SCHOOL HONORS SEVENTY
Patriotic Programme Planned for I
Xext Thursday at 2 and 8.
A patriotic programme will be given
by the graduating class for the Junior
Red Cross Auxiliary m the assembly
hall of the Central School Thursday
at 2 P. M. and 8 P. M.
In the evening the service flag, con
taining 70 stars for former students of
the Central School, who are now in
some department of the country's serv
ice, will be unveiled.
Seven of 11 class 1 registrants ex
amined yesterday for exemption board
No. 9 were found qualified for military
service. An eighth may be so classed,
having been held for further examination.
The result of this examination puts
new, aspect upon possibilities of the
I draft in sifting out men for the United
States Army. Of 24 men previously
examined for board No. 9, only five, or
Must above 20 per cent, had been found
physically fitted for duty. Draft offi
cials had begun to speculate over the
possibilities by such a proportion of
physical unfitness, particularly in view
of the fact that the number of class 1
men for Oregon is estimated at HtUo
more than 10,000.
Few Found Physically Unfit.
Further optimism relative to sturdy
physical condition of registrants was
brought out by reports from iJr. Hunter
I Wells, on 29 examinations of Ispruce
division and ordnance class applicants.
He found only three of the 29 appli-
I cants for Induction into the Army dis
qualified, 26 being found physically fit.
few of them splendid specimens of
manhood.
One rugged citizen. Shepherd by
name and a resident in Portland divi
sion No. 2. especially commended him
self to the physician, both because of
his fitness and his wish to get to the
trenches at the earliest opportunity.
I Mr. Shepherd lacks but a fraction of an
inch of being six feet tall and weighs
1178 pounds. He has waived all claim
to exemption. His wife patriotically
I acquiesced in his determination to "set
in the front ranks."
More Registrants Summoned.
Dr. Canfield's report yesterday for
Board No. 9 showed but one registrant
wholly disqualified for military duty.
Two of the 11 men examined yesterday
were designated for special military
service. One is fitted to serve as a
telegraph operator, another as a machinist.
Disabilities which are most frequently
I putting Class I men off the active
military list and into the limited serv
ice group, the physicians say, are de
fective eyesight, old injuries and vari-
I com; veins.
The Government now offers free sur
gical treatment and hospital care for
such Class I registrants as would be
put in good physical trim by elimina
tion of minor defects.
This week, it is expected, several of
the Multnomah Qpunty boards will be
gin examination of men for the draft.
Board No. 7 has called its first con
tingent for the tests. These are to re-
I port on Wednesday.
