SELECTIVE SERVICE FAC IN G
SOME D IFFIC U LT PROBLEMS
The selective service, which has conducted
a very efficient program of drafting men for the
armed services, has very wisely, in some resp
ects, decided to reclassify men between the ages
of 38 and 45, but the service must be careful
not to cause confusion as has been done by sev
eral government agencies.
The exemption of men between 38 and 45
has been rescinded, so that men of those ages
are now eligable for call, but at the same time
the army is now discharging men between the
ages o f 38 and 45 because they are too old. At
least two such Nyssa men have returned home
within the last few days without any particular
plans for the future. That is rather conflicting,
to say the least.
O f course, the purpose o f the reclassification
of 4-H men into classes 2-C and 3-C is to secure
more farm workers. Those who are capable and
willing to work on farms apparently will be def
erred. Others may expect to be inducted into
the army.
The government estimates that during this
year, out of an army o f 5,500,000 men 500,000
men will break up and become unfit for milit
ary service. If men between the ages o f 38 and
45 are placed in active military service the num
ber of casualties from breakdowns will be in
creased because not many men of that age can
stand the rigors of active military duty.
As the army climbs in numbers, the problems
o f selective service are going to increase.
M E A T R A T IO N IN G
The long expected rationing program became
effective last Monday. It isn’t nearly as intricate
for the consumer as the canned vegetables-fruits
program, although it promises plenty of “ head
aches” for the butcher who will probably be re
quired to argue with every other customer con
cerning the amount of bone and fat he should
trim from each chop.
Rationing o f butter, cheese, other edible fats
and oils and canned fish was also started Mon
day, March 29th. Those fortunate owners of
poultry flocks are especially favored. Poultry,
game, horsemeat, fresh, or other fish not con
tained in sealed cans or bottles are not to be
rationed immediately.
The necessity for meat rationing arises of co
urse, from the present inequitable distribution
Californians, for example, are amazed upon
coming to Idaho to find that some kind of meat
is procurable. On the other hand some states
may be more favored than Idaho in other res
pects. The O PA says that meat allotments will
be proportionately more generous than the lim
its put on earlier this month on canned, frozen
and dry fruits and vegetables. It is to be hoped
Today Is April Fool’s Day But
It’s No Fooling
Buy Coal Now
When we say
Information from responsible sources indi
cates we may face a serious shortage o f coal
next winter.
Coal mines and their sales representatives ur
ge both dealers and consumers to buy their fuel
supply for next winter right Now. Government
officials are also recommending that the public
buy coal now.
Here »re Rome of the reasons:
1. Transportation of coal Is problematical
2 Miners, like farmer», are being drafted into the armed force*.
3 Oil shortage* or oil rationing is Ukely to require many people
to return to thr use of coal.
You won t toe fooled if you buy coal now.

so, as these allotments in many cases are scar
cely more than gestures.
In the meantime, milk, cereals, fresh fruits
an vegetables are not rationed. With erstwhile
vacant lots throughout the county verdant wi
th growing vegetables this summer, vegetarian
ism is likely to become extremely prevalent if
not popular.
