IF Selectees Must Keep
In Contact With Board

A 4-F selective service classification
is not permanent and should not be
interpreted as a guarantee that the
registrant will never be called up for
military service, the local draft office
has announced
Many selectees with this classifica-
ton fail to report changes of address
as required under the regulations,
whereas they are required to keep in
contact with the draft board in the
same manner as all other classifica-
ton groups.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial
by the Editor

We have often wondered why the
Selective service boards OF the country
are not equipped with baseball bat
and instructed to use it on the heads
of some people we know. The men
filling these responsible places are do
ing herculean work for winch they COL
lect considerable abuse OF the most
putrid nature. That they are OF a
forgiving and unresentful nature must
be admitted, for otherwise there would
be a number of broken heads on the
streets of every town where the Selec-
tive service boards function.

No trouble is experienced from hte
men inducted into service, but from
self-styled protectors who feel it their
duty to protest the induction Of some
relative or acquaintance because an
other man they know was not inducted
and was deferred on grounds perfect
" in accordance with the laws and
rulings as made in such cases. Mauo-
lin sentiment has no place in the
makeup of the board members, who
are men of the highest ideals and who

boards know their constituents and all
