Men 38 To 45 Back In Draft Call Brackets

— Continued Fnom Pace One — now or who takes up farming by May 1 shall be reclassified promptly into .the farm deferraent classes. 2-C if single and 8-C if married, if he meets the other farm-deferment qualifications. Other men oyer 38 are to be put into the regular - draft classification “as soon as possible

after May 1".

The order did not make it dear whether it would be too late after May .1 for a man over 38 to S t a farm job and a farm derment. The apparently intended inference was that he should do it by May 1. which is roughly the beginning of the heaviest sept son <rf farm work. Four other new Selective Service regulations were issued, deaigned to keep agricultural workers on the farms. They provide: When a man is granted deferment for farm work, local boards have “no further discretion" and must keep him deferred. If this makes the local board unable to meet its quota for the armed aervices, 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 to meet production requirements must be referred to the county farm war board and 30 days must be allowed for his placement in another farm job before he can be drafted.. County farm boards may request the deferment of farm workers or appeal draft board rulings if the worker himself dtia employer does not act. The effect of the order is illustrated in a typical case: Mr. B., who is 40 and classifed 4-H, ia told that he will be reclassified under circumstances which hint of a possible military call. Mr. 6 is single and in non-^-aaaential work. He knows that he ia due to be reclasaified l-A(H). Then, i: drafting of 38-year-olds were resumed, he would be one of the first .to go. Hut if he gets a farm job by May 1, however Inexperienced he is, he is promiacd a classification of 2-C (H) which would make his drafting much mure unlikely. If he were married, his taking a farm job would make him 3-C (H).

They shall inherit the treasure for which we have -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 work, in courage, in money in life. we shall not bequeath democracy to our children.

Plans for Cape May's Victory Garden movement are rapidly being shaped for the coming season, under the direction of Peter Dellas. recently appointed chair-map of the local Victory Garden drive. Appointed several weeks ago by the city commission, Dellas immediately launched this community'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 family 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 obtainii^ 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 except in cases where use’ of the land is contemplated for other purposes oi 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 take possession, with without reason, on short notice. With some of the earliest crops scheduled for planting about April 1. preliminary arrangements are being speeded as n uck as possible to allow Victory Gardeners opportunity to prepare tile land they will use. L'rging all Cape May families to start Victory Gardens to supplement the normal supply of fresh vegetables and to ease the threat of a national food shortage, Mr. Dellas pointed out thgt such efforts, if properly applied, would pay big dividends for the amoilht of labor and expense inSince his appointment, the local Victory Garden Chairman has collected, a quantity of information for amateur gardeners, explaining in detail the methods of improving soil, the kind and amount of seeds and the estimated yield of. the most common varieties of vegetables in addition to detailed instruction.the planting, care and harvesting of vegetable crops. Amateur gardeners desiring advice or assistance in planning ■their Victory Gardens may apply to Mr. Dellas for help. Dellas stressed the fact that Victory Gardeners must supply their own materials, seeds, fertilizers, tools and other equipment. With 125 local Victory Gardens as his present goal. Chairman Dellas is attempting to locate suitable garden space for each applicant and is prepared to give all possible assistance to gardeners who wiH use their own prop-

erty.

In addition to the individual garden plan, Dellas is attempting to enlist the aid, of local, business men and others in Cape May who. instead of having their own Victory Gardens, wish to volunteer their services to help some nearby fariner in return for fresh vegetables and produce. Explaining the plan proposed several weeks ago by the Cape May County Board of Agriculture as a means of overcoming the farm labor shortage. Mr. Dellas

said:

Naturally there are some w:ho either do not have the facilities or the inclinatiofi to plant their own Victory Gardens. but who have enough spare time so they could band together and provide real assists no- to some nearby farmer in performing some of the ordinary unskilled jobs on the

farm.

“For example, if 10 local busi•ss men would volunteer to give three hours a week to a nearbyfarmer to assist in planting or picking berries or fruits or some other similar tasks it would amount to the equivalent of three full days' work by a regular farm hand. Certainly there would be many more available when the time arrives. “Such voluntary assistance would mean a lot to our farmers who are facing serious handicaps because of the labor shortage,” Mr. Dellas said.

Clean can well and soak off label

Tuck cut-off ends in can

Cut off belli ends and flatten firmly

Save in separate containers and give to an autborized 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 Unde Sam needs your old tin cans. Read the simple instructions below and cooperate with your Salvage Committee. Defense Coundl, and Municipal Authorities to help make the salvage of tin cans a big success ’in'your community. important Facts to Help You. All paint, oi£ varnish, floor ftolish, or cone-shaped cans are 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. Patriotic.—Keep this leaflet in your kitchen for hanvty reference.

Why “Prepared Cans” Are Needed 1. Washing prevents deterioration of tin coating—assures sanitary conditions—and prevents contamination of detinning fluid. 2. Removing top and bottom 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 afid increasing plant capacity for detinning. Start Saving Cans How—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.
