At the same time selective service
has placed a heavy responsibility on |
all boards through the decisions, ex-
plained below, that they will have to
make henceforth:
This is what the boards were told:
1—All physically fit men 18 thru
25 should be drafted except those
qualified for very special deferments.
These deferments are comparatively |
so few and so rigid as almost to be
taken out of the boards’ hands,
2—The only physically fit men 26
through 29 to be deferred are those
considered ‘necessary’ men and reg-
ularly engaged in an activity in war
production or in support of the na-
tional health, safety or interest. The
deferment” of those ‘necessary” men|
is “for the time being.”
3—All men 30 through 37, physi-:
cally fit or otherwise, don’t have to)
be “necessary.” They are to be de-
ferred if they are “regularly engaged
in an activity in war production or
in support of the national health, sa-
fety or interest.” This deferment is |

SPEAKER ASSERTS
WAR CAN BE LOST
Declaring that the war is not yet
won and can easily be lost, Dr. Ralph
Cooper Hutchinson, executive direc-
tor of the Pennsylvania Council of
Defense, in an address at a dinner
mecting of the Ebensburg Council of
defense Tuesday evening, called upon
the civilian population to be prepar-
ed for any emergency. He declared
that the civilian organization is not
one set up to cope with disasters of
war but to provide assistance in the
event of any catastrophe. He praised
the work of the OCD in this county,
ana urged that the work be continued
cn a permanent basis.
The mammoth jop or registering all
Pennsylvania soldiers for the right
to vote, which has been placed in the
hands of the OCD organization was
discussed by Mrs. Worthington
anton, commander of the state
cation cannot be achieved without a
touch of the spiritual. The speaker
alsc told of being acquainted with
the late Charles M. Schwab and that
Edward Schwab, a brother of the
steel magnate, had taught him his
law course at Notre Dame.
Mr. White spoke very briefly and
told of the period of grave responsi
bilities through which the Nation is
now passing.
As the principal commencement
speaker Attorney Charles J. Margiot-
ti expressed keen disappointment in
the small number of graduates in the
coilege. He declared that this is a
scientific and mechanized war which
puts vital importance on technically
trained men.
“The war,” he said, ‘is a shining
triomph of American technology.” He
also paid tribute to Mr. Walker and
Mr. White. In closing his address Mr.
Margiotti said America must affirm
its right to live peacefully, securely
and under God.
