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.

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

using, with considerable success,
to woo volunteers.
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

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.
