LOCAL BOARD RULE
ON FARM DRAFTEES

Local draft boards, in de-
termining the need for de-
ferring young Delaware far
mers, may call upon the
county agricultural agents
and the Delaware State En-
ployment Service FOR addi-
tional information, according
to Douglas w. Troll, state
director of Selective Service.
He emphasized, however,
that the decision on defer
ment is entirely up to the
local boards, with the other
agencies merely assisting in
obtaining facts.
Agricultural workers who
feel they are entitled to OBJ
tain a II-C classification, ex-
empting them for a year or
less, should file such infor-
nation with their local draft
boards, Mr.. Troll said. He re-
minded the farm workers
that they may appeal their
classifcatiOns within 10 days
of the date of mailing and,
until the appeal board has
reviewed the cases, they can
not be inducted.
