EXAMINED FOR
ARMY SERVICE
Local Board Makes Coco
Progress on First Exam
nation Day in New Year

; Today about one hundred and fifty
registered men appeared in the farm
crS' room at the county court house
for physical examination by the medi-
cal board of Grand Forks county.
Drs. Irwin, OI\ccfe, J.. A.. johnson.
Wilson and Law made the examin-
alton and other members of the reg
lstration board were placed at a long
row of tables where papers were
signed, questions asked, appeals taken
out. etc.
The registration will continue until
Friday evening and by that time the
board expects to have examined in all
four hundred and fifty men. They
will not be Immediately sent to camp,
but the examination takes place now
for the purpose of ~ascertaining the
physical status of the requisite num-
her Of men SO that they can be ready
to go with the shortest possible notice
when called upon.
The men now appearing before the
medical board are chiefly those who
nave waived classitication: registrants
coming under Deferred classification
and those who have claimed appeal
will probably constitute the next con-
tingcnt Of those who will be exam
incd.
Few Arc Rejected.
1t was a noticeable feature Of the
days examination that a very small
percentage of mon were rejected be.
cause of physical disability; nearly al
were accepted. and, while exact fig
ures arc still lacking, it appeared tina
very few appealed to the medical ad'
visory board for a further cxamin'
alton. This would indicate that in the
great majority of cases the regis
trants accepted the decision OF the ex
iamininE physicians. 9,
Most of the acceptances mean tina
the registrant is capable of doing an.
kind of work required OF him 70
military purposes: in Il few instance
the registrants proved fit for specia
service In the army and recomp1enda
ton was made hat they be assignee
to duties which would not require al
absolutely perfect physique.
