C, Thursday, August 10, 1950 Number 32 v* t > * V DRAFT POLICY EXPLAINED BY SELECTIVE SERVICE Officials Answer Ques tions and Cite Regula tions Affecting 19-25 Group Subject to Call. —♦— Washington, Aug. 5—Worried whe ther the draft might yanX the boy out of school? Or whether you yourself can get a defermeht? Nobody can tell you for sure what will happen. But Selective service officials say this is the policy, laid down partly in laws and partly in regulations: Only persons in the IS through 25 age group can be drafted now, al though 18-year-olds must register. If you are in the right age bracket and have a job, it’s up to your local draft board to decide whether your type of work is of the kind and infportance to warrant a deferment. The board is supposed to defer any one whose employment or occupation “is found to be necessary to the main tenance of national nealth, safety, or interests.” Nobody is giving the board yet a definite list of jobs the government considers vital. So the board is on its own to a large extent, and it has pretty wide discretion. The commerce and labor depart ment have given the armed services lists of critical occupations to use a‘ guide in calling up national guard. But selective service shows little in terest in such lists. After all, its job isn’t to see that business has enough manpower, but that the armed ser vices do. Still, selective service might get around later on to using job lists. It had them during World War II, although only for purposes of advis ing draft boards. Either you or your boss can ask for a deferment because of the nature of your job. And the board has to be convinced you_can’t be replaced and that putting you in uniform would mean “a material loss of effective ness" in the activity in which you are engaged. Suppose you boy is going to school and is eligible for the draft. He can stay in high school until he graduates reaches his 20th birthday, or fails to do satisfactory work. If the draft board thinks he is trying to flunk so he can stay in school longer, it can draft him. A lad who gets a draft call while in college can finish out the academ ic year. Or if he is taking senior ROTC —reserve officers training—in his last two years, he can stay in school if he agrees to take a commission when he is through and remain on active duty at least two years. Or the draft board can defer him if it decides it would serve the nat ional health, safety or interest for him to complete his course. Medical or scientific students for instance, might get deferments. What if the army gets the boy be fore he is through college? Is the government going to finance his schooling after he gets out of ser vice? It did for World War II veterans. And bills are pending in congress to extend educational and other bene fits of the GI Bill of Rights to per sons called into service because of the Korean war and troubled world conditions. So far the bills haven't gone far. Perhaps the boy is a member of the reserves or national guard and is now taking GI training as a re sult of service in the last war. If he is called into service again, or if he volunteers, he can come back and resume his schooling at any time be fore July 25, 1956.

The business tempo becomes faster and faster whether you are on the production line, in the office, or part of manage ment. Today’s social responsibilities find men burning the candle at both ends. Hot and cold wars help keep men nervous and jittery. The result: a civilization “on the go” of impatient, tense persons, characterized by hy pertensions, ulcers, insominia, a high divorce rate, delinquency, and crime. Have you too become touchy anc' sensitive about little things? Have family quarrels grown out of pro portion to the incident? Do business associates make you irritable? Are headaches bothering you? Chances are, then, you too have forgotten how to relax. My long years of active life have taught me that, if you are to survive, you will have to learn how to conserve and utilize econ omically your own physical and men tal resources. You owe it not only to yourself and your family, but to your country. A healthy, vigorous, emo tionally well-balanced stock is espe cially essential to the democratic stead they immerse themselves in more work or seek escape through overstimulating commercial amuse ments, or liquor. No matter what a man’s goal may be—money, profes sional advancement, social prestige, or tohat have you—he must take time out periodically to restore body tonus. Too many American businessmen are tense, headachy, and hurried, be lieving that if they are to obtain their i goals, they cannot take time out for quiet diversion. These individuals will not live long! They are “selling themselves for a mess of pottage”. 1 What most of these overworked peo ple don’t realize is that they could easily accomplish 50 percent better results if they would learn how to relax through regular periods of constructive body-mind-soul refresh ment. Maximum Output ' Too few business leaders have concerned themselves with their own problems of prevention of psycho physical breakdown and increasing their own physical stamina, particu larly those over Forty. It is not my purpose to prescribe a course of ac tion for such individuals. I shall be satisfied if I have made them aware of their own needs. They owe it to the concern for which they work. Nerves! Nerves! - Nerves! * “Relax and quit worrying, it’s just your nerves,” is not Ve ry helpful advice to a nervous sick person. Such individuals need help for they are really sick and their sickness DOES HAVE A CAUSE. The problem is one of deep seated and constant ner\ous tension caused by an irritation of the nerve roots leading from the spine. Though nothing may seem wrong organically, the proper X-rays and other tests will reveal this condition, when an especially trained technician makes an examination. Only when the cause of this irritation is removed can a per son relax and quit worrying. Un til then, the individual is sick. mentally and physically. Such illness will eventually lead to real organic disturbances in most cases. Nature is constantly making an effort to relieve this pressure and sometimes through a pro longed rest or change of clim ate does accomplish it. The most efficient and satis factory way is to have a thor ough examination by Dr. Hart, who has had wide experience in correcting nervous disorders. Dr. C. J.
