Farms State Secretary of Agriculture, John H. Light, has asked Pennsyl- vanians over 63 years of age to ease the farm labor shortage by volunteering their services. “Pointing out that no source of farm labor can be overlooked,” Light said, “they could contribute greatly to the solution of the prob- lem’ even though they cannot be- expected to carry a great portion of the tremendous load.” His comment followed appeals sent to 72,000 Pennsylvanians over 65 now receiving Federal old age insurance to enlist in farm labor ranks wherever possible. The Department of Public As- sistance said it has been “giving every encouragement’- to the phy- cically qualified of the 96,500 per- sons over 65 now obtaining State assistance. H. Raymond Mason, State em- ployment director, added that per- sons receiving old age assistance would not lose the income if they obtained farm jobs since agricul- ture is exempt from Social Security provisions.

Ev’rybody Ev'ry Pay Day| 16,000,000 Women Enrolled in War Savings Payroll Plan, WASHINGTON, D. C.—Women At War Week, opening Nov. 22, during . which women will seek to sell the greatest single week’s volume of War Bonds and Stamps will serve to put the spotlight on the mighty contribu- tion women generally are making toward financing the war. Six million women are on War Savings payroll plans. “deductions total $70,000,000. The customers of 300,000 newspa- per boys who have sold more than $50,000,000 in War Bonds and Stamps are mostly women. Volunteer saleswomen run nearly all the Bond booths in theatres from Maine to California. They also are sparking the War Bond sales in re- tail stores. Ralph G. Engelsman, Associate Field Director of the payroll savings section of the War Savings. Staff, readily admits that without the sup- port of women the phenomenal rec- ord of payroll savings enrollments would not have been achieved. Pay- roll savings plans are now in opera- tion in 148,000 businesses and fac- tories. Employees of twenty-five thousand of these firms are convert- ing at least 10 percent of gross pay- rolls into War Bonds every payday. Associate Field Director Engels- man says that women have contrib- uted directly and indirectly toward this record. When a man devoted 10 or more percent of his pay envelope to War bonds, the woman at home has had a powerful voice in the de- cision. Her planning, her economies and her cheerfulness play their part in the success of payroll savings. The Treasury Department is count- ing upon this woman influence in its current campaign to “top that 10 percent by New Year's.” By the first of the year the Treasury hopes to enroll at least 3,000,000 women Their monthly ‘This Is My Fight Too’ Proud of her investment in the Ameri- can way of life and equally proud of the | grime of war production on her face and arms, the young lady in this “Women At , War Week’’ poster symbolizes two of the chief activities of women at war. and 5,000,000 more men with total deductions for War Bonds over the workers in a payroll savings plan 10 percent mark, Local Draft Classifications By No. 1Board Class 1-A Paul Richard Diffenderfer, R.
