DR.. Craig says if building is
found to be infested by termites,
a detailed and careful examina-
ton should be made to determine
the extent of the infestation and
the control measures that will be
needed to prevent further dam
age.
Many cases will require only
fairly simple structural changes,
repairs, or chemical treatments
which can be made by or under
the supervision of the owner.
Others will necessiate the SER
vices of an operator who has
thorough knowledge Of the habits
of termites and is adequately
trained and experienced in ter

The Army has a lot of men serv-
ing two-year enlistments who
started wearing the uniform after
June "a. 1947.
, That means, Of course, that they
do not have one full year of service
before June "a, 1948. Without one
full years service before that date,
says the Draft Act, veteran is
not automatically exempt from the
draft.
So when these two-year men get
out of the Army next summer, what
happens to them? Are they drafted
in again?
Not if they join an organized re-
serve unit in their branch of the
service. They are covered by the
section of the Draft Act which says
that any veteran who served at least
80 days, but less than one year, be-
tween September Is, 1910, and June
"a, 1948, is exempt from the draft
provided they join an organized re-
serve unit. .(Of course, any veteran
who served more than 80 war-period
days, between Pearl Harbor and VI
Day, is entirely exempt from all
draft responsibilities
Joining an organized reserve unit
means the veteran must attend
weekly drill periods and two weeks
of active duty training once year.
Getting to those weekly drills
could be awfully tough for a man
who lived out in the sticks, miles
away from the nearest armory
where drills are given. In fact, it
could be impossible, as you can
imagine.
What about case like that?
Does that mean the veteran will be
drafted?
BY no means. The Draft Act goes
on to explain that in cases where
an organized reserve unit is mot
reasonably accessible" to the vet
eran he may join any reserve unit
mot organizeO of his branch of
the service.
The difference is that an unor-
ganized unit requires no attendance
for drills or training periods. 1t is
strictly paper outfit.
However, some men, apparently,
will not be able to join even an un-
organized reserve unit of their
branch of the service. The act goes
on to explain that in cases where
veteran is not able to join such
a unit, he can meet his draft re-
sponsibility by joining reserve
unit (not organized of a branch of
the service other than the one in
which he served.
Finally, even this last possibility
