I ) County Water Is Needed BY M. L. OUTZ COUNTY AGENT Water-water-water-It is es sential to life. In fact, the human body is 60% or more, blood plasma is 90%. The hu man body could not exist very long without it. Water is so essential in sanitation; just plain cleanliness depends so much on it. Fresh vegetables are 90% water, milk 87%, fresh fruit 85%, eggs 74%. It takes great quanities to furnish enough for just one person. But think of the amont needed in industries, etc. Actually, I believe our county can not grow to its fullest potential unless we get water into our rural areas. That is, areas that have suffi cient homes that will justify a water line. In fact, our future greatly depends on it. As I see it, our wealth is governed by it. Last week a few interested people on highway 221 south, out the South Harper Ext., Rocky Springs community, met here at the Agricultural building, together with representatives of the Farmers Home Admini stration for the purpose of mak ing a first move in those areas. John Patterson, of the local Farm Home Administration of fice, said that the government has money available at 5% in terest to water districts for rural areas. We certainl) hope that the people in these areas will get in behind this effort and see if we can get something worked out. We were told that about ten houses per mile were needed to justify a system. So, if any area in the county is interested if you w'ill call our office we will be glad to give you more details on the subject. As I said earlier, I don’t believe our county will progress very much further unless we do get in behind the situation and do everything possible to get something done about it. Let’s work together on this. Deferment Deadline Is Given Colonel Donald H. Collins, State Director ofSelectiveSer- vice for South Carolina, announced today that re gistrants wishing to drop de ferments and be reclassified into Class I-A status to take advantage of a year-end policy ann'Xinced last month by the Selective Service System, have been given until midnight, Dec ember 31, 1970, to file for the- reclassification. Such requests may be received by local boards by that date or carry a post mark dated December 31, 1970, or earlier. This announcement came as a result of instructions issued to local board personnel by Dr. Curtis W. Tarr, National Director of Selective Service. These instructions alter pre vious policy which stated that the application had to be in the hands of local board personnel prior to a December meeting of the local board. Colonel Collins stated fur ther that should a young man hold a number higher than that reached by his local board-- and No. 195 has been set as the highest number which any local board can reach--it is to his advantage to voluntarily give up his deferment for a I-A classification. In these cases, he will move to a lower draft priority group on January 1, 1971, with members of the 1970 first priority group with un reached numbers. The types of deferments affected by the decision are high school and college defer ments, occupational defer ments, agricultural defer ments, paternity and hardship deferments. The I-Y classi fication, unacceptable for military service except in national emergency, is not affected by this new policy. Men classified I-Y are not able to voluntarily drop this classification. The new policy was issued because local boards through out the country will schedule their last meetings of the year at different times. By defining a specific cutoff date, the new policy allows all registrants an equal amount of time to take advantage of the reclassi fication offer.
