Newsitem: Under this new set-up, Selective Service Officials said today, the only grounds for exemption of fathers whose numbers come up, would be physical unfitness, occupational reasons, or “extreme-hardship” cases. Apparently those with investments, or money in the bank would be at a disadvantage.
“As ye sow so shall ye reap”,
Is an adage I’ve defended;
But now, the dough I tried to keep
I wish, by damn, I’d spended.
(or,)
“As ye sow shall ye reap”.
Has seen me quite contented:
But now the pelf I’ve slugged to keep–
O HOW I wish I’d spented!
