It is difficult in these days of mul- titudinoas duties of patriotism to de- cide just which shall receive first at- tention. The danger is that the indi- vidual will so dissipate his endeavor over the whole field that there will 'be no worth while result. Everyone has certain talent or lack of talent for some particular sort of work. Tt is this quality which should decide what one undertakes to do, not the relative merit or convenience, or pleasantness, or associations of the various kinds of work. oe Many women, for instance, volun- teer to sew when they have no ability in the art of the seamstress. Many engage to knit when they are too lit- tle skilled to produce an acceptable garment. Some undertake the surgi- cal dressings who are by nature in- accurate, who do not appreciate the need for perfection, cleanliness, and exactness in the .work which. they volunteer to do. The fact that the work is volun-| teer work, that workers are very gen- erally sensitive to criticisms and un- aware of their inability to do 'satis factory work, makes it upon those who are in charge to ex- | ercise a high order of tact and' judg- | ment that there be no offense to the | worker nor impairment of the.quality of the work. turned out from'the or- ganization. In order to lessen the quantity of | unsatisfactory work and to increase | the effectiveness of the efforts of the women it is needful that all workers take a careful inventory of their powers and offer their services for the work which they can do best. ep Why We Fight. "You are called intq this great service of your country not only for the purposé of maintaining the ideals for which America has always stood --democracy and freedom, and to]. keep the torch of Liberty burning throughout the world--but also for this more immediate object, the pro- tection of our national rights and the democratic institutions handed down to us as the result of the valor | : Those | are the things for which "you fight."

The term "deferred classifica- tion" as used in these regulations is equivalent to the term "temporary discharge." : . Exemption Not Mandatory. Section 4 of the selective service law exempts no person from military service on the ground of dependency. It only. authorizes the exclusion or discharge from draft of "those in a status with respect to persons de- pendent upon them for support which renders their exclusion or discharge advisable." The present scheme is designed, by the creation of several ciasses arranged in the order of their availability for military service, to defer the induction into the army of registrants upon whom other persons are mainly dependent for support un- til persons without actual dependents have been called. While an actual dependency must be established be- fore any kind of discharge can be granted, there are certain conditions of dependency which it is advisable to recognize to a fuller extent than others." The present classification is designed to afford the maximum pro- tection to dependent relatives con- sistent with the military necessity of the nation.'t Its to be recognized that war must bring inconvenience and sacrifice to all: - No person has a right to refuse to sacrifice luxuries. .On the. other hand, it is not the intent of. the law to deprive the dependents whom the law and regulations are .designed to protect of a reasonably adequate sup- port: No definite: degree can be given to the meaning of the term "reason- ably adequate support" as used in the classification rules and schedule. The adjustment of these relations must be left to local boards - who have abun- dantly shown tHat they will.approach each case with; sympathy and com- mon sense.and, while defending the interest of thé nation from selfish and thoughtless; claimants on the one hand, will afford the decent protec- claimants on the other.
