Dee. 2, 1969 DES MOINES TRIBUNE 9 Draft Lottery Calls, by Date To determine place in line for the draft next year, find birthday among the list of dates and take note of the number next to it. Starting in January, each draft board will begin calling men for military service on the basis of that list. The first ones called will be the men with birthday matching the date next to number one. Next come those whose birthday matches number two, and so on.

By the time most draft boards have worked their way into the middle or upper 100's they probably wilt have all the men they need for their 1970 quotas. Men with birth dates drawn early in the list can be almost sure of receiving a draft notice next year; men with middle-range numbers may have to wait all year to see if they are drafted; men whose birthdays are drawn late in the list, next to numbers in the 200's or 300's, probably will not be drafted. Every man in the nation who reaches the age of 19 but not 26 by Dec. 31, 1969, will have a place-in-line number determined by Monday night's drawing. But only men classified 1-A "available for service" will be subject to draft call in 19T0.

Men granted deferment or exemption by their local draft boards will not be called while their deferments or exemptions continue. But the place-in-line number they draw in Monday night's lottery will stay with them; and if they lose their deferments or exemptions and become 1-A, they will fall back into line with other draftable men in exactly the same place they would have occupied if they had not been deferred or exempt. There will be a new drawing each year for men who have reached the age of 19 since the last lottery. JAN. FEB.
