Single Registrars and
With Wives Only
Are Being Called

State Headquarters of selective SER
vice announced today that the present
policy which is guiding the local bo-
ards in filling the calls made on
them for manpoWer by the armed for
ces is very clearly stated.
All registrants who are single or
with wives only are subject to clas-
sification and induction now. All re-
gistrantS with wives and children
are urged an essential activity where
it is hoped that they may stay.
Necessary occupations are being
considered in the light of mainten-
ance of production. No consideration
can be given the individual who is
single or with wife only If produ-
ction can be continued by placing a
registrant with a wife and child with
whom he maintains a bona fide re-
lationship which existed prior to Sep
TENDER 16, 1910 in place of regis
trant who is single, or who has wife
only, then this must be done This in
turn releases the single registrant
or one with a wife only for the armed
forces.
Any occupational deferrment mu-
st be temporary and until repla-
cemnt can be obtained. Employers
are now obliged to secure and train
requirements from womn, registrants
ewith wives and children, and those
PHYSICALLY unfit for AMI military SER
vice.
1t Col. Lawrence w. Long, state
director, stated that if the move was
made by the family man, registrant
with wife and child or children, now
into essential activities, it is not ex-
pected that this group would be cal
led for military service. But if a lar
gre number of singl men and those
with wives only are lftee in essn-
tial activities, it would be necessary
to dip into the group of family men
to meet the anticipated calls.
Local boards have been urged to
consider all class lila registrants
for class lib Family man engaged
in an essential activity.
