LOCAL DRAFT BOARD CLASSIFICATION MAY HOT BE PERMANENT To correct a general misunderstanding on the part of selective service registrants concerning their classifii cation, Paul G. Armstrong, state di- | rector, recently emphasized that no | classification by a local board is permanent. "The deferment of any registrant," said Mr. Armstrong, "is subject to termination whenever the basis for such deferment ceases to exist. Every registrant must notify his local board of any change which would require his reclassification. Also, the local board will reclassify any registrant whenever it receives new information warranting such action. Reclassification also may occur as a result of any chahges in the rules and regulations of the selective service act." Mr. Armstrong pointed out that a great many ™«ristranta have the mistakep belief that if they are married, they will be automatically deferred. "Marriage itself does not constitute a deferment." he said. "Class III deferments can only come from dependency.

At this point of the journey Joe, who was the driver for every inch of the journey, ran into a few complications in the form of rail! You may think it queer that he drove all this distance alone, as long ] as he was accompanied by three husky lads, but he explains this very simply by stating, "I like to drive too well to let anybody else at the wheel."

They need merely to purchase the fromt detieaeies and thaw them out. Not only are they able to buy them already frozen, but McHenryites are planning to purchase their favorite edibles next summer and store them away in these lockers for use at any time, thus having the fresh foodstuffs without having to pay an enormous price for them. Lewis A. Mills, operator of the plant, tells us that each locker will hold from 200 to 275 pounds, which is equivalent to a quarter of beef or one medium sized pig. Farmers, as well as townsfolk, will find this method of preserving meat especially useful. Meat is sold in wholesale cuts only at the plant, and Anton Schneider, the butcher, will cut the meat in family size cuts, wrap and mark each package according to contents for a nominal sum. Two hundred twenty-five lockers have been installed and space has been provided for over two hundred more. The lockers are at the disposal of the customer until 9 o'clock each night, including Sundays. Widespread use of cold storage lockers may be hurting the market on canned vegetables and fruits, but it offers a great convenience to consumers. Froaen Foods for Sale Most of the better grocery stores are carrying a line of frozen vegetables, fruits, and fish, as is the Mundelein Locker service. It is possible to buy spinach, packed and frozen in small packages, or green peas, asparagus, beans and broccoli in containers, frozen berries of all kinds, as well as peaches and cherries of several varieties. The most economical way is to have a locker box and to buy frozen fruits and vegetables in institutional size packages, each time taking home the desired amount. The University of Illtnofs relates that the average family of five persons saves at least one hundred del lars in meat purchases each year that the family uses a cold storage locker. Besides, the members are fed better meat than is usually purchased in a market. After the'ffieat which is brought into the plant is. packaged, it is placed in the sharp freezer «t twenty degrees below zero where it is left from twelve to twfftty-four hour*. Then it is taken out: and placed in the consumer's locker and the latter is given the key. All meats are preserved perfectly for one year when the temperature is kept at sero. For poultrymen and farmers it is often convenient to kill several chickens at once; in this way they can be killed at the right weight, preserving the quality and saving on feed. Old chickens have a better flavor and are more tender after being quickly frozen. The slogan is, "Better living at lower costs with a cold storage Itocker." MURRAY DIBBT IN CHICAGO JANUARY 2 John R.
