Selective 1968 - Plaindealer - Sec. 2, Set out below are questions frequently asked of the Selective Service System along with appropriate answers. Your cooperation in printing or announcing these will be in the public interest. •• Q. I wish to apply for a conscientious objector classification. What does the law provide for in this regard? A. According to a law, a conscientious objector is any person "who by reason of religious training and belief" is conscientiously opposed to participation in war in any form. The term BIRTH DAZE Happy birthday greetings this week go to Kurt Rpth on the ninth and to Penny Walters on the tenth. "religious training and belief does not include essentially political, sociological or philosophical views, or a merely personal moral code. So, to obtain recognition as a conscientious objector, a registrant must have a position which can be recognized as "religious" as contrasted with essentially political, sociological, or philosophical views, or a merely personal moral code. Q. I am now in college with a H-S classification; however, I am planning to apply for a Class 1-0 classification as a conscientious objector. Should I apply now or wait until I graduate from college? A; You should apply now. Q. A friend of mine has told me he heard the President had abolished all occupational deferments in February of 1968. Is this true? A. No. Occupational deferments are still beifltf gr; (My the lists of E* sential Activittes Mid Critical Occupations previoariy issued by the Department* of Commerce and Labor have been suspended. The locaf boards continue to consider requests for occupational deferment on the merits of each fiidMdual case* FRANKLIN D.R00SEVELT "More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginning of all wars." iWdress written for JeSkntin Day Dinners Broadcast, April 13, 1945. (President Roosevelt died suddenly, April 12, at Warm Sprint*, Georgia.) Buy U.S. Savings Bonds new Fre'edom Shares the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, who said that the tremendous demand for money by all sectors of the economy, and other related factors, has caused interest rates to rise to historically high levels. Agriculture is borrowing to expand and modernize, to substitute labor with capital. Local, state and Federal governments are also using great amounts of borrowed funds. "These current heavy capital demands in this country, and around the world, make it appear quite unlikely that we will be returning to interest rates approaching those which had prevailed three decades prior to the mid-1950's,." Nowlan stated. "Although no one can guarantee an unlimited amount of money will always be available to the Land Bank System," Nowlan continued, "we are in a position to finance farmers who wish to obtain loans for nonspeculative and non-inflationary purposes -- assuming they have a sound basis for credit." So far during this calendar year, Nowlan pointed out, the Federal Land Bank System (twelve districts throughout the United States) have had six bond issues, totaling $1,768,000,000 -- of which th£ St. Louis bank participated in the amount of $167,400,000^ Rates; on these bonds ranged from 5.7 percent to 6.3 percent. On an issue totaling $446.5 million, which was sold last month, the banks had to pay 6 percent. Our toss ig'you( the policy bolder.
