Men Under rs
To Be Reviewed
By Local Boards

Local boards throughout the state
have been authorized to review the
cases of men under 26, previously
found disqualified for military SER
vice or qualified for limited service
only due to physical defects, it was
announced by Col. L. w. Long, state
director of selective service.
Pointing to the urgent need of
the armed forces for young men,
preferably below 80 years of age,
the directive from national head
quarters of selective service stated
the army has announced it can eff
fectively use some of the registrants
under 26, although they may have
minor physical defects. In some
cases, a change in the registrants
physical condition since being ex-
amined may make him acceptable
far service
Many of the men falling into this
category may be used in head
quarters assignments, service units,
and other military duties, Col. Long
stated.
The local boards have been au-
thorized to review the cases of
Iregistrants in the age group 18
through Is, who have heretofore
not met the physical standards OF
the armed forces. All those whom
the boards have reason to believe
may qualify for military service
will be forwarded for preinduction
physical examinations.
The present classifications of such
men will not be changed, however
until they have had the preinduc-
ton physical. If they are found
qualified following the exanina-
tons, there cases will be reopeneo
and reconsidered.

THIS N THAT

The past week, was full one and
we were kept on the go throuout
Perhaps the most outstanding event
of the week, or rather the one that
held the attention of the public
most was the closing of the Popu-
iarity contest, in which popular
young ladies of the city, represent
ed popular businesses of the city.
The conest being sponsored by Mrs.
Carrie Shepherd and Mrs. Lizzie M.
Jones for the c. A. C. Circle of
Parish street Baptist church.
3
Both sponsors are to be congratu-
lated, but being a bit on the inside
and seeing the great effort that was
put forth by Mrs. Shepherd to
make the contest a success-see-
ing the work and time she put into
making the program ntertaining,
and in as much as this was not even
her church, we think that she de-
serves extra special congratulations
and we of this column congratulate
and commend her for being the
leading promoter of a program that
brought to the GAG. Circle total
sum of $682.
<
OF course, as we sat there we
heard lot of whispering about, this
and that, but to all of this we say,
as did Mr.. w. H. Williams in his
eloquent and inspiring address, Its
very, very fine thing to see bus
mess and the church come together
ON program whereby Negroes in
general are benefited" To those
persons who didn't do anything TO
support this program and who sell
dom do anything to support anv
worthwhile program, we have only
this to say: If as members of the
church there were certain types
of businesses represented ON this
proram that you thought were not
appropriate, why didn't YOU speak
up In the beginning of the contest.
or better still, why didn't you re-
fuse these folks money and replace
1T by going down into your own
pockets and paying tiff these bust
nesseS' money was good enough to
accept, their representation on the
program should have been accepted
without a murmur-our pet hate is
a hypocrite.
| For those who are interested, the
money was raised as follows: Dotty
Cab, Mrs. Eddie M. Garnet, $5100;
Grey's Barber Shop, Miss Velma
Grey, $1,000: Advance Cleaners

In July, 1912, Miss Cox, native
of Atlanta City, N. s., left her job
as a recreation worker in civilian

now in the Pacific, was in training
These men were followed by the

experienced in dramatic work, still
gets letters from a magician" now

an din answer to other whisperings
that we have heard, anybody who
believes that large sum of money

of this contest can be raised by sell
ing 10 cent votes is greatly mis-
taken, it just isn't done, with few
exceptions, we bet every contest

ed other than what came in from
the sales of votes-so why criticize
the persons who donated just a
little bit more than we did?
