Bi Number of Draft Rejections
Raleigh.—The four Roanoke
Chowan counties are among the
twenty counties having the
largest number of selective serv
ice rejections in North Carolina,
according to data compiled by
Spencer B. King, Jr., research as
sistant in the Institute for Re
search in Social Science, for a
“History of Selective Service in
North Carolina.”
Hertford county, which rank
ed the highest of the four coun
ties, was 89th on the list. Gates
county was 90th, Bertie 95th and
Northampton 97th, only third
from the bottom.
In Hertford county 54.41 per
cent of those examined were re
jected. Of the whites examined
41.95 percent were rejected
The rate was higher for the Ne
groes; 60.50 percent were re
jected.
The total rate of rejection in
Gates county was 55.26. The
white rejection rate was 43.02
percent and the Negro 63.55.
In Bertie county 57.71 percent
were not taken. Of whites ex
amined 40.62 percent were re
|V}ted, the colored rate of rejec
tion being 67.94 percent.
The total rate of rejection in
Northampton county was 58.24
percent. The white rejection rate
was 44.76 percent and the Ne
gro 65.08 percent.
The rejection rate for the State
was 44.68 percent, with 48 coun
ties below this and 52 counties
above.
Generally, most of the lower
rejection rates were in the west
ern part of the state while the
higher rates tended to occur in
the east. McDowell was the most
conspicuous exception, only eight
counties having rates that were
higher. Ashe, Wilkes, Stokes, and
Rutherford were less decidedly
variants from this tendency. All
counties ranking 75 to 100, ex
cept McDowell, were in the east
ern half of North Carolina; all
counties ranking 1 to 25 were
in the western half.
Further statistical analysis
were made in order to determine
how Selective Service rejections
fitted into the pre-existing pat
tern of life within the different
counties, since rejection for mili
tary service was a product of cir
cumstances that existed in the
county and the state prior to the
establishment of the Selective
Service System. It was found that
rejection rates were lower in ur
ban or semi-urban counties where
fewer men were employed in
