EXCITING NEWS from BEHRENDS DRAFT BOARD T0 ENFORCE STRICT DEFERMENT PLAN Employers Must Replace All Men Possible to | Aid Defense John L. McCormick, Territorial| Director of Selective Service, has announced that the Selective Ser- vice System has adopted a more stringent policy regarding the de- ferment of men from military ser- vice. Irreplaceable men who are absolutely essential to the national health, safety, and interest will continue to be deferred. Director McCormick emphasized, however, that there remains a clear responsibility upon each em- ployer to present clearly to local boards the necessity for deferment in each individual case. Unlessand ntil this necessity is proven, the local board will not defer a man| who is qualified for general mili- tary service. The Director pointed | out that we are now passing through that phase where many employers feel that each one of their employees is an essential| man. A close examination of the| facts shows that in many in-| stances these employees can be readily replaced. | Where such replacement is im- possible, the local boards will| ant deferment for a period of| time sufficient to enable the em- pleyer to replace the individual for | whem deferment is requested. | Director McCormick emphasized that Selective Service will insure that every man essential to war| preduction will be left in his job so long as he remains irreplaceable. Nevertheless, as the pool of avail-| able men in the combat ages be- comes depleted, it is essential that every possible effort be made by empleyers to look to sources other than Class 1-A men for their em- | ployees. This means a much greater em-| ployment of women, and of men below and above the combat ages,| those with dependents, or physical | difficulties that disqualified lhem‘ for military service, or who other-| wise are not available for combat | duty. It is probable, the Director stated, that these groups will be the only available labor supply in ~ BARNEY GOOGLE AND SNUF( FY SMITH : .

In the demands made by defense indus- | tries, government services, and pri- vate employment on men who are eligible for military service, the demands of the armed forces must and will take precedence. Director McCormick further | pointed out that upon the employ- rests a definite responsibility to replace and make available all men who are qualified for full mili- tary service. He advised all ployers to look forward to the time when they will attempt to re- place all men in their employ who are 1-A eligibles, but who are now deferred. As our casualty lists grow, it is questionable how long public opin- ion, will support the deferment of a man whose number has been passed over and who can be re- placed. The Selective Service S; tem is confident, Director McCor- mick stated, that it will receive the | | full cooperation of every employer, for all of us realize that to win this all-out war every man must serve his country in that capacity which will be most beneficial to the Nation.

SEATTLE, Feb. 11, — The coast | line embraced by the Thirteenth | Naval District amounts to four-sev- | enths of the total U. S. and Alaska | shore line, it was revealed today at Staff Headquarters as a result of | comparative research by the Public | Relations Office. The Thirteenth Naval District has ‘ a coast line of 16,352 miles—and this | measurement includes oply mlelsl three miles or more in width, so that | for the purposes of practical naviga- tion the district is actually’ ‘'much larger. The Fleventh Naval District| (southern California) and Twelfth District (northern California) com- bined, have only one-fourteenth of the coast line of the Thirteenth Naval District. 3 Alaska islands alone have 8,590 miles of shoreline, while Washing- ton and Oregon have 429 miles and | 16 miles of island shore respectively. The comparative shoreline figures | were investigated to inform the pub- | lic as to the problems faced by the Navy in its defense of the district, and to illustrate the tremendous extent of the Thirteenth District. Inland States in the district are Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. HERE THEY ARE, REAL ICE WORDS ALASKA RAISED Territorial Museum Has Wigglers on Dis- | play Now | Ice worms?
