COMMUNITY FUND Hard Work Makes Farm Pay For Elderly Couple Directors At Meeting In New York Turn Down His John Doak, 92, And Wife, 68, Surprise Worcester County With Success By ALFRED D. CHARLES Staff Correspondent of The Sun ERRORS IN TESTS GIVEN SELECTEES Some Men Passed At Home As Physically Fit Fail To Get Okay Here Boards Are Requested To Use Care In Filling Out Forms A number of draft registrants have suffered serious embarrassment and inconvenience because their local medical examiners and draft boards failed to follow instructions in select ing the men for military training, it was disclosed yesterday. Approximately one out of every ten men so far sent to Baltimore for in duction into the army has been re jected by medical examiners here for physical defects which induction ofG cials said should have been detected in nearly all the cases, before they were required to leave their homes, Illustration Given One man was classified by his draft board as physically fit for mill tary service and sent to Baltimore, where the examining physicians at the induction center found immediately that his eyes were so weak he could not possibly have passed any real examination. There was nothing for the army to do but send him back home. Many of the men in this category, it was pointed out, have given tip their jobs, in many cases given away much of their civilian clothing in anticipation of a year in uniform, and otherwise severed completely the physical ties to civil life.

They never thought they might be rejected for physical reasons, after having passed an examination at home. Hardships Result Improper physical examinations re sulting in rejection of the men on reaching the induction center, an official said, work hardships on such men, and in many cases cause them considerable embarrassment because they had been given elaborate sendoffs by their neighbors and fellow towns people only to be put in the position of having to be sent back home. Lieut Col. Emory H. Gist, chief medical officer at the Baltimore indue tion station, said that out of the first seventy men to report, after having passed physical examinations given by local boards, seven were rejected here.

Two were turned down because of faulty vision, four for hernia and one was rejected for tuberculosis. X-Rays Not Given The latter, unless it had been in an advanced state, could not very well have been detected before the man was sent to Baltimore, however. The local medical examiners, who certify (Continued on Page 10, Column 2) Groups Using President Roosevelt yesterday approved the membership of Maryland's four boards of appeal to which prospective selective service trainees may kave recourse. The board members were recommended to the President by Governor O'Conor. Decisions of these boards will be final and reviewable only by the President of the United States.

For the purpose of the appeals boards, the State has been divided into four districts. Governor O'Conor Announced. The Four Districts They are: Board No. 1 The nine counties of the Eastern Shore. Board No.

3 Baltimore city. Board No. 3 Harford, Anne Arundel. Princt George's, Calvert, Charles, Mary's and Baltimore counties. Board No.

4 Montgomery, Frederick, Howard, Carroll, Washington, Allegany and Garrett counties. In the case of Board No. 2, for Baltimore city, there will be two divisions, known as Division A and Division because of the great number of registrants in the city. Care In Selection "1 have just received notification from C. A.

Dykstra, director of the elective service, that the President's rdr confirms the appointments as of today," the Governor said. "Mr. Dykstra has requested me to give formal notice of the appointment to each of the members and to have them execute the oath of office. "Thereupon certificates of appoint ment will be issued from Washington so that the boards of appeal can review anv action of the local boards which may be in dispute. "In submitting the recommendations to President Roosevelt, I made careful to select citizens whose integrity and capabilities are the high est.

I am confident that the boards which have been appointed will creditably perform the important duties in connection with the selective service law, and I am asking the members to serve as a matter of patriotic duty." The boards are as follows: APPEAL BOARD NO. 1 Easton Wuxiam H. Abkws, Easton, former chief judge. Second Judicial Circuit of Maryland; former member, Court of Appeals. LncT.

If the 1941 budget of $62,099,250.95 is to be cut. the reductions must be made in large bureau allotments like the appropriation for the School Board, Dr. Charles J. Wells, vice-president and Democratic floor leader of the City Council, told his colleagues last night Dr. Wells then made a motion to cut $100,000 from the appropriation of the Board of School Commissioners.

A reduction of this amount would not, in his opinion, impair the essential facilities of the Department of Educa tion, he declared. The total school budget for next year is $10,272,611.40, an increase of $222,936 over 1940. Earlier in the discussion on the budget for 1941 the Council vice-president moved to strike out an allotment of $30,000 to the Association of Commerce. He made this motion a few minutes after the clerk of the Council read a letter from the association ask ing for a reduction in the 1941 budget Groups Oppose Tax Boost In another letter read to the Coun cilman from the Citizens Emergency Tax Control Commission, a large number of civic organizations were listed as being opposed to an increase in the tax rate. Among them was the Woman's Club of Govans.

Leon Abramson Fourth) arose -and asked: "Wonder if they indorsed the $35,000 item in the 1941 budget for additions to the Govans library?" The Board of Estimates placed this item in the budget just before it approved the 1941 statement. Dr. Wells then took the floor and asked, "What do they get the $30,000 for?" referring to the allotment for the Association of Commerce. Richard C. O'Connell, President of the Council, then declared that these organizations "are asking that the budget be cut so as to include only the essentials, and I think the association should be asked for an itemized state ment." Criticizes Organizations Continuing his remarks, Dr.

