MYRTLE WHIPPLE Rogue River-Easter was ob served by all the churches of Rogue River. A sunrise serv ice was held at the Assembly of God church with the pastor of the Church of God and Presbyterian taking part at 6:30 a.m. The Prebytersian church held two services, one at 9:45 and the other at 11 o'clock. The Church of God held its services at 11 o'clock. Washington (DPD P.resi- dent Eisenhower has signed legislation extending the Se lective Service law until July 1, 1963. Below, in question and sanswer form, are vital facts about the draft and how it affects young men. Q. Who must register for the draft? A. Every young man within five days after his 18th birth day. The only exceptions are servicemen already on active duty, foreign diplomats and a few other special types of aliens. There are severe pen alties for failure to register. , Q. Where do you register? A. At your local Selective Service board. You must also notify this board each time you change your address and -whenever there is any change in your status that might affect your draft liability. Q. When does a registrant become liable for call to mili tary service? Avrag Age About 22Vi A. Theoretically at 18V& years of age. Actually, no one is ever drafted before 19, and the average age of induction is about 22i. Q. At what age do you be come draft-proof? A. For all practical pur poses at age 26. In theory, anyone who gets a deferment before reaching 26 becomes liable for call-up until age 35. But this is a technicality which is meaningless short of total mobilization, since men over 26 are at the bottom of the list of priorities for induc tion. Q. What are the chances of getting through to age 26 without military service? . A. Government studies show that approximately 55 youths out of 100 - slightly more than half will see mili tary duty before- reaching 26. Not All Drafted Q. Are all of those who go into uniform drafted? A. No, draft inductions ac count for only one-fifth of the new manpower which comes into the services each year. Most youne men prefer to sign up for one of the 34 vol untary enlistment' programs offered by the armed forces rather than wait to be drafted Q. What are these enlist ment programs? A. They offer youths a wide variety of alternatives-from six-months active duty train ing, followed by several years in the drilling reserve to a full four-year hitch as a serv ice regular. An official pam phlet giving all details can be obtained by writing to: "It's Your Choice," Washing ton, 25, D. C. That's all the address you need. Q. What happens to the 45 young men out of every 100 who do not see military serv ice? A. Many of them (about 33 out of 100) are found physical ly or mentally disqualified for service. The remaining 12 out of 100 ace deferred or ex empted for various reasons. Q. What sort of reasons? A. Because they are going to. school or working at an essential job; because they have families to support; be cause they are ministers-, di vinity, students, congressmen or state legislators, conscien tious objectors, or members of a few other groups specifical ly covered by the law. Q. Are high school students ever drafted? A. They are automatically deferred until they graduate, quit school or reach age 20. Washington School Washington school was the scene of a "Safety Panorama" Wednesday afternoon, March 3. First grade students stress ed the important rules of playground safety. Second graders illustrated the plight of "Nit-Wits" who do not observe safety rules in the home. ' , Third grade students dem onstrated proper procedure for crossing streets and re viewed other good rules to use in going to and from school. , - Fourth graders recited bi cycle rules as told by Mr. Bicycle himself. Fifth graders acted out the predicament ,of the foolish fisherman and careless hunt er. Special room students dem onstrated proper conduct in boarding and riding a school bus. Sixth grade students proved that safety can be fun, when a group of clowns showed the dangers of carelessness in sports. Through verse, song, narra tion and demonstration, the principles of -safe living as taught through the year, were reviewed. The University of Minneso ta football stadium tan accom odate about. 66,000 ' persons, and its indoor basketball are na can take . care . of about 19,999, the latter a Midwest record. Q. What about college stu dents? A. Very liberal deferments are available to college stu dents. Any student who has a respectable class standing or who makes a passing score on the Selective Service college qualification test which is giv en annually can be confident of being deferred until he graduates. Deferments also are granted for law, medical and other graduate students who have good academic rec ords. Q- To whom are occupation al deferments granted? 1 A. To those who are per forming "essential" jobs. The rules are complicated and the best way to get details is from your local draft board. Gen erally speaking, any youth who embarks on' a career in teaching, science, or engineer ing can count on getting an occupational' deferment. May Extend Deferment Q. Is a deferment merely a temporary reprieve from the draft? A. Theoretically, yes. De ferments, are usually granted for one year at the time, or even less. But if you continue the work or the studies that made' you eligible for defer ment, it is quite possible to keep getting one deferment' after another until you reach 26. .. Q. Can a young man avoid the draft by getting married? A. Husbands as such have no special draft status. But fathers are automatically placed at the .bottom of the 1-A manpower, barrel which means that they become, for all practical purposes, draft-exempt.
