Work Cards For Students For Restricted Occupations
Ottawa April 27 Elliott M Little director of national selective service announced permits to work in restricted industries would be issued to students for the duration of their school college or university holidays. Explanatory notes for selective service officers outline how different age groups and classifications apply for permits. Students employed in munition work will be directed there rather than win a permit to enter a restricted occupation. A farm student would not receive a permit if his help on the farm is needed but could receive one if refusal would bar employment. No permit needed for young men under 21 doing casual work after school or on holidays during terms as long as they attend day school. Generally permits will not exceed six months. Part time work subsidiary to regular jobs does not require a permit. The labor situation will be considered in all applications to determine necessity.
