COMMUNITY CLUB HONORED—
Jean Community Club recently re-
ceived a $25 check for their competi-
tion in community improvements Bill
I^ro***r left denter, presents the check

and Stanley H. Peovy, right, of Gra-
ham, watch the ceremony.
The first official call direct-
ing the physical and mental ex-
amination of 18-ycar-oId males
by state draft boards is sched-
uled to be placed in the mail
Wednesday, Colonel Morris S.
Schwartz, state Selective Ser-
vice director, said this morning.
The quota, effective in July,
directs the examination of 1,
816 Texas 18-year olds in that
month Theie youths will not be
considered for armed forces
service at this time, Colonel
Schwartz pointed out. Normally
a man is not reached for drift
induction until about age 22.
Instead. th?ir examination is
the result of President John
son's action of January 3, an-
nouncing that he was ordering
the Director of Selective Ser-
vice and the Secretary of De-
fense to examine all newly- reg-
istered men who are out of
school and otherwise available
for service.
Men married at age 18 and
those known to be continuing in
school currently will not be ex-
amined under the program.
Also, high school graduates
whose draft files show they in-

tend to enter college the fol !
lowing semester will not bt
ordered for examination ft a
high school graduate plans to
enter college this summer or
fall, he should notify his draft
board immediately.
The 18-year-old going for the
examination in July will be
primarily those who registered
with draft boards in January
1964.
“The, 18-year-olds who will be
sent for examination in July and
succeeding months,” Colonel
Schwartz said, "are those in
class 1-A, 1-A-O, and 1-0 who
became 18 years of age on or
after January 1, 1964, the old
est first”.
The examination oi inese Id-
year- olds is a part of the Pres-
ident's actions on manpower
conservation, generally referred
to as the “war on poverty."
The 18-year-olds who fail the
mental examination in July and
subsequent months will be re-
ferred by draft board letters to
local offices of the Texas Em-
ployment Commission,, where
they will receive advice and
counsel ^ 1*64-’’prepara-
tion for jobs.
The youths who get these let-
ters will be under no compul
slon to visit the TEC offices,
but may go if they feel the
government's offer to help will
benefit them.
In addition to the 1,816 18
year-olds scheduled for exami
nation in July, an additional 1.
319 older males—most nf them
21 to 22 years of age—will be'
examined to keep up a supply
of manpower for future draft
calls. This figure has been run-
ning between 5,000 and 6.000
men a month the past few
months, Colonel Schwartz point
ed out, but is now being re-
duced for July because of a
larger pool of examined and ac-
ceptable men and lower draft
calls,
Texas local boards have a
quota of 262 men to deliver for
armed forces service in July.
This compares to 812 in Janu-
ary, 517 in Fcbraury, 610 in
March, 449 in April, 258 in May,
and 234 in June.

GRAHAM
HIS THIRD CADILLAC ... HIS FIRST NEW ONE
This man is enjoying his first brand-new Cadillac —
after becoming acquainted with the car'* unsurpassed
value by twice buying used Cadillacs.
He learned that a late model used Cadillac gave him
more standard equipment and engineering advance-
ments than moat new car*.
First of all, while Cadillac’* styling was continually
refined, it never lost the clean, dignified look that says
Cadillac and Cadillac alone. The smooth, quiet perform-
ance and complete reliability of hia used Cadillac was
a constant source of enjoyment. Then, too, he end hia
family enjoyed luxury and eomfort to a degree reserved
exclusively for Cadillac owners.
The pride of ownership of so distinctive-a ear was a
never-ending pleasure, for he had the, satisfaction—
always—of knowing he drove the finest.
When it came time to trade his previously owned
Cadimrtar a later model, he found it* value had held
remarkably high ... and returned a substantial part of
hia original investment.
So what could be more natural — or wise—than to
make the eventual move to a new Cadillac?
New or used, there is no finer motoring investment
than a Cadillac. And new or used, your authorized
dealer liaa one to fit any budget. There’s never been a
better time to invest in the finest of them all.
