be increased from S1.00 per day to
S1.20 per day. Since there are no
provisions in the budget to permit
this increase, it had to be denied

boarding expenses at the college.

FOR
POULTRYMEN
Kent County Growers Asked

tension Service
PRODUCTION RECORDS

For several years poultry farm
ers in Delaware have been cooper
ating with the Agricultural Extern
sion Service in the poultry calen-
dar project by keeping records of
the egg production of their focks
and reporting the results each
month to their county extension
office. AS the poultry record year
begins on october 1, it soon will be
time to start with new record cal
endars, so those poultrymen in
Kent County, who would like to
enroll in this project for another
year are requested to contact
County Agent Russell E. Wilson
within the next few days, and one
of these calendars will be provided
free of charge upon request.
Production Records
These poultry calendars are con-
venient for keeping egg production
and flock mortality records, ex-
penses and receipts which are nee
essary for making out annual in
come tax reports, and show reasons
for profits and losses in the poul-
try business. On these calendars
there are also helpful suggestions
regarding poultry rations and flock
management, as we'll as seasonal
information concerning definite
management practices which have
been found to be successful in
other f1ocks throughout the state.
Statewide Summary
Poultrymen who cooperate with
the Agricultural Extension Service
by sending in their egg reports
each month will receive from the
county agent copy of the state
wide summary including their indi-
vidualrecords. This offers an OPP
portunity to compare individual
flock records with the average for
the state. AS new focks of pullets
begin production during the latter
part of September or the first of
October, this is the ideal time to
start these egg production records,
so for this reason October 1 has
been designated as the date for
starting this project each year, Mr..
Wilson stated.

also were damaged by the high
winds. Every community faced
the task of clearing away fallen
trees and branches and helping to
patch together electric and tele-
phone wires damaged by the fall
ing trees. One of the worst fears
of the area was food spoilage be-
cause of no power for refrigera-
ton. In many areas the power
was off for more than "a hours.

New Ruling Covers
Stotus of Aliens

An enemy alien who is German,
Hungarian, Rumanian, or Bulgarian
citizen or national may be indicted
into the armed forces of the United
States and assigned to- a war thea
tire in which he will not normally
be required to fight against fellow
nationals or blood relatives, under a
recent revision of selective service
and War Department policies. The
change in regulations may cause
some enemy aliens to withdraw
their objections to all military serv-
ice. Such cases will be reconsidered.
Because of the recognition of Italy
as cobe1ligerent, local selective
service boards have been directed
to reconsider the classification of
Italian registrants previously not
acceptable because they were en-
envy aliens. Neutral aliens may file
selective service form 30l and re-
quest relief from service in the
armed forces of the u. S. However,
if a neutral alien becomes cobel-
.igerent, the previously filed form
becomes ineffective.

Waste Paper.
Goes 10
War

Waste paper in a home waste
basket may not ordinarily be excit-
ing to anyone but mouse, but the
current desperate need Tor packing
of vital war materials has changed
all that. The present conflict has
made the new demand for waste
paper tremendous, 100000 tons a
month are being used by paper
mills, and their needs exceed ESQ.,
900 tons. Half of the paperboard
output goes into containers for the
armcr forces, insuring the arrival
I'M good condition of blood plasma,
food, ammunition, and thousand
other items. AT the same time pa
perboard containers keep packaged
foods moving into home kitchens
too.
Did you know that parachutes are
now being made Of paper, to drop
food and equipment from airplanes
to men in inaccessible places? 1t
has been found that, on crossing the
English Channel in an airplane,
moisture from the air getting into
clothing can add lbs to mans
weight; SO paper raincoats are now
in use. Paper is used for bomb
bands and shell cases.
Our paper shortage is not yet as
serious as England's, where the mis-
take of throwing away an empty
cigarette package is punishable by
fine of approximately Soc. 1t need
never become so if we use paper
carefully, and salvage used mate
rials.
Paper making is. really a cooking
process, SO do not include waxed
or greasy paper. 1t may spoil an
entire batch in the reprocessing at
the mills.
Paper collection is not a Flash
in the pan,' but long-term job
Bundle up your present supply Of
waste paper and old magazines, and
see that they reach their destina-
ton, the local collection center
during the present campaign. From
there they will reach the paper
mills, the war and the home fronts
Then see to it that saving waste
paper becomes part Of the regular
housekeeping routine in your home

Many Jobs
Go To War
Veterans

Jobs have been provided 1885,
new war veterans, l,207 others have
been referred to training and re-
Mobilization agencies, 203 to civil
service openings, out of a total OF
2,872 Montana persons released from
the armed services during the pres
ent war period, according to figures
received today by A. c. Hanson
manager of the Kalispell office OF
the United States Employment
Service from O. c. Lamport,s state
manpower director.
Contracting of the returning vet
Grams is a first line duty of the

explains, and personnel in the q
local offices as well as in the cen
trail administrative office in Hell
ena are trained to advise and assist
veterans in readjustment to civilian
status.

service channels to the local office
nearest his home, where he IS in
terviewed, assisted in finding work
restored to his old job, advised as
to veteran benefit rights, referred
to hospital or compensation autho-
rites, or whatever his circumstances
may warrant.
To assist in this work the Unit
ed. States Employment Service has
called upon men in other locali-
ties in Flathead and Lincolp -coun-
ties to serve as volunteer employ
ment representatives. The follow
ing men, all experienced in veteran
affairs, have been chosen to act in
this capacity:

: Mr.. Lamport points out, and is
representative of the treatment that
will be accorded every returning
veteran from the global conflict
The employment service is the
clearing house through which the
veteran may adjust himself to civil
life, assured OF all service benefits
to which he is entitled, and obligat-
ed only to do his just measure o1
work according to his skill and cap
abilities.
