Post Office Dept. Turns Down
Warrenton's Bid for Delivery
Warrenton's bid for city de
livery of mall has failed.
Postmaster Leonard S.
Daniel announced Wednesday
that the proposed City De
livery Service Establishment
for Warrenton was not approv
ed by the Post Office Depart
ment.
Daniel said that the direc
tor, local service division of
the Post Office Department
stated that one of the require
ments for the establishment of
city delivery service is that
there must be a population of
2500 within the area to be
served. Although a recent sur
vey revealed that there was
a population of 2753 within the
area to be served at Warren
ton, 97 of these families were
presently receiving rural de
livery service, the director
said. Since service would be
to boxes at the curb there
would be no significant benefit
for changing these patrons '
from rural to city delivery
service.
"As we are unable to ap
prove the conversion of these
patrons from rural to city de
livery service," the director
said, "the population within
the area to be served Is less
than 2500 and we may not ap
prove the establishment of city
delivery service at Warrenton
at this time."
Postmaster Daniel said that
as time progresses and if
Warrenton shows an increase
in population, the town ofWar
renton would be eligible to re
ceive city delivery service.

Married Men Now Subject
To Draft In Warren County
Married men ami some col
lege students are now subject
to the draft in Warren County,
according to Mrs. Thomas El
lington, clerk of the local draft
board.
Mrs. Ellington said the
Ixjard has received orders to
include for induction those
men married prior to Aug 26,
1965 in the March call, if
necessary.
She said the l>oard had also
received instructions that
certain college students aieno
-longer?deferrable due to the
shortage of manpower avail
able for the draft.
Mrs. Ellington said the
March quota calls for ten
men from Warren County. The
February quota was four.
College undergraduate stu
dents who have been in and
out of college longer than the
normal amount of time re
quired to receive a first un
dergraduate degree and who
have not received such a de
gree will be reclassified, she
said.
Also to be reclassified are
those undergraduate students
who because of scholastic rea
sons have dropped out of one
school and are now enrolled
in another college.
The graduate students who
entered school two or more
years ago and who have not
yet graduated will also be
eligible for Induction, she
said.
Those attending technical
institutes and industrial edu
cation centers will also be in
cluded in the reclassification.
Men who have been attending
ail institute for three years
and who have not yet com
pleted their course, along with
those who are taking a two
year technical course who
have been in and out of the
institute, will face reclassifi
cation.
Mrs. Ellington said that col
lege students who are ordered
for induction but who are still
satisfactorily pursuing a rull
tinie college course on the
date their induction orders
are mailed r,.jy be give a
deferment to class I-SC until
the end of their current aca
demic year.
She explained that the I-SC
classification cancels orders
for induction temporarily.
Previously full-time col
lege students were classed as
2-S and were not subject to
draft.
Prior to Aug. 26, married
men were not inducted but
those who have married since
that date have been eligible
to be called.
Also to be reclassified are
some of those now in the I-Y
category.
Mrs. Ellington said the I-Y
classification, designates
mental, physical, or moral
reasons for disqualifying men.
Those in the I-Y group to
be reclassified are the high
school graduates who scored
from 10 to 31 on the stand
ard AFQT which is adminis
tered at the time of examii a
tion.
Now the polic\ has beu?
cnanged to permit calling i;?< n
