It has now approved of a list of partially essential (Class C) industries. Occupations under this heading are deemed to be of secondary importance to those in Class B. In this classification, it is stated it may be found that a much smaller percentage of men need be excluded from military service than in Class R, but there will be some whose removal would imperil the successful maintenance of the industry or occupation, and in proved cases such men should be exempt.
