Subscription Rates: One year in advance, $3.00 Two Yrs. $5.00 The New Draft Law The new military draft law passed recently by Congress makes an additional 5,000,000 young men subject to induction into the armed forces within the next four years. That i3 the number which Selective Service estimates esti-mates will become 18 and one-half years of age, and thus subject to the draft, between next July 1 and mid-1963, the next date on which the draft law is due to expire. We asked Selective Service who and how many it expects to call for military duty and how they will be chosen. Here are some of their answers. Draft calls so far this year are running at around 8,000 a month. Barring world-wide disarmament or a . big shooting war, neither of which is expected, that rate will probably continue. The rate is at about 100,000 a year. , One in Twelve , Only about one out of every twelve young men who become of draft age actually will be called, Selective Selec-tive Services' .figures indicate. How, we asked will those to be called be selected. Only those; in excellent physical condition and above average mentally will be chosen. The tests on . both physical and mental conditions will be more strict than in the past, we are told. In the past only about 2 out of every 10 called have been rejected, but, Selective Service says the rejection rate will be about 3 out of every 10 under the new law. The President, it was1 explained has broad powers to change the number as well as the physical and mental men-tal standards of those to be called. Selective Service officials, of-ficials, however, know of no plans for changes. : The law fixes the age for draft at between 18 and one-half to 25 years, but for those who have" been deferred de-ferred the law makes them subject to draft up to the age of 85. As a matter of practice, most of the draft calls are for the 22 and 23 year olds. Deferments The law does not provide for deferments to permit the youths to continue through high school and college, but Selective Service officials say that unless there is a national emergency the present practice on deferments defer-ments will be continued. The present practice, which could, however, be changed by a presidential order, is to defer fathers and expectant fathers, providing they keep their draft board informed of their status. The law also provides another way to avoid active duty in the military forces. A young man can sign up with one of the military reserve units, including the National Guard, for six months active duty training. After that he must attend weekly drills and a two weeks annual training period. This would continue for several years, in most cases until he reaches the age of 36 and thus become exempt from the draft. THE AMERICAN WAY . j . i ,-.

