“ THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY By JACK HELLER / OUCH! Bob Wemhoff recently had an unfortunate experience with a cpu* pie of dogs in his neighborhood. He ended up getting a bite on the leg, but in the process, he had to take on two dogs. As he was walking home, a large dog approached him In an unfriendly manner. Bob* states that he had this animal scared away, and was ready to continue on his way home, when a smaller partner of. thg big dog slipped up from behind, and bit him. Things are getting out of hand when the animals start to gang up to mugg a person. —■ . ' ADIEU We-have heard that in huge industries, there is somebody coming on a job, or being transferred or fired every day—that a change , of personnel is a common occurrence. At our newspaper, such is not the case, so it is with a touch of sadness that we say goodbye to two employes in one week. Jack Kline, who has been in our advertising department for seven and one-half years, is going into business for himself. At least he’s putting his wife and children in business. Jack bought a grocery store on Tri-Lakes, north of Columbia City. Local folks who know Jack’s love of fishing insist that Betty and the kids will have run the store —Jack will be fishing all the time. In any case, we hope whoever runs the store does a lot of business. Patsy Hoffman is the other employe who’s departing. Patsy’s been in the bookkeeping department for two and one-half years, and is leaving to join her husband, Tom. during his hitch in the army. Suffering from my usual attack of spring wanderlust, I can’t help but envy them a little bit. Anyway, best of luck to both of them. — 30 NO SWEAT, DAD Mrs. Chalmer Deßolt is planning to word her Sunday school Wessons a little differently. Recent-* ly, she was telling the tale of Jacob and the ladder and the rock, etc., ’ to a group of two-to-four year olds in the Presbyterian Sunday school. After telling the story, she finished . up with the statement that “God' ’ -said, ‘I will take care of you’.” ( Bill Macklin, her nephew, was impressed with the lesson, and on his arrival home, started to relate the same to his father, Dave. He gave ’ a picturesque account of the whole lesson, and finished up by saying, “don’t worry. Daddy, ’cause no matter what happens. Auntie Tut ■ will take care of you.’’ — 30 SILENT PARTNER Charles Holthouse came up with with one of the cleverest tax-relat-ed remarks we’ve heard. He was explaining the tax deductions for corporations and stated that for the first so-many dollars, made by a business, the government got 35% of each dollar. After that, they bit in deeper, and took 52% of each dollar. In other words, said Jake, they were majority stockhoHjers. SPRING CLEANING Gerry Timmons, a resident of . Berne, was recently helping his wife with some chores connected with the spring housecleaning. One . task was burning the trash, so he . went around the house picking up wastebaskets and the like. The next day at work, he was told he had a phone call. It was Mrs. Timmons, and she wanted to know if Gerry had done anything with the kitchen curtains she had taken down to wash—she wanted to iron them and put them back up. Gerry said he had no idea—he hadn't seen them. Then Mrs. Timmons asked if he had taken a sack off one of the kitchen chairs when he was collecting the trash the evening before. As is evident by now,, the curtains were cremated with the trash. It was one way for Mrs. Timmons to get new curtains. WHEN DAY IS DONE Peter Mayclin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Mayclin, was learning

" the finer points of basketball this winter by playing with the PresI byterian church team. After one j of his first games, he came home 1 quite excited. He told his parents that it had been quite a game. Naturally, they asked who won. but Pete wasn’t sure. He said he thought his team was ahead while he was playing, but then the pros (7th and Bth graders) started play- ’ ing, and he wasn't sure how it . ended. Actually, he thought it was . a tie, as he heard one of the playt ers say that if they had more time they would have a “dead sunrise.” . The Mayclins pondered this dead , sunrise a while, and then someone finally asked Peter if he didn’t [ mean "sudden' death.” So who t worries about details?- .

Current Operations Os Selective Service Act

• The draft has been extended for four years, until July 1, 1963. This means that the young men of the country must continue to expect to serve in the military forces. This series of articles outlines the basic 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 registrant 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. TJiere are no group or class deferments or exemptions No deferment or exemption may be assigned except on the basis of individual status. Exemptions and deferments also differ. Most deferments extend liability to age 35; exemptions Jkrnot. Exemptions are relatively permanent. Deferments are intended to be temporary. They are reviewed periodically and occupational deferments are limited to a maxij mum period of one year at a time. ! Relatively few men without prior military service qualify for exemptions compared to the numbers who, for temporary periods at least, qualiy for deferments. As far as men without military service are concerned, the largest exempt group is made up of ministers of religion and theological | students. Relatively small numbers j are exempt as aliens or as sole I surviving sons of families which have lost one or more sons and daughters in service. On the other hand, deferments affect a great many men. Largest deferred group is that made up of men who are unacceptable to the armed forces — the IV-F registrants. Others may be deferred because their induction would result in extreme hardship to dependents: because they are engaged in study oj-„ occupations important to the national health, safety or interest; because they are satisfactory members of a.reserve component including the national guard. Two types of student deferments are provided. Deferment in class 11-S is for full-time students and usually is based on either a standing in his class or his score on a special test given each year throughout the nation by the selective service system. Few undergraduate students seek this deferment because, with normal progress, a man may complete college before he reaches the age at which induction is imminent. The deferment is also available to graduate students. The other student deferment, designated class I-S, is provided by law to permit a man to complete an academic year when he is ordered for induction during the school year. The deferment is available only once. It expires at the end of the academic year or when the student ceases to pursue exempt status. And remember, if

a full-time course satisfactorily. Occupational deferments are used, or example, to avoid aggravating the teacher shortage and to insure an adequate supply of scientific, engineering, and technical personnel in the defense effort or in activities vital to civilian society and the economy. Hardship deferments require more than mere dependency. For instance, fathers have not been deferred for fatherhood by itself since August 25, 1953. It must be demonstrated to the local board that extreme hardship to bona fide dependents will result from induction. Very few qualified men pass their 26th birthday in a deferred or such a man is deferred he remains
