bearings. One day we think we
have it, only to find fundamental
changes have come about that

All of us want to know how to
get along in the ordinary daily
routine and get the best out of
life, while rendering a full patriot-
ic duty in helping to whip the tar
out of the devils who started this
world trouble.
We ran across a little bit of ad-
vice in a corner of a midget pub-

the rope he made with it to scale

WASHINGTON, .May 4 i— The
army soon will induct a small "ex
periniental” group of selective
service registrants now deferred,
in class 1-B for minor physical
defects, it was disclosed today.
(Local draft hoards will he in-
structed to tap this reserve of man
power—estimated at 800,000 men
with defective eyesight', flat feet,
missing fingers and similar minor
ailments—shortly after June 1, a
selective service spokesman said.
The proposed calls were tenned
“experimental” because the army
plans to determine whether use of
such men is practical.
Only draft boards on the cast
coast and in the middle west will
receive first calls for 1-B men and
"we plan to take only a few from
each state,’’ it was said.
