Hershey said, i '-. Consequently, he said, there must be "a more careful consider ation of the essential character of the activity ia which the regis trant Is engaged, the occupation which the registrant holds in that activity, and the need for the registrant in that occupation." "Selective service regulations provide that in class 11-A shall be placed any registrant who is found to be a 'necessary man in industry, business, employment, agricultural pursuit, government al service, or any other service or endeavor, the maintenance of which is essential to the national health, safety, or interest "Activities sapportiag the war effort include those activities which provide feed, clethmg. shelter, health, safety and other requisites ef ear daily life.
