W-F And Ia CID
Must Engage In
Essential Work

Many registrants in class IV-F,
(unfit for military service) and
registrants in class Ia CID, (indi-
eating their age is past thirty Eight
but not past forty-five) in this
state, may not be engaged in war
work or an essential activity, &C.
cording to the information held by
the local board. Local boards have
been requested to forward letters
to such registrants of which the
first paragraph states: According
to information in your file, it is
found that you are not at this time
engaged in work which is essen
tial to the war effort" Upon re-
ceipt of such letter, the first thing
that the registrant, or the employer,
should do is to present to the local
SelectiVe service board current in
formation as to the occupation of
the registrant and request the To-
cal board to make a determination
as to whether or not this work in
which the employee is engaged is
essential to the war effort. Many
have presumed that the informa-
ton held by the local board is the
same information which they hold,
but often times it is information
which was given the local board in
1910, and therefore is obsolete.
Every registrant, employer and
anyone else having knowledge of
any facts which would influence
the classification of a registrant are
obligated under the Selective
Training and Service Act of 1940
as amended, to advise the local
board concerned with this infor-
nation. Each citizen of this state
is urged as a registrant, or en-
ployer, to advise the local boards
with current information as to the
present status of registrants. In
formation submitted should be in
writing since oral information could
not be considered by the local
board.

Prompt Care
Should Be Given
Skin Infection

The skin, as the largest body
organ, is heir to numerous and va
ried ailments of external and in
ternal origin" said DR.. James Grant
Thompson, secretary of the Central
Medical Society, speaking Tuesday
in the interest of the State Board
of Health educational program.
The common affliction mistak-
eniy called ringworm, athlet's foot,
tetta, and other Names" said he,
"has its origin from the outside. but
of allowed to persist, can involve
the whole skin directly or Indirect
ly." The causative germ of this
disease (dermathophytosis of the
feet) DR.. Thompson gave as a fun
gus similar to bread mold. De-
scribing this mold as a one celled
parasite, DR.. Thompson explained
that without water, food, and
warmth the fungus dies. THE wa
ter and heat is supplied by the
sweat from the FOOT" he continued.
food for the fungi is provided
from the outer covering of the
skin"
Explaining that the infection
starts as a banal affair with SIM
pie cracking and msceration be-
tween the toes, DR.. Thompson
warned that the untreated patient
can finally become incapacitated
because of a widespread outbreak
of vesicles or blisters.
If evidence of fungus infection
is noted between the toes, milk
fungicidal remedy may be applied
in time to prevent secondary in
lection, according to the physician.
Pvention of infection
through intelligent care of the feet,
DIR. Thompson warned that there
is no 100 per cent specific remedy
for fungus infection of the feet.

Denies Larceny Charge

Waldo O. Kuhn. supervisor OF

Hospital, today pleaded not guilty
when arraigned before Chief Justice
Edward c. Eicher of District Court
on charges of stealing hospita
property.
At the same time. Justice Eichel
issued a bench warrant for the
arrest of Clarence A. Campbell
colored. former emplove of the
hospitals supply department. who
also was indicted on theft charges
and who had been scheduled fol
arraignment today. The indictments
were returned last Monday.
The two men are charged with
larceny and embezzlement from the
District and also are named in a
charge Of larceny after trust.
Specifically. Kuhn is charged with
taking 80 sacks of cement. six rolls
OF tar paper and 25 gallons of tar

age has made it difficult to assure

supplies of disinfectants ordinarily
used in rinses also are tight, it was
asserted.
AS result of the scarce supply
paper bag dealers are taking care
only of their regular customers and
are distributing their supplies in
small quantities. However, the COM
bination of the necessity to break
bundles in order to spread the supply
and an OPA order permitting higher
prices on less-than-bundle lots has
tended to make the reduced business
more profitable, 1t was asserted.

Paper Cup and Bag Shortage
Facing Christmas Shoppers

Holiday shoppers were faced with
two more shortages today-paper
cups and the all important paper
bags to carry their purchases home
District paper dealers were almost
unanimous in describing the paper
bag shortage as the worst seen yet.
Some of them ascribed the wide
spread nature of the Districts flu
epidemic to unsanitary conditions
resulting from the lack of paper
cups.

putting paper cups under armed
service and defense plant priorities
has forced soda fountains and snack
bars back to crockery and glasses.

Candies al Premium
As Army Of Shoppers
Seeks Them as Gifts
Stores Rotionine Sales
Of Very Limited Supply;
Customers Wuit in Line

If you're willing to stand outside
for an hour, take maple sugar when
you want chocolates, or be content
with a pound when YOU want 5
pounds. YOU may yet be able to give
candy for Christmas.
That's what a survey of District
candy stores revealed today. The
demand has doubled as people try
to make up for the shortage of other
gifts by using candy. The supply
however. hasn't doubled. and the
combination of ratiCning. shortage OF
materials and labor is TO blame.
Many stores stay open just as
long as the supply lasts. When the
supply dWindleS. they count noses
and let into the store only enough
customers to sell the last box. Then
they lock the store and open the
next Gay. If they don't limit sales
they may be open only two hours a
day.
Line Waits an Hour.
One store surveyed opens at noon
Usually. line has been waiting in
the cold for an hour. A saleSgirI
acts as traffic mover The custo-
mers line up along the counter and
sales are made at only one point
Traffic moves steadily past that
point until the store closes a few
| hours later. An amazing number OF
twins appear in Athe line-custo-
mers willing to go through the long
line twice to get exactly one pound
OF candy on each trip.
Another store, we'll known for its
chocolates, has no chocolates today
That store sells out batch of can
dies. closes the counter and makes
another batch. Sometimes people
wait an hour or more for that sec
ond batch and sometimes there are
so many waiting that the hour
wait is futile
A candy company supplying a
dug store chain reported it had
built up supply o. confections for
Christmas but the supply is gone
and the demand hasn't been met
The company said the stores report
their weeks supply is gone in less
than day and the company de-
liverS candy to each store only once
a week.
Sales Sytematized.
( In a department store candy sec
ton, customers come to the counter
and take number out of a box
They're served in that order. The
arrangement prevents arguments
which take time and the saleshelp
has no time. Last year there were
40 salesgirlS in the candy section
at Christmas. This year there are
eight
AS long as the supply lasts. this
candy section will sell any reason
able amount to customer. but the
candy department doesn't know
from day to day how much will be
available. 1t has already exhausted
its quota with most of the manu-
facturers selling it confectione.
It's no longer question of buy
ing what you want said a salesgirl
The customers take whatever they
can get-as long as it's sweet"
