 John L. Mccormick, Territor- ial Director of selective Service, announced today the Selectiye System has adopted a more strin- gent policy regarding the defer ment of men from military ser vice. Irreplaeeable men who are absolutely essential to thenation- al health, safety, and interest will continue to be deferred Dir ector Mccormick emphasized, however, that there remains a clear responsibility upon each employer to present clearly to local boards the necessity for de- ferment in each individual case Unless and until this necessity is proven, the local board will not defer a man who is qualified for general military service. The Dir ector pointed out that we are now passing through that phase where many employers feel that each employee is an essential man. A close examination of the facts shows that in many inst apces these employees can readi- ly be replaced. Where such replace

 One party from Kodiak went to the island and found it desert. ed, and after waiting two days returned here and 1t was on che second trip, made by Harmon, that Daly was found.

WHEN SHOULD A FAMILY
BORROW IN WARTIME?

AHANY PEOPLE hesitate to borrow
A~1 in wartime. Their hesitation is
justified This is time to avoid debts
If you can do so without undue hard
ship. 1t is better for you and for the
war effort to reduce your debts if
you can.
Before you get loan in these times.
be sure that you really need it. Much
borrowing which is reasonable enough
in peacetime now appears extrava-
CANT and unwarranted. Don't borrow
to buy something you may be able to
get along without. Don't get loan
to pay for trip which you may not
need to take at all. Don't borrow to
buynew things if you can make your old
things do for the duration. In short, be-
fore you borrow, ask yourself if a loan
is necessary and will be really helpful.
