This means that the young men
Of the country must continue to
serve in the military forces. This
series of articles outlines the ba-
'sic responsibilities and rights Of
young men under the draft law
This is the fourth article in the
series.
The information submitted to.
THE local board may result in a e
Igistrant being placed in either a
deferred or an exempt class.
No deferment or exemption is
permanent. These classifications
end when the conditions on
which they are based no longer
exist in any individual case. There
are no group or class deferments
Tor exemptions. No deferment or
exemption may be assigned ex-
|cept on the basis Of individual
status.
Exemption and deferments also
differ. Most deferments extend
liability to age 35; exemptions do
not, Exemptions are relatively
permanent. Deferments are intend
ed to be TEMPORARY. They t re-
viewed periodically and occupa-
Itional deferments are limited to a
period of one year at .
time.
Relatively few men without
Irrior military service qualify for
exemptions compared to the NUM-
bers who, for temporary periods
at least, qualify. for deferments.
AS far as men without military
service are concerned. the largest
exempt group is made up Of min
listers of RELIGION and theological
students. Relatively small num-
bers are exempt as aliens or as
sole surviving sons of families
which have lost one or more sons
end daughters in service.
On the other hand, d~efernents
affect a great many men. Largest
deferred group is that made up of
men who are Unacceptable to the
Armed Forces-the IV-F regis
trants. Others may be deferred be-
cause their induction would result
IN extreme hardships to depend
,ents; because thev are engaged IN
study or occupations important to-
the national health, safety or in7
terest; because they are satisfac-
tory members Of a Reserve COM
ponent including the National
Guard.
Two types of student defer
ments are provided. Deferment in

and usually is based on either a

older and didn't have chill
dren. I feel that he is Just
afraid Of the responsibility,
but ! wouldn't burden him
with the children. My for
mer husband sends adequate
support for them.
Another man close to nv
own age Is in love with me
and loves the children. Mar.
tin says he'll make me love
him II I'll just marry him.
But with one unsuccessful
marriage in the background
I'm afraid to take a chance.
Martin r. = I, too, have
had an unsuccessful mar
riage and ! know what he'll
1t can be, 50 I wouldn't ask
Adele to take q chance II
I weren't sure we could
make q go Of 1t.
Ever since I have known
her. Adele has been harping
on this other man. The way
she talks you'd think he
was something special. But
! have met him and I can
see that he would never
take the trouble to make any
woman happy, even II he
would marry Adele--which
he won't. \
During the past two years
! have tried to 60 out with
other women and forget
about Adele. but 1t just won't
work. She Is on my mind all

how hard I'd try to make her
happy.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
The fact that both Adele
and Martin have had un-
successful marriages doesn't
seem to have made either
Of them any wiser or any
more eager for q successful
marriage. They have COM
mitted themselves to frustra-
ton. 1t has become O pattern
with them.
Martin may argue that he
Is ready and eager 10 marry
Adele, regardless Of her feel
ings. Yet surely. he is old
and experienced enough to
know perfectly well that II he
cannot win her under the
romantic conditions Of
courtship, he is unlikely to
be able to win her under the
routine and stresses Of mar.
ried life.
The only way out Of this
nut for Adele and Martin Is
to come to terms with them
selves. to recognize that they
actually enjoy hurting them
selves so that they can pity
themselves and avoid the
challenge Of creating q real
relationship with the posi-
bility of bringing fulfillment.
