Men 38 To 45 Back In Draft Gall Brackets 1 — Continued From Page One — | now or who tekes up farming by May 1 shall be reclassified ! promptly into the farjn deferment classes, 2-C if single and ! 3-C if married, if he meets the , other farm-deferment qualifica- .. tions. Other men over 38 are to be put into the regular draft f classification ‘‘as soon as possible

after May 1”.

The order did .not make it clear I whether it would be too late after May 1' for a man over 38 to get a farm job and a farm de- ' ferment. The apparently intended inference was that he should do it by May 1, which is roughly the beginning of the heaviest season of farm work. Four other new Selective Service regulations were issued, de- ■ signed to keep agricultural workers on the If arms. They provide: [ When a man is granted defer- ' ment for farm work, local boards have “no further discretion” and p must keep him deferred. If this makes the local board unable to >• meet its quota for the armed services, the military call “should be left unfilled.” ’ , Any man with farming experience now in other work is to get farmer deferment if he returns to farming before he is notified to appear for induction. A farm worker in danger of losing his deferment through failure. %o meet production requirements must be relerred to the county farm war board and* 30 days must be allowed for his L%dacement in another farm job before he can be drafted, j ' County farm boards may request the deferment ‘ of farm workers or appeal draft board rulings if the worker himself or IT his employer does not act. The effect of the order is illustrated in a typical case: Mr. B., who is 40 and classifed ■4-H, Hs told that he will be reclassified^- under circumstances which hint of. a' possible military call. Mr. B is single and in nonessential work. He knows that he is due to be reclassified 1-A (H). Then, if drafting of'38-year-olds were resumed, he would be one of the first .to go. - But if he gets a farm job by May 1, however* Inexperienced he is, he is promised a classification of 2-C (H) which would make his drafting much more unlikely. If he were married, his taking a farm job would make him 3-C (H).

Victory Garden Movement Is Being Stressed In Cape May

March 21 War Fund Hay In Township COLD SPRING—Sunday, March 21, will be Red Cross War Fund Day in the churches and Sunday Schools in Lower Township. Urging township residents to contribute to the war fund, John L. Munday, local campaign chairman,' this week declared: “Democracy is worth fighting for, although we mav--never see it perfected. However, by the grace of God and our own de tion and strength, our child: will see it. They shall inherit the treasure for which we I fought and died, if We have faith, if we realize that nothing. is too much to sacrifice for this inheritance. ' “Work is not too much: all the money we can pour into war bonds and stamps is not too much, for if we hold back in work, in courage, in money or in life we shall not bequeath democracy to our children. Wi -shall bequeath them only bitte: knowledge that when we wen tested we gave too little too late and that they have inherited from us only slavery and fear. . “Give double to the Red Cross "frnd buy. U. S. war bonds and .Stamps,” Chairman Munday urged.

.Plans for Cape May’s Victory Garden movement are rapidly be- 1 ing shaped for the coming season, under the direction of Peter Dellas, recently appointed chairman of the local Victory Garden drive. Appointed several weeks ago by the city commission, Dellas immediately launched this communify’s offensive against food shortages by receiving applications from 20 prospective Victory Gardeners for permission to use vacant lands owned by the -city or by some individual. Besides these, many local residents who own or rent property which has sufficient space for a fatally garden are planning^to.start vegetable plots to augment their food

supply.

Working closely with County Agricultural Agent Henry H. White and the U. ,S. Department of Agriculture’s Victory Garden division, Dellas is organizing the movement locally to avoid .as much as possible waste of seeds, fertilizer and labor caused by inexperience and unfamiliarity with

local growing conditions.

Still in its preliminary stages, the Victory Garden movement to date has consisted of obtaining permission from the city or individual owners of Vacant lands to allow applicants to plant small

gardens.

The city commission recently announced a policy of granting such permission eVccept in cases where use of the land is contemplated for other purposes or where gardening would be objectionable to neighbors or the community at large. In all cases, use of land is given without charge on the provision that the owner may tata* possession, with or without reason, on short notice. With some of the earliest crops scheduled for planting about April 1. preliminary arrangements are being speeded as n uch as possible to allow Victory Gardeners opportunity to prepare the land they will use. Urging all Cape May families to start Victory Gardens to supplement the norma! supply of fresh vegetables ami to ease the threat of a national food shortage. Mr. Dellas pointed out lhat such efforts, if properly a plied, would pay big dividends f o the ■f labor and expense in-

volved.

How to “PREPARE” Tin Cans for War Duty

Clean can well and soak off label

Tuck cut-off ends in can

Cut off both ends and flatten firmly

Save in separate containers and give to an authorized collector

UNCLE SAM NEEDS YOUR TIN! Follow these Official Instructions by the War Production Board!

Nearly ninety percent of America’s tin formerly came from Malaya. And tin is vital to the war effort — for airplane parts, machine gun mounts, gas masks, countless other military uses! That’s why Uncle Sam needs your old tin cans. Read the simple instructions below and cooperate with your Salvage Committee. Defense Council, and Municipal Authorities to help make the salvage of tin cans a big success

!n your community.

important Facts to Help You.

All paint, oil, varnish, floor polish, or cone-shaped cans arc not wanted for salvage. Evaporated- or condensed-milk cans are not worth saving. Put these with your trash. Coffee cans and others with painted-on-can labels are wanted. It is not necessary to wash off the small amount of glue which holds labels. Bs Patriotic.—Keep this leaflet in your kitchen for handy reference.

Why “Prepared Cans" Are Heeded 1. Washing prevents deterioration of tin coating—assures sanitary conditions—and prevents contamination of de-

tinning fluid.

2. Removing top and bpttom permits the free flow of detinning fluid over all surfaces of the can. 3. Firmly flattened cans occupy less space in collection, shipment, and detinning operations — thereby decreasing handling costs and increasing plant capacity for

detinning.

Start Saving Cans Now.—Properly ■‘prepared cans” are clean and fit solidly into a basket or other container. They can be stored in the home conveniently for an indefinite period until collection methods are arranged. Collection Day.—The designated collection day for your neighborhood will be announced and publicized intensively through your local salvage committee. Watch for newspaper and radio announcements.
