that
we may pass on to Americans
to come the heritage of a free
America"

Instructions were issued to
all local S%elective service boards
in Montana this week providing
for more rigorous classification

iStration, which were men be-
tween the ages of SO to As, who
claim dependents, according to
their occupations, degree of de-
tendency, date when dependen-
cy was acquired, and attitude
toward serving in the armed
forces. They will then proceed
with the Redistribution of
class III regiStrants of the first
and second registrations &C

lations.
Director Birely emphasized
that he has advised local boards
that in classifying men with
dependents, the burden of

self and not on the local boards.
Hereafter before a man may
be placed in class lila or lib
members of the local board
must be absolutely satisfied that
dependents are not acquired for
the purpose of evading the
draft, and it is the concern of
the registrant himself to prove
his good faith in assuming the
support of dependents.
In the event men with de-
pendents are called to active
service, class liza men will be
the first of such group III men
to be selected, according to
present information. Glass liza
men are those men with one
or more dependents and who
