JIM HOGG COUNTY
SELECTIVE BOARDS
CLASSIFIED 345 MEN
With 272,006 Selective Service
registrants classified by Texas 351
local boards as of April 1, on the
basis of their availability for military
service, only 527 appeals had been
made to Selective Service boards of
appeal, and only one request for ad-
judication of decision had been sub-
mitted to the President, it was an-
nounced by General J. Watt Page,
State Director of Selective Service.
Out of 845 classified men in Jim
Hogg County only 1 has appealed.
“This is a splendid record for our
State,” General Page declared when
mstkng the announcement. He sad.
"It a a record that speaks hghly
for the wok of the patriotic citizens
who are serving without pay as menv
bers of Selective Service boards and
as examiners and advisors, and also
to the credit of our State as a whole
It is more heartening to all Ameri-
cans to know that this spirit of co
operation for National Defense pre-
vails throughout the country, for
according to information from Na-
tional Headquarters, more than 4,-
000,000 registrants now have been
classified with only a comparatively
infinitesimal number of appeals from
the decisions of Selective Service
bords.”
At the same time, General Page
said, the Selective Service System is
anxious to make certain that all
registrants, their dependents and
others interested in their welfare,
have opportunity to obtain review of
any classification they consider un-
just,
"There is an obligation.” he said,
“upon all members of the Selectvie
Service System who come in contact
with the registrant to make certain
that he understands, not alone that
he has the privilege of appeal hut
also when he must do it and how he
must do it. We cannot afford to
pemit registrants who want to appeal
to lose their opportunity simply be-
cause they do not understand the
what, when and how of so doing.
While we do not want the appeal
machinery clogged up with claims of
those who merely seek to delay their
induction, it is equally important
that no regstrant be inducted until
he has had ample opportunity to ex-
ercise all his legal rights.”
Any registrant, or his dependents
or others interested in his welfare,
General Page said, can obtain full
information concerning his right to
appeal a classification by consulting
his local board, government appeal
agent, or advisory board for regis-
trants.

Meats
★ Properly cooked, meats have been shown by
seientists to contain representative proportions of
the priceless Vitamin B group—thiamine (Vitamin
Bl), riboflavin (Vitamin B2), and the anti-pel-
lagra vitamin.
★ The first requirement for preserving vitamins is,
proper cooking. Old-fashioned, uncontrollable
roasting dried out meats and drained away the
health-giving substance. Modern CP Cookery is
scientifically controlled at low temperatures to
reduce meat shrinkage and save the food values for
the benefit of yourself and loved ones.
★ Meats are healthful—healthfully prepared the
CP way! Give your family the protection of mod-
ern, scientific CP Cookery.
★ See the new CP Ranges on your next shopping
trip!
