Draftee Test
Being Planned
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Defense Department is consid
ering a plan under which all
youths would be given physical
and mental tests for the draft
at the age of 18, it was learned
today.
At present, the physical and
mental tests are given at the
time of induction, which aver
ages 23 years.
Defense officials said the pur
pose of the change would be to
increase voluntary enlistments
in the armed services.
They said they believed that
more youths would enlist if
they knew they were physical
ly and mentally qualified and
probably would be drafted five
years later anyway.
More than half of the poten
tial draftees now are rejected
by physical and mental tests,
but it is believed the rate of
rejections would be far smaller
if they were given to all
youths.
Enlistments already provide
by far the greater porportion
of the recruits for the Army,
Navy, Air Force and Marines.
Only the Army is using draft
ees. In 1962 there were 324,000
enlistments against 81,000 draft
inductions.
Conceivably, officials said,
enlistments could rise with fur
ther encouragement to a point
where inductions would be rare
or unnecessary.

Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
THE TERRIBLE-TEMPERED scion of an old Virginia
family got as far North as Boston on a motor trip and
dropped in for luncheon at a Boylston Street restaurant.
Near the end of his re
past he summoned the
proprietor and inquired
icily, "Tell me, my good
man: is not Boston the
place where they dumped
the tea in the harbor?"
"Of course," said the pro
prietor. "Good," nodded
the Southern gentleman.
"I suggest that you now
follow the same proce
dure with your coffee."

HOW MUCH TIME OKF FOR CHRISTMAS?
This year Christmas falls on Wednesday a calendar fact
which, as a corporation employe, you will find no cause for
rejoicing, for this means you'll proably get only a few extra
hours off before the holiday. In contrast, last year when Christ
mas fell on Tuesday, corporations the nation over closed Mon
day and millions of employes got a four-day weekend.
Wednesday is the "worst" day for this holiday. While a large
number of U.S. companies which did not have to stay open the
day before Christmas to serve the public gave employes a four-
day week-end in 1962, they're not going one bit for the five-day
deal in 1963.
The 19th annual survey of corporation holiday practices by
the Dartnell Corp. of Chicago will be released Nov. 1. A pre
view of replies by companies in 34 states and parts of Canada
indicates none will give Monday off and only 16 per cent will
give all of Tuesday off before Christmas. Most 61 per cent
will just give a half-day off on Tuesday and will reopen as usual
on inursday.
The New Year's holiday pattern will be even less relaxed.
None will give Monday off and a majority 67 per cent won't
give any time off on Tuesday either. You're not going to get
a running start into New Year s eve this year.
Of the 218 companies surveyed, only one is using this
Christmas-New Year's to grant a full-fledged vacation. SKF
Industries, Inc. of Philadelphia which reports that "a sub
stantial majority of our employes are eligible for three
weeks' vacation or more" is shutting down its plant from
Dec. 23 through Jan. 1. thus combining a one-week vacation
period with the paid holidays. ... ,
The reason for the restraint, of course, is the cost of pro
longed shutdowns at mis season. General Motors won t an
nounce its schedule until mid-December but its normal pro
cedure is to give a half-day off on Christmas and New Year's
eves. What would it cost GM to give a five-day holiday? Says a
GM spokesman queried in New York "more than $26 million
for hourly-rated employes alone." This would not Include sal
aried people or the cost of lost production or of plants closing.
Here are other trends uncovered by the Dartwell survey.
A first one which surprises me is renewed popularity for
the oft-discredited Christmas party. A majority of 63 per cent
of the companies will have Christmas parties this year, way
above 1962's total.
The feeling pro and con Christmas parties is strong. One
man, whose company held a party last year, said, "Anything
is better than a party!" Another, whose company favors the
get-together countered with, "An informal party is always
good. The employes 'let their hair down'." (SP comment:
frequently too far down for their own good.) The party season
will run more than a month begin Dec. 6 and end in mid
January. A second trend which is impressive is the continuing
clamp-down on acceptance of gifts from the outside by
employes. This year, 03 per cent of the companies checked
declared they have a No-Gift policy against 47 per cent
in 19fl2, 39 per cent the year before. Many of those who
do not prohibit the taking of gifts hy their employes put
a dollar limit on their value less than $5 or lip to $10.
Others who do not have a written ban on acceptance of
gifts discourage them under unwritten rules.
The business gift market is immense but it has leveled out.
The magazine "Incentive Merchandising" estimates that busi
ness gift spending will hit $322 million this year, less than a
1 per cent increase over 1962 s spending. The magazine Sales
Management" reports a slight decline in the number of com
panies giving gifts and a slight rise in the number of corpora
tions giving none.
P. S. On your time-off before Christmas this year, it may
be some consolation to know that companies are much more
generous than they used to be. In 1957, when Christmas last
fell on Wednesday, the number giving a full day off on Tues
day was insignificant and only 25-35 per cent gave even a
half-day off.
P.P.S.: Also as consolation, next year Christmas will fall
on Friday meaning a minimum of a three-day holiday is com
ing up.

i OUCH A PIECE OF WOOD, feel its
friendly texture, as so often a craftsman
will, observe the beauty of its grain, know
the fragrance of its scent. It is apparent at
once that it is different to all other ma
terials. It is warm, has a character and
vitality of its own. Perhaps this is because
it is an organic substance, created by the
processes of life itself, and formed of the
same such stuff as all living things includ
ing you and me.
With the help of modern research, the
range of uses ot wood is being continually
extended. Today wood fulfills for us in
numerable tasks, supplies our countless
needs. Wherever we turn, the product of
the living tree is our constant servant and
companion. Say, if you like, it has no
thoughts, nor tongue to speak, but at this
very moment it bears the message you are
reading.
Wood frames and sheathes our homes,,
furnishes the rooms, bears the fence, pro
vides the gate. It spans the stream, sup
ports the railroad, crates the goods, lifts
the loads, carries the cargoes. It is the door
of the house, the heat of the hearth, the
board of the table, the frame of the bed
and the wood of the cradle. It is the gift
of God and friend of man.
. .
CO, too, when he first built for himself
a shelter, man turned to wood. Whether
of plaited boughs or of stout logs, wood
protected him from the elements and from
his enemies. As he became civilized he
expressed much of his culture and his con
cepts in the' form of buildings of wood,
many of which have survived the passing
of centuries. In Oslo recently there was
celebrated the 1300th anniversary of a
church of timber construction even to the
pegs holding the building together. In
Japan, religious ceremonies are still held
in a temple 1100 years old. The timbered
walls of the church at Chipping Ongar,
Essex, were erected in 841 A.D. As O.D.A.
Oberg, C.M.G., a great lover of timber,
has said: "Timber is the stuff of history.
Timber kept us warm for a thousand cen
turies, saved Noah, built King Solomon's
temple, sacked Troy, symbolized our hopes
of Heaven, discovered America and Aus
tralia, made Britain mistress of the seas,
and keeps the flag flying still."
