In compliance with a petition presented to him sometime ago, the Board of Supervisors at their last meeting, cut off from Anaheim school district a large tract north of Anaheim, now known as Orangethorpe district. But some of the residents of the new district have become dissatisfied with the boundary lines, and are desirious of receding, and be again attached to Anaheim. A petition is being circulated asking the supervisors to cut off a certain part in the south east corner of Orangethorpe district, because the residents of said portion will be nearer to the Anaheim school than to the proposed location of the Orangethorpe school. As there is no doubt that their request will be granted, it would be well for the trustees of Orangethorpe to postpone the election called for the 26th of this month until after the first Monday in August.

This new draft law certainly has plenty of teeth in it; evidently it was drawn up in this manner so that the actual drafting of individuals, falling within the draft age, would be at a minimum. Certainly the draft age youth can see the advantage of a voluntary enlistment, the principle advantage, of course, being that of his choice of branch of service, and the fact that a three year term of service completes his military obligations insofar as the act is concerned. As a comparison here is a summary of the service required of men inducted under the Draft Act. Men drafted must serve 21 months. Anyone of draft age shall be offered the opportunity to enlist for 21 months' service in the regular Army. (Current laws governing length of enlistments in the Navy or Air Force are unchanged. Persons may volunteer for one year extension of inducted service.) Anyone who is enlisted, inducted or appointed in the armed forces after the effective date of the act and completes less than 36 months service and who meets the qualifications for enlistment therein, must be transferred to a reserve component for five years and be subject to such additional training and service as may be prescribed by law for such component. In lieu of five years in a reserve component, persons completing 21 months' service or more may discharge this reserve obligation by: (1) An additional year of active duty, which extension is authorized, or (2) 36 months in an organized unit of a reserve component satisfactorily participating in scheduled drills and training as prescribed by the Secretary of Defense.
