WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—The War Manpower Commission today issued a revised list of critical occupations for which Selective Service Boards may grant draft deferment.
This new list raises as pulpwood and other substances from the cutting of pulpwood as well as production of pulp made from merely "essential" to a "critical" rating.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO PULPWOOD CUTTERS
If you are of draft age (26 or over) you may be deferred until all available men in both "essential" and non-essential occupations are inducted.
If you are now cutting pulpwood and have been deferred; stick to your job full-time.
If you are now in a merely "essential" occupation and want to get into "critical" pulpwood production, do so at once. Then apply to your draft board for deferment.
