continually below zero. and most

10 days in transit camp, I was
assigned to Camp No. 3 and
given a bunk" in one of the
barracks. The barracks were
makeshift affairs, insulated with
ashes in the walls and patched
here and there with wood. My

a tWo-foot space on a long
wooden shelf that held 100 men.
We were packed together and
could only sleep pl6pped on one

enough room to lie ON my back.

picture of how the program operates Now.
why don't you try your skill on the sample
quiz that follows? To those students who will
take the test on Thursday, let me emphasize
that this is an abbreviated version of the exam
and different questions have been used. Also.
certain types of questions, such as those on
algebra, have been omitted because knowl-
edge of college courses in these fields would be
necessary to pass them.
But comparing your score with the table on
page 81 will give you general idea of how
you might do on the real test.

yaristick since college entrance requirements
and academic standards differ widely
That is why deferment exams are given at
strategically located colleges three times
year. The test on April 81 will be the fifteenth
to be given to nearly 100000 students since
the program began in the spring of 1851.
An AM-Axouma Quix
ZACH exam consists OF $50 five-choice ques-
tons. The minimum passing score is 20. The
questions are specially designed to test scho-
lastic aptitude in such way that they give no
advantage to students in any particular field
The questions give equal emphasis to your
knowledge of language and to your mathe-
NAUTICAL or cumulative reasoning ability.
A passing grade of 20 or better does not
automatically defer student. But the final
authority, the local draft board. rarely refuses
to defer passing student If they do he can
take his case to the State Appeal Board.

when he discovered the stills,
Hoyle stated Captured along with
the stills were buckets, quart of
liquor, a doubler and a mattock.
Barking dogs warned the still
operators Of his approach. the
constable said. as he found five
dogs lying around on the ground.
and evidence that fires had just
been lit under the stills and prep

YALTA VIEWS
Questioned on the recent release
of papers from the Yalta confer
ence of the Franklin Roosevelt. Jo-
seph Stain and Britain's Prime
Minister Sir Winston Churchill,
Mr.. Jonas said he did not feel the
release was premature and that he
does not think there will be any
adverse repercuSSions.
In general he stated that. as did
Woodrow Wilson. he favors "open
covenants. openly arrived at. "
rather than secret. parleyS that
might effect the lives of millions
of persons.
In his talk to the Greeks, he
praised the contribution of the
Greeks of the Western world. es-
pecially in arts, culture and phil

He complimented the local
Greek community and called its
members worthy American citi-
zenS."

And, I would like to say word
about the permanent type prac-
tlces that will help check erosion.
Where needed Alfalfa is a very
9ood cover crop. On the steep land
where it is hard to cultivate feS-
cue and ladino clover is best suit
ed. Sericea and kudzu will handle
the erosion problem best in the
more depleted soils. and give you
some good grazing in the dry times
too. Where the land is severely
eroded pines will do the best job
there.
Il feel sure if everybody would
care for his land in this way, and
according 10 It's capability. and to
each farmers capability, t h e
streams wouldn't be as muddy as
they were this week. Then the
farmers would have the topsoil to
make crops with. and it wouldn't
be sitting the ponds and reservoirs
full so soon.
So. when you are doing your fall
ploWing next year, keep in mind
the hard winter rains like we had
last week, and keep your terraces
plowed UP, and try to get as much
cover on the ground as possible. :"

Afterwards, We sat in the leg
