A Selective Service survey showed
today that domestic help topped
the list OF draft registrants rejected
for military duty after physical ex-
aminations.
The study, just completed, also
reveals overall rejection rates lowest
In the Pacific Northwest and Kan
sas, while North and South Caro-
lima and Arkansas led the States in
the percentage Of men disqualified.
Although the State by State
figures are based on rejections from
February through August, 1913, the
report as whole is 20 per cent
sampling Of reports on more than
{, 600 900 registrants examined from
April 1912 to Janary 1914.
It discloses that during that period
sos per cent Of such workers as
household cooks, chaufIeurs and
Wallets were found to be physically
disqualified for the armed services.
Reflections were next highest
among emergency" or part-time
workers and the unemployed, where
56.5 per cent were turned down, and
among farmers and farm managers,
where 56.4 per cent were disqualified.
The survey, the first comprehen-
sive report covering registrants
called up since Pearl Harbor, offers
no explanation of the relatively high
rejection rate among these workers.
At the other end of the range are
students, with only 25.7 per cent Of
their number turned down, appar-
emily becauSe nearly all are in the
lower age brackets.
The report covers men of all age
groups summoned for physicals,
ranging up to registrants IS for the
early part Of the 21 months sur
veyed. The total of registrants ex-
amined is not broken down as to
age.
Rejecting heavy total Of rejec-
tions among Negroes, North Caro-
lina's overall rate for the February
August, 1s43, period was 56.8 per
cent of all examined, while Arkansas
and South Carolina each had q
turn down rate of $50 per cent.
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Vir-
ginia were all above so per cent.
Oregon had the lowest rejection
rate in the country-24.4 per cent.
Ranking next were Kansas, 25.4 per
cent; Utah, 26.1; Washington, 282,
and Idaho, 1913.
Study in Two Parts.
The study OF reasons for disquali-
|flcations is broken into two parts
one covering the period from April,
l942, through March, 1943, the other
the nine subsequent months. This
division was made to reflect a re-
vision Of physical standards, as well
as the start of induction of Is and
10 year olds early in 1913.

| Small Minority Gives
| Hackers Bad Name,
|DYar Tells Flanagan

Only small minority of taxicak
drivers here are responsible for mosi
of the complaints against hackers
violation Of the pickup" system
and abusive attitude toward pas
sengers. Rosllan w. Dyar, acting
secretary OF the American Cab As
sociation, said today in letter te
Chairman James H. Flanagan of the
Public Utilities Commission.
A few private detectives coulo
eliminate conspicuous violators who
make bad reputation for the rest
of the taxicab drivers, Mr.. Dyar
said.
In his letter, Mr.. Dyar said there
were several factors in present tax
icab regulations which could be cor
rected and reduce complaints con-
siderably.
At present, he said, many pas
sengers don't see Cali or "Ofi
Duty" signs. I'VE do not, however
sanction the use of those signs for
the purpose of controlling trips" he
said, but recommend the use Of q
sign giving the address or direction
of a driver on the way home or to
lunch so that opportunity to carry
passengers going in that direction
might give more people rides
Another criticism concerned rates
Declaring that the rates penalize
drivers for their cooperation, Mr.
Dyar said If drivers were protected
to a full single rate for the maxi
mum gone, rides could be increased
at least 25 per cent without loss OF
mileage.
Another suggestion made called
for simplified direction signs OF
North" Northwest" and other
sections OF the city. This would
facilitate pick-ups and make en-
forcement easier, it was said.

Rank Transfers Accounts

Bank Transfers Accounts
Due to economic conditions, the
officers and directors of the Koote-
mai Valley State Bank, Troy, Mon
tana, regretfully announce that they
will no longer be able to render
banking services at Troy, Montana.
The First State Bank of Libby,
Mont ma, has agreed to assume all
deposit liabilities of the Troy Bank,
and unless we are notified to the
contrary, your balance will be
transferred to the Libby Bank on
June Is, 1945. Your deposit will, of
course, be insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and
will in addition have the backing
of one of the strong banks of Mon
tana.
Mr.. v. S. Angel is making ar
rangements to open a check cashing
station in the old Kootenai Valley
Bank building and he will be pre-
pared to do a general insurance
business and will continue to rent
safety deposit boxes, draw up legal
papers and render other kindred
services to the public.
We are proud of the fact that
during it's 80 years of existence, the
Kootenai Valley has never asked
any depostor to take any loss or
hypothecate his deposit in any man
ner.
No doubt, with the return of nor
NAL conditions, Troy will again
have local bank, but until such
time as that happens, we hope that
you will realize that we are max
ing the best arrangements possible
under the prevailing conditions.

Sugar Sowing Reminders

Since the new sugar cupon-Stamp
80, Book 4-will have to last q
months instead of 3, careful spend
ing of the 5-pound-per-person ration
will be necessary to stave off scrap
ing the bottom of the family sugar
bowl before September first.
Home Economists of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture offer the
following sugar-saving reminders.
!. In summer especially serve
fresh fruits literally in place of
heavy desserts that call for sugar.
A fruit salad topped by a dressing
mixed with fruit juice does double
duty as a refreshing salad and des-
Sert.
2. Save strip from canned fruit
to sweeten other fruit, sauces, or
beverages.
3. Be sure all sugar is complete
ly dissolved, to get full sweetness.
"A sugar sirup goes farther than
plain sugar in sweetening iced tea
or fruit punch. To prepare sugar
sirup, heat equal parts sugar and
water until sugar is completely dis
solved. Keep leftover strip tightly
covered in the refrigerator. Corn
isrup may also be used to sweeten
summer drinks. Try some iced bev-
erages without sugar.
A. Cook cereals with prunes, raj
sins, or oats, and serve without sug-
ar.
5. Use fewer or no frostings on
cakes. Don't frost the sides.
8. Serve sweet yeast breads, such
as cinnamon rolls, and sweet quick
breads occasionally, instead of more
sugar-consuming cakes and pies.
z. Make desserts that use honey,
molasses, sorghum, corn, or other
sirups when these are available.
8. Stretch sugar in baked goods
with honey, molasses, corn or other
snups. Honey may replace sugar
cup, but use half the quantity of
other liquid called for in original
recipe-and keep baking tempera-
ture moderate. Corn, cane or maple
sirups car replace sugar measure
for measure. Reduce liquid by one
third.

alt Is VituI
To Spring Diet

Because this is the season for
homegrown spring vegetables, nu-
tritlonists are calling attention to the
fact that liberal serving of salt
makes winter-jaded appetites eager
for garden flavors. Salt it is pointed
out, not only develops the fresh del
icate vegetable flavors, but fortifies
the body for hot weather that lies a
head.
NO shortage of salt exists in the
United States. Grocers therefore are
pointing out the many ways in
which these foods can be preserved
without sugar by bringing or dry
sailing. Sauer Kraut and pickles are
easily prepared by following simple
recipes.
Green salads featuring lettuce,
tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions,
young carrots or turnips all depend,
for utmost flavor, upon cool, mex
pensive salt.
