FISHING FOR DISABLED
 VETERANS

The State Board of Fisheries and Games experimented last year with the stocking of the pond at the Avon Old Farms for blind veterans. The experiment was successful since number of the patients at the hospital enjoyed an opportunity for trout fishing under the super vision of the Recreation Director at the Hospital.
 A fiehing site at the Blackledge River where 1t is crossed by high way No. 2 in the town of Marlbor- ough has been selected on account of its easy access as suitable for disabled veterans. A parking space will be provided and benches along the stream will make 1t possible for a disabled man to do home trout fishing with a minimum of exertion. The Roadside Develop rnent Bureau of the State Highway Department is constructing a picnic area nearby with tables and fire- plEces which will be available for general public use.

This restriction applies also to the Yantic River from one-half mile above Rubber Mill Pond to Johnson's Bridge on Route No. 2.

Men Held Vital
In Reconversiion
10 Be Deferred
Scientists Reussured
By Gen. Hershey After
Draft Policy Protest

In the face of a protest from the
American Chemical Society that
new selective service rules, if hon.
estly applied, would virtually elm
mate all occupational deferments,
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey dis
closed today he had told a recent
White House meeting that selectiye
service would do "everything pos
sible to protect" a certain group of
men.
In this group, as described by the
selective service director, are "men
who were of such importance that
their removal from civilian occupa-
tlon would adversely affect recon-
version as well as scientific re-
search"
Alden H.sEmery, secretary of the
American Chemical Society, had
written Gen. Hershey that the So
clety was informed the only men to
be deferred, except those specified
In the Draft Extension Act, are
those indispensable and fireplace
able to the national existence"
Since no individual can be de-
scribed in such terms with propri-
ety." Mr.. Emory said, this in effect
eliminates all selectivity."
Gen. Hershey replied that in lin
ltlng occupational deferments to
registrants whom local boards found
to be irreplaceable in and indispen-
sable to an activity essential to the
national interest, selective service
did provide for the deferment of
essential men in industry and edu-
cation.
The new rules, he added, define
this essential activity as one of such
Importance that any disruption of
1t would adversely affect the physi-
cal well-being, public safety or
economic life of the community or
the Nation.
This language" added Gen.
Hershey, lis intended to give local
boards full discretion in determin-
ing who is and who is not essen
tial. Obviously the scientifically
trained individual who is engaged
in important research or other
work of value to the physical we'll
being or economic life of the coun-
try would be entitled to deferment
consideration"
The September call for selective
service - first since June - totals

Georgetown's New Hospital
Links Tradition and Proqress
By Chris Mothisen

AS testimony to progress and ira
dition, the aged spire of George
town University has been joined on
the city's western skyline by the
sternly functional lines of the new
university hospital.
Georgetown, proud of a history
dating back to the first days of con-
stitutional government in the United
States, Is looking forward to an
opportunity for expanded public
service.
The new hospital Is being built
as community necessity under q
Federal grant Of 1880, ,0O0,, supple
mented by the university's contribu-
ton Of the land and 100000. The
work is under the general supervi-
sion of w. E. Reynolds, commission
er of public buildings.
Operated by University.
When 1t is completed, however
the 400-bed hospital will be turned
over to the university for opera
ton. The Sisters OF St. Francis, a
Catholic order, will continue to ad-
minister the institution in its new
home, but neither creed nor color
will affect the availability of its
services.
AS has been the case since It's
founding in 1898, it will remain a
teaching hospital" functioning in
conjunction with the Georgetown
Medical School.
The new building is located on
the south side of Reservoir road
NV. at Thirty-ninth street, ada
cent to the building housing the
medical and dental schools, which
was built in 1881. The ground plan
has the aspect Of a cross on a fiat
base, the base being that portion
OF the building facing Reservoir
road.
The "base" has three stories; the
north-south member of the cross
has five, and the east-west member
has seven.
Building Outline.
Ofices, laboratories, emergency
suite, x-ray department and a
chapel with choir will be situated
on the first floor. The second will be
devoted to the out-patient clinic
