MARRIED MEN IN FEBRUARY CALL-UP Western Ontario To Contribute 1400 Men In February. 19-Year-Olds Will Be In The List Western Ontario will be called upon to contribute about 1,400 men for compulsory military training during February. Call-up quotas have rang- ed around this figure for the past four months. • Married men in the 19 to 25-year-old age brackets will form a portion of next month's call-up, as well as men who have just turned 19 and univer- sity students who have failed to make .passing grades in their studies. There is some possibility that'll sup- plementary quota will be added to the February call-up. These additional quotas have been added during the past two months to equalize slight shortages in previous months. While there has been no official comment as to how long the supply of eligible married men from 19 to 25 will last in this division, indications are that a call-up extension to other classes may be in the offing. The supply of men up to 25 years who were married prior to July, 1940, is said to be definitely limited. A recent announcement from Ottawa that the draft of 18-year-olds was not in prospect points to the possibility that married men over 25 years will form the next group slated for call-up.
