WILL
BE ELIMINATED
Draft Boards Will Arrange
To Induct All Called
Up, Despite Quotas

WASHINGTON, July 21.-tR-
Selective Service announced plans
today for closing Of an administra-
ton loophole which, by pure
chance, might keep man out OF
the armed forces indefinitely, even
though he is qualified for limited
service and is sent repeatedly to
the induction station.
The freak situation developed
from the fact that the Army takes
for limited service only 5 per cent
of the total number accepted each
day at each induction station and
turns back the leftovers, even
though they meet limited service
requirements.
Thus a mans draft board might
send him back for induction an
indefinite number of times, and
get him back again as often, SIM
ply because the per cent quota
might be filled before examiners
got to him.
Under the new plan all men
found at the induction station to
be qualified for limited, but not
general service, will be turned
back to draft boards. They will
be put in new classification
1-A-L, meaning available for linn
tied service at any time.
Each overall quota given a
draft board will include a limited
service quota, approximating per
cent, to be filled from the 1-A-L
classification in order of the men S
numbers in that classification.
There will be no leftovers.

IN HOME FOODS
Most OF Loss Due To Mis-
use OF New Jar Lids,
Says City Agent

Most Of the spoilage Of home
canned foods this summer h q s
been due 70 the misuse Of some
Of the new lar Ids now On the
market" Mrs Faye T. Coleman,
city nome agent, commented
Wednesday.
In an effort TO stop loss Of valu-
able canned goods here, Mrs. Cole
man explained directions for using
the four Kinds Of tops currently
obtainable

With a gold lacquered metal cap

because the lid is flexible the band
should be sealed tightly before pro-
Cessipg ard should not be retight-
ened afterwards, even though the
Land is loose. (There is danger
Of breaking the seal if the band
is tighlened later. Caps rnust not
be allowed 10 sit in water before

into hot water Immediately before
Use Camps my be used only

The new war time lid is a

THE porcelain-lined zinc cap is

partially sealed before processing,
and tightly scaled afterwards.

Some things to look for when
removing theGe tops from the cam
ncr: if there is no jar litter, dip
OFT some Of the water from the
Water-bath Gamer before remov-
ing jars. Take out jars one at
d time and tighten partially sealed
caps at once. Be sure to push
jown the side clamp of a tighten

that were completely sealed.
Most liquid is lost. Don't open
a jar to replace lost LIQUID; seal
as is Coo in the air. Place
jars right side up to cool Never
set them on a cold surface. When
jars have cooled overnight, re-
move screw bands or caps that
have glass or metal disk under
meath; these bands may be used
later. # any band or cap sticks,
let it stay. Forcing may break
the seal.
'"To test, carefully tilt a cooled
jar 10 see if it leaks. It it leaks,
open and heat the contents. Pro-
cess again in another jar with a
new closure.
IF any rubber ring protrudes

FINANCE FLASHES

Anyone who really knows us cannot deny that Finance men are the most "going to schoolinest" bunch of soldiers on the Base. Cur rently we are getting we'll into a Finance Study Course, under the direction of various section heads. One is sometimes tempted to won- der what goes through the mind of an instructor as he stands up there at that early hour, wishing he were back in bed, and having to look into the disgruntled, sleepy, unhappy, faces of the would-be students. All joking aside, though, if there must be a school, this is probably doing more good than any so far undertaken.
 M/Sgt. Whitbeck is about to fin ish a series of lectures on Officers Day, with a big rip-roaring final examination scheduled for Monday morning. Whitbeck seems to have covered the subject very well-in spite of the heckling from the dark corners dished out by S/Sgt. Bat ten, former auditor and expert on the subject. The boys who just sit and listen, though, are looking forward with a knowing look in their eyes, to the day when Batten starts featuring on Mileage & Per Diem, with Bakeras member of the auolence. It will take the whole H. brary of Decisions of the Comp troller General of the United States to keep that one straight.
 Now that the sun doesn't come up until the middle of soldiers day, the newlyweds from points not far from Bradley Field, (andor)

Telephone serv- ice to the various domiciles seems to be the answer, and we're sure that nice 1st Sergeant wouldn't mind calling everybody at a speci- fled hour to let them know whether to come in early.
 Notice to all neophite card play ers-the other fellow likes to play his own hand without advice. And if you're just watching-just watch.
 WO Sadlon is back from the hos pital after having his walking ap- paratus repaired. Now all military personnel can return to their nor nal activities.
 Once again the Chief Clerk is the big boy around here. Hard as it may be on him, it's relief to all the lesser members to have some one who will take the rap and re- sponsibility. Notice: we specified that military personnel can return to normal.
 Once again it's time just to beat the deadline; but there's thought we'd like to leave with all future basketball referees. If the game be- tween the Medics and Finance had been any rougher, who would be left today to patch up the ills and pay the bills?
