BOARDS MUST NOT
DELAY INDUGTIONS
OF OLDER GROUPS
Draft board members throughout
Pennsylvania hold a warning from
Col. Richard K. Mellon, state selec-
tive service director, not to postpone
the induction or all registrants over
26 years of age.
“No order has been issued by na-
tional neadquarters automatically
postponing the induction of all reg-
istrants over 26 years of age,” he
wrote draft board members.
“It is quite clear that local boards
must not automatically postpone the
induction of all men over 26, irre-
spective of what they are doing,”
Mellon wrote in a personal letter
which was more in the nature of a
“Rather,” he continued, ‘before
postponing the induction of any reg-
istrant over 26, the local board mem-
bers must consider his case and def-
initely determine that he is, in fact,
making a contribution to the war ef-
fort.”

Board members must determine for |
themselves, said Mellon, whether a
nian 26 or over is essential as it was |
| motorists to use fuel ‘“dopes” re- |
| ding beneficial results in any case.
base your decisions upon all availa- |
» information in each specific |
se,” he advised. |
“In many cases,” he admitted, “it
is difficult to make such a decision.
Nevertheless, it must be made by the |
local board members who live in the |
community.” i
“My suggestion,” continued Mellon |
“is that you consider the case of |
each registrant over 26 and make up
your minds as to whether he is or is
not contributing to the war effort. |
If you decide that he is contributing,
postpone his induction until we get
further orders from national head-
quarters.
“If you decide that he is not con-
tributing, process him for induction. |
In other words, no crder has been |
issued by national headquarters au- |
tumatically postponing the induction
of all registrants over 26 years of
age. |
“The principal point I should like |
to make is that it is not possible for |
state or national headquarters to!
i provide local boards with a definite
yardstick to use in making deter-
minations.” , i

“The directories list many new and

“Telephone users can help maintain |

| “Wrong number calls, and unnec-

LONDON.—“In telling you how
long you are to go away again, it is
cause prison must indeed be home to
you, and no amount of punishment
seems to have the slightest effect.”
With these words Justice Cassels,
at Lewes, England, sent Maude Har-
rison, alias Kathleen Abbott, 50
to penal servitude for
three years, to be followed by five
years’ probation.
Miss Harrison, a tall, bespectacled
woman, had pleaded guilty to steal-
ing property belonging to women
with whom she had stayed at Bex-
hill and Sidley, and also to being
an habitual criminal. She asked for
45 outstanding offenses to be taken
into consideration.
In the calendar she was described
as a cook, and Superintendent Sim-
mons said that during the last 28%
years she had spent 25 years in
custody, and twice previously she
had been convicted of being an
habitual criminal.
In all parts of the country, Miss
Harrison had obtained situations as
a domestic helper, and she had been
employed at many well-known res-
taurants in London.
The superintendent added that she
kad confessed that she obtained
those positions only for the purpose
When apprehended by the police
at Bexhill, the woman was alleged
to have said: “I have given you a
good run for the last 14 months.”
During that period she had not done
a stroke of work.
Mr. Harold Brown, defending, said
his client had told him that he could
not say anything in her favor.
Before she disappeared from pub-
lic view for another eight years, the
judge told her: “Your occupation is
to prey on the public and you have
often robbed people who could ill
afford to lose their property.”

Food Board Reports,
Thanks to the food supplies the
United Kingdom has received from
the United States and Canada, the
diet available to her people is now |
barely adequate, although Americans |
and Canadians fare somewhat better |
according to the recent report of the
Combined Food Board of these three |
countries, While the pre-war diets of |
the three countries were similar, the |
United Kingdom has been compelled |
during war time to turn more to veg- |
etables and grains for her protein and
fats, while the United States and
Canada have fared better than the
United Kingdom in animal fats and
fruits. The Combined Food Board,
set up in 1942 to achieve maximum
utilization of the food resources oi
the United States, Canada and the
United Kingdom, includes a member
from each of these three countries.
The report just issued is the most
complete comparison yet made of
civilian food supplies in these coun-
tries.
