men will be applied to them. Now, except for fathers, the test will be applied as to whether these men are “necessary men” in the essential industries. If they are necessary in civilian industry they will go into 2-A. If they are necessary in a war industry, they will become 2-B.

dreds of married men have been called in the state under this rule. Col. Robinson Hitchcock, state draft head, pointed out that the new draft regulations do not affect bona fide fathers. “Any registrant may be retained or placed in, Class 3-A if he ard his child or children maintain a bona fide family relationship in their home and if such status was acquired prior to Dec. 8, 1941, except for those registrants who are qualified for agricultural classification in Class 3-A and those who are now engaged in activities or occupations designated as non-deferable,” he said. “The men in the latter group must be classified as available for military service, regardless of family relationships, unless they transfer within the prescribed time to Jobs which contribute to the war effort.” Registrants who. ‘are placed in 3-A under the amended regulations will be frozen fa that classification until . the national selective: service orders & reclassification, Col. Hitchcock said. . This means that fathers will not be called until an order is issued from Washington.

Many Reclassified

© Col. Hitchcock pointed out that the ban against calling of fathers does not prohibit boards from placing men with children in 1-A in order to get ready for the time when they must send fathers and many focal boards reportedly are doing this. Most todiana boards have been reclassifying out of 3-A and into 1A for many months those men without children. The state draft head said, however, that the reclassification of non-fathers out of 3-A does not mean necessarily that they will be placed in 1-A immediately because many of them are engaged in occupations which contribute to the war effort and deferment may be given on their occupational necessity until satisfactory replacements can be found. They may be ‘placed in 2-A, as necessary in “essential civilian activity or 2-B as necessary to the war production program. The same situation exists for the men reclassified out of 3-B, except that they may be placed in 3-A in addition to 2-A or 2-B.

—only the fathers will remain when the present reclassification is completed.

said the new classification system would enable them to continue ‘to

of the armed forces, war production, agriculture and other essential civilian activities and, at the same time, protect as long as possible homes where there are children.”

3-C List to Grow

Maj. Gen. Lewis Hershey, national selective = service director, has warned that the time is not far off when fathers must be called to fill draft boards. The time will depend on how many men are made available through the reclassifications ordered today. JFrom all groups are expected to come a large number of agricultural deferments because of the current “back to the farm” movement which is due partly to the knowledge of registrants that they will be deferred for the duration by taking a farm job. There now are only 250,000 men in 3-C. farm workers with dependents. This number is expected to swell as reclassification of men entitled to this deferment is still underway. Those without dependents but necessaty to an agricultural activity, go in 2-C. In order to qualify for either a 2-A or. 2-B classification, a man must be specifically designated as entitled to occupational deferment in one of the lists, of essential jobs in 36 essential industries issued by the war ‘manpower commission. Those "fathers, pre-war and postwar, who are still employed May 1 in any of the jobs designated “nondeferrable” by the WMC, immediately lose all.deferment rights snd will be classified 1-A and be ready for imminent induction. They had been told Feb. 2 to either get into 1a war job or 1 their deferment, regardless of dependency. The determination of hardship and privation cases is expected to be the hardest faced by the draft

could be held by a force of no more than 30,000 for a considerable time. Compared with the open desert base of Tobruk, it is a veritable Gibraltar. Bizerte lacks some of the natural advantages of the Russian Sevastopol base but its chances for a lengthy siege are increased by its nearness "Sicily, from which fighter he coverage could be obtained. " Tunis Difficult to Hold

Rommel can maintain some fighter and bomber strength to aid his Afrika Korps as long as he holds a fairly sizable area in Tunisia but the growing allied air superiority may prevent the Iluftwaffe from operating from northern Tunisian bases when the final stand comes Bizerte is in a much stronger position than Tunis, which can be reached from at least three comparatively open routes. Situated at the tip of a rocky peninsula proétected. by fixed batteries, Bizerte is secure from the sea side. The land side is guarded by an elaborate system of pillboxes. The allies approaching on the land would run into a bottleneck from Mateur and Ferryville. Bizerte is situated about 20 miles north of Mateur on the tip of Tunisia at Cap Blanc.

Difficult Territory for Tanks

hr The protection is increased by its

almost landlocked harbor area. On the shore, heavy tanks would have difficult going through heavy sand dunes. The strongly fixed defenses along the coast are backed up by the strong Soumeur fortress plus addi-

tional installations on the small]

coastal islinds of La Galite and Petit Gaiton. The approaches from the Tunis gulf to the east and south are protected by a line of batteries which protect the advances both from Tunis and Gouiette. If Rommel’s orders call for a stand in Tunisia as long as possible, Bizerte affords a ready-made opportunity to demonstrate the Nazi ability to hold out in surrounded positions as well and as long as the British and the Russians have done,

The {frequent scratches, abrasions and lacerations that come in the course of ordinary. civilian and industrial life should be cleansed with an antiseptic or with soap and water, The wound may be kept sterile by lightly “frosting” it with sulfanilimide powder, which is sold in paper envelopes. Further bleeding is prevented by applying a compress under the pressure of the tension of bandage gauze. Adhesive tape will keep the dressing in place. It is just this use of sulfanilimide powder that saved so many lives at Pearl Harbor and on battlefields all over the world. It is not advisable to take indiscriminately any of the sulfanilimides by mouth. Such application of these drugs should be taken only under the orders and supervision of a doctor,

There are numerous antiseptic solutions, but none is perfect. Iodine irritates many skins, Metaphen, merthiolates, boric acid, and hydrogen-peroxide are the most benign. The use of plenty of soap and water, by its mechanical effect, is highly satisfactory. Superficial burns resulting in reddening of the skin may be covered with vaseline, and although uncomfortable, require no other treatment. Deeper burns should be covered with tannic acid jelly. The habitual use of laxatives or cathartics is in no way to be condoned. A simple, mild laxative is occasionally desirable, and the

of the least offending. Guard s Fever
