Army Expecting
To Call 100000
Under Draft Law
Draft Board Will
Again Be Set Up
For Noble County

The army probably will cali be-
tween 100000 and 250,000 induc-
tees during the first IL months of
the new draft program, accord
ing to an official source in Wash
ington.
1t is expected that in the near
future, new draft board will be
named for Noble county as there
are several hundred young men
in this community, who will be
affected by the nations first
peacetime draft.
Several weeks ago, Judge L. B.
Frazier and Judge Otto Polling
forwarded a list of names of local
residents, who they recommended
as draft board members. Selec-
ton of the draft board will be
made at Columbus.
Army officials said today that
much of the draft induction rate
depends upon the volunteer en-
listment situation.
The draft bill passed by con-
gress Saturday night fixes the
total strength for the military es-
tablishment to zoos, 882. The
army would be expanded to 837,-
900 from its present $4,000
strength; the navy and marines to
666,882 from 469,0 (of which
the navy part is 10000: the air
force to 5O2, 200 from $4,000,
which will operate 70 groups of
planes.
No one can be drafted ur,il 80
days after the bill becomes eff
fective, which is as soon as Pres
ident Truman signs it.
All men 18 through IS as
needed to bring armed forces up
to the authorized strength must
register. The term Of service is
81 months. The draft act will ex-
pire two years after signed, un-
less ended sooner by congress.
According to the new. draft law,
18-year-olds can sign up for IL
months service and then join the
reserves. That clears them from
the draft later.
There will be no special regis
tration for doctors and dentists
as originally proposed. But those
rs or under must register.
Veterans who served Is months
from September Is, 1910, to date
act becomes law are exempt, also
those who served 80 days or more
during Shooting war; December
z. 1941 to September 2, 1945.
Those who are exempt include
ministers, national guardsmen,
organized reserve members, con-
scientioa1s objectors, most public
officials and scientists, agricultur-
al and industrial workers covered
by regulations the president can
make.
The president, through the Sc
lective service director, will de-
eide about deferring men with
dependents.
The army system has been
overhauled to let enlisted men
and warrant officers serve on
courts martial and many penalty
, reductions have been made fol-
various offenses.
Draftees 60 into inactive re-
serve for five years after dis
charge, unless they volunteer for
another year in service or joir
an organized reserve outfit fol-
three years.
The CT Bill of Rights would
not apply to these draftees and
they would get no mastering out
pay.

On February 27, 1948, the
Permian Oil and Gas Co., of
Marietta, under authority of
section 614-20, General Code
of Ohio, made formal appli-
cation TO the commission tor
consent and authority to modify
and increase the rates for natural
gas sold to consumers within the
villages Of Dexter City, Eiba and
Macksburg and outlying and in
termediate districts.
The schedule for the increase
in rates has been presented to
the councils of dexter City and
MackSpurg, Elba not oelng moor
porated, and the respective coun-
ellis refused TO consider or adopt
them.
The increase in rates applied
for are the same as the rates now
IN effect IN Caldwell, OIlVe, ,Dud-
ley and SouIn OllVe ana the out
lying alstrlcIS.
According to an investigation
by the engineers of the utilities
commission, Caldwell, Dudley
South Olive, Dexter City and out.
lying districts receive all thell
gas from single production sys'
NJ
a common transmission system
TO all the above towns ana VII
lages.
The rates applied for arc the
rates now Collected IN CalIWeII
etc, emDraC4ng approximately
seventy per cent of the total Gus
| toners of the The Fermian Oi
and Gas Co., leaving approx.
lmately thirty per cent Oh the
total customers IN Dexter City
EIpa, and Mackspurg territory
Should the rates requested In the
company's application be granted
1t would result IN uniform rate
schedule tor all the customers
connected to the company.
The accountants report shows
that after allowing six and a hall
percent rate of return on the val.
uation of the city gate property
and considering all other produc,
ton and transmission expenses
the city gate cost of gas is 52.030l
per thousand cubic feet.
1t also reveals that after con-
sidering the revenues expected
from the proposed rates, theacost
at the uniform city gate rate o1
52.030l cents and all applicable
distribution expenses, the gas
service in the towns of Dexter
City, Elba and Macksburg will
show a slight loss.
The present collected rates in
Dexter City, Elba and Macksburg
are as follows:
A gross rate for gas of As cents
per thousand cubic feet for the
first 100000 cubic feet and 40
cents per thousand for the next
100000 or part thereof and 35
cents per thousand for all over
100000 cubic feet, used in one
month with discount of five
cents per thousand cubic feet if
paid at the office of the company
on or before the 10th day.
The Permian Oil and Gas Co.,
desires to discontinue the above
and substitute the following:
Twenty cents per one hundred
cubic feet for the first 500 cubic
feet used through each meter
each month:
Six cents per one hundred cubic
feet for the next 1900 cubic feet
used through each meter each
month:
Five and one-half cents per one
hundred cubic feet for the next
5000 cubic feet used through each

Five cents per one hundred
cubic feet for all in excess of
5000 cubic feet used through
