Selective Service System announces appointment of new Utah board member The Selective Service System announced the recent appointment of J. Kimball Butterfield of Salt Lake County as a local board member. Although there has not been a military draft since 1973, the nation maintains a standby Selective Service System in case Congress enacts and the president orders a return to a draft in an emergency. The ongoing board member appointment process places dedicated, civic-minde- d men and women into these important volunteer positions. The goal is to have standby local boards which are representative of the communities they would serve. In a war with a draft, the local boards would meet routinely to review and decide claims filed by men seeking draft deferments, postponements, or exemptions. Their decisions must adhere to all rules and regulations, be fair, equitable, and unbiased, and reflect community and national needs and values. Local board members are recommended by the state fovemor. They are appointed by the national director of Selective Service, acting on behalf of the president. To prepare for their mobilization jobs, board members comcomprehenplete a sive training program to learn about the Selective Ser12-ho- vice System, the major duties, and responsibilities of board members, and board procedures. Nationally, there are more than 11,000 volunteers appointed to serve on over 2,000 local boards. To maintain proficiency, each board member undergoes annual refresher training after completing initial training. There are sdvertiso ? NOTHINGII men 18-2-5.
