Yet despite a real struggle to get

DRAFT PROBLEM

IF you want my views, I'll give
them to you, Mr.. President" spoke
up Ezra Nelson. 1.-TWO things have
to be done and done Immediately
First of all, some one in authority
here in Washington must tell local
draft boards where to head in.
.They must be told that they
have almost as much responsibility
to see to it that we have sufficient
manpower to produce food for the
war effort as they have to provide
men for the fighting forces
The President pointed out that
many young farmers don't want to
be deferred.
This isn't the fault of the draft
boards he said. THE young men
themselves are SO patriotic that
they do not want to remain on the
farm while a war is going on
It was agreed that steps would
have to be taken to convince Sc
lectees that they could serve their
country as we'll on the farm as in
the Army. Cess suggested that one
way OUT would be to induct
farmhands and then ''furlough'
them back to the farm at pre-
vailing farm wages instead of Army
pay.
STOP SELLING cows

Merry Go Round

did the listening. instead of the
talking, when he conferred on
farm manpower and food with
three prominent farm leaders-Al-
bert S. Goss, master of the Ma
tional Grange; H. E. Babcock, vice
president of the National Council
of Farmer Cooperatives, and Ezra
t. Nelson, its executive secretary.
The farm spokesman spent about
thirty minutes of the 37-minute
conference expounding their views
on what caused the food shortage
now facing the country and what
has to be done to remedy it. The
President confined his remarks
chiefly to asking questions.
He began by telling his visitors
that the food situation was "ex-
tremely serious"
That's why l invited you gentle
men here today--to get your opin-
ions on what has to be DONE the
President said. Go ahead and be
as frank as you like

Call For Rooms Issued
By USO-Trauelers Aid

An increased need for rooms
with Kitchen facilities for mill
tary couples with young babies
was pointed out Saturday by Miss
1ngeborg Rudd of the USO-Travel-
ers Aid. Many of the men whose
wives and babies are coming to
the city have never seen their
babies before and many have not
seen them for several months.
Some of these men have just
returned from long bivouacs,
maneuvers and some from over
seas duty, Miss Rudd said, and
it is important that rooms be found
for these couples.
Wilmingtonians having spare
rooms or some space in their
homes are asked to cooperate with
the USO-Travelers Aid in providing
facilities for these people, and per-
sons having room are asked to
telephone USO staff workers at
the clubhouse, Second and Orange
streets, No. 2-2617, or the USO-
Travellers Aid office, 412 North
Front street, No. 22221.
