Two War Directors
Begin Work on Farms
18 More Will Arrive
Shortly in Montgomery

Farm life began today for the
first two of 20 conscientious OBJ
jectors who have volunteered to
work on Montgomery County dairy
farms.
The two men arrived yesterday
at the United States Employment
Service Office in Silver Spring, where
they were interviewed by their
prospective employers. The remain
ing 18 conscientious objectors are
expected to arrive today,i Monday
and Tuesday.
The 20 men are among 500 who
will be placed on dairy farms in
Is counties in the country in an
effort to help alleviate the labor
shortage. Montgomery is the only
Maryland county participating in
the program.
All of the 500 men have had pre-
vious experience in dairy farm work
and will be employed on farms
where the shortage of skilled labor
is most acute.
Farmers hiring the men will pay
prevailing wages, including board
and room, to the National Service
Board for Religious Directors, which
is acting as the agent for the Sc
lective Service System. An allow
ance for clothing, toilet articles and
so forth. will be given the conscien-
tious objectors out of the wages.
The counties in which the men
will work were selected by the Agri-
culture Department, which insti-
tuted the program.

New Ration Books
For Virginia 10 Be
Mailed al Richmond
1000 Volunteers Will Be
Sought to Hell p Handle
100000 Copies
BY the Associated Press,

RICHMOND, May 1.-Richmond
has been selected as the mailing
center from which approximately
100000 copies of War Ration Book
No. 3 will be distributed through the
mail by the Office of Price Admin
istration throughout Virginia.
Officials of the three OPA district
Offices in Virginia said, however,
that issuance of the new book is not
to be construed as a forerunner of
plans to ration other commodities.
Book 3, they pointed out, is a re-
placement book and contains a new
supply of stamps to take the place of
those now being used in Books /
and 2.
DR.. c. Hart Schaff, Richmond dis
trict rationing executive, said the
OPA Office here is making plans to
handle the huge job and that
formal call would go out in few
days calling for 1000 volunteers to
help the OPA in getting the books
to every Virginia family.
Under a plan worked out by Price
Administrator Prentiss Brown and
Postmaster General Walker, the
book will be sent to those persons
who mail postcard application
There will be no schoolhouse regis
tration, such as there was in the
issuance of the first two ration
books.
Application forms, good for a sin
gle person or an entire family, will
be dropped in every mail box or de-
livered personally by postmen be-
tween May 20 and June S.
