members of the industrial COM
mittee of the Jeffersons Rotary
club, who were presented by l..
P. Coward, gave an interesting
picture of the present income and
future possibilities of the county
at the meeting last week.
They stated that the county
now had an annual income of
one and ope-half million from
dairy and beef cattle and indus
try and that with a little effort

work. He urged that members

end. IF it takes a building, let's
build a building" he said.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-tR-Na-
tional Selective Service today or
dered an end to the 'imited serv-
ice" classification for draft regis
trants, and took action to halt the
re induction of veterans who have
been honorably discharged + r m
military service.
1n~sti1 another, change in regu-
lstions, draft headquarters ruled
that men of 80 and over henceforth
will be placed in class All, in
stead of 1-A-H. Although this
change is mainly Formally to
simplify draft rules, it takes some
work or fight pressure off men
of that age by removing them
from classification technically
subject to call.
Registrars in the'4A group pre-
viously have been As and older.
Placement of men 80 and up in
this category means they can not
be called for service without a
blanket change in draft procedure
for the entire 38-45 age group.
