Frederick County Draft Board Defends Agricultural Deferments
The Frederick County Selective Service Local Board defends its agricultural deferment policy noting high percentages of registrants 18 through 37 deferred in farming. Records show Frederick County exceeds state and national rates, with 187 service members added and 68 agricultural registrants removed from 1944 to 1945. The board urges no change, credits its members, and offers to provide further details or host a visiting officer to address concerns.
