Of Pu|pwood

Notices Are Sent Out
To LocuI Boards
By Director Hershey
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The cutting of pulpwood has been
designated specifically as an essen
tial occupa ton, strengthening the
eligibility Of workers to obtain oc-
cupational draft defermenst.
Notices weroSsent to local boards
by Selective Service Director Lewis
B. Hershey.
The action has long been prom
ised by the Committee on Essential
Activities of the War Manpower
Commission, which has supervision
of selective service The committee
several weeks ago notified employ
ment service Offices that cutting of
pulpwood should be considered as
included in the essential classical
ton given forestry, logging and
numbering and production of pulp
wood
Preferential Hiring Rights.
This gave employers of pulpwood
cutters the preferential hiring rights
that go to all essential employers.
Neither the notice to Employment
Service nor that to draft boards con-
fers an essential rating on the proc
essing of pulpwood for newsprint,
nor do the notices to draft boards
guarantee deferment from the draft
on occupational grounds to all pulp
wood cutters Local boards will con-
tinue to have wide discretion in
granting or withholding deferment
and will be guided in their decisions
by factors in the individual case,
especially by the availability of a
replacement for the prospective
draftee
Cutting of pulpwood has long been
one of the grounds on which occu-
patton deferment might be granted
to men engaged in farm work
