New Law Approves
Immediate Calling
Of 'Teen Age Boys
President Roosevelt has signed
.he new law providing for the draft-
"ins of 18 and 19 year old Iboys for
active military service at once.
H4forts to pass an amendment re-
quiring at" least a year of training
before these boys could be put into
aactive .combat failed, as the adminis-
£Tatibn said such a provision would
:hamper the entire war effort.
An attempt was made to change
'the regulations governing farm
workers. Such attempts fai]ed. No
change was made in the regulations
now in effect directing local draft
boards to defer necessary farm
workers as long as they rema:n on
the farm and until satisfactory re-
placements can be obtained.
Many of the boys affected by the
new law will come from schools and
colleges and attendances at such
schools will not win deferments for

John Moses in a letter to Leon Hen-

the longer distances that North

which do not exist or are of minor

Son of Golva Resident
Off to Help Fight
Japs at Tokyo
The following war time stoCF
printed in the Daily Argus-Leadtff
Sioux Falls, S. D., will no doubt;
have considerable local interest, in-
asmuch as Ed. Zimmer, a former
Golden Valley boy, is the son of M,
J. Zimmer of the Golva community,
who may well feel proud of his fam-
ily of sons now in the armed:
services:
"Closed Un¢il We Get Back From
Tokyo."
That sign, in huge letters across
the front of his establishment, tells
the world that Zimmer's service, 204
North Dakota ave., has suspended
for the duration, while Edgar (Ed)
Zimmer, 35, serves in the United
States navy as maintenance me-
chanic in the motor torpedo-boat
division.
Ed is following nine of his em-
ployees into the military service.
This gives his concern, which nor-
mally has a maximum payroll of 12,
a otal of 10 doing their bit for
Uncle Sam.
"With all those boys in there
serving Uncle 'Sam," he said, "I
decided it was about time for me to
join, too. The services have been
appealing far mechanics and I fig-
ured it would be about the best
place for me to do wh I could for
the war effort."
So, he took a trip to Minneapolis
the other day and conferred with the
navy recruiting official there about
joining he motor torpedo boat
Zimmer turned e key tn hi4
front door Monday, as far as hill
regular business is concerned, and
thus took a holiday from a big
clientele who depended on him for
auto rebuilding, axle alignment,
body painting and similar services.
Instead of rebuilding wTecked
cars, says Ed, he hoped to help
wreck a few Jap boats, and he will
drop his axle alignment chores in
an effort to put the axis out of line.
Body painting will be supplanted by

----expected to yield a net of some
275,000 physically fit---can not be
tassified immediately.
Regulations for their classification
are to be issued by the president
and may-provlde specific registra-
tion dates or provide that each
