Kline, past president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, have been edited and published in a book by the information division of the AFBF. The book is a documented, thorough discussion of Farm Bureaus basic philosophy of individual freedom. KLINE delivered the Reflections On Freedom lectures during the American Farm Bureau Federation Institute at Normal, Illinois, in May, 1965. In the foreword of the book, Charles B. Shuman, AFBF president, points out that Mr. Kline is one of the most articulate agricultural statesmen of our time. ' His perceptive analysis and timely interpretations of agricultural issues in the postwar period has helped American farmers appreciate the dangers of excessive centralization of power in the federal government. Mr. Kline correctly identifies freedom as the essential ingredient in the success formula of our American revolution and points to a few of the trends that threaten individual liberty, Shuman says. Copies of Reflections On Freedom can be purchased through State Farm Bureaus for 50 cents each. School children arriving to see the fine animals displayed during the Richmond Black and White Show.

It incorporates several recom- mendations made by Farm Bureau The most important change is the reversal of the order of induction. Up to now the order has been that all 1A registrants are listed according to age, with the oldest registrants (up to age 26) taken first. Under the new law the youngest, from age 19, will be selected first. This will minimize the disruption of career and bus:.iess plans. THE REASONS for deferment will be as in the piisL But the new statute directs that somewhat tighter standards for deferment be used by local draft boards. However, a considerable degree of discretion will continue to be vested in local draft boards. In the case of those who are deferred for any reason (particularly those who complete undergraduate college training), when the reason for deferment is ended, the registrants will go to the top of the list regardless of age, in the, same manner as registrants who reach the age of 19. With the exception of medical students, deferments will not generally be approved for study. However, a national manpower board is created which may establish additional deferment standards for graduate students in other fields of study essential to national needs. post-gradua- Claim Service Cross-Count- ry Utah Farm Bureau auto policy holders who getinvolved in collisions outside the state of Utah, have affiliated claims service with all 48 state Farm Bureau Insurance companies located across the country.
