Classification Should be Withdrawn From Men Not Engaged in Uuseful or Productive Occupations. | Washington, June 21.?Instructions j to draft boards were issued today by J Provost Marshal General Crowder ex- j plaining and amplifying the work or j fight order under which after -July 1 j all men of draft age, regardless of J their present classification must en- | gage in employment held to he pro ! duotive or join the army. "When it has been determined that a person in deferred classification is il irju.t ur is en&imuu hi nuiipiu-j ductive service." sa>s the instructions," the classification and order i number of such person will be withdrawn and he will f)e immediately inducted into the military service." Several specific rulings are made ^s to the effect of the order upon cer : tain (-losses named as nonproductive. In the case of sports and amusements, \ the language of the order is repeated j w-'th emphasis, but without mention ! ing professional baseball, an expected announcement concerning which had j ben awaited with widespread interest. \ T y.; vi:. 4.1, ? !

Chauffeurs, "public and private," are eliminated from the nonproductive c*ass unless they engage in work held ro be nonproductive in addition ff> their mechanical duties. This feature of the instructions attracted at-, tenton because it classes as useful -i : family chauffeur who performed no other service and would send him into tne army it ne aiso actea as uuuer or j handy man around the (house. The boards are directed to apply | common sense in considering with- J drawals of deferred classification; privileges and to aid registrants in ! making necessary changes in em- j ployment by furnishing lists of those j summoned for examination to the United States employment service. Use Common Sense. "Local hoards will consider cases of withdrawal of deferred classification with common sense.'' General Crowder's instructions say, and they name illness, vacation, the impossibility of securing productive employment without a change of residence as a reasonable ground for waiving the general order. While sales clerks in stores, and clerical workers in offices are classed as nonproducers. boards are directed to exempt department store executives and skilled workers attached to such estimates establishments. Traveling salesmen will be considered as engaged in productive employment, bi't automobile salesmen in cities will not, it was ex * - * 1 ^ 1 i TrO,tA n O 1 ! f_ piainea. iriium: ui feurs are held to be nonproductive only when they combine other work with their mechanical duties.

' ; When it has been determined that a person in deferred classification is an idler or is engaged in non pro- j ductive employnenf' the instructions says. The classification and order; number of such person will be with drawn, and he will immediately be I ( inducted into the military service. j "The regulations provide that per-' sons engaged in the service of food j or drink, or either, in public places, > include hotels and social clufos, are engaged in nonproductive employment.

Before the drive began and without the appeals that had been made tha .postmaster and rural cariers from Little Mountain had sold $3,51 S.00 of War Savings Stamps. That is about one-fourth of the total amount sold in Newberry county up to that time. The last report we saw from Charles+ ofntarl +>ia+ nnlir nhmit 0(10.00 LUI1 OUCLL^U. uiux wu ij u??vav -r 7 - had been sold in iXewberry county. Of course since the campaign has started the amount is a great deal larger and the limit club is growing and the small amounts are growing as well. But this without special committees appointed for the purpose speaks of the thrift and saving habit of the good people of this section of tho county which has been instilled in them from their youth up. And thesa were sold to a number of people and not to a few. In all other calls of their country they have responded nc:blv when it came to furnishing boys and buying bonds and contributing to the Red Cross. Tf we are ot mistaken we t'-.irk the people of this/community contributed something like $3600 to the Red Cross and it was stated that all the children of the school were contributing members.
