UNCLE SAM'S
SELECTIVE
SERVICE
(Editor's note: Below is on®
installment of a series of question*
and answers on the second peace-
time military training program.
It has been prepared under the
direction of the Texas Director of
Selective Service, Maj. Gen. K. L.
Berry.)
EXEMPTIONS AND
DEFERMENTS - Serie* 3
1. (j. Will a man with a wi fe.
or wife and children, be deferred?
A. If a man maintains a bona
fide relationship with them in him
home, the President orders his
deferment.
2. Q. Is a man who has per-
sons dependent upon him for sup-
port exempt from training and
service ?
A. The President has ruled un-
der the law that he will be de-
ferred. Dependents are defined as
a wife, child, parent, grandparent,
brother or sister, a person IS
years of age (or older, if the per-
son is physically or mentally hand-
icapped; in short, anyone who de-
pends on the draft-age man for a
living or financial help.
3. Q. How about a high school
student who is ordered to report
for induction?
A. If the facts are presented to
his local board, his induction will
be postponed until his graduation,
or until he is 20 years old. or until
he ceases to pass his courses satis-
factorily, whichever is the earlier.
4. Q. Can the induction of a
college student be postponed?
A. Yes, if at the time he is
ordered to report for induction he
is satisfactorily pursuing a full-
time course of instruction. His in.
duction can be postponed until the
end of his school year if he roa-
tinues to pass his courses.
5. Q. What about conscientiom
objectors ?
A. They can be assigned to non-
combatant service if inducted. IF
they are conscientiously opposed
to non-combatant service, they will
be deferred.
fi. Q. Who decides whether a
man is a conscientious objector or
not ?
A. His local board.
7. What if the board does not
sustain his claim? Has he any
appeal?
A. Yes. He can appeal to the
state appeal board. The Depart-
ment of Justice will hold an in-
<|uiry and hearing. The appeal
board makes the decision
8. Q. Just what constitutes
conscientious objector ?
A. A conscientious objector un-
der the law is a person who by
reason of religious training and
belief is conscientiously opposed t®
war in any form. Such an indivi-
dual believes duties superior to
'those arising -from (^iny human
relation, but does not include es-
sentially political, sociological, or
philosophical views, or a merely
persona! mora! code.
9. Q, Can the sole surviving son
of a family be inducted?
A. If one or more sons or
daughters of a family were killed
in action or died in line of duty
while serving in the armed forces
of the U. S., or subsequently died
as a result of injuries received or
disease incurred during such ser-
vice, the sole surviving son can-
not be inducted.
SIDELIGHT GIVEN
ON PUBLIC HEALTH
AUSTIN, Tex.—An interesting"
sidelight on public health in Texas
was revealed in the morbidity re-
port of the Texas iState Depart-
ment of Health for the week end-
ing August 28th, which showed a
total of 2 cases of smallpox for
this year, while in the same period
there were 588 cases of diphtheria.
Commenting on these compar-
ative figures. Dr. Geo. W. fCox,
State Health Officer stated tbat
diphtheria is as readily controlled
by immunization as is smallpox,
but that apparently the pnVLii has
failed to recognize this fact, ot
to act upon it.
Smallpox, which is highly con-
tagious, is no longer considered a
major health problem in Texas.*
Dr. Cox said, "and this is due to
widespread vaccination against the
disease. Diphtheria, equally con-
tagious, can also be reduced to the
point where a single case is a
rarity, but only when parents a-
waki to the fact that every child
should be immunized in infancy.
The baby's doctor will recommend
when this shoud be done, and it
all children were given this pro-
tection, there would be none
ceptihle to contract thi
disease.
Ordinarily the immunity pr 'V
ed by dinhtherin toxoid „
child until he is of school age,
however a Schick test should be
given before the child enters
school. If needed, an additional
shot of toxoid should lie adminis-
tered .
"When all children are routine-
ly immunized against this dreaded
disease, it can be virtually eli-
minated as the health hazard that
it now is, to the boys nd girts
of Texa.-", Dr. Cox declared.
