War Production Training Set In State Farm Areas SALEM, Ore., Sept. lfi. (Spe cial.) Rural war production training to aid the individual farmers to make and carry out the plans for reaching the farm commodity goals designated by the secretary of agriculture will be conducted In' over 200 rural high school communities this coming winter O. I. Paulson, state director of rural war production training, announced today.

Any out-of-sehool person who has reached the age of 17 years may enroll In any of the 14 short unit courses approved by the sec retary of agriculture and the U. S. office of education. Since many farm women and girls are being required to do mechanical work bn the farm and assist In manag ing the farm business, this train ing should better qualify them to serve agriculture, points out Mr. Paulson. Besides conducting courses to help increase the production of milk, poultry, eggs, pork, beet, vegetables, lamb and wool, there will be four special mechanics' courses and one course.

Physical Defects Swept Aside To Boost U.S. Army Bv JOHN GROVER WASHINGTON There's an amusing story about the army fin ally getting around to rescinding the rule 75 years late requir ing a recruit to have strong, op posed Incisor teeth. A check of the army's musty records disclosed that the rule did have , some meaning once, 'way back ,when the infantrymen were equipped with muzzle-loading rifles and paper powder curt ridges. They needed their snap pers then to bite off the tops of the paper cartridges for quick re loading, and loss of Ihe teeth was ample reason for rejection of the rookie. Now Only for Chow. However, all actual need for cartridge-biting incisors passed when the breech-loading rifle was adopted, but the regulation remained on the books until this year, when It was decided that a rookie didn't need any teeth, pro vided he had synthetic choppers able to masticate his chow prop erly. What makes the cartridge-bit-Ing tooth rule's long retention even more Incredible Is the fact that an official army publication In 1875 pointed out that "ad vances in military science," such as the breech-loader, permitted service of recruits barred before that time, and specifically men tioned the outmoded need for cartridge-gnawing. Incidentally, the army has found that a rookie needn't be Adonis to make a fine soldier. In the past they've insisted on near perfection in wind and limb, and there was huffing and puffing among the old diehards when the physical rules were relaxed for experimental training of under par rookies. The experiment succeeded. They found that one-eyed men men with fingers missing and other minor defects made crack ing good soldiers. Oddly, it was found the physically handicapped had higher intelligence ratings than their physically sound bud dies. Barriers Lowered. So, this presages wholesale acceptances of men who would have been thought physically un equal to military service two years ago. When they get around to dialling married men and men with children, It's probable that the slightly spavined middle-aged crocks will go right in the ranks, y Here's n partial list of defects that won't keep you out of army uniform any more: one blind eye, If the other can be corrected to 20 40 vision with glasses; deaf ness In one ear, if the other's hearing is 10-20; no teeth, if no disease of jaw present and den tures permit food mastication; less than three Inches spinal cur vature; missing great toe, ham mer toes or webbed toes; mode rate deformities of the upper extremities, lower extremities, clavicle, ribs or scapula, provided the Individual followed u useful vocation In civil life; goitre, hernia, nutritional defects or any other condition repairable by simple surgery or treatment. Just a reasonably complete as sortment of arms and legs In fair working order is all the army asks now. They'll find a use for you.
