HYDRANGEAS
Good-morning, Hydrangeas,
My long lasting friends
From early in April
Till late July ends!
Both scrubby and climbing
Your plants, large and strong,
Have leaves glossy green
On limbs short and long;
Your roots, going deep,
Bring water to you
With lime for the pink
And iron for the blue!
When blooming is over
You don’t leave the scene
But change to the shadings
Of browns-in-between.
As wood, in the forests,
That beauty has known
Retains loveliness
When living has gone!
Kenny Smith
Named To
Workshop
Kenny L. Smith, of Flovilla,
presently a freshman at
Clayton Junior College, has
been appointed to the Wash
ington Workshop National
Student Advisory Committee.
Board Chairman Leo S. Tonkin
recently made the announce
ment from the Workshops
office in Washington, D. C.
Kenny is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond Smith of

Foundation, a nonprofit, non

a series of unique study
seminars in American Govern
ment to high school students.
Each year some 1,000 young
people from across the Nation
participate in Washington
Workshops seminars in the
Nation’s Capital.
The students stay at Mount
Vernon College, in Northwest
Washington, and spend their
days on Capitol Hill where
Senators and Congressmen
speak to them and answer any
questions the student might
have about the issues and
procedures of American Gov
ernment. Students also attend
committe hearings and make
appointments with their re
spective Congressman and
Senator.
You And The
Draft
The temporary processing
number for selective service
registrants born in 1954 has
been raised from 20 to 50. This
simply means that local boards
will now send questionnaires
to those young men born in 1954
with lottery numbers up to 50
and they will be reclassified
from their present Class I-H
into I-A unless they are eligible
fora lower classification based
on information submitted in
their questionnaires.
This group will then be
considered eligible for military
service during, 1974 which is
the calendar year in which they
will reach age 20. However, the
induction authority has ended
as of June 30th and they only
‘stand ready’ for call in an
emergency.
The Administrative Process
ing Number for this age group
remains at 95.
