OVER THE
PL.OW ~

When your man has quit, you
are no longer interested in him.
Very true. but let's look at it from
this angle:
MUST
Suppose. when he has quit your
Job. he just loafs until his money
is gone. Someone reports to Selec-
tive Service, after a few weeks,
that this man turned down an offer
CT another job. Selectiye Service
checks up on him and finds that
they deferred him to work for you.
They have no choice but TO induct
him, according to their directives,
and man is lost to agriculture.
If you had fulfilled your agree
ment, they could have given him a
reasonable time 10 get other agri-
cultural work.
Not only that. but if enough of
these cases occur, the policy-making
officials of Selectiye Service are CO.
ing to conclude that the system in
use is not keeping workers on the
farm and they will crack down.
Then The going will really get
tough.
SHOULD FILE
To keep things running as well
as the are, you should file an
affidavit whenever you employ
man for farm work who is subject
to induction and let his Selective
Service Board know when his en-
ployment stops.
Why does this concern the coun-
ty USDA war board?
Because manv of these defer
ment cases are referred to us by
Selective Service for investigation
as to whether the regiStrant is in
essential agricultural work Every
week we consider a number of them.
We are charged with following
up the cases on which we recon-
mend deferment and reporting on
them. The follow-up Investigations
cost money and you, as tax payers,
pa- the bill.
You can simplify our work and
save yourself money by watching
this and doing your part.

Locally Needed Men
0nNon-De
Urged 10 Change Jobs
VINO Suggests Workers
Find Posts Which Will
Alter Their Draft Stutus

Men on the non-deferrahle list
who also happen to be In the seven
District industries considered DO
cally needed" were urged late yes
terday to stay In those industries,
simply taking other jobs.
The proposal came from the
Washington area War Manpower
Commission which earlier listed the
locally needed" activities but made
it clear that the list did not carry
with 1t eligibility for occupational
deferment under the draft and did
not conflict with the status Of occu-
pations defined as non -deferrable.
Men on the national non-defer-
rable list must tind essential work
before May or face immediate
draft induction, regardless Of de.
pendents.
Included among the seven locally
needed" activities are hotels. res
taurants, cafeterias and other eat
ing units, apartment and ONCE
building operation and maintenance,
laundries, dry cleaners and linen
supply.
Nearly dozen jobs classified MS
non-deferrable nationally are in the
seven industries classified here as
locally needed" 1t was suggested
to the District War Manpower Com
mission that this created a situa-
ton where special hiring arrange
ments were being made to attract
people to these industries while
nationally the men were being
pushed out of the same industries.
A VINO spokesman proposed that
the men find other jobs in the came
activities which would take them
out of the non-deferrable class.
He also said that list of "criti-
cal occupations" in these industries
would be recommended, similar to
the national list accompanying It's
essential activities. While the con-
templated local list Of critical oc-
cupations" Is regarded as "a wedge
for employers to ask for and get
cooperation from draft boards"
the VINO spokesman said his office
could strongly recommend defer
ment in the case of men in critical
occupations.
He suggested that in some cases
this list will decide whether or not
an employer can stay in business
AS an example, he cited an estab-
lishment which would have to shut
down If it lost half a dozen essen
tial men.
The critical occupations" as well
as the special privileges attached to
being among the seven locally
needed" activities will be forthcom-
ing when the employment stabiliza-
ton program for this area is an
nounced. 1t was stated yesterday,
however, that the group Of locally
needed" activities will be given the
same status as the essential activi-
ties announced nationally, except
that inclusion on the list does not
carry with it eligibility for. occupa-
tional deferment.
Establishments eligible for con-
sideration as locally needed" must
have agreed to make maximum utili-
zation Of their manpower, as evil
denced by adoption OF a minimum OF
43 hours a week, and to suspend al.
special luxury services Of the type
not commonly utilized by. war
