In addition to the above we
found il necessary to give the

nue. TO Van Dyke Avenue, a
surface treatment to prevent
further breakup OF the asphalt
surface. This surface had de-
Perforated to such an extent that
patching costs were becoming
prohibitive. The surface treat
ment consisted of an application
of one-third gallon per square
yard of tar and covered with
twenty-five pounds per square
yard of stone chips, and was
completed under contract.
In bridge construction. we
have widened several culverts
in the north end of the county.
Widening the culvert on Har-
rington Road west of the Grand
Trunk Railroad eliminated a
serious traffic hazard. Also il
was necessary to make extern
sive repairs to the large bridge
crossing the Clinton River on
Ryan Road north Of Hamlin
Road. This also necessitated the
relocation Of Clinton River. We
are now preparing plans for a
timber bridge over the Clinton
River on the Armada Center
Road. Any further bridge re-
placements will of necessity be

report October 1, 1941, $751;

we have called $28, 100000 in

In regard to state and county
Covert road assessments. this is
the fifth consecutive year that
the entire assessment district
portion tax has been offset by

manager of the Delno migratory

to administrative assistant to the
director Of FSA' succeeding Mrs.
Constance F. H. Daniel who re-
signed last July.
Said Mr.. Reid in his report:
"An effort was made during the
year to improve the status of Nc
gro employees. In the Washington
Offices the number of Negro en-
ployees increased by 1909. In addi-
ton. some Negroes have been en-
ployed in or promoted to key posi-
tons within the Department.
"The Office of Personnel inform
ed Negro colleges and universities
CT the types and kind Of positions
available in the Department. Visits
were made to several of these in
stitutions, and suggestions for re-
visions of courses were given upon
request. Information was given as
to preparation for career work in
the Federal civil service.
"a representative was sent to
number of national and State
Negro meetings at which agricul-
Itural, business, educational, and
civic affairs were discussed. The
work of the Department, with
special emphasis upon its services
to Negro agricultural producers
and consumers, was stressed at
these meetings"
A recent report from coopera-
tive Extension Service shows that
the Negro staff makes up Ia per-
cent Of the Extension personnel in
the South. Twenty colored farm

Delinquent Draftees
Warned

Attorney General Francis Bid
die today said that all men betwe-
en- the ages of IL and 45 who are
subject to classification under the
Selective Service Act will be requir
ed to carry classification as well
as registration card at all times
after February 1st. Failure to do
so may result in prosecution in
the Federal courts.
He added that the responsibility
of securing a classification card
rests with the individual registr-
ant. II for any reason he has not
received a classification card, or
has lost the one sent him, he
should immediately convey this in
formation to his local draft board,
A great many men are delin-
quent with their local draft boards
today, the Attorney General said.
This may be due to negligence, as
through some such oversight as
failure to notify their boards of
changes in address, or to deliher-
nte intention to evade the purpose
Of the Selective Service Act.
By widespread publication of the
new requirement ii is hoped that
all those who don't have their class
ification cards but who should
have them, will take the necessary
steps to protect themselves before
the February / deadline. The law
provides severe penalties for wilful
violation Of tn Act. Convictions al
ready have been secured in the
Federal courts against approx
mately $500 such violators and
prison sentences up to five years
have been imposed in some cases.

We are not alone in this belief,
either. The Electrical World, an

Of the electric industry, whose odi-
tors are clear thinking and sound
minded men, sees just like We do

aluminium case now being consi-
dered.
The Arkansas commission, in pc
titioning to interview, pointed out
that It had approved the rate after
study and indicated all the things
it had considered before giving its
approval, even to the competitive
aspects involved in the coop Ark
La service. FPC has permitted the
Arkansas commission to intervene
but does not recognized it as one
that might be aggrived by any or
der issued in the proceedings.
an the Arkansas contract not
only was there affirmatory action
by the state commission but there
was arms length bargaining with
every interested Washington agen-
cy, and all with abundant puhlici-
ty. If ever a rate was scrutinlzed
forward ond backward and inside
out. it was this one.
"The whole proceeding is so diff
ferent from that in other renogo-
tiation cases that one wonders if
perhap the government may not be
motivated by something more than
arriving at a proper rate. When,
the government renogotiates a con-
tract with an unregulated manfac-
trlrcr are there any such field days
as have been taking place at Little
Rock?
State commission in most instan-
ces are sustained by lives against
the utilities. If the Federal Power
Commission is going to have full
charge, state commission should
have the courage to pass on out or
the picture so the charges they are
now getting can be storped, and
these saving passed on to the rate
payer.
Does the failure Of state commits
sion to take a hand in this hearing
mean that they are not aware OF
this move by Washington bureau
cracv to take over tteir duties. we
wonder. Or does it mean thGt they
are afraid to oppose this encroch-
ing Federalism
