Notice To Farmers

My attention has been called to
the fact that, many farmers, thru-
out the State of Maryland in the
past, have not had their farm help
properly classified at the time they
registered with the local Draft
boards.
After classification has been made
these farmers have requested the
Draft boards to reclassify their help,
which is extra work and trouble.
I have been requested by the
State Headquarters, to notify the
farmers of Cecil county, to claim de-
ferment, and have their farm labor
properly classified, when they reg
lister with the local Draft board.
r. H. BAKER,
Chairman of Cecil County
Farm Labor Commission

ployer's, house 1t has been suggested
that the servant get his own ration
book and turn 1t over to the employ
err so long as he continues to get his
meals there. The ration book, of
course, would have to be returned

rest OF his meals at his own home 1t
will be up to the servant and en-

take between five and eight min
utes or each person to register.

one ration book?

will be issued to each individual.
However, IL person registers for
more than one person he will get a
ration book in the name of each
person.
Q.--Who will serve as registrars?
/ A.--All schoolteachers in the city
will serve as registrars. The prin-
cipals Of the various schools have
been placed in charge Of organizing
the registrars. 1t is estimated that
Baltimore city will need about
1000 registrars. This will make 1t
necessary for school principals to re-
cruit volunteer registrars.
