Guide to Your Draft Stutus
Age and Job Are Determining Foctors
In Whut Men Will Be Called

Here's how the new draft regula-
tions will affect you.
Except for the men under 26, lot
will depend on what your draft
board considers Is "in the national
health, safety or interest" That's
what the occupational deferment OF
men over Is will rest on but at least
it's broader base than ever before.
National health, safety or inter-
est can cover plenty of territory. It
includes the national list Of essential
activities and the list Of locally need
ed activities, which previously did
not affect draft status. And besides
those lists, draft boards can defer
older men whose work has to do with
utilities, food, fuel, clothing, housing
or any other service that directly or
indirectly affects community in
wartime.
Men of all ages who are rejected
at the induction station for general
military service or accepted only for
limited service rate an occupetional
deferment II they stay in work 'in
the national, health, safety or inter-
est"
If you are an employer, Selective
Service Director Hershey advises you
to "cinch" your case for deferment
of your older employees by filing your
request right now. The draft boards
can take men out Of IA and give
them job deferment on the basis of
what's in the mems files but If your
work Is 'in the national, health,
safety or interest" it would be a
good idea to tell the draft boards you
think so. File form 42-A for en-
ployes 26 through 20 and form ABB
for men 80 and over.
In the following play play, your
age is figured as of the date the
board acts on your case and classi-
fies you.
