This way is now uncover ed in the proposal to draft so-called 4-F’s— wh ich is to say the physically disqualified— for fa- im and factory work. It is held by Selective Service that legislation on the books permits this, though it is not expl ained how the constitutional problem of draft ing men to be used for somebody’s private prof it would be solved. Presumably, as has been su ggested, the Army might induct them as sold iers and then assign them to labor battalions. These various proposals have an indirect ob jective. They are aimed at focusing more press ure on the farms, where by far the greatest nu mber of the physically fit younger men that the Army really wants as fighters are still deferred, and are more or less protected by the Tydings Amendment which provides a vague deferment for farmers. Naturally at a time when the Department of Agriculture and the War Food Administration are striving to get continuously high food-pro duction quotas, some definite provision must be made for the normal farm work and for the peak demands of harvesting time. The evident intention here is to offer 4-F’s in return for the especially able-bodied youths of the farms. This is an immense sacrifice to ask of the farmers, especially since on many farms the youth are members of the family and have sp ecial skills and “ know-how” that city-bred 4-F’s could not hope to duplicate quickly. But it is a sacrifice that must be asked, if Army and Navy estimates of needs are to be accepted. And the turn o f the fighting suggests that earlier plans for highly trained specialist fighters or airmen--quality vs. quantity— must be revised. Against every hope and expectation, the conclusion is being forced upon us that land masses of troops must be employed. That means a sharp step-up of demands upon the young foot-soldiers. It concomitantly means that those remaining on the home front must realistically fill in the gaps. No law can entirely meet the problem. It re quires, as President Roosevelt very aptly says, some individual “ soul-searching” .

Interruption of electric service vital to farm operations is result ing almost daily in the Snake river valley from fire left untended along rural roadsides. "Numerous electric poles on the system of Idaho Power company have been destroyed this spring because of unwatched Ilres,” Bern ard Frost, the company's local man ager reports. "In these instances electric service was temporarily In terrupted and the interruptions affected a sizeable number of peo ple who were depending upon elec tricity for incubation, brooding, re frigeration, and other essential farrh operations." In addition, the problem o f ob taining poles for replacements has beopme serious, and the power company has issued a plea to farm ers and farm workers to exercise greater care when burning grass or weeds. There have been numerous In stances of repair crews spending their time replacing burned-out poles, while farmers in the same community were awaiting con struction of new extension lines which would bring them elec tricity to relieve labor shortages and assist crop production. "The Idaho Power company, like other industries, has lost many maintenance men to the armed forces, and a destroyed pole not only results in an interruption of service, but places additional bur den upon busy repair crews," Mr Frost points out. "W e ask the co operation of persons burning weeds along power lines in safeguarding both the poles and the continuity of electric service."
