About, half of these are farm operators and the other half are profession al and small business people. Of particular interest to such groups' in the Greenwood area, Miss Pressly said, are these words in Board’s report; > “Self-employed persons are of ten thought of in terins 6f well- tO-do business and professional men whose work is ‘independent/ Yet the 10 to 11.7 million persons excluded from substantially ail participation in social insurance by reason of their self-employ ment represent for the most part operators Of small fartns and stores, repair services, and the like, whose returns are small and whose ‘independence’ is largely 1 illusory.

In all other re- .pects, their need for social In surance parallels that of wage earners." Many self-employed men and! women, Miss Pressly ppinted but, have closed their businesses, be cause they were needed by war industries or because wartime conditions forced them to change ttieir way of earning a living.

December I, 1943 PAUL V, McNUTT DRAFT BOARD GIVES DEFERMENT CREDITS : FOR WOODS WORK MUHW—aatfaBimi 1 h»t—-■—— FARMERS CAN HOLD DRAFT STATUS CUTTING PULPWOOD k It is our purpose that every worker be used every available day and hour on some war-useful job. Traditionally, farm workers havt made themselves available in the off-season for pulpwood cutting, lumbering, satpuill operations and other activities. We hope that they will be available this year and that they will regard off-season work in essential activities as a wartime obligation. In order that they may transfer to war-useful work with a minimum of personal inconvenience we have taken three steps to simplify our wartime controls over manpower. These three points of simplified procedure should be known to and understood by every farm worker in America. 1. In considering agricultural workers for deferment, war unit credit for the production of essential crops — uox essential crc_ will be given for work in wood products production. Up to one-fourth of the total war units necessary may be for work in logging, lumbering, sawmill operations, and pulpwood cutting. Selective Service Local Board Memo randum No. 164 covers this point. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE REQUIRES NO RELEASE FOR PULPWOOD CUniNG M -LAX U • 3. New United States Employment Service instructions pro vide that farm workers may engage in such off-season activity without obtaining a release from the Employ ment Service office. If they continue in such employ ment for more than six weeks, the obligation to obtain necessary approval from the Employment Service rests with the employer. War Manpower Commission Field Instruction No. 89 covers this point. f in some localities other activities and occupations may take a higher priority. The local office of the U. S. Employment Service will know where off-season farm workers are most y urgently needed. These measures were taken primarily to aid the pulpwood and lumbering industries.
