Changed His Will An elderly gentlemen—wealthy and very deaf-—came into our shop to purchase a much improv- ed hearing aid. Two weeks later he returned to report that he could hear conversations quite easily, even in the next room. “Your friends and relatives must be very happy that you can hear so much better,” I said. “Oh, I haven't told them,” he chuckled. “I've been sitting ar- ound listening—and do you know what? I've changed my will twice!” Double Need for This Man's Services The chief constable of a small town is also the veterinary sur- geon. One night the telephone rang and his wife answered.

The Liquor Control Board also has made other plans in anticipa- tion of the usual Christmas-New Year buying rush. About 600 additional store clerks will be hired to augment the regular force in handling the holiday trade. Many of them al- ready are on the job. °° Although the final decision has not yet been made, there may be extended store hours, particularly in the heavily populated sections. Ample stocks will be available, a spokesman said, although some brands of Scotch and bottled-in- bond whiskies will not be too plentiful. There will be plenty of gins, brandies, cordials and domestic wines, but not too many import- ed wines. The extra holiday merchandise has a wholesale value of about ten million dollars. There isn’t anything unusual about the size- able pre-Christmas inventory, the board officials point out. As a | matter of fact, they explained, 1t | is smaller than in previous years, | because of a general slack in li- | quor sales throughout the coun- | try. Normally, the State's liquor monopoly system—the greatest in the world— has an inventory of between 30 and 35 million doll- ars, at cost figures. With the ar- rival of the new holiday train load shipments the inventory will zoom bewond the 40 million dol- lar mark. Some board orficials expect the December sales this year to go over thirty million dollars. Last year the month's sales amounted to $29,7750,000. So far liquor sales this year are about six per cent under last year’s. The 1947 state sales totaled $218,000,000 and yielded about $56,000,000 to the Commonweal- th’s general fund, including pro- fits and the ten per cent emer- gency tax on liquor. The board adds a 48 per cent mark-up on all merchandise ex- cept wine, which is marked up at 43 per cent .The ten per cent ex- cise tax is added on top of that Army Is Picking Its New Draftees With More Care More Rejections May Be Due to Strict Standards The Army apparently is choos- ing its draftees more carefully than during the war, as is shown by the fact that 32,000 out of over 44,000 men examined since early November have been re- jected. This 70 percent rate, about dou- ble the wartime rejection rate of 35.8 percent, may be due to the stricter physical standards set by Army doctors, draft officials say. Most of the men examined were in the 24 and 25-year-old groups, though some boards dipped down into the 23-year-olds and a few to the 22s. So probably, most of these men were looked over and turned down for physical reasons during World War II. Draft officials have estimated that only 70,000 men in the 22-25 age bracket would be eligible for the draft because of exemptions for marital status, previous ser- vice and other reasons. The Army is planning to get the majority of its draftees from those registrants under 22. Pre- liminary estimates in the three bottom age groups show more than 200,000 21-year-olds, about 500,000 20-year-olds and some 600,000 19-year-olds. About 1,000,- 000 come of draft age each year. When training camps get into full swing, the present 20,000- | man calls probably will be boost- | ed to 30,000 monthly, thus adding | 360,000 new men each year.
