THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON, OHIO
Draft Deferments Con
tinue Hard To Obtain
(Concluded from page 1)
tion unless the government agency for
which his employer is working certi
fies a request for continued defer
ment on a Special Selective Service
Form 42-A.
The government certifications are
supposed to be issued only if a high
ly-skilled worker in war production
or an essential civilian activity can
meet such criteria as these four laid
down by WPB:
1—Doing work that is indispensable
in an activity that is on the War Man
Power Commission’s list of essential
activities.
No. 2—No such indispensable man
can be certified for deferment if he
can be replaced by a worker doing
less essential work within the plant
or establishment or by recruitment
from without.
3—An indispensable man shall be
considered as replaceable if a recruit
or transferee is available and can be
qualified to perform his work by three
months of instensive training.
4—Men engaged in planning re
search, development or production for
postwar purposes shall not be certi
fied for deferment.
Counting those who will be reject
ed at induction stations, it is antici
pated that only about 16,000 of the
estimated 45,000 Ohio men between
18 and 30 now deferred in urban in
dustry will actually be inducted.
This greatly alters the outlook of a
month ago, when selective service of
ficials said virtually all the able-bod
ied in the 18-through-29 bracket would
be in service by midyear.
More Up to 37 to Go
The special deferment procedure for
a limited number of “indispensables”
under 30 will require draft boards to
order the induction of an increasing
number of men 30 through 37.
The committee of selective service
and war industry' said yesterday that
it would be all right for employers to
file Selective Service Form 42-B in
behalf of male workers 34 through 37
now in Classes 2-A, 2-B, 2-A (F), 2
(F), 2-A (L) and 2-A(F) whom
the employers wanted continued in
those deferred categories.
Requests for the deferment of men
30 through 33 should be filed on Se
lective Service Form 42-A. The Form
42-A (Special—Revised) applies to
registrants 18 through 29.
In a revision of selective service
regulations last week it was stipulated
that, to be eligible for deferment, men
30 through 33 must be “necessary
men” in wor production or in activity
supporting the national health, safety
or interest. Men 34 through 37 need
be only “regularly employed” in one
of those activities.
Army Nurse Is Back
After Overseas Service
(Concluded from page 1)
was crushed so badly it had to be
amputated.
During her time overseas, Capt.
Beery came into contact with many
wounded German war prisoners. She
said the reaction of most of them
appeared to be one of relief that for
them at least the war is over.
Most of them who could speak
some English appeared to feel that
Germany has lost the war, altho oc
casionally one would declare that the
enemy* eventually will win. This at
titude, more than anything else, will
anger the doughboy orderlies who
must carry the wounded men when
they are moved, Capt. Beery said.
Little Food
in
France
Food in France is very scarce, she
reported, and Army personnel is
urged to eat at their regular Army
eating places Instead of French res
taurants, to help conserve the meagre
food supply for civilians.
A registered nurse, Capt. Beery
has been in the Army Nurse Corps
for two years and has been overseas
nine months. This is her first trip
to this country since going to the
European war theatre, and her ship
has been engaged most of the time in
transporting wounded men from Af
rica and France to hospitals in Eng
land.
She left Wednesday for Charles
ton, to make a return trip to Europe
on the hospital ship.

Six acres of alfalfa seeded in 1943
on a Guernsey county farm produced
12 tons of hay and then provided pas
ture for 22 cows for a month in 1944.
This production was in a year when
lack of rainfall cut com yields badly
in the same area where the alfalfa
was growing.-
Nitrogen in fertilizer promotes the
growth of plart stems and leaves and
too heavy application may delay ma
turing of the plant. Nitrogen defi
ciencies often are indicated by yel
lowing of plants’ leaves. Phosphorus
and calcium stimulate root growth and
affect the flowering and fuiting of the
plant. Potash stiffens plant stems and
may help to make plants resistant to
disease.

SHORTS AND MIDDLINGS
Good legume pasture keeps spring
pigs more healthy, helps them avoid
internal parasites, and lowers cost of
pork production.
Clogged outlets or broken tile will
delay seedbed preparation on thous
ands of acres of the best Ohio farm
land this spring. Timely repair work
on the tile lines may save many dol
lars.
Profits from egg production next
winter will be determined w’ithin the
next few weeks on thousands of Ohio
farms. No method of feeding or
flock management will make chicks
from poor stock efficient layers. High
egg production is an inherited factor.
An entomologist who has been ob
serving methods used to control grape
berry worm in Ohio vineyards advises
producers to concentrate for at least
one year on a program to reduce the
damage done by this insect. Combin
ing good cultural methods and five or
six spray applications reduced grape
berry worm damage by 90 per cent.

Flashlight Battery
A rechargeable wet flashlight bat
tery for industrial use built on the
principle of the automobile wet stor
age battery has been developed. A
freshly charged wet battery will
give about three hours of constant
light. In one test of 575 batteries in
375 flashlights operating for one year
$3,960 was saved, the cost of re
charging equipment excluded. This
boils down to a saving of $10 a year
on every flashlight maintained. The
new battery requires a special type
of lamp.
