How a Draft Board Classifies a Man’s Case
An editor notes how a draft board examines a man’s file and votes on classifications. Questions cover active duty status, conscientious objection, age and service completed, sole surviving son, fitness, religion, alien status, public office, dependency, reserve or student status, deferments for education or farming, wartime qualification, and two types of recognized conscientious objectors. If none apply, the man is available for military service.
