When the person engaged in this honorable pursuit is a fellow townsman who serves during an emergency and achieves, after hard work, advancement in his field, then, more than ever, a certain glow of admiration is felt not only by relatives and friends but also by acquaintances. And so it is with a certain elation that McHenry takes note of the advancement of another of her boys in service, Vale Adams. 169 in Oasa Vale was one of 160 Illinois piths who last week were in the first class to complete their pre-flight training at Air Corps replacement training center (air crew) at Kelly Field, Texas.

In addition to DIKXOTOS tfHUU . rosuot xEiu. irrowrat Colonel Pi*ul G. Arpsfnmg, state divpetor of selaetta* s«rrk*, this waak issued a strong Jhwjl# tn all Mai boards in the state and alt argent a|H peal to all employers in llliiKiis epn* cerning the vital need at the pimaat time for producing manpowfr tor Vbm vrmed forces and for kssptng on thalf Jobs men who are absolutely tiecoaoary !n war production industries. "Eventually" he said, Mevey potential 1-A man will serve in the armed forces. However it is the war department policy that these necessary to the war production program be left on their jobs for the present and that those qualified for war production be so employed. When we reieh a point where war production levels off and when time has been had to effect replacements, then selective service can begin to take for the army these necessary men." The director repeated a recent appeal to employers engaged in war production to replace wherever possible men now employed who are fit for military duty with older men, women, men whose physical characteristics fail to meet army standards, and men with dependents who are deferred on those grounds. He ordered local boards to review the cases of every man now deferred in Class 2-A which defers men considered necessary to the public safety 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 pointed oat that the I Class 2-B deferments were designed to assure the deferment of men whose I skills are essential to war production. | The time will come in the future when I Class 2-B men who have been replaced i 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. "Local boards have done a fine job in administering selective service for peacetime training of an army," CoLl Armstrong said, "and I believe they will do'an even better job now that we are at war. The demands for manpower by both the armed forces and industries makes the present task of selective service most vitally important. It requires the best thought and judgment not only of local boards but of everyone eoeooewd"in our present mighty effort for an all-out war to destroy the Axis gang and to insure forever the safety and of America."

He hsd s keen interest in mechanics. and cars were said to be an obsession with him. He was also heard to make the remark that he would ' like to licl the Japs" so it is possible that he has either obtained a job'doing mechanical work or has somehow been accepted in some branch of the service due to his looking much older than he really is. It is also possible that he may be in Florida, as he tried in vain to get his mother's permission to tafrfr % trip there during the Christmas holidays. State Police Aid State police have spared no effort in using their broadcasting system in Illinois and also broadcasting in the southern states. When he disappeared he Was wearing a light leather jacket, brown trousers, brown oxfords aad as far as it was known,he had no money with him.
