Men in this county were notified to prepare to go to Camp.

This of_all times for the U. 8. seems necessary to speed up in labor production instead of thru Pederal and state rules take hundreds of thousands of our most aetive young men away from their regular business duties for months before they are given a chance to_go- into actual train- ing for army. duties.. " .. . pRs 8 © %1, The U. 8. is short of labor in all industries and. the government, federal and states efforts, should be to systematic- ally make every able bodied citizen’s efforts count either making war for world democracy or making products-at home. with which to win the war; slackers in the federal and state depart- ments are more detrimental under these conditions than'slack-|. ers amongst individuals. - 2. ‘Eliminate the uncertainty of feeling that has been created in the hearts of the young men " called under the first draft, and still at home-after 90 days have passed; teach them that our federal and state departments are worthy of their con- fidence-and will, thru system, win in war abroad as well as business that they are taking over at home.. i 3.
