Rofary Foundation Fellow Speaks at Meeting in Medford Life in Scotland and England is frugal iSut the holidays well celebrated, according to a talk given by Nick Kirkmire, of Eugene, Rotary Foundation fel low, yesterday noon at the Med ford Rotary club. " High government taxes dis courage anyone from earning more than $3,000 a year, Kirk mire told the local Rotarians. A man he met told him he earned $71,000 one year and after taxes had $5,000 left. A package of cigarettes there cost 60 cents each, and the tax per gallon on U.S. gasoline is 28 cents, he said. However, New Years is cele brated well in Scotland. As soon as Big Ben in the London tower strikes midnight on New Year's Eve a round of visiting starts. This last until midnight the next day. Graduate of OSC Kirkmire graduated from Ore gon State college with a degree in forestry jf)n his fellowship h studied in the University of Scotland at Aberdeen, Scotland, where he took postgraduate work in forestry. Following this he made a tour of Europe and returned to the United States five weeks ago. Life of a student is very plain tie told Rotarians. Students live with families, mainly widows. r"he houses are large stone struc tures with beds in every room. According to the terms of his fellowship, Kirkmire must visit trie various Rotary clubs in his area to give talks on his expe riences, i Yesterday's meeting was con ducted by Sharon Eichelberger, first vice president, in the ab sence of the president.

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press Correspondent Washington W About 9 o'clock each weekday morning, a messeneer pedals a bicycle 7 cart through the corridors of the Penta gon Building to del'ver a bulging sack of mail to Room 2D776.

C." , The writers receive by return mail a free 20 page pamphlet which is rapidly becoming a popular "how to" book.

The pamphlet points out that "every physically and mentally qualified man between the ages of 18V4 and 26 faces an obliga tion to perform at least six years of military service, which may be fulfilled "by various com binations of active and reserve duty." The big 'decision which confronts thousands of youths each year is whether to "volun teer and get it over with" or wait to be drafted. Smarter To Volunteer The services are telling young men that it's a lot smarter to vol unteer. If you wait to be drafted, they point out, you will have no choice of service, assignment or type of training. Virtually all draftees go into the Army to be trained as foot soldiers. They serve two years on active duty, followed by two years in the ready reserve and' two years in the standby reserve.- The ready reserve is just what the name implies. It consists of trained (or partially trained) men who can be called into active duty by the President at any time. Members are general ly required to attend weekly drill sessions and a two - week encampment each summer. The standby reserve can be called up only if Congress declares a national emergency; its members are not required to attend drills or other training activities. The youth who wants to keep Wednesday, August 7, 195T MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THHEE to pay for this privilege by serving a prolonged hitch in the ready reserve, will find a wide variety of tempting enlistment opportunities. He can, for example, sign up in the Air National Guard for only 11 weeks of active duty, followed by five years and 41 weeks in the ready reserve. Program Dealine Soon The Army National Guard offers a similar deal, open only to those in the 17 to 18V4 age bracket. But if you're interested, hurry to the recruiting office. The deadline for enlistments in the Army program is Sept. 30. The most popular "courses" are those which call for six months of active duty training, followed by periods of ready re serve participation ranging from 2V4 to 72 years (depending on the service and the age of the enlistee.) This kind of "short hitch" is currently available in all of the' services except the Navy. But the Air Force has very small quotas for six-month enlistees and is "highly selec tive" of recruits. If you're not in a big rush to get your active duty behind you, you may want to sign up in the enlisted reserve, an option offered by all services except the Air Force. This calls for two years of ac tive duty same as the draft but you get the right to choose your service, a particular branch within that service, and with technical training you will re ceive. An even wider range of choice is open to the youth who will sign up for a regular enlistment minimum period: Three years in the Army, Marines or Coast Guard; four years in the Air Force or Navy . . . Some of the longer and more complex tech nical training courses are ruled out for two-year enlistees, but the "full hitch" volunteer can pick any kind of training he is mentally qualified to absorb. And what of the able - bodied, unattached young man who re sists all these blandishments? What are his chances of "sneak ing through" to age 26 without being drafted. Very slim," according to Selec tive Service officials. Draft calls during the past year have ranged from as low as 6,000 a month to as high as 17,000, with the average about 14,000. About 35 per cent of the sup posed lA's are rejected by the Army when they go up for their pre-induction physical examina tions. Others escape the draft by becoming fathers, who have a blanket deferment under pres ent regulations. Thousands each month sign up voluntarily, thus reducing the pool available for filling draft calls. At present, most draft boards are calling men out of the 22-year-old age group. Once a man has received an induction notice from his draft board it is too late to choose one of the voluntary enlistment programs. This point is heavily stressed in the Pentagon's re cruiting literature.
