District athers to
Face Army Induction
Screening Physical Exams
Expected to Start in
Short Time.

Fathers in the local draft
district face induction into the
armed forces after Oct. l, but
until instructions are received
from the state director Of
selective service draft board
officials said they would not
know when processing of these
registrants would begin.
1t is contemplated, however, that
pre-Peari Harbor fathers viii be
ordered to appear for screening
physical examinations within a short
time.
As the registrants are screened"
they are classified as TO their avail
ability for service by the local selective
service board.
The extent to which fathers VIII De
drafted in the local district cannot be
determined until copies OF the order
issued to the state directors OF seIec-
tive service are received here, but
daily newspapers report that such
registrants are to be indicted only as
absolutely necessary" to fill monthly
quotas.
The local draft district can draw
from three groups other than induct-
ing pre-Pearl Harbor fathers. They
are: Cd Youths who become OF mill
tary age upon their 18th birthdays,
Cd married registrents who were not
fathers prior to Sept. Il. 1912, CD reg
istrants who now have industrial
deferments when such deferments ex-
pire
Additional selectees VIII become
available if the present physical stand
ards for military service are lowered
Only fathers regularly engaged IN
agricultural work win continue virtual
fy draft-proof for occupational rea-
sons. Only a small number are in
volved in the local district, and they
reside in the Embarrass territory.
The calling Of fathers VIII be in the
order of their draft order numbers re-
CARELESS OF the number Of children,
the AP reported. They may be grant
ed deferment, however, they are
deemed essential in Cd agriculture,
Cd industry, or if Cd their induction
would mean extreme hardship ana
privation" to their families. Men over
80 will remain exempt from military
service
The decision in each mans case Is
up to the local draft board, subject 70
filing a notice OF appeal with 10 days
after notice of classification has been
sent out.
1t appears certain that the present
dependency aHotments viii be in
creased.
The amount Of the increase VIII de-
pend upon congressional action when
the congress reconvenes Sept. IA
Currently wives receive $50 monthly,
SO being taken from the husbands
pay and s28 being contributed by the
government. The government also
gives s12 monthly for the first child
and $40 each monthly for each ad-
ditional child. A bill passed by the
senate and pending before the house
increased the allowance for the first
child to s18 and for each additional
child To s11 monthly

success of Wendell Wilkee's One
World" as q. best seller with million
and a half copies, makes the claim
that the Bible is the best seller OF this
and all other books. The world dis
tribution OF the Good Book" has
jumped from five million in 1910 TO
more than eight million in 1912. The
American Bible Society makes this re-
port and states that it publishes in
1853 different languages, and the
great majority Of the books were sold
and not given away. The demand by
the armed forces has been heavy, but
sales to civilians are unprecedented.
If the demand continues, the paper
shortage and other difficulties of pub
fishing may bring on informal ra-

Leslie Beatty, county Land commits
sioner, has made a recommendation to
the county board Of commissioners for
flat tax rate for timber producing
land to encourage perpetual growth OF
timber In our estimation, Les has got
something there and his recommended
ton has been turned over to Fred
Bessette. executive secretary OF the
Timber Producers Association, for
study in connection with the county
board. Beatty recommends amend
ment of the state auxiliary forest law,
enacted in 1927, so that a flat rate Of
10 cents per acre per year will be
levied on timber lands, regardless OF
timber values existing, and that a
yield tax be assessed against all tim
Der cut. He contends that the act was
sponsored by "far-sighted conserva-
tionists and economic minded public
officers who foresaw the rapid deple-
ton Of timber resources, which Situa-
ton would cause the collapse of a
number of plants employing hundreds
of men and close a well established
outlet for farm and factory products"

VICTORY CAN BOOKLET

THE home preservation of food Il is more essential this year than any time in our history. In fact it might prove to be necessary if we are to have enough food to main- tain the health of our families throughout the winter months. Every woman can make vital contribution to the war effort by canning all the fruits and vegetables possible, especially those of high nutrition value.
 To aid our army of home man. agers, especially the younger women not thoroughly familiar with home food preservation methods, the University of Connecticut Extension Service, in cooperation with the U. s. Department of Agriculture, has issued special booklet entitled "HOME PRESERVATION OF FRUITS AND VECETABLES", prepared by Marion Evans Dakin.
 This booklet, referred to as bulletin No. 343, can be obtained without charge from local War Garden and Food Preservation Com mittees and County Farm Bureau Agents. A limited number is avail able also at our offices.
 Every home manager that is in need of authentic information on this subject should endeavor to ob- tain copy of this valuable booklet.

the struggle with conscience.
Some are compromising. After

don't they have 10 know II they are
worth planting? And wouldn't II be
a waste 10 cook just one 10 find

potatoes goes al least one meal.
Then there are those who sign
the agreement IN good faith but
whose backs become very weary at
the prospect OF spsding. They find
they have 10 eat the potatoes TO
keep them from wasting.
Another subterfuge is for those
who buy a big bag OF seed just to
