At present pres-ent four teams are deadlocked for second place in Division "A": Wasatch, Sperry Juniors, Highland High-land Park, and Parleys. Wasatch clashes with Parlevs next Sat- siderable misunderstanding of the principale of occupational deferment. defer-ment. Some local government officials of-ficials have raised the question of group exemptions for local employees. em-ployees. Such group exemptions, of course, are prohibited by law. "This is covered clearly by the provisions of the Selective Training Train-ing and Service Act and Regulations. Regula-tions. These provide that a local board may defer any man who is found to be necessary to his job where the job is an activity that is productive or useful and contributes con-tributes to the well-being of the community or the Nation. Furth-more, Furth-more, it should be kept in mind that there is little probability that so many individuals would be selected sel-ected at an onye time from any one enterprise or activity as to cripple it." Pointing out that local boards must pass on individuaal cases of occupational deferment of registrants, reg-istrants, Major Rich says: "The same standards apply to a person in public service as to those in private employment. It is clearly the intention of the Congress and of the President that Selective Service be administered in such a way as to cause the least possible pos-sible disruption of the normal economy. However, each case must be determined as an individual individ-ual matter and on its merits." Major Rich suggested the fol loing procedure to employers who wish to make a "preliminary check" of employees likely to be inducted into the armed forces: "Any employer, private or public, pub-lic, who is concerned will do well to make a list of all key men who are necessary in his activity, between be-tween the ages of 21 to 36, then strike off all of those who are married and those who are physically phy-sically unfit. Then take 5 per cent of the total number. This figure should give an approximation of the number of employees who might be selected from those eligible for training during any given year under the present Act, if there are no provisions made for occupational deferment. "In light of these facts, no city, state or other g-overnment department depar-tment need suffer any loss of efficiencv through the operation of Selective Service."

Recently Recent-ly the Band was ordered to the Philippines for active service with the Marine Corps stationed n the Islands. ' urday in an interesting tilt for the second spot. PARLEYS DEFEAT SPERRY JUNIORS 21-14 The real upset of the day found Bob Brower of Parleys playing almost flawless ball to upset Sperry's Sper-ry's Parley tallied the ball on both backboards, intercepting passes, and broke down the floor with confusing speed.