The 1959 National Civil Defense De-fense Alert is scheduled for April 17-18, 1959, according to Utah County Director Thorit C. Hebertson. Plans for county-wide county-wide participation were discussed dis-cussed during the regular monthly county meeting this veck. All cities, communities, institutions and industries are urged to participate in- the event. The alert is planned to provide pro-vide training In, and testing of, Civil Defense and Defense Mobilization plans and programs pro-grams at all levels. Training includes Increased public knowledge and awareness essential es-sential to survival. The Initial warning will come at 11:30 AM. EST (9:30 A. M. Mountain Time). There will be a minimum of two hours of warning between the Initial warning and the time of hypothetical attack. The "striking" time for lo cal areas will be determined by the State Director. As plans are developed, additional information in-formation will be published. Definite plans for a Brigham Young University sponsored class In Basic Civil Defense got underway at the monthly meeting, with Thursday, April 9th, being chosen as the beginning be-ginning date. David N. Chalk, Supervisor of Off-Campus Non-Credit Lectures and Short Courses, spoke and introduced the plan for conducting Civil Defense courses of instruction through the University. The tentative course scheduled for the Spring quarter would Include 15 different dif-ferent classes, first of which must, of course, be the "Basic Course for Civil D e f ense Workers." 'Why Didn't They.?' Publication of the names of the major nominees for Motion Picture Academy Award honors hon-ors -best picture, best actors, etc., still provides America with what probably is the most absorbing of all conversational gambits. This is the "Why didn't they ?" approach. "Why didn't they choose such and so?" "Why didnt they select se-lect this picture or that?" Well, why didn't they? Obviously, "they" didn't because be-cause a majority of the craftsmen crafts-men and actors who make our movies did not agree with the critical opinion of the "why didn't they ?" movier-goer. The means by which Hollywood Holly-wood tags its own, selecting five nominees In each of its several Academy Award categories, cate-gories, Is well known in this 31st anniversary year of the fabulous "Oscar." The manner in which Holloywood votes on its nominees, so that the "best" is decided upon, is equally known. Gratifyingly, the process is being repeated this year, on April 6, and will be broadcast for the continued delight of even the "why didn't they..?" dissenter. Don't you remember a long black fellow who rode on horseback with you from Tre-mount Tre-mount to Springfield nearly ten years ago,. . . . .Well, I am that same one fellow yet. Abraham Lincoln IV By Ruth Louise Partridge SPRING TONIC Thursday March 26, 1959. Column Number 30. And such a delightful sunshiney weath er and storms everywhere but here. A foot of new snow in Denver yesterday. Of course I don't mind snow. I love it In fact, but still there is the warm sun pouring in my window and the radio is giving out with that lovely "The Swan" by what's -his-name and altogether altogeth-er I am suddenly full of beatitude. beati-tude. "My soul is like a watered water-ed garden." I read that first long years ago in a favorite and much used book called AUNT JANE OF KENTUCKY. "My Soul is like a watered garden." I think it is from the Bible and is about the most expressive ex-pressive utterance of its kind ever I ran across. I was in my very early teens when I first read it and it brought tears to my eyes. Ah, me I weep for different things these days. Easter will be over when this comes out. I asked a young thing "Where do you go East-ering East-ering these days?" Her mother answered me, "All the Easter places have houses on now." So you see other people have noticed it too! CLEAN-UP A beautiful full page of clean-up day in Springville in this week's that is, last week's Saturday Evening Post. Beautl ful picture. Very laudable en deavor too, clean up, but not when you get so carried away that the original pioneer treaty-with-the-Indians tree is murdered because it casts a shadow. That's going too far and I've got a notion to write to the SATEVEPOST and say so. I get so mad-and now my beatitude is all gone. And now that it's gone let's talk about the world situation. This hassle in Tibet. Seems such a pathetic thing and our response to the threat of the Nationalist' Chinese on Formosa Formo-sa to give aid to Tibet and to let Tibet be her own master when the Chinese mainland is retaken is met with Indulgent smiles by us, sitting here fat and complacent. I'd like to mention the leader of the Nationalists, Na-tionalists, Chiang Kai Shek, but I can't spell his name and I don't know where to go to look it up, so I won't mention it. It could just well be that the unravelling of the knitting so cleverly done by the Russians Rus-sians will start with just such a tiny dropped stitch as Tibet. It is always the little people, the little countries that raise ned with established conditions, j It. was so with us. Some seeming unimportant incident Im thinking of the: indignation of the people at! the murder of a Duke at an un-likely un-likely place called Sarajevo. Ij think THAT is spelled right.1 It set off the First World War.l The world fell apart and has never been put together again.! And this German thing: Why can't the Western powers say to Russia, "Alright, if you want us out of Germany we'll go, but the Germans are to settle set-tle this thing among themselves them-selves to suit themselves." Then let them do it. If blood Is to be shed to reunite Germany, Ger-many, let it toe German blood. And may the best side win. After all. France. (England and the VS. hold ground In Ger many. We certainly hold. as much. ground as Russia. Since East Germany has arms, why not provide the West Germans with arms and let them settle their own fate. They've earned it, no matter how you look at It. Of course Russia wouldn't like it, she never likes a fair fight, but then she doesn't like it anyhow. Goodbye now. Social Service Directory To Be Compiled By Coordinating Council The Utah County Civic Coor- dinating Council has released a questionalre to civic com-munties, com-munties, service, fraternal and federated c ubs, agencies and churches, asking for information informa-tion necessary to the compilla-tion compilla-tion of a social service directory direct-ory for Utah County. Under the direction of Dr. Blaine Porter, chairman of the Coordinating Council Project Committee, the new directory will supply a much needed listing list-ing of agencies, services and fund drive information. At the present time there is no such publication in Utah County where under one cover laymen, lay-men, professional persons, or organlations may una wa services are available or where they may be located. The churches were contact ed individually, except In the case of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Youth Conference On Atom Finalists To Be Named Soon Some 69 nominations from throughout Utah are being screened this week to determine deter-mine 10 finalists who will compete for all-expense-paid trips to the Youth Conference on the Atom in Atlantic City next month.

Any organization not receiving receiv-ing a copy of the questionalre Is urged to notify Dr. Porter at Brigham Young University, so that the directory may be complete. An application form for membership in the Coordinating Coordinat-ing Council was Included with the questlonaire, in the hope that more community groups will want to share in the important im-portant community enterprises undertaken by the Council. I have no other (ambition) so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.

Also, the fertilized rows produced potatoes of a better size than rows where no fertilizer was used." In addition, Mr. Mills reported a 5 ton increase from his silage corn. "You just can't afford to farm without nitrogen fertilizer and I like USS Ammonium Nitrate on my crops," Mr. Mills says. Try USS Nitrogen Fertilizers this year.
