Delta county residents have
been affected but little by the
drive to sell defense bonds and ,
stamps and only $131.35 worth of
the government securities were
sold during the month of July at j
the local post office. Of this |
amount $56.25 was in bonds and |
$75.10 was in defense savings |
stamps.
Other departments of the post
office business showed increase,
Wilbur Hart, postmaster, said.
Stamp sales totaled $983.54 an
increase over the 909.10 of July
1240. Through the first seven
months of the year stamp sales
have amounted to $7,594.78 for
an increase of $1,250 over the
same period of 1940. This is a
percentage increase of 16 per
cent. v

Due to excessive rains at plant-

said.

clared. Each man will have his

board will consider his classifica-
tion and no local board can class-

his number is reached, except in
case of volunteers he said.
The second national lottery
served as a guide for every local
board to integrate its new regis-
trants among those who registered
last autum, and that integration
must be carried out so that the
recent registrants will consider
their classification only in a fair
and equitable ratio to those men
not yet inducted, General Page
declared.
General Page pointed out that
it was obvious that the new reg-
istrants who had received tbe rel-
atively low order numbers would
be classified sooner than those
who had received the higher num-
bers.
“I’d like tc stress the fact
again,” General Page said “that
there isn’t any difference between
the treatment of the new regis-

any respect whatsoever. They are
treated exactly alike. The same
