FREE ESTIMATES Record Increase' In Eligible Voters Number of Illinois citizens of voting age has increased by 157,000, or 2.7 percent, since 1948. This figure is from a recent estimate (of the Bureau of the Census, according to C. L. Folse, asst. professor of rural sociology at the University at Illinois. In the 1948 presidential election there were an estimated 5,810,000 persons 21 years of ago and over in the state. The estimate for this November is placed at 5,967,000 In 1948, 3,984,046 votes were cast in Illinois for presidential electors. This vote represented 68.6 percent of the eligible population of voting age. This proportion was exceeded only by Utah, where 73.3 percent of the eligible persons voted. Age date are not available for the breakdown between farm and city people. However, it is thought that Illinois farm families vote in about the same proportions as the rest of tho state's population. The present activities of many organizations and agencies in the state to get out the vote for the coming election could easily result in Illinois occupying first place among the state in proportion of eligible citizens voting. Folse believes. Although there has been an increase of 157,000 persons over 21 years of age, it does not mean that all of them are eligible to vote, according to the rural sociologist. Persons of voting age must meet the state laws for registration before they are eligible to vote. However, under the permanent registration laws, there is little reason why all persons of voting age shguld not tti registered.

USE NEW METHOCFf > 5 FOR DETERMINING}' • FARM DEFERMENTS A new method of estimating the productiveness of individual farm workers has been announced by Col. Paul G. Armstrong, Illinois Selective Service director. "We are now able to determine on the basis of actual production, whether or not a farmer merits deferment from military service," Colonel Armstrong said. The new plan uses "work units" to indicate the amount of labor required to produce a "given quantity of farm products One unit equals one man's labor for a ten-hour day. For example, it takes .022 work units to produce a bushel of corn and .18 units to produce 100 pounds of milk. Similar Unit values have I been set up by Selective Service !in conjunction with the Illinois agriculture mobilization committee, for all the major crops and livestock. No farm worker will be considered for deferment unless he performs at . least a minimum number of work units per year. Colonel Armstrong said. The required minimum will be determined by <the local board in each county after consultation with the _ county agricultural mobili zation committee. It was emphasized that the basic qualifications for farm deferments remain Unchanged. They are: (1) The fai:m must produce a substantial quantity of commodities for market (it must not be merely a "subsistence farm"); I00KS LIKE MILK FEEDS LIKE MILK HALF THE COST F MILK FEEDING n u t b AJi HIGHLAND'S I-NUTRA CMMINS IMPORTANT ANTIII0TIC T K R R A M Y C I N MAKU CAlVfS MOW FAITH WtTM LUi tCOUMINO It POUND MfTAl PAIl COSTS ONLY $480 DR.MIDWEUS S E N N A L A X A T I V E CMtoin*<l in plwwrt laiHm Synip P*p«ln I SVAIANTIED TO SATISFY I O* MOMIY BACK! } McHENRY MILLS I PHONE 115 (2) "foe Worker must be employed full-time except for seasonal interruptions; (3) He must be irreplaceable; and (4- His removal would seriously impair the farm's effectiveness. The new plan for measuring farm labor requirements was adopted pursuant to orders from the president designed' to safeguard agricultural production while at the same time providing needed men for the defense forces. Colonel Armstrong quoied the president's statement that, "These orders do not permit permanent exemption of any worker from Selective Service. Rather, they provide a moie orderly basis for granting the t e m p o r a r y d e f e r m e n t s w h i c h local boards have customarily extended to qualified individuals." The plan has the ynanimous endorsement of the Illinois agricultural mobilization committee which includes representatives of th|B U.S. Department of Agriculture.
