Selective Service ~ Gives Rules on Standby Reserves The Reserve Forces Act of 19^5, provides (for the first time)" that Selective Service shall have the responsibility of determining the availability for recall to active duty of Standby Reservists by their respective reserve branch. A Standby Reservist may be called to active duty only in the event of a National emergency declared by the Congress, and only after Selective Service has determined that he is available for recall to active duty. (Section 233 (a) Reserve Forces Act of 1952 as amendned by Section 2 (e) Reserve Forces Act of 1955). Heretofore Standby Reservists have been called or recalled to active duty by his branch of ser vice without regard as to whether or not he was engaged in an essential occupation or his de pendents would suffer extreme hardship annd privation during his absence in service. The local board is responsible for the determination of avail ability of a Standby Reservist for call or recall to active duty in a National emergency by his res pective branch of service. Selec tive Service will not process Standby Reservists for induction, but will only determine avail ability to the Armed Force con cerned. If the local board deter mines that the Standby Reservist is available for call or recall to active duty, he will be placed in Category I-R. If the local board determines that the Stand by Reservist is not available for call or recall to active duty by reason of his being engaged in an essential occupation, he will be placed in Category 11-R. If the local board determines that the Standby Reservist is not available for call or recall to active duty by reason of extreme hardship to his dependents, he will be placed in Category 111-R. The law requires the reservist to furnish the local board with evidence upon which to base his claim for eligibility to Category 11-R or 111-R. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the reservist to furnish evidence of any change of status affecting his eligibility for Category I-R, 11-R, or 111-R since his initial Category may be changed from time to time con tingent upon changes in his status. Failure to keep the local board advised of such changes could result in his being declared available for call and placed in Category I-R. , OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Reunion of Wainright Family Held A family reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.