Wells severely criticized organizations "which ask that the budget be cut and at the same time get allotments from the city." "I have observed that some of the very people who are advocating cut ting the budget stand to profit by the increase in it," he declared. The Council vice-president declared "they come in here with their right hands making great protestations and with their left hands, they are dipping into the till." We can't be hypocritical like that and cut the budget," he asserted. "It's a hypocritical situation and unless they want to approach this matter fairly, they can't cut the budget." Wants Bonnell To Explain "I'd like to know who signed the Association of Commerce letter. Mr President," James F. Arthur (Dem Third) asked Mr.

O'Connell. "Robert O. Bonnell (the president)," Mr. O'Connell replied. "Well, I think Mr.

Bonnell should be asked to come to the Council to explain the matter," Mr. Arthur said. I want to know who is to be the judge of what is essential and non essential," Mr. Sloman declared. "Cer tainly this isn't an essential item." he added.

According to the budget, $10,000 of the $30,000 is a subsidy to the asso ciation and $20,000 is for the tourist bureau. This is the same amount as was allotted in 1940. To Await Public Meeting "I move that this item be stricken from the budget." Dr. Wells declared. A general debate started.

Finally it was agreed that no action would be taken on the various budgetary items (Continued on Page 13, Column 2) EXTRA VALUE!

But yesterday as they have done at their annual meeting for the last ten years they turned down "Uncle Dan" flat.

They refused to let him retire. They elected him for the thirty-first time as head of the nation's oldest railroad. Started A Laborer Two visions may have passed before the brisk mannered, white haired president as he stood before his board in New York. Looking back, he could see his own career, begun sixty-one years ago as a track laborer. Looking over his railroad he could see locomotives hauling passengers and freight over lines extending more than 12,000 miles between the Hudson and the Mississippi rivers.

Schoolboy Willard started out to be a scientific farmer and after two years in high school in his notice Windsor county, Vermont, entered Massachusetts Agricultural Collefle. Serious eye trouble developed in his first year and in the spring of 1879 he withdrew to his father's farm. 80,000 Freight Cart In System Strung out over the system, some in repair shops, some loaded, some empty were more than 80,000 freight cars. Cattle and coal, fertilizer and fish, wheat and wallboard, motor cars and mill work, sugar and steel were being transported.

Ex, PLANTLIBERTY 9000 yfE Snow Hill, Nov. 27 John Young Doak turned his gray eyes toward his barn and scratched his chin. It was about time for feeding the cows and his wife was tending to them. "Aye," said Johnny Doak, "she's a grand wife." And there is hardly a resident of Worcester county who doesn't marvel at Mrs. Essie Hance Doak, for she and her husband have laid two bugaboos of farming.

During the last four years they have proved that poor land can produce a living if its owners work hard enough. And they have proven that such industry knows no age limitation. 92 And 68 For Johnny- Doak is 92, and Essie Doak is 63.

A Funny Experience Her ruddy face broke into a smile. "It was funny the other day," she said, leaning the pitchfork against the side of a stall. "I went in town to the miller's and when I started to go up the steps, he gave me his arm to help me." There was a merry chuckle. "I suppose if he could see me going up that ladder every day he wouldn't help me but I didn't let on, I took his arm and leaned on it obligingly."

S.

May Have To Take Special Precautions For Defense Work Labor shortages have increased so noticeably throughout the country in recent months that the Federal Government may have to take special pre cautions against bottle-necks in na tional defense industries. David L. B. Fringer, director, of the Maryland State Employment Service, said yesterday. Participating in a round-table dis cussion held the National Christian Mission, Mr.

Fringer said that more than 1,000,000 workers had returned to jobs in the last two months. He added that the National Defense Ad visory Commission anticipates that 5,000,000 more persons will be placed within a year. "For the first time within the mem ory of many workers," he said, "there is a shortage of labor in certain classifications." Replies To Questions Mr. Fringer made his statements in reply to questions that were posed by other persons sitting in on the conference. These shortages are so important," he said, "that the Federal Government is taking counts every thirty days on 500 different occupations essential to defense industries, is sending repre sentatives to call on defense employers every thirty days to discuss their labor needs and is arranging for clearance.

The employment director told his questioners that, so far as Maryland was concerned, he anticipated a "seri ous" situation for farmers next spring because of acute shortages in field hands and general farm help. Movement From Farm "Farm boys are flocking into defense industry," asserted, "and you can' blame them for wanting 50 cents an hour, compared with a dollar or two they would make daily back on the farm. "It's a slack season in agriculture just plenty of hands are com paratively idle, and they're coming from ell over Maryland to take jobs in industry.
