I was much interested to see how this was done on a large scale. As a food watercress has many valuable vitamins. I spent the afternoon seeing a succession of visitors. A group came in at teatime, which included my cousin. Stewart AIsop.

Selective Service headquarters said today the new 'teen-age draft bill's provision for deferring farm workers was so badly stated that an official Interpretation would be required. Spokesmen said the provision, which some congressional proponents had said during debate would make little if any change in previous regulations, was being studied closely at headquarters preparatory to issuance of a definition for local boards.

The language of the clause follows: "Every registrant found by a selective service local board, subject to appeal in accordance with section 10 (A) (2), to be necessary to and regularly engaged in an agricultural occupation or endeavor essential to the war effort, shall be deferred from training and service in the land and naval forces." Given Special Status Although agriculture already was listed among some 39 activities designated as "essential to the support of the war effort," it was the only one" given special deferment status through legislation. This factor apparently has given rise to some concern at national headquarters that varying or extreme interpretations of the provision among the 6,500 local boards, some of which deal almost exclusively with farm workers, might upset quotas and calls. Regulations which have been in effect for some time covering deferments in agricultture as one of the essential activities permit local boards to reclassify farm workers as 3-B, adding occupational deferment to the dependency deferment they held before. Does Not Assure Deferment While this type of classification does not assure deferment for any specified length of time, a number of essential positions both in agriculture and food processing were designated as essential in those fields of work. Holders of these positions, regardless of whether they have dependents, are eligible for deferment for specific periods, not to exceed six months except when extensions are granted after subsequent In reality, it's a junior dining room suite .00 50 Handsome barrel back period chairs sturdy framfs.

One Year to Pay I By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT LONDON, England, Monday On Friday evening a few old friends dined with us and on Saturday I went over to make a recording early in the morning. On my return to tne apartment, I had a very interesting talk with Ernest Bevin and Mr. Ince.

After that, the high commissioners of four Dominions came to call and General Smuts also dropped in. I feel sorry that I have not been able to see much of the work done here for and with the" Dominion groups, but in many ways it seems to be similar to the work done by the British and Americans. I stopped at the British Speaking Union a little later and met a number of their board members and other distinguished guests. I saw a distributing post from which gifts from the English Speaking Unions in America are issued. They say they have been sent a tremendous number of very useful things and are most grateful.

Second hand garments can be given out without coupons, Just as it is being done in other depots. That means a great deal to people who have been bombed out and have nothing left. Then we went to another room, where guides are furnished to Americans over here and any information Americans may desire can be obtained. I think this is a most valuable service, because if anything is more confusing than to land in London and be friendless, it Is to find oneself alone in New York City. If you lose your way here in a fog, you are apt to be a long while finding your way again.

People have been known to take four hours to reach a place, which in ordinary times could be walked in 15 minutes. I think one of the greatest difficulties for our American men is the fact that there really are so few ways of getting about. After a comparatively early hour, the busses and trains become fewer as time goes by and the blackout is so gloomy it is far pleasanter to stay In a well lighted cheerful house, even though every curtain must be carefully drawn and not one light must shine out through a chink. You have to become accustomed to getting in, out and around brick walls, which are erected to keep light from shining from the doorway. Where that protection has not been built, the light has to be turned out before the door is opened, or there is a heavy black curtain inside the door.

Baker of the London fire department, who said that Philadelphia's air raid drill yesterday was "far better" that any he had seen in London, today told how a brewery fire in London was fought with the brewery's own beer. Baker said that during the blitz fires broke out all over the city and the scarcity of water was their greatest problem. When a demolition bomb destroyed the main feeding the hoses during the brewery fire his men inserted suction pumps into the brewery's vats and extinguished the fire, Baker said. Other tricks used, he said, included pumping from water-filled bomb craters and damming streets near fires so the water could be reused. Let freedom ring on Uncle Sam's cash register! Buy U.
