Orange Selective Service
Rejects Almost 50 Per Cent
Orange is considered an ave
rage North Carolina county, ex
cluding the 10 most populous
ones, and its record of rejections
by the State Selective Service is
a shocking one , 42.3 per cent
turned down "on the basis of
some sort of mental diagnosis."
And this on top of the fact
that Chapel Hill, largest town in
Orange county, has more educat
ed people, both white and Negro,
the statisticians say, than any
town of its size in the country !
About Average
It thus appears that North
Carolina has a bad record for re
jections based on mental diag
nosis, but the record probably
is not worse than that of the
average Southern state in tnis
respect, George H. Lawrence,
