Vacancies For 3-A
Men in Officers
Training School
Mrs. Alva McCoy, clerk of Cass
County Local Board has been in-
formed that there are vacancies for
registrants now classified in 1II-A
for training for commissions in the
following named branches of ser-
vice: antiaircraft artillery, coast
artillery, ordnance, signal, military
police, tank destroyer and armored
force.
It is requested that this matter
be brought to the attention of the
registrants of this, board who are
in III-A in order that they may
make application for authority to
be inducted as a volunteer officer
candidate and sent to the school
of their choice.
It is also desired that the colored
registrants of your board be given
the same opportunity to make ap-
plication for this training. This
matter is covered in National
Headquarters Memorandum 1-394,
and all local boards are requested
to give as much publicity as pos- [
sible to this matter in order that
those who meet the qualifications
and desire to take advantage of the
opportunity may do so.
v
Volunteers Must Get
Release From Local
Draft Boards
Selective Service registrants de-
siring to enlist in the Navy, Marine
Corps or Coast Guard must first
obtain a statement from their local
board certifying that they are "not
now classified in Class y-A, II-B,
or III-B, nor entitled to such clas-
sification by reason of being neces-
sary men'engaged in dairy, live-
stock or poultry farm production,"
according to a memorandum issued
today by the state director of se-
lective service to all local Boards.
Lt. Commander J. P. Crowder,!
Navy Liaison Officer for the Texas]
Selective Service System, pointed
out that heretofore a registrant de-
siring to enlist in the Navy did
not need a release from his local'
board to do so if he was classified!
as 1-A, or was an officer candidate j
or aviation cadet.
"He is not now required to obtain j
a release from his local board,, but
must furnish the statement of clas- ,
sification which entitles him to be I
accepted by the Navy up until the i
time of his actual induction," Com-
mander Crowder stated.
It is noted in the State Direc-
tor's memorandum that the Army
requires a release from the local
board stating that the registrant
has not been ordered for induction
and will not be so ordered within
one week, while the Navy requires
only the statement of classification.
Quoting further from the direc-
tive:
"As long as voluntary enlistment
is permitted by the Armed Forces,
it is of utmost importance that
board members and patricularly
board clerks of the Selective Ser-
vice System, give impartial and
correct information to registrants
who may inquire regarding their
right to enlist and there should be
no hesitancy in issuing the state-
ment required by the Naval Re-
cruiting Services, provided the reg-
istrant is entitled thereto, since the
Navy, Marine Corps and Coast
Guard can enlist a registrant at
any time prior to induction with-
out clearance from the local board
except as required hereinabove."

Pension Checks Cut
$1 Per Individual
The State Department of Public
Welfare has announced that a flat
cut of $1 will be made in each Old
Age Assistance grant when checks
are written in November. An esti-
mated 182,000 aged persons will be
affected. The notice to be mailed
with each old age assistance check
states:
"Effective November, 1942,
and until further notice, your
Old Age Assistance check will
be for $1 less than your certi-
fied grant. The monthly cost of
old age assistance is now in ex-
cess of income. Under the law
eligible applicants must continue
to be added to the rolls, which
will make less money per recip-
ient.
"The Welfare Department has
no control over its income. Old
Age Assistance financing pro-
visions are set by law. State
law provides an appropriation of
$1,750,000 monthly in the Old
Age Assistance Fund. All money
now being disbursed in excess of
this amount comes from federal
grants to the state."
Since the state waived consider-
ation of the ability of relatives to
support aged applicants, the rolls
have made a net gain from 122,059
in January, 1941, to the estimated
182,000 now eligible. A small per-
centage of these were not being
supported by relatives when eli-
1 gibility was established. This group
has added approximately $1,200,000
per month to the cost of Old Age
Assistance in Texas. The rolls and
Clothing Merchants
Asked to Consult
County Board
Merchants who sell clothing were
advised by A. J. Nelson, chairman
of the Cass County War Price and
Rationing Board that his office
now has a quantity ot pamphlets
explaining how to set ceiling prices
for men's and boys' tailored gar-
ments and staple work clothing.
"A quantity of these pamphlets
is now available for any merchant
who will come by the office," Mr.
Nelson said, "and the pricing of
these articles of clothing is ex-
plained in a very clear manner."
It is important that every mer-
chant in the county have one of
these pamphlets for a reference
in his store. One of the pamphlets
deals with Maximum Price Regu-
lation No. 177. governing the prices
for men's and boys' tailored gar-
ments such as suits with short
pants, suits with knicker or golf
pants, suits with long pants, and
suits with breeches; separate
coats, including sport coats, slack
coats, and blouses made in the
.manner commonly used for coats,
separate vests, ceremonial and re-
ligious vestments, topcoats and ov-
ercoats.
The other pamphlet deals with
Maximum Price Regulation No.
308, governing the price of staple
work clothing such as bib over-
alls or dungarees, work shirts
and pants, one-piece work suits and
work breeches, and such work
clothing materials as denims, card-
ed yarn shirting chambrays and
coverts; finished jeans and drills,
and twills.
