Druftees' and Veterans Guide
BY Moi. Thomos M. Nioi-

If you're wondering about farm
deferments and whether you'll get
one, you've got company.
A short quote from letter I got
makes a good starting point: Il find
that farm deferments will be made
only on short-term emergency basis,
however justifiable the case may be" f"
writes a jackson. Mich, correspon-
dent. ANY comments?"
You find exactly right" would be
the first comment I could offer. Be-
cause that's the whole story on farm
deferments-they will be made on a
short term basis, no matter what the
case may be.
How short? One year, to be exact.
After that, the local board reclassi-
fies the registrant. If conditions
havn't altered, 1t may. and probably
will reclassify him right back into
Glass II-C-deferred for agricultural
activities.
Here is a paraphrase of the selec-
tive service regulation on farm de-
ferments:
Any registrant employed in the
production for market of a substan-
tial quantity of agricultural products
necessary to the maintenance of
the national health, safety or inter-
est will be put in Glass II-C If:
l. The registrant really is engaged
in that activity, or would be but for
seasonal Interruptions.
2. He cannot be replaced.
8. Drafting him would cause a
loss of effectiveness in his
particular farming operation.
So, right away you want to know
answers to these questions:

The Nom gomery County Com
missioners yesterday gave Thomas
w. Perry, Bethesda fuel dealer. a
reasonable time" to move his house
out of Bethesda street where it is
blocking traffic.
The action reversed stand taken
last week when the board gave Mr..
Perry until am. last Saturday to
move the house, which had begged
down in the center of the street
while being shifted the three blocks
from Wisconsin avenue to Cordell
avenue.
Commissioner Wesley I. Sauter
said yesterday the one-and-a half
story structure, which has been in
transit about three weeks. is in the
1900 block of Arlington avenue and
Is "irching along"
The Commissioners also directed
that a letter be written to Jack
Eaton, Bethesda area building in
spector, requesting him not to
grant permits to move houses on
county streets lover which he has
no jurisdiction.
The board issued a permit to the
j. Enos Ray kindergarten to hold
classes in the Takoma Park NUM-
cipal building. J. Ernest Hawkins,
board clerk, said the application has
been approved by r. P. Frye, the
town building inspector. M. E. Nc
Bride, Takoma Park fire chief, and
DR.. L. r. Burnett, town health Of
ficer.
No opposition was voiced at the
hearing, which was attended by
about 20 mothers.
The Commissioners had granted a
permit to the kindergarten about
a month ago, but rescinded it last
week after Mrs. Alma Opal. Ia
koma Park. complained the board
had failed to hold a hearing.
The following traffic regulations
were approved:
No parking on the east side of
West avenue from Bradley lane to
Ridge street, Chevy Chase, and on
the east side OF Maple Ridge road
from Old Georgetown road to Park
lane. Bethesda. One hour parking
on the north side Of Miller avenue
to point zl4 feet west Of Wiscon-
sin avenue.
The board also ordered stop signs
erected at Glendale road and East
Leland street, Chevy Chase.
The resignation Of Policeman
John l.. Jones, Bethesda, was ac-
cepted. Mr.. Jones said he was re-
signing because of i'll health.

/. What is substantial quantity? ?
2. How does one define necessary
to the maintenance of the national
health, safety or interest,"?
3. What is a material loss of
effectiveness?
Right away I have to say that
these questions do not have answers
today. They may never have answers
which follow any kind of pattern.
For instance, a substantial guam
tity in one part of the country might
be different than in another. Also,
a substantial quantity of one agri-
cultural product might be different
than substantial quantity of
another.
So, who decides these things?
Your local board. IF they think you
may rate farm deferment, or if
you ask for one, they will look at
the facts in your case and answer
the questions as they see fit.
I think there will be a good many
farm deferments. because there are
a lot of draft-age people working
on farms. The exact age number
is not known. but reliable estimate
of the number of single, nonvet-
eran, draft-age farm workers is
$50, 900.
There's little doubt but that many
Of these 250,000 will gain draft defer
ments.
So now you know all the "ifs"
about agricultural deferments. To
get the facts you'll have to wait and
see what your draft board does, and
watch for new regulations.

The bureau also acts as an in

By George Beveridqe

nave you ever Deen unaDle 10
locate the family doctor-or any
doctor-when you needed him most?
Ten years ago. there probably was
good reason for spending frantic
moments thumbing through the
telephone directory to find a doctor
If you go through such wasted mo-
ton now-whether it's at pm. or
2 am.-you probably haven't heard
of the Medical Bureau of the Dis
trict Medical Society.
The bureau has two main pur-
poses. One is to handle calls for
doctors. The other is to reach your
doctor for you or, if he isn't avail
able, to get another one-fast.
The bureaus busiest times, when
doctors are least available, are be-
tween 6 and 8 pm. daily and on
Thursday afternoons, according to
a recent bureau survey. Doctors,
like other persons, have to take
some time off from the job. And
many of them choose Thursday
afternoons.
cOU DOCtOTS LlSteu.
The bureau is set up to take over
any time the doctor can't be reached
at his Office or home. It's business
is carried on at a three-operator
switchboard at its headquarters,
1718 M street NV, where more than
1000 calls day are handled
through the number-Republic 6l00.
About $50 of the Districts 1900
practicing doctors are listed with
the bureau and the switchboard
takes calls on direct lines from the
Offices and homes of about 260
others. If these 600 doctors can
be reached. the bureau operators
know where. If they can't, the
bureau has a list of alternate phys
icians who are available.
Most dramatic Of the bureaus
services is its emergency" list from
which the operators must get doc
tor on the job within 10 minutes
of the time an emergency call comes
in. according to j. Richard Connolly,
who directs the bureaus activities.
lVV OH EhCi SchSy AiSt.
More than 100 doctors, listed ac-
cording to the areas in which they
live, are on the emergency list for
night calls alone.
Often, though, the operators are
called on for more than merely to
locate a doctor. Bureau officials cite
the call received by Mrs. Helen
Workman, 412 Crittenden street
NV. as a good example.
Several weeks ago, woman called
to report that she had taken an
overdose Of sleeping pills. While
calling the police rescue squad on
another line, Mrs. Workman said
she kept up a running conversation
with the woman because she knew
it was important in such cases for
the victim to remain conscious.
II talked to her for more than 10
minutes about everything I could
think Of" the operator said. Every
once in while the telephone would
slip out of her hane and she collap-
sed at just about the time the police
got there"
Doctors Recommended.
The woman was rushed to CAL
linger Hospital, where she was re-
ported in good condition the next
day, Mrs. Workman said.
The bureau operators stress that
no treatment is available at it's
headquarters. They also determine
whether patients are able to pay for
private care. Those who are not
able are referred to the Health De-
partment or Hospital Service
Agency. The bureau was begun in
1910, with 100 doctors, and is still
growing.
