Asks Protection At Ravinia Crossing At the Monday council meeting, Donald S Trumbull, civilian defense coordinator for the city, requested $1,000 from the city to meet necesâ€" sary expense of the defense commitâ€" tee.

The demands The Director pointed out that the Class IIâ€"B deferments were designed to assure the deferment of men whose skills are essential to War Production. The time will come in the future when Class IIâ€"B men who have been reâ€" placed will be reclassified, he said, but until such time these men must be left at their benches and machines as long as they cannot be adequately replaced. He ordered local boards to review the cases of every man now deferred in Class ITâ€"A which defers men conâ€" sidered necessary to the public safeâ€" ty and interest, with a view to remove all men from this class except those having the highest skills and those most urgently needed in actual War Production. The Director repeated a recent apâ€" peal to employers engaged in War Production to replace where ever posâ€" sible men now employed who are fit for military duty with older men, women, men whose physical characâ€" teristics fail to meet Army Standards, and men with dependents who are deâ€" ferred on those grounds. "Eventually" he said, "every poâ€" tential Iâ€"A man will serve in the Armed Forces. However, it is the War â€" Department policy that those necsssary to the War Production Proâ€" gram be left on their jobs for the present and that those qualified for War Production be so employed. When we reach a point where War Production fevels off and when time has been had to effect replacements, then Selective Service can begin to take for the Army these necessary men." ‘ Colonel Paul G. Armstrong, State Director of Selective Service today issued a strong directive to all Local Board in the state and an urgent apâ€" peal to all employers in Illinois conâ€" cerning the vital need at the present time for producing manpower for the Armed Forces and for keeping on their jobs men who are absolutely necâ€" essary in War Production Industries. Armstrong Asks That Key Men Not Be Drafted All in the community who are inâ€" terested in making this an outstanding event are invited to join with the above groups.

Under the heading of "Old World Memories" will be shown the Sword Gates, the old slave mart, the oldest house in America, at St. Augustine, etc. Dr. Murray‘s subject next Sunday is "Florida and the Deep South," ilâ€" lustrated with moving colored pictures. The pictures will include the world famous gardens of Bellingratch at Mobile, the stately Cyprus Gardens at Charleston, the Ravine Gardens of Pulotka, the Middleton Gardens at Charleston. Next Sunday evening at the North Shore Evening Club the address will be given by Dr. Alfred N. Murray who last year appeared twice on the season‘s program, onee on Hawaii and once on Switzerland and Italy with ever shown to North Shore Sunday Evening Club Audiences. Dr. Alfred N. Murray To Address The Sunday Eve Club To obtainâ€" a statement of the amounts of wages that have been credited to an individual‘s social seâ€" curity account up to July 1, 1941, a worker may make application by letâ€" ter, giving his name, address, birth date, and account number, to the Social Security Board. Mr. Lewis adâ€" ded that all Board offices have supâ€" plies of a postâ€"card form which may be filled out by the worker and mailed to the Board for wage record inforâ€" mation. The Board can furnish wage information to covered workers as of July 1, 1941, at the present time, but will not be able to furnish wage inâ€" formation for the last half of 1941 until approximately July 1, 1942. Mr. Lewis said that employers reâ€" port wages paid to covered workers to the Collector of Internal Revenue in the month following each calendar quarterâ€" These reports are forwarded at a later date to the Baltimore office where the amounts paid to. workers are credited to their individual soâ€" cial security acounts. This means, said Mr. Lewis, that there is a "lag period" between the time the wages are paid and the employers‘ reports eventually reach the Board. Local Social Security Board offiâ€" cials today announced that wage reâ€" cords for the calendar year of 1941 would not be available to individuals wishing this information for current income tax reporting purposes. Albert S. Lewis, Manager of the Waukegan Board office explained that all records of wage earners, maintained for oldâ€"age and survivors insurance purposes, are on file in the Wage Records office of the Board in Baltimore, Maryland. 1941 Wafo Earnings Not Available for Income Tax Returns Mr. Henry Fowler, the Commisâ€" sioner of the North Shore Area Counâ€" cil had this to say, "There are 730 boys who became 12 years of age in 1941 in our Council. There were 680 new Scouts, all of which means that 91.3% of boys available for Scouting were recruitedâ€" There are 2190 boys in the Council, ages 12, 13 14. With a membership of 1802 Scouts it will be seen that 82.3% of the available boys are regular active Scouts. The Naâ€" tional Council, B.S.A. through many national surveys, have determined that 3 boys out of 4 desire to become Scouts. Thus it will be seen how thorougly our Council covers the field in Scout Membership" Scouting Continues Mr. Kenneth L Fox, the President of the North Shore Area Council, has this to say, "In these days when §euti-. nhodd play an extremely important part in every community it is indeed gratifying that the North Shore Area Council has made such tremendous progress. From statistiâ€" cals and reports available it is readiâ€" ly seen that the North Shore Area Council is one of the foremost Counâ€" cils of the country. Not satisfied with this, however, the Executive Board and complete personnel are deterâ€" mined. that Scouting shall grow in quality and quantity through out all of our 26 towns." To Grow If you had been privileged to sit in on the Executive Board Mecting of the North Shore Area Council at its meetings last Tuesday evening, you would have felt a thrill that these members enjoyed in learning of the progress in Scouting during 1941. _ The facts are: That for 15 years in a row, ever since the Council was orâ€" ganized on Christmas Eve., 1926, there has been a continual gain in boy membershipâ€" Never a year has there been a loss. From 311 Scouts and no Cubs on Dec. 31, 1926, this organizaâ€" tion has grown until as of P:‘c.& 1941 there was a membership Scouts, 801 Cubs, and 623 men. As of Dec. 31, 1940 there were 758 Cubs and 1779 Scouts. At Field Museum Indies." Miss Elizabeth Hambleton.
